Q: How much does custom closet construction cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on size, materials, and features.</p></div>

Q: Should books be packed spine up or down?

• <div><p>You should primarily pack books upright in boxes. But if you are trying to squeeze books into every last space of the box, you can pack sturdy paperback books with their spines down in the box. You can pack large books flat, as they take up more space anyway.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to build a custom closet?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-build-interior-closet-4x8-double-doors.htm">Building a custom closet costs</a> about <b>$2,000</b>, on average. Because many types, sizes, and designs are available, the cost to build custom closets ranges from <b>$250 to $6,000 or more</b>. A reach-in closet is on the lower end of the price range from about $250 to $1,500, compared to a walk-in closet at $750 to $3,500 or a wardrobe at the high end between $1,500 and $6,000 or more.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to build or buy a closet?

• <div><p>Whether it&rsquo;s less expensive to build or buy a closet depends on both the type of closet and whether or not you&rsquo;d be constructing it yourself. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-custom-closets-cost.htm">cost of custom closets</a> built by a pro ranges from $1,300 to $3,800, but you may be able to DIY it for as little as $400. By contrast, prefabricated options go as low as $200 and up to $3,000, so it&rsquo;s almost always less expensive to go this route. </p></div>

Q: How to pack clothes for long-term storage?

• <div><p>When storing your clothes long-term, first consider the container's breathability. While plastic bags, cardboard boxes, or vacuum sealing may be great options for short-term storage, they won&rsquo;t help your clothes hold up in the long term. Breathable plastic boxes and fabric bags help with airflow, prevent mold or mildew from building up, and allow proper airflow.</p></div>

"Their quality of work was great......As far as their customer service...I have another small deck that I need refinishing but wasn't ready while they were doing the large deck and stairs. I had new metal railings and post sleeves installed. I have repeatedly called and left messages with no callback. I did get through once but and spoke to Jake but he never touched base with me again. Also they say that a $25 gas card will be given to a paid in full job. The job was paid and no gas card. They said it would be mailed. I'm still waiting...Overall they did a good job but their customer service could be better."

"This is a small, owner-operated business with diligent and trustworthy support employees. Kevin communicated with us regularly and was clear in his explanations. His estimate included minor repairs to siding. Where he noted defects (mostly due to aging) he pointed them out and even took some pictures to clarify what was wrong. He caulked areas, prior to painting, that should have been taken care of by the original builder. We chose a rather bold color to be applied to vinyl siding. He took the time and effort to make sure that shifting of the siding would have a minimal impact on the final appearance. His final invoice was more than fair considering the quality of his work. His attention to detail was incredible! He was easy to work with and we can't recommend him highly enough."
