"Wow! I think we are the happiest homeowner in the world! Katie and her gal crew of Tammy & Kristin were absolutely delightful! Came on time, super friendly, kind, work driven to get the job done, never took a break, & never stressed me out with the decisions of what to throw out, donate, keep, put in rummage sale, or put on Marketplace. Katie had a plan from the moment she got there and the gals followed her lead. Katie had a great way to organize the bins for now and the future. She had great ideas on what organizational shelves, bins, & seasonal bags/boxes to buy. We are very pleased and highly recommend Katie and her team."

"If you are looking to refresh your wardrobe instead of buying new - contact Talia to organize your closet! She will give you ideas on things that you might not put together yourself so it looks like you have a brand new wardrobe. Sometimes you are too close to your own wardrobe and having an outside perspective helps you make wise decisions!"
"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
"The insurance company hired another remediation company on our behalf, but I contacted Rich for another estimate/opinion. Rich provided me advice via phone on multiple occasions, told me what to look for and assured me that the other company was following industry standards. Ultimately Rich came to our house to potentially provide us with an estimate on the rebuild portion of the remediation. Although we could not use Custom Craft Environmental for this project, I would recommend them to anyone and would definitely use them in the future, based on Rich's knowledge, responsiveness and professionalism."

"Ken replaced some decorative vinyl shutters on our 2-story home with a fairly steep grade on one side. He was able to work this job in between his schedule and completed it quickly and with a good result. He cleaned everything up and was professional. He was much more reasonable than 2 other quotes I got for the same job. I would recommend him."
Building custom cabinets or built-in furniture yourself is possible, especially for basic designs, if you have woodworking experience. For a professional result, hiring a service is recommended to ensure precision, high-quality craftsmanship, and superior finishes.
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.
There are a few reasons custom closets are expensive: materials used, the luxury factor, and time to build. The people who can afford custom closets are those who can afford increased rates, and construction workers and contractors know this and charge accordingly. The time to build custom closets is substantial, especially if expensive material is being used or intricate details (like carved wood) are added to the project.
You can modernize an old-looking closet by just painting it, but beyond that, consider electric elements like recessed or accent lighting. If this is a large and deep closet, you can consider adding an island to the middle or a nice ottoman on a rug. Luxury closets will have even more items, like felt-lined drawers for watches and jewelry, in-wall safes, electronic shoe storage, or a tablet catalog of their items.
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.
