General Closet Questions Asked Most Often

Yes, all our In-Home Consultations are Free and under no obligation to purchase. A professional Closet Designer will arrive at your place and electronically measure all your storage spaces that require to be dressed with closets, cabinets or other storage solutions.

Traditionally the measurement, collecting data, and tabulating it takes about 7 to 12 minutes per room, with smaller installations like the linen closet only taking a few minutes. 

You should expect the consultant to take approximately the multiple of the above for the rooms to be measured and about 10 minutes extra for the collection of ideas and inclusions to the storage areas.

The proposal will include drawings, video showing your storage area and a detailed budget proposal. The designs for the requirements are done on CAD-based design software, and then a video is generated showing your spaces with our vision of what you require. 

This does take a few days to prepare, based on the quantity of items we are to design, it may take a few more days. 

Your consultant will be best able to guess this time, at the time he/she is at your premises.

Our professional closet and cabinet designers are able to "READ" your closet for what is stored within it. In cases of an empty closet, this may require some extra details. However once our designer has digested all requirements, a plan of attack is established towards the design of the storage space.

If particular requirements are a must, then this is also taken down, however, you will have an opportunity to change the design layouts on the presentation of the designs and video.

We thrive on using electronic means to present the designs, and therefore invite you to use our published calendar to book a ZOOM screen sharing appointment for the presentation to be delivered to you.

On the presentation, you will view the video of your storage space, with the dimensional drawings, including all accessories chosen, with digital props where available.

Your presenter will also share a detailed Budget Proposal, showing you the break-outs of all rooms, and other deluxe options and color/texture choices to choose from.

If there are any changes required on the designs, our presenter will accommodate this directly within our design software and will change the designs to your exact requirements. A revised Budget Proposal will then be presented to show the effect of the changes on the pricing models.

All changes that are made on the first presentation are at no charge, as our goal is to satisfy your requirements. The changes may be slight or involved, and they will not be charged. 

It is assumed that on the presentation of the Video, drawings and Budgets, that you are leaning towards awarding us the project.

Any further attempts to change the designs will require a fully refundable deposit, so that we have a commitment to making further changes without charge.

The presenter showing you the video, designs and budgets will share a copy of the video and pricing with you. If there are any changes made, these will be incorporated in the shared files.
