Q: Why are custom closets so expensive?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons custom closets are expensive: materials used, the luxury factor, and time to build. The people who can afford custom closets are those who can afford increased rates, and construction workers and contractors know this and charge accordingly. The time to build custom closets is substantial, especially if expensive material is being used or intricate details (like carved wood) are added to the project. </p></div>

Q: What are the different types of closets?

• <div><p>Different types of closets are defined mostly by size. A few different types of closets include:</p><ul><li><p>A reach-in closet is a smaller closet that you can stand in front of and reach everything inside it. Aside from the size, the doors and the level of drywall finish are typically the largest price factors. </p></li><li><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/turn-guest-bedroom-walk-closet.htm">walk-in closet</a> can be anything from a small 5-by-5 feet closet that has a narrow walkway with shelves on both sides to a 100 square foot bedroom-sized closet with shelving along the walls and plenty of room to move around in.</p></li><li><p>A built-in wardrobe often does not have a door and leaves the clothes and other contents open to the room, whereas a closet usually has a door to separate it from the rest of the room.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Are books heavier than clothes?

• <div><p>Yes, books are typically heavier than clothes, unless you have a collection exclusively of paperbacks or comic books. That&rsquo;s why packing lots of books warrants careful planning and consideration. Consider packing up your reading collection first to determine whether you need to downsize it before loading it into your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-moving-truck.htm">moving truck</a>.</p></div>

Q: What are the average sizes for different types of closets?

• <div><p>Walk-in closets are always the biggest and can easily be more than 100 square feet. Primary bedroom closets, even if not walk-ins, are the second largest category in most homes and sit between 30 and 80 square feet. Linen closets, utility closets, and built-in closets are smaller and, depending on their usage, tend to be between 10 and 50 square feet.</p></div>

Q: What's the best wood for closet drawers?

• <div><p>Plywood offers excellent stability and strength for drawer construction. Baltic birch plywood provides a premium appearance, while standard hardwood plywood offers good value. Solid wood works well but requires more attention to grain direction and seasonal movement.</p></div>

Tim is a friendly and personable person to work with. I had him open a wall for a closet door. He was kind enough to put up a barrier so the dust didn’t enter the rest of the house. He brought all of his equipment, kept things need and tidy, and cleaned up afterwards. I would recommend him for...
