How long does an installation take?

Most installations are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex projects may take two days.

Booking times vary depending on the current schedule and material availability and selection. Most custom closet installations are scheduled about 2 weeks after your design is finalized but if we already have your materials in stock, we may be able to start sooner. During your consultation, we’ll review your exact timeline so you know when your project can begin.

Before installation:

Please empty your closet and remove your existing system, patching and painting any holes as needed.

In most cases, we can design around your existing baseboards and doors, so removing them is usually not necessary.

On installation day:

Please leave enough space around the closet for our installers to work comfortably. If possible, please ensure there’s a parking space so we can make any necessary adjustments outside your home. We also ask that pets are kept in a secure room or area during the installation to keep them safe and let our team work efficiently.

Once installation is complete, our team cleans up thoroughly and will walk through the finished space with you to ensure you’re completely satisfied.

Will someone guide me through the process?
Yes. From your first call to final installation, our team supports you every step of the way.
Absolutely. We value clear communication, punctuality, treating your home with care and respect.
Whether it’s a single reach in closet or a full home project, every job receives the same attention and craftsmanship.
Do your products come with a warranty?

We stand by our work. All of our laminate products, melamine cabinetry and installation workmanship are backed by a lifetime warranty. If a defect occurs, we will repair or replace the affected component at no cost. Our warranty reflects our confidence in the quality of our material and craftsmanship. It is also transferable one time to a subsequent homeowner, adding long term value and peace of mind.

A soft cloth and mild cleanser are usually all you need. Avoid harsh chemicals to protect the integrity of materials.
