Q: Can I use 12-inch shelves in a closet?

• <div><p>Yes, 12-inch shelves are often considered the standard closet shelf depth for storing folded clothing, shoes, and small containers. However, if you plan to store bulky items such as blankets, baskets, or cleaning supplies, you may want to go deeper. For specialized layouts, an adjustable system can give you more flexibility.</p></div>

Q: Can I turn a room into a walk-in closet?

• <div><p>You can turn an adjacent room into a walking closet by just rearranging the room. This means removing the furniture and adding racks and an island in the center if you have that in your budget. Houses with two bedrooms connected to each other are great options for large walk-in closets that don't require any structural changes or much building whatsoever. </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: What makes a perfect laundry room?

• <div><p>The features you choose for your laundry room to make it perfect depend largely on how you'll use the space, the size of your family, and their laundry needs. A perfect laundry room will have ample storage space, a clothes washer and dryer that are large enough for your needs and have good convenience features, and enough room to move around and work with enough countertop space to make laundry chores as easy as possible. </p></div>

Brady stopped over the next day to look at the project, answered questions & explained how they would go about it. The areas were dug out, prepped, packed, formed & poured in just a couple days. Crew was prompt & cleaned the area nicely.

I recently started trash removal with L&L. Unlike the competitor, they pick up the dumpster every 2 weeks instead of once a month. I really appreciate this. They are very friendly and have not had any issues at all with their services.
