Q: What type of wood is best for closet shelves?

• <div><p>Plywood, MDF (medium-density fiberboard), and solid wood are all popular options for closet shelving. Plywood and solid wood are sturdy and ideal for extended shelves or heavy items. MDF is a budget-friendly choice for light to moderate storage, but it can sag under heavy weight if not adequately supported. Wire shelving is another alternative that allows airflow, making it especially useful in humid spaces such as laundry rooms or basements.</p></div>

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: Does it take longer to remodel or build a new custom closet?

• <div><p>Although you can complete a closet frame in just an afternoon, finishing the entire closet will take a few days to a week. However, that&rsquo;s still not as much as the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/average-days-for-closet-remodel.htm">average time it takes to remodel a closet</a>, which can take anywhere from several weeks to more than a month. That&rsquo;s because you also have to consider the time it will take to demolish the existing space, plan a new design, order materials, and actually install it. </p></div>

Q: What are some common features and upgrades for custom closets?

• <div><p>Some features and upgrades you can add (some of which increase the closet&rsquo;s value) are: modular shelving, motion-activated lighting, climate control, custom lighting, cigar humidors, revolving shoe racks, jewelry shelves, custom woodwork, and built-in laundry hampers. While only truly luxury closets have all of these, many custom closets have at least one special feature listed above. </p></div>

Q: How do you modernize an old-looking closet?

• <div><p>You can modernize an old-looking closet by just painting it, but beyond that, consider electric elements like recessed or accent lighting. If this is a large and deep closet, you can consider adding an island to the middle or a nice ottoman on a rug. Luxury closets will have even more items, like felt-lined drawers for watches and jewelry, in-wall safes, electronic shoe storage, or a tablet catalog of their items. </p></div>

We had a failed DIY closet on a budget with tight timeline before interior painting starts. He was amazing at saving this project in time and now the closet looks fabulous! I feel so lucky to find him. I would have him again when I get to my next home improvement project.

"All about Closets. Absolutely Fabulous Product and Job. I am so happy with my custom closet. George has such an eye for lay out based on the amounts of clothes and accessories you have and how everything can be organized. The process of ordering was painless. Every thing came in when it was scheduled and his team made sure the job was done right. The price was also fantastic. It beat the competition hands down. George's measurements were impeccable and he was also very easy to work. I would absolutely recommend George the owner to any and all friends or family. I could not be happier!
