Measure & Design

Every project starts with your space and what you want it to do. Dustin takes detailed measurements of the area to ensure a precise fit, then uses SketchUp to plan the layout, dimensions, and details before construction begins. This gives you a visual representation of the finished project and an opportunity to review the design before it’s built.

How much do custom built-ins, closets, and storage projects cost?

Recent projects have ranged from around $900 for a standard mudroom built-in, to $2,000 for a custom kitchen island storage addition, $5,500 for a large entertainment center, and approximately $6,400 for a custom wardrobe.

Do I need to have plans or a design before contacting you?

Not at all. You don’t need to know exactly what you want before you reach out. Dustin can help you work through the layout, storage needs, dimensions, and design.

After seeing the space and taking measurements, he’ll create a custom virtual design to help bring the idea to life and make sure the finished built-in, closet, pantry, or storage solution works for your home.

Tell me more about the process- Do you measure and design custom closets, pantries, and built-ins? Then What?
