Since 1997 Cutting Edge Closets, a local independent, family owned business, has been helping homeowners all over Greater Houston utilize their storage space in every room in the house. Walk-in closets, reach-in closets, Home Offices, Media Centers, Garages, Laundry Rooms, and Pantries are some of the areas we specialize in. We take great pride in manufacturing our own products, in our state of the art facility located in Tomball, Tx. Cutting Edge Closets is a BBB ACCREDITED A+ rated business with 0 complaints in over 22 years! All of our work is covered by our Lifetime Guarantee! Our trained designers will meet with you in your home for a Free Design Consultation, taking an inventory of your storage items and discussing your exact storage needs. Using our exclusive CAD program, our designers can show you a 3D rendering of your project, many times right there during the consultation. For larger projects it usually takes a couple days to complete your drawings, at which time you may visit our showroom to review your design, participate in a webinar with your designer, or schedule a second in home consultation for a design review. Our trained installers are Cutting Edge Closets employees that have gone through a rigorous training program and screening. All of our current installers have 10 years or more of experience, with a few approaching 20 years with our company! They will arrive at your home in our clean company vans to complete your install. Most of our installs take only one day! And all of our work will ALWAYS end with our signature "Spotless Clean-up". Give Cutting Edge Closets a call today, and have your space organized quickly and efficiently by the pros at Cutting Edge Closets.

"In my new Houston high-rise condo I had Cutting Edge rebuil 5 closets, including a giant master walk-in with lighted glass cabinets for purse display; a storage closet for extra products and clothing; laundry cabinets; butler's pantry; and, a guest bedroom built-in for hanging and storage. Not my first time at closet/cabinet custom work. But this time was a pleasure! Bill came immediately for in-home planning, then in 3 days he held a zoom design review, 2nd zoom design review and fast, then in 10 days, perfect execution of the plan. Not one minute of that horrible process of waiting for carpenters, painters to stink up and cover the space with tarps - it is what I would call "fast custom." The work is beautiful, very high-end. Very fair price, turn-key quote that was 100% the final bill - No surprises. Installers were super professional and determined that the customer would be happy -- and I am one happy customer! Cutting Edge Owner even came to check out during the job! They have done this nearly 30 yrs. and are exactly what you pray for when you need a contractor."

"The wait for installation was long and when scheduled, they called to "reschedule" due to the installer. Apparently they use outside contractors to install. When they showed up, they worked hard but one installer left for over 2 hours, leaving on one to work. They did not want to quit and come back (found out they get paid by the job and couldn't pick up a new job until ours was finished. They left the house at 10:05 PM. The salesman put the wrong transitions in the order despite numerous conversations. They also installed the shoe molding around our kitchen island wrong. I went to store in Pearland the next day. My salesman had been transferred and I met with the District Manager. It took over a week to get anyone back out to fix and then they brought the wrong transitions again. I called the District Manager and complained. She told me they weren't there to fix the island until I asked her to check the paperwork and she admitted it was on the work order. After numerous phone calls, the installers went to Home Depot and came back with something that would work. They were nice and got it fixed. The carpet was scheduled later and when they showed up, they pulled the old pile carpet and told me that the defects in the staircase would show up if they installed the berber carpet. I asked why the salesman didn't discuss that with me. He said the salesmen don't install. They suggested I fix the staircase, repaint it and call them back. I got it fixed and called the store. The District Manager told me it would be 3 weeks before they could come back even though the installer said it would take less than 2 hours to install it. I have called back and asked to improve the installation. They said they send an email to installation but I am still waiting a week later. I am calling the COO in Houston tomorrow. The first 2 times I used Floors for Living, they were privately owned but have been purchased by another company. The entire process was much different and less congenial. I won't ever use them again and caution anyone thinking about it to check multiple review sources."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Yes, many kinds of building permits exist for various projects in and outside your home. Each city sets the permit categories, but they typically cover new construction, alterations, and demolition. For example, you will need a different permit to finish a basement than you would tear down the patio.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor’s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that the builder you’re considering holds all the proper licenses.

Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.
