Get matched with top closet pros in Rochester, NY

Q: What’s the difference between a reach-in pantry and a walk-in pantry?

• <div><p>A &quot;reach-in pantry&quot; is a smaller, cabinet-style pantry that allows you to grab items by simply reaching inside. On the other hand, a &quot;walk-in pantry&quot; is like a closet or small room that offers a larger space that you can physically enter to get your food. Walk-in pantries allow for more customizable shelving. A reach-in pantry is usually around 5 feet wide by 2 feet deep, while a walk-in pantry is closer to 5 feet by 5 feet or larger. </p></div>

Q: What do closet design services include?

• <div><p>Closet design services include help designing and laying out your closet for maximum utility, visual appeal, and return on investment. Many closet designers can also include the carpentry required to construct your custom closet. You should speak with your designer beforehand to determine what services are included in the estimate, and prepare to lay out additional funds for materials or labor as needed.</p></div>

Q: How do material choices and design features influence the price of building a closet?

• <div><p>Costs depend on material type, size, and additional features like lighting or sliding doors.</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: 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>

"Carlos was great in his approach to really care about my log home window sills to rebuilding them from some dry rot. He discussed with me in detail how he was not only what the fix process was but really cared about how the look across the entire log home would match and look like. The finished job was very great and looks very good, Thankyou Carlos, highly recommended."

"We had Barndog Woodworking build a custom pool deck for us. They did an excellent job and were great to work with. While many contractors rush to get the job done as quickly as possible, they really took their time and made sure it got done right. We also appreciated how they communicated with us clearly throughout the entire project. We highly recommend them."

"So happy we chose R&D for our exterior wall repairs! they were great to work with throughout the process of what turned out to be a complicated issue. Their communication was really appreciated as they dug into things and problem solved some unique issues with how the previous home owners had cut corners on the house. R&D wasn’t the cheapest initial bid we received but I have no doubt that we would have wound up paying more in the end for a lower quality result with anyone else. Thanks guys!"

"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."
