California Closets

We had used California Closets in 2006 to transform our master bedroom closet in our condo, upon the recommendation of a good friend who had used them. We were so happy with the work they did for us then that when we bought our new home, we called them again. We had them do both a custom master bedroom closet and a custom walk-in kitchen pantry for us.

Our salesperson and designer visited us and we showed her the spaces, talked how we'd like to use them and she threw out some great ideas we hadn't thought of. Afterwards she went back and did some fantastic computer designs of what she was proposing. We tweaked a few things together and agreed on pricing. The installer Dean then showed up to take all measurements. Afterwards, everything was pre-made and pre-cut exactly for our space so that the install would go quickly and not create much mess.

Since we had just moved in, we were warned ahead of time the raised panel drawers we wanted would take a few weeks. To accomodate us and so we didn't have to live out of boxes for weeks, they did the install of everything about a week later, except for putting in the actual drawers. Dean returned a few weeks later to put the drawers in. That was great of them to accomodate us like that.

The master bedroom closet is about 6 feet wide and a little over 12 feet long. They turned it into a fantastic multi-functional space, with 3 different height hanging spaces, 8 fancy and very sturdy drawers and lots of shelving (including slide out tie and belt racks). We added a sitting cube, hung a mirror and now call it our dressing room. The closet is so perfect that we were able to move our dressers to our second bedroom instead of having to purchase new and we have no dressers in our bedroom with plenty of space for all our clothing (and even a little room to add).

We are just as happy with the pantry. Previously it was an ugly 6x6 cube with two long, sagging shelves. We now have lots of fantastic adjustable shelving and a sliding storage basket. They even hid an ugly HVAC vent that ran along the floor.

This work was done in October 2009 and 2.5 years later, everything still looks new like the day it was installed. They used high quality, durable materials and the installation was great. We are very happy with all aspects of this work and would recommend California Closets to anyone.

We had gotten numerous quotes just for comparison, even through we were already biased towards California Closets based on past personal experience. Even after negotiating the price down a bit, they still were not our cheapest quote, but were reasonable and we decided to go with them afterall because we knew what we'd be getting. Have not regretted that for a moment and will use them again.
