"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

When you are securing your DIY home office built-ins to the wall, you should start by locating the wall studs. 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.

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’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—mockups are a great idea.

If you have a bathroom closet with movable shelves, you can place them at virtually any spacing that works for you. Useful measurements between shelves in the working, or middle, section can be 10 to 16 inches for towels or linens. Lower or higher shelving could be up to 24 inches between shelves to store lesser-used or bulky items or boxes. 

The time it takes to build a closet varies widely depending on the project's size, complexity, and level of customization. On average, construction can take anywhere from a few days to two weeks.

A simple reach-in closet might be completed in less than a day, while a more complex walk-in closet could take one to two days or more. A typical project often falls in the 2-to-5-day range. However, a large, highly customized walk-in closet that requires structural changes, like moving a load-bearing wall, will take significantly longer.

A professional contractor can provide the most accurate time estimate for your specific project. If you are planning a DIY build, it is best to budget additional time.

Most packing services take 4-12 hours, while unpacking may take 1-2 days, depending on volume.
