Custom closet questions for Stallings.

The price comes from the cabinet layout, the products chosen and the installation work required. Ask for accessories and preparation to be itemized on their own lines, so each can be compared.

List what the central drawers would hold, measure the walkway on every side, count each person's hanging length and note the door width.

Photograph the opening with the doors fully open, note any tracks and hinges, compare drawer widths with the clear opening and list who uses the closet.

Photograph the garage with both cars parked, list the sports gear and bikes, note cracks in the slab and mark the route to the house.

Measure the largest bulk packs, note how deep the corner is, photograph the shelf fixings and keep daily food at reach.

Photograph the room from the front door, include the chair, record outlet positions and list what should close away behind doors.

Count the people using the entry, mark the appliance doors, list the sports gear and photograph visible pipes.

Have the core material, surface, edge and hardware written down and compare them with the sample you were shown. A color name alone does not describe how a cabinet is made.

Tell the provider what must come out, what stays, and how panels will reach the room, including stairs. For a garage, mention where both vehicles normally park. Ask which preparation jobs and trades the quote covers.

Once products are chosen, ask for the care instructions for those exact items. Finishes that look alike can need different cleaning, and a gallery image cannot identify a product.
