Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom closet system cost in Calgary?
Custom closet costs in Calgary depend on size and features. A reach-in closet upgrade typically ranges from $2,000-$5,000, while a full walk-in closet system runs $6,000-$20,000+ depending on size, drawer systems, islands, and lighting. We provide detailed, itemized quotes after assessing your space.
Can you work with existing closet spaces?
Yes—we specialize in maximizing existing spaces. Our custom approach means we design around your exact dimensions, awkward corners, and sloped ceilings. No wasted space, no filler pieces.
What materials do you use for mudroom and garage cabinets?
For high-traffic and potentially damp areas, we use moisture-resistant materials—melamine, thermally fused laminates, and marine-grade plywood. These materials handle Calgary’s seasonal conditions (snow melt, humidity swings) and everyday wear.
How long does a storage project take?
Most storage projects in Calgary take 4 to 8 weeks from design approval to installation. Smaller closet projects may be faster (4-5 weeks); larger garage or whole-home storage projects take longer (6-8 weeks). Installation typically requires 1-2 days.
Do you build custom mudrooms for Calgary's climate?
Absolutely—Calgary’s four-season weather is exactly why custom mudrooms matter. We design for bulky winter gear, ventilated boot storage to handle snow melt, durable finishes, and dedicated space for sports equipment. Off-the-shelf solutions rarely accommodate Calgary winters.
Can you add electrical for closet lighting?
We coordinate with licensed Calgary electricians for lighting integration—LED strips, puck lights, motion-activated systems, and outlet installation. Proper closet lighting transforms the functionality of any wardrobe system.
