Questions and Answers

Phoenix Custom Closet FAQ

Common questions about design, materials, permits and what install day looks like.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a custom closet in Phoenix?

Usually not for the closet system itself, since it mounts to your existing walls. The City of Phoenix does require permits for electrical updates and rewiring, and its exemption guide says replacing whole drywall sheets needs one too. We check your plan against both before work starts.

How long does a custom closet take?

Design and measuring take a visit or two. Panels are cut to your drawing after you approve it, and a typical reach-in installs in a day. Large walk-ins and garages can take longer, and your proposal lists the install days.

What's the difference between a custom closet and a store-bought kit?

A kit comes in fixed widths, so you fill the gaps with filler or leave dead space. A custom closet is cut to your measurements, with each section sized for what hangs or folds there.

Can you work with sloped ceilings, soffits or odd corners?

Yes. Older Phoenix homes and newer hillside houses both have closets with angles, and panels can be cut to follow them.

Which parts of Phoenix do you work in?

Homes across the City of Phoenix, including Biltmore, Moon Valley, Coronado, Willo, Sunnyslope and Tramonto.

Do closet systems hold up in a hot Phoenix garage?

Garage cabinets should be built for heat and dust, with sealed panels and sturdy hardware. We spec garage materials separately from indoor closet materials for that reason.

Can you reuse my existing closet doors?

Often, yes. We measure the door opening and make sure drawers and pull-outs clear the doors before the design is final.

Do I have to empty the closet before you install?

It helps, but we can work around you. Most people box up the contents the night before so the crew can start right away.

Can you add lighting inside a closet?

Yes. Battery or plug-in LED strips need no new wiring. A hardwired fixture or new circuit is electrical work, and the City of Phoenix lists electrical updates as work that needs a permit.
