Custom closet questions for Monroe.

Price depends on the layout, the products and the installation scope. Ask for optional accessories and preparation to be itemized, so you can compare them.

Decide what the center drawers would carry, check the room on all sides and settle whether the top is for folding, laying out outfits or display.

Photograph the closet with the doors moved to each end, compare drawer widths with the space left clear and note any tracks that limit depth.

Photograph the garage as used, with vehicles inside, mark space beside open car doors and compare cabinet depth with the walkway left.

Measure the largest pots and jars, check how things come out and keep daily groceries easy to reach.

Photograph any guest bed open, set aside guest storage and list the office items that have to move for a visitor.

Note the clothes that must hang, how often the rail is used and how the washer, dryer and cabinet doors open.

Ask for the panel, surface, edge and hardware details and compare them with a sample. A color name tells you nothing about construction.

Say what must be taken out, which fittings stay and how the installer will reach the room. For a garage, include where vehicles usually sit. Ask which preparation work and which trades are covered.

Ask how to care for the products that will really be supplied. Two finishes that look alike may need different cleaning, and an illustration cannot name the product.
