Question Custom closets - Recommendations?

I am planning on having the closets in my master bedroom (Lily) customized - simple with wooden shelves and rods. Any great service you can recommend (or ones I should avoid?) Thanks for any input you can provide, really appreciate it.

We bought closet organizers at Lowe's.

Busby's Closets 352-259-3330 - he did a great job, very reasonable, in and out in 2 hours and cleaned up and touched up paint if you have your sample paint cans.

Default good one

Call Tammie at Custom Home Closets 352-748-9181 Just had her over last week and looked at her showroom ( on 301 between 466 and 466A)
Great to work with and found her by someone else here on Talkofthevillages!
Good price, we hired her that day.

The best!

Busby did all our closets and we couldn't be happier.
Excellent work, a quality product and reasonable prices.

We had Tammy @ Custom Home Closets and agree she is great to work with and reasonable. She is a former TV real estate agent and knows the homes very well. They also do garage storage and garage/lanai flooring that is extremely durable. Limited lifetime warranty.

Custom Home Closets. They did our master bedroom closet and also a desk for our office. Great to work with and excellent workmanship!

We had Closets By Design do our "office" for us, very pleased with the work. Sales person listened to our needs and designed the layout right in front of us. This allowed us to tweak it as she was designing it. Installer was top notch too. 800-293-3744. Ask for Janet Lemmen, great sales lady and designer.

Another vote for Tammi at Custom Home Closets. She did out master bedroom closet for the same price as a similar do-it-yourself closet sold by Costco.

Our master closet is 8 1/2ft x 9 1/2ft. Anybody with a similar size closet? If so, mind sharing the price and who did it? If you don't want to post it, please feel free to PM me. Thanks!

And another vote for Tammie at Custom Home Closets 352-748-9181. She had good ideas and listed to what I wanted in my closets. I can't believe how much more storage and hanging room we now have. Their installer was really great too.

Default Closet design

Busby(352-259-3330) does excellent work, also Closets R Us(352-255-8975)-Juan and Virgina(husband/wife team)do excellent work, as well. Both have re worked all the closets in our house and had the best prices of 6 estimates...

seriously, the closets yourself. You will be happier and much richer. Unless of course, you are the type who feels compelled to show off their custom-made closets. I was that way until I found out how much they cost. I have wire ones. I did them myself. I think I might've liked to have mine custom-made wood but I am very satisfied. I just don't open the closets when I show off the house.
