Custom Closet Questions Answered
Get answers to common questions about our closet systems, pricing, and installation process.
How much do custom built-in closet systems cost in Shelton?
Our custom closet systems start at $2,500 for smaller reach-in closets. Master walk-in closets typically range from $5,000 to $12,000 depending on size and complexity. The final price depends on your material choices—solid hardwood construction costs more than furniture-grade plywood, but both options far exceed the quality of big-box alternatives. We provide detailed quotes after an in-home consultation so there are no surprises.
Are built-in closets better than wire shelving?
Custom built-in closets outperform wire shelving in every practical way. Solid wood construction handles the weight of heavy winter coats and bulky items without sagging or bending. Built-ins also prevent dust accumulation since items aren't exposed through open wire grids. Most importantly, quality built-in closets add measurable value to your home—appraisers and buyers recognize the difference between custom cabinetry and temporary wire solutions.
How long does a custom closet installation take?
From design approval to completion, expect 4-8 weeks total. Shop fabrication takes 3-6 weeks as we build every component to your exact specifications. The actual on-site installation is quick—typically 1-3 days depending on the project scope. We coordinate installation timing with you to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Do you offer custom entryway cabinets for PNW weather?
Yes, we specialize in entryway solutions built for Pacific Northwest conditions. Our mudroom cabinets feature moisture-resistant finishes that stand up to wet coats, umbrellas, and muddy boots. We incorporate vented shoe storage compartments to prevent odor and mildew. For high-traffic areas, we recommend durable hardwoods like White Oak that resist scratches and dents from daily use.
Can you match my existing bedroom furniture?
Absolutely. We offer custom stain and paint matching services to seamlessly integrate your new built-in wardrobe with existing furniture and architectural details. This includes matching trim profiles, crown molding styles, and door designs. We're experienced in working with historic homes and can replicate period-appropriate details to maintain your home's character.
What materials do you use for your closet systems?
We exclusively use furniture-grade plywood and solid hardwood—never particle board, MDF cores, or flimsy laminates. Our plywood features high-quality veneers and void-free construction. For solid wood components, we source locally when possible and follow sustainable practices. Every piece is finished with low-VOC products for indoor air quality.
Are your closet systems ADA compliant?
We design accessibility-focused closet systems for clients who need ADA-compliant features or aging-in-place solutions. This includes lowered hanging rods, pull-down closet systems, roll-under shelving for wheelchair access, and drawers positioned at accessible heights. Each system is customized to the specific mobility needs of the homeowner.
Where can I get a custom built-in closet in Lacey?
We provide full closet design and installation services throughout Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, and the greater South Sound region. Our shop is conveniently located in Shelton, and we offer mobile design consultations at your home.
