Custom closet questions from Celebration homeowners.

A custom quote is built from the layout, the products and the installation scope. Ask for optional accessories and preparation work to be listed separately.

Mark where you would stand to see a whole outfit. Check which cabinet openings sit near the mirror. Photograph switches, trim and anything else the mirror must avoid.

List the clothing each person wears daily. Decide where linens or occasional items go. Keep the busiest sections clear of door obstructions.

Measure bins with handles out and lids closed. Leave room to carry a container through the opening. Describe what goes on each shelf and how often it is handled.

Choose the job the counter must do. List what will stay on the surface. Check the standing space in front of it.

List each person's screens and accessories. Check both chair positions together. Decide which compartments are shared and which are individual.

List the shoes worn most often. Include boots and bulky footwear. Decide where occasional pairs will be kept.

Ask for the panel, surface, edge and hardware specification, then compare it with the sample; a color name alone does not describe how a cabinet is built.

List what must be removed, which fittings stay and how the installers reach the work area. For a garage wall, include where vehicles and equipment sit during the work. Ask which preparation and separate trades are covered.

Ask for care information on the products actually supplied. Finishes that look alike can need different care, and a picture does not identify the product.
