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’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’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: How does a built-in closet affect the value of a home?

• <div><p>The addition of a properly installed built-in closet will generally make a home more competitive on the market and increase its sales price. If, however, you are converting an existing room into a walk-in closet, it will likely drive the value downward. The balance between utility and value is hard to get right, but generally speaking, if you add utility with a built-in closet that doesn&rsquo;t detract much from the square footage of the room, then you&rsquo;ll likely add value to your home.</p></div>

Q: What is the standard size of a walk-in closet?

• <div><p>A standard walk-in closet has dimensions of 7 feet by 10 feet at a minimum and an average of 100 square feet. Remember that the dimensions of the closet aren&rsquo;t necessarily the usable space. This means that a 100-square-foot walk-in closet with shelves on each wall and an island may only have a walkable area of 50 square feet or less. Make sure you consider the effect of additions when you plan the room&mdash;mockups are a great idea. </p></div>

Q: Should books be packed spine up or down?

• <div><p>You should primarily pack books upright in boxes. But if you are trying to squeeze books into every last space of the box, you can pack sturdy paperback books with their spines down in the box. You can pack large books flat, as they take up more space anyway.</p></div>

Q: How much does built-in furniture construction cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on size, materials, and design complexity.</p></div>

Bryce can do it all. I'm pretty handy but when I'm in over my head I always call Monument Custom Builders to bail me out. He has done an excellent siding job for me as well as a custom closet build. He's honest and fair. He shows up and gets the job done right. If you get around in Rapid City...
