Final Sign-Off on Each Detail

You will receive a 3D mockup of the closet design before we start to build the components in our shop. At this point, you are more than welcome to provide feedback, and we will correct the simulation of your closet before a single board is sawed.

We Offer a Lifetime Warranty

We are so committed to quality in our materials, designs, and workmanship that we offer our customers a lifetime warranty. Should you notice warped or cracked boards, if a sliding door starts to stick, or if anything else goes awry, please let us know as soon as possible.

From Purely Practical to High End - You Have Options

Your Choice of High End Closet Finishes

We can accommodate a variety of high-end finish options for a luxurious and personalized space. Consider premium wood materials such as walnut, cherry, or oak with custom staining or lacquering for a refined appearance. Incorporate soft-close drawers and hinges for sophisticated functionality, or ask us about working with a local electrician or lighting specialist on energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the closet, including accent lights, display case lighting, and motion-activated sensors.

Elegant glass-fronted cabinets can showcase favorite items or collections, while velvet-lined drawers add a touch of luxury to jewelry and accessory storage. High-end designer hardware, such as handles, knobs, and pulls, can complement the overall design and add a personalized touch. Built-in seating, like plush benches or ottomans upholstered in high-quality fabric or leather, enhances comfort and convenience. Leather drawer pulls and accents, along with architectural elements like crown molding and wainscoting, can elevate the visual appeal of the closet.

For the ultimate convenience and luxury, consider rotating shoe racks or motorized clothing racks that bring items to clients at the push of a button. Custom mirrors, including full-length, wall-mounted, or built-in mirrors with elegant frames or LED lighting, provide a polished and functional addition to the space. Finally, specialized climate-controlled storage areas can maintain optimal conditions for delicate items, such as furs or fine fabrics. By offering these high-end finish options, you can help your affluent clients create a custom closet that meets their unique tastes and requirements while providing a luxurious and comfortable space to store and display their belongings.

No Interest in a Luxe Closet? No Problem - Quality and Design is Standard

You don't need leather upholstery and rotating jewelry displays to have an amazing closet system. From walk-in closets in your master bedroom suite to linen closets in the hallway, we will customize every detail for you.

For instance, we can design floor-level storage with benches on top, with clothing racks high enough to allow for seating underneath. We can also create built-ins that won't eat up square footage, and practical and beautiful closet islands are always available. We can also install slanted shelving for shoes or watches, and we can secure your valuables with lockable systems.

You also have complete control over the trim and molding we use on your design. You can use crown molding for a timeless look, or we can use modern colors and finishes (gray ash, for instance) with geometric lines.

What We'll Chat About in Your Free Consultation

To start off, we'll discuss your objectives for the closet, including storage capacity, organization preferences, and specific functionalities they desire. Our designers will also visit the space and take accurate measurements- we will also consider any structural constraints or unique features.

It's essential to assess the types and quantities of items you want to store in the closet, such as clothing, shoes, accessories, and special items like jewelry or handbags. We'll chat about preferred design aesthetics, including style, materials, finishes, and color schemes, and address your budget to ensure that the proposed design aligns with their financial expectations.

We then collaborate on the closet layout and organization, taking into account factors like hanging space, shelving, drawers, and other storage solutions, as well as your habits and lifestyle. Lighting requirements for the space certainly come into play, including ambient, task, and accent lighting, and any additional electrical needs such as outlets or charging stations.

We will then explore high-end finish options and custom features you may be interested in, like built-in seating, rotating shoe racks, motorized clothing racks, or climate-controlled storage.

We then provide an estimated project timeline and discuss the installation process, addressing any potential scheduling concerns. You will receive a clear line of communication and expectations for collaboration throughout the design and installation process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Cabinets

How Does The Design Process Begin?

We start by scheduling a no-obligation consultation at your home. During that visit, we take accurate measurements, look at the layout of the space, and ask detailed questions about how you plan to use the cabinets. We also bring samples so you can see materials and finishes in person. Once we understand your goals, we create a full 3D rendering of the cabinet system. You'll be able to review and revise the design until it feels like a perfect fit for your space and your routine.

What Types Of Materials Can I Choose From?

We typically build our cabinets using high-quality commercial-grade MDF, short for medium-density fiberboard. It's denser and smoother than standard plywood or particle board, and it won't warp or split over time. This material gives us cleaner cuts, crisper edges, and a flawless surface for paint or laminate finishes. Lower-end materials often contain soft pockets or uneven layers that weaken over time---our MDF avoids those problems entirely. If you'd prefer natural wood, we also work with maple, oak, walnut, and other hardwoods upon request. We'll explain the differences during your consultation so you can make the right call for your project.

Can You Match Existing Trim, Finishes, Or Cabinet Styles?

Yes. If your home already has custom millwork, crown molding, or cabinet details you'd like to keep consistent, we can replicate or complement them in the new design. We've matched Shaker-style doors, inset panels, and custom paint colors in homes throughout Northern Virginia. Whether you're tying into a larger kitchen, an original built-in, or a specific trim profile, we can carry that look into the new system.

How Long Does The Full Process Usually Take?

Design typically takes one to two weeks, depending on how many revisions are needed. Once you approve the final layout and materials, we build everything in our shop and schedule the installation. Most projects are completed within three to four weeks from start to finish. We'll give you a clear timeline early on and keep you updated throughout the process so there are no surprises.

What Happens During The Installation?

We arrive with your full cabinet system pre-assembled and ready to install. Our team will carefully secure the cabinets to the walls, check every drawer and hinge, and adjust doors for proper alignment. We protect the surrounding area during the install and leave the space clean when we're done. If you have any questions or concerns during the walkthrough, we'll address them on the spot.

What Are My Hardware Options?

You'll be able to choose from a wide range of hinges, drawer slides, knobs, and pulls in a variety of finishes. Whether you want soft-close drawers, modern edge pulls, or something more traditional like cup handles or glass knobs, we can help you find the right fit. Hardware plays a major role in how the cabinets feel day to day, so we'll walk you through options that work for your layout and design preferences.

Can You Add Built-In Lighting, Shelving, Or Other Custom Features?

Yes. We can incorporate LED lighting into cabinet interiors, accent shelving, or under-cabinet zones for better visibility. We also design systems with pull-out trays, vertical dividers, locking drawers, and other specialty features based on your needs. If you want built-in charging stations, integrated laundry hampers, or display shelves with glass fronts, we'll include those in the 3D design and make sure everything functions smoothly.

Do You Offer A Warranty?

We do. We stand behind the durability and craftsmanship of our cabinets. If you ever notice an issue---whether it's a soft-close hinge that needs adjustment or a drawer front that doesn't sit just right---we want to know about it. Quality is something we take seriously, and we aim to build systems that hold up for many years. You'll also have a clear point of contact if anything ever needs to be addressed after installation.

How Are Custom Cabinets Different From Store-Bought Options?

Most store-bought cabinets come in a few fixed sizes and rely on filler strips to bridge gaps. That often leads to awkward corners, uneven spacing, and materials that don't last. We build your cabinet system based on the actual measurements of your space. That gives you more usable storage, cleaner lines, and better durability. Our cabinets feel solid, align perfectly with the room, and age better than anything made with particle board or lightweight prefab parts.

What Areas Of The Home Can You Build Cabinets For?

We design and install custom cabinets for kitchens, garages, mudrooms, laundry rooms, home offices, and more. In the kitchen, we can build full cabinet systems or custom additions like pantry walls or under-counter drawers. In garages, we often install overhead cabinets, locker systems, and storage for tools or seasonal gear. We also create linen storage, wet bar cabinetry, hallway built-ins, and library shelving. If there's a space in your home that feels underused or chaotic, we can probably help.

Do You Offer Financing Or Price Matching?

Yes. We offer financing options to help you move forward with the project on a timeline that works for you. We also provide a price match guarantee with some exceptions. If you've received a lower quote from a qualified company using comparable materials, we're happy to discuss it. Our goal is to provide the highest value without cutting corners.
