"HQ builders helped me plan and build a home theater addition to my house. Oliver was collaborative and honest about what would work best for my situation. He did a great job managing his contractors, moving progress forward, and keeping me updated. I am thrilled with the space he created for me. It's wonderful to work with a company that feels a strong responsibility for the quality of their work and your satisfaction."

"Abram is simply the best! His attention to detail is incredible, he is highly skilled and he is immaculate - always cleans up after himself. (Something most other subcontractors did not do). He did more than just the cabinets in our new house - he installed our custom bookcases, desk and file drawers in our office (which takes up an entire wall), custom floor to ceiling entertainment center in our great room, baseboards, doors, door knobs, towel bars, hooks, shower curtain rod, rod for clothes in laundry room, mirrors, and more throughout our new house. Abram takes pride in his work and it shows. He truly has a God-given talent and is a true craftsman. We highly recommend Abram."

Closets questions, answered by experts

The differences between a built-in closet and a walk-in aren’t that different from a built-in wardrobe and a walk-in closet. It’s fairly simple—a walk-in closet is a closet you can physically enter, stand in, and walk around in. A built-in (whether wardrobe or closet) is more akin to covered shelves installed into a recess in the wall. Another big difference is walk-in closets almost always have traditional full-size doors, while built-ins either have no doors or use sliding doors.

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.

Custom closet renovations offer a return on investment of 50% to 60%. This means that if you spend $2,000 on a closet remodel, you can expect to see your home's value increase by $1,000 to $1,200. Investing in a custom closet allows you to enhance your daily living experience while building equity.

If you’re on a tight budget, the least expensive material you can buy for DIY closet shelves is chipboard, a.k.a. particle board. This inexpensive material is made from a pulp of sawdust, resin, and glue that’s pressed together under high temperature and pressure. As you can imagine, it’s not very sturdy and might buckle under your blue jean collection, so you should only use it if you’re storing very light items. 

How many days it takes to remodel a closet will also depend on the scale of the project. Small changes like installing a prefab kit will eat up an afternoon and no more, while a total renovation could require several days to a week. If you’re planning for the latter, plan to secure other sleeping arrangements while construction is ongoing.
