"Very friendly, prompt, went out of their way to provide correct materials and make everything perfect. Local company, reasonably priced. I highly recommend them! ð"
"We had an idea to use IKEA bookshelves as the base for a large set of pseudo-built-in bookshelves. We shared a picture with Mike, and he worked up some great plans that were affordable as well as just what we were looking for. Mike is so communicative, friendly, and informative. He does great work and also takes the time to explain his plan and keep you in the loop to achieve a great final product. We're so grateful for Mike and were glad to use him a second time already."
"They were very receptive to any ideas we had and any changes to the remodeling plan that we suggested. Their work is top-notch! The custom barn door (which they designed) was a beautiful addition to our custom coat closet / pantry. I would highly recommend them for any project you have."
An organized home helps create an organized mind. I am a Certified Advanced Practice Social Worker who has a passion for providing people with homes they love and feel safe in. I have learned a lot about how our brains work and why some struggle with clutter and want to support people who are interested in learning skills to maintain their dream home. My company works with customers to help them feel comfortable while providing a judgement free zone. With that, I also offer move out cleanings, deep cleaning as needed and regular cleanings if that is what you desire. I also have a lot of experience in maintaining yards. I have a deep passion for helping others and hope to be able to support you soon!
"I was shocked at how quick Peter was able to get me on his schedule for my project. Within a week of me calling the project had been completed. He was conscious of my neighbors and not disrupting the flow of the small space. He was able to remove a fence with no additional damage to the yard, cleaned up and hauled away all the debris. This project was seamless and that’s because of how Peter handled it."
"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."
"We are VERY VERY happy with the job done by Kitchen and Bath Solutions! They worked with me and helped me to achieve the look that I wanted. Everyone that worked in our home was respectful and did a fantastic job. Working with Alberto and Elizabeth was a pleasure!! The cost of this remodel was very competitive with other like businesses in this area."
Whether it’s less expensive to build or buy a closet depends on both the type of closet and whether or not you’d be constructing it yourself. The cost of custom closets built by a pro ranges from $1,300 to $3,800, but you may be able to DIY it for as little as $400. By contrast, prefabricated options go as low as $200 and up to $3,000, so it’s almost always less expensive to go this route.
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 certainly luxury upgrades you can make but you can seriously improve the look and functionality of a closet without spending much money. Color matching will make the closet seem bigger so any shelves painted the same as the wall is a good tip. While pre-made closet organizers may seem expensive they offer an aesthetic look that's hard to achieve with DIY methods. Lastly, removing clutter and unworn items will help the closet seem bigger and cleaner.
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.
