How to Pick a Custom Closet Company
Do you feel engulfed by closet clutter? When you open your closet are you standing knee deep in shoes and boots you've collected for the last ten years? If you spend hours searching for items in your closest then it's time to call a custom closet company. Your custom closet design should be practical and keep you organized. Follow these steps to select the best company for your closet's needs.
- Clean out the clutter. Before contacting any closet organization company, rid your closet of items you no longer need. Take your old shoes, boots and clothes to Goodwill or other local charity. Make sure the items left in your closet are items that you use on a regular basis. The closet design should be practical. You do not want to base the closet design around a lot of clutter from items that you never use.
- Read the newspaper. Many custom closet companies advertise in the local paper. Take a look at their advertisements. Do they show a creative style or are they boring and simple? The advertisement should describe the type of services they provide. Check their ad to see if they will provide a free estimate.
- Go online. Search for "closet design companies" through an online search engine such as Google. The website should give you extensive information on the design company and the services they provide. Many websites have an interactive design studio. By using the interactive studio you can view different basic designs for custom closets. Many of the online sites also have a pricing estimator so you can estimate the cost of the custom designed closets.
- Call a builder. Most builders sub-contract their custom closet services. Ask the builder if you can view a few of their model homes so you can evaluate their custom design closets.
- Contact a few closet design companies. Ask if they will come to your house to provide a free estimate. Ensure you are getting the best service and the best price. When they give you an estimate ask if it includes the price for the products, like shelves and framework, and the price for the installation. See if there is a warranty for the products and the installation. Ask them to leave a copy of the closet design plans so that you can shop and compare between several closet design companies.
