Q: Do I need a building permit for a closet?

• <div><p>You may need a building permit to add a closet, depending on the size and kind of work required to install it. The most likely scenario requiring a permit involves changing the structure of the house and performing electrical work for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bright-ideas-closet-lighting.htm">closet lighting</a>. A permit can cost between $100 and $450. If you&rsquo;re installing a smaller reach-in closet, a permit may not be required, but always check with your local municipality and consult a closet designer or builder.</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: How should I secure DIY home office built-ins to the wall?

• <div><p>When you are securing your DIY home office built-ins to the wall, you should start by<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-find-stud-in-wall.htm"> locating the wall studs</a>. You'll then want to use long screws to attach the cabinets, shelves, and bookcases directly to the wall studs. Your built-ins will be far too heavy to attach to the drywall alone by using anchors.</p></div>

Q: Can I design my own closet?

• <div><p>You can design your own closet, but it&rsquo;s usually better to hire a professional to do the work for you. Not only will you get years of design experience to guide you toward the right layout and material choices, but you&rsquo;ll also only pay slightly more hiring a professional than you would creating your own plans and hiring a carpenter. A high-quality closet designer can provide insight into how to lay out your closet, and they may be able to find you a good deal on the carpentry or complete the work using an affordable, in-house team.</p></div>

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>

I recently left the union as a journeyman carpenter and superintendent. I built custom homes in my 20’s after graduating from college with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Before college I worked in all phases of construction from concrete and framing to finish work. I have a well rounded understanding of building and am passionate about what I do and the quality of work I provide. In my personal life I am led by Jesus. I enjoy running several times a week and working out in my home gym. My goals are to provide value to my clients and give back to my community.
