Storage is the most contained upgrade a Charlotte home can get: no plumbing, rarely a permit, usually a single install day. It is also where most homes are furthest behind, because builder-grade closets were never designed for the way people actually dress.

Custom Closets in Charlotte: A Planning Guide for Homeowners

How to plan a custom closet project in a Charlotte home before requesting quotes: inventory, layout, drawers, finish, installation scope and who to call.

Project types

Walk-In Closets

A walk-in closet is a room-sized closet you enter, usually with storage on two or three walls and a walkway in the middle.

Storage on multiple walls
Islands or benches in larger rooms
Long-hang, double-hang and shelving zones

Reach-In Closets

A reach-in closet is the standard bedroom or hallway closet: a shallow box, typically about 24 inches deep, accessed through a door.

Double-hang sections that add a second rod
Shelf towers with adjustable shelves
Drawers within the closet

Built-In Storage

Built-in storage is cabinetry or shelving fitted to a wall, alcove or room feature: bookcases flanking a fireplace, window seats with drawers, entertainment walls, or under-stair storage.

Floor-to-ceiling shelving
Base cabinets with doors or drawers
Window seats and benches
