Walk-in: requires square footage but holds 2-3x what a reach-in holds, allows seated dressing, dramatic visual presentation. Reach-in: works in existing closet space, doubles capacity vs builder-grade rod-and-shelf, much cheaper. We measure the existing closet, design a system that maximizes the space, and install in 1-2 days.

Reach-in: 1 day. Walk-in: 2-3 days. Garage cabinetry: 2-4 days. Material lead time 3-6 weeks before install. We measure the existing closet, design a system that maximizes the space, and install in 1-2 days. Material lead time is usually the longest part of the schedule, so approve the design early if you are working toward a move-in date or a holiday. Ask whether any wall repair, painting, or lighting work needs to happen before install day.
Yes. Common specialty features: pull-out shoe shelves (15-30 pairs each), tie/belt racks, jewelry drawers with felt lining, valet rods, hampers, ironing board flip-downs. The easiest way to decide which features to include is to take stock of what you own, such as counting shoes, belts, and watches, before the design meeting. That list lets the designer size drawers and shelves to your collection instead of guessing, which avoids wasted space.
Walk-in primary closets in Brevard benefit from a small HVAC supply or return to manage humidity. Often added during the closet project for $300-800. Enclosed walk-ins with no air movement can trap moisture, which in a humid climate can lead to musty odors and mildew on clothing and shoes. If your closet already feels stuffy or smells damp, mention it at the measure so airflow can be planned before the shelving goes in.
Yes - kitchen pantries are a major upgrade area. Pull-out shelves, baskets, jar storage, appliance garages. $1,500-6,000 typical. Before the design, note what you store most, such as small appliances, bulk goods, canned items, or baking supplies, and how often you reach for each. Frequently used items belong between waist and shoulder height, while pull-outs make deep lower shelves usable so nothing gets lost at the back.
Yes. Floor-to-ceiling garage cabinets, workbench setups, slat-wall systems for tool hanging. Heavy-duty hardware rated for garage use. Garages in Brevard get hot and humid, so ask which materials and finishes are used on the cabinet boxes and how they hold up compared with indoor closet materials. Plan the layout around where you park, how car doors swing, and which tools you use most so the cabinets do not get in the way of daily use.
Built-in: attaches to walls, looks integrated, can't be moved. Free-standing: portable, can take with you, slight visual gap to walls. Most Brevard clients prefer built-in. If you plan to stay in the home for years, built-in is usually the better fit because it can use the full wall height and corners. If you rent or expect to move soon, a free-standing system lets you take the investment with you.
White (most popular), warm wood tones (oak, walnut), gray, espresso, black. Two-tone designs (white + wood combination) trending in 2026. Pick a color with your bedroom flooring, door trim, and lighting in mind, since closet finishes look different under warm and cool bulbs. White reflects light and helps a small reach-in feel larger, while wood tones hide scuffs better in a busy walk-in. Ask to see physical samples in the actual room before you order.
Standard drawers: 16-21 inch wide, 12-18 inch deep, 4-12 inch tall. Specialty drawers (jewelry, deep storage) vary. Soft-close hardware standard. Closet islands ($1,500-6,000) provide drawer storage in the center plus a folding/jewelry surface. Slow-close drawer slides and door hinges prevent slamming.
Yes - common upgrade. Under-shelf LED strips, motion-activated entry lighting, sometimes display lighting in glass-front sections. $300-1,500 depending on extent. Reach-in: works in existing closet space, doubles capacity vs builder-grade rod-and-shelf, much cheaper. Often added during the closet project for $300-800.

Standard on all our systems. Slow-close drawer slides and door hinges prevent slamming. Adds quality feel. Standard drawers: 16-21 inch wide, 12-18 inch deep, 4-12 inch tall. When reviewing a design, check that drawer sizes fit your folded items and accessories so the depth and height match what you store. Soft-close hardware also reduces wear on drawer boxes and fronts over time because they are not slammed shut.
Lifetime warranty on most TFL and laminate materials from manufacturer. 2-year ELSO workmanship warranty on installation hardware and structural integrity. Ask for both warranties in writing and note what each covers, since the manufacturer warranty applies to the panels and finishes while the workmanship warranty applies to how the system was installed. Keep your invoice and material details in case you ever need to make a claim.
Empty the closet completely if possible - lets us see existing imperfections and walls. If you can't fully empty, we can work around contents. Reach-in: works in existing closet space, doubles capacity vs builder-grade rod-and-shelf, much cheaper. Also clear a path to the closet and point out any outlets, light switches, vents, or attic access panels inside it, since the design has to work around them.
Yes - adding a closet to a bedroom that lacks one, or converting a small bonus room into a walk-in closet. Includes framing and drywall in addition to the closet system itself. Ask whether lighting, an outlet, or an HVAC vent should be added while the walls are open, since that is easier than adding them after the drywall is finished. Also confirm the remaining floor space still works for your furniture once the new closet is framed in.
