Answers on custom closets for Charlotte homes.

An individual quotation reflects the layout, the products and the installation scope. Ask for optional accessories and preparation work to appear as separate lines.

Mark the full swing of the closet door on the plan. Check how far each drawer extends toward the wall opposite. Say whether two people need to get dressed at the same time.

List the furniture that stays in the bedroom. Separate what the dresser holds from what hangs in the closet. Check that open dresser drawers leave a path to the closet.

Photograph where the cars normally park. Mark the room needed beside each open car door. Compare the proposed cabinet fronts with the walkway that is left.

Measure the clear width between the walls. See how doors and drawers swing into the aisle. Leave room to lift out the heavier items.

Measure the printer with its trays open. Show which covers lift for cartridges or paper jams. Leave a way to get at the cables.

Describe the baskets in use. Show the route from where laundry is collected to the washer. Check whether the basket lifts out or pulls out.

Ask for the panel, surface, edge and hardware specification, and set it against the sample. A color name alone says nothing about how a cabinet is built.

Spell out removal, fittings that stay and access to the work area. For a garage, include where the vehicles sit during that discussion. Ask which preparation tasks and which separate trades are included.

Request care information for the products that are actually supplied. Finishes that look alike can need different care, and an illustration does not identify the product.
