Storage That Fits What You Actually Own
What We Build
Every closet is made to the measurements of your room, in our own Burnaby shop. Nothing is cut down from a kit, so the system fits wall to wall and floor to ceiling instead of leaving a gap at one end.
Walk-ins, reach-ins, wardrobes, and the storage that never gets planned properly: the front hall, the laundry, the pantry, the mudroom off the garage.
Walk-In Closets
A walk-in only works if the layout matches what you own. Someone with forty pairs of shoes and someone with twenty suits need very different rooms, and a standard rod-and-shelf run serves neither well.
We plan around your actual wardrobe. Double hanging where the shirts go, full-height hanging for coats and dresses, drawer banks instead of a chest that eats floor space, shoe shelving sized to real shoes. Islands and seating where the room allows it.
Reach-In and Bedroom Closets
Most bedroom closets are a single rod with one shelf above it. That uses about half the available height and leaves the floor as a pile.
A reach-in system recovers the rest: double hanging on one side, drawers below, shelving to the ceiling for the things you touch twice a year. It is the smallest job we do and the one people notice every morning.
Short on space? Closet organizer designs for small bedrooms covers what works when the room is tight.
Beyond the Bedroom
The same cabinetry solves the parts of a house that usually go unplanned.
Front hall. Hooks, a bench, boot storage and a place for bags that is not the floor.
Mudroom. Off the garage, built for wet coats and sports gear. One of the most useful things you can add to a family home.
Laundry. Folding surface, hanging space, and cupboards sized to detergent rather than to nothing in particular.
Pantry. Pull-outs and shelving depths that let you see what you have. More ideas in hidden storage ideas that make small kitchens look bigger.
Built-in wardrobes and custom storage
A built-in is made for one wall in one room. The cabinetry is built in our Burnaby shop to the measured wall, then scribed on site so it meets the ceiling, floor and side walls without gaps, even where the house is out of square.
Built-in wardrobes and bedroom wall units. A full wall of hanging, drawers and shelving, with doors in the same style as the rest of the house. In a small bedroom one wall unit can replace a freestanding wardrobe and a dresser and take less floor.
Walk-in closets. Planned around what you own, with hanging, drawers and shoe storage sized to it. A spare bedroom, a bump-out or a wall of the primary bedroom can all become one.
Reach-in closets. The same cabinet construction fitted into the existing opening, using the height that a single rod and shelf leaves empty.
Entry, mudroom, pantry and laundry built-ins. Benches, cubbies, tall cupboards and pull-outs built to the space, in the same finish as the kitchen if you want them to match.
Built-ins or modular closet systems?
A modular system is assembled from standard sizes and filled out with trim where the sizes run short. It can work for a simple reach-in. A built-in is cabinetry. It is made to your wall, built the same way as our kitchens, and fitted by our own crew.
That also means the same warranty: 5 years on the cabinetry and a lifetime warranty on the hardware. A built-in is the better choice for an awkward wall, a full-height wall unit, or any closet that should look like part of the room.
The process is the same one we use for every project. The in-home measure is free. You get a quotation first, then the design phase with drawings and 3D renderings, and the quotation is adjusted until you are satisfied. Then we build it in our shop and our own team installs it.
Materials and Finishes
Closet systems use the same materials as our kitchen cabinetry, so a closet can match the rest of the house rather than looking like it was bought separately.
Melamine and laminate for hard-wearing interiors, thermofoil and painted MDF for a cleaner look, and real wood where it will be seen. Soft-close drawers throughout.

How It Works
1. In-home consultation. Free. We measure the space, look at what needs to go in it, and give you a price before you commit to anything.
2. Design. You see drawings and 3D renderings, and we adjust until the layout matches how you actually use the room.
3. Build. Made in our Burnaby shop to your measurements.
4. Install. Our own team fits it, usually in a day for a reach-in and longer for a full walk-in.

FAQs
How long does a closet take?
A reach-in is usually installed in a day once it is built. A full walk-in takes longer. From first measurement to installed, most closet projects run three to six weeks, which is quicker than a kitchen because there is no plumbing or tiling involved.
Do you charge for the design?
No. The in-home consultation and the design are free, and you get a price before you commit to anything.
Can a closet match my kitchen?
Yes. We build both, from the same materials and finishes, so a mudroom or laundry can carry the same door style and colour as the kitchen.
Is it covered by a warranty?
Yes. Closet systems are cabinetry, so they carry the same 5-year cabinetry warranty as our kitchens. Full warranty details.
Do you work outside Burnaby?
Yes, across Metro Vancouver. The shop is in Burnaby and we install throughout the region.
Is a built-in wardrobe better than a freestanding one?
A freestanding wardrobe leaves gaps at the sides and top and takes up floor space. A built-in runs wall to wall and floor to ceiling, so it holds more in the same room and looks like part of the house. It is cabinetry, so it carries the 5-year cabinetry warranty.
Can you fit a walk-in closet in a small bedroom?
Often, yes, if there is a spare corner, an adjoining wall or a neighbouring room to borrow from. We measure the space and show you the layout in drawings and 3D renderings before anything is built. If a walk-in would make the bedroom feel tight, we will show you a reach-in or a wall unit instead.
How long does a built-in closet project take?
Most closet projects run three to six weeks from first measurement to installed. A reach-in is usually installed in a day once it is built, and a full walk-in takes longer.
Can you match my existing cabinetry?
Yes. Closets, wardrobes and built-ins use the same materials and finishes as our kitchen cabinetry, so the door style and colour can carry through. If your existing cabinets were made elsewhere, we compare finishes at the free in-home measure and tell you how close we can get.
How much does a custom closet cost?
The price depends on size, layout, materials and finishes, so we quote each closet after a free in-home measure. You get a price before you commit to anything.
