What to Expect During Your Custom Closet Installation

Your design is finalized, colors and finishes are selected — now comes the exciting part: your custom closet installation! Wondering how it all works? Many installations are done in just one day, with our skilled team handling every detail. Here’s everything you need to know so you can sit back and get ready to enjoy your new space.

Preparing for Installation Day

The best projects start with the right prep. Before our crew arrives, we’ll ask you to clear out anything not secured to the walls like clothing, shoes, storage bins, and anything else taking up shelf or floor space. This keeps your belongings safe and gives us room to work efficiently.

If your walls are drywall, we offer complimentary removal of up to three wire shelves during installation. We will spackle any resulting holes, and if you have touch-up paint on hand, we’ll patch everything for a flawless finish.

If your space needs more than just minor touch-ups, we recommend painting before installation day to ensure your new closet truly shines. Considering new flooring as well? Be sure to have it installed before your closet goes in for the best fit possible.

Finally, if baseboards were present when we measured, leave them in place unless your designer advised otherwise — we’ve already accounted for them in your custom design.

 What Happens on Installation Day

When installation day arrives, our experienced in-house team brings your vision to life. Most projects are completed in a single day, but for larger or more intricate installs, we’ll keep you updated along the way.

If you’re home during installation, our team may ask about small decisions, like the placement of a valet bar or hook. Not home? No problem. Just finalize these details with your designer beforehand, and we’ll make sure everything comes together exactly as planned.

We treat your home with care, maintain a clean workspace, and respect your time. When we’re finished, the only thing left for you to do is fill your new space and fall in love with how organized and beautiful it feels.

Once your closet is complete, you’re free to load it up and make it your own. Need help or have a few questions after installation?
