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: What are the benefits of built-in furniture?

• <div><p>Built-in furniture maximizes space, offers a tailored look, and enhances room functionality.</p></div>

Q: What height should wire shelves be in a closet?

• <div><p>Fortunately, there are no hard and fast rules or regulations regarding the height of closet shelving. However, the typical height for a single closet shelf with a hanging bar is 70 inches from the floor. For a double-hanging system, use 84 to 85 inches from the floor for the top one and 42 inches for the lower.</p></div>

Q: How do you upgrade your closet on a budget?

• <div><p>There are certainly luxury upgrades you can make but you can seriously improve the look and functionality of a closet without spending much money. Color matching will make the closet seem bigger so any shelves painted the same as the wall is a good tip. While pre-made closet organizers may seem expensive they offer an aesthetic look that's hard to achieve with DIY methods. Lastly, removing clutter and unworn items will help the closet seem bigger and cleaner. </p></div>

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

• <div><p>On average, building a custom or built-in closet costs around $2,100. However, the total price can range from as little as $500 for a simple DIY project to $6,000 or more for a large, high-end custom closet. Most projects typically fall between $1,500 and $5,000.</p><p>The final cost depends on several factors, including the closet's size, type, materials, and features. Here is a general cost breakdown by closet type:</p><ul><li><p>Reach-in closet: $500 to $1,500</p></li><li><p>Walk-in closet: $750 to $5,000</p></li><li><p>Wardrobe: $2,000 to $6,000 or more</p></li></ul><p>Choosing a prefabricated closet system is generally less expensive than a fully custom build.

"Mr. Quinn is the most professional contractor I have had the pleasure to deal with ever, and I don't say that about very many these days. He is forthright, honest, accurate, trustworthy, creative, does what he says, shows up when he says and finishes a job like no other I have seen. He makes the extra effort to make sure you are happy with what you bought and he installed. I recommend him to everyone I come in contact with needing this type of product/service and I emplore anyone reading this feedback to seek his solutions. I can give no higher recommendation. Thanks Mr. Quinn!"

"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
