We used them (out of Ocala) for three bedroom closets and were very satisfied. We had ideas about what we wanted and their design was what we were looking for. The installers were on time and fast. They are not the cheapest, but we are pleased with the result. We had previously used them in Illinois and liked their product. Only one criticism — after installation we wanted to buy a few additional shelves, and our designer has not returned our phone calls.

Consider one thing, remove the existing shelving and get closet painted before closet’s installed. You will be much happier, and the closet will look much better.

I couldn’t find a vendor that would come in one day and remove and mud and another day to install. If you want the walls freshly painted you have to coordinate removing existing closets, mud and paint yourself.

There were a few that claimed they would, until they came up with a scheduled install date, and then looked at me like I was crazy.

I had the same experience, they want a full day at a single job.

You could paint around the installed closet

They did our master closets and we were pleased with the results. Do remove old shelving, patch, and paint before they come though.

Default I used Closets By Design

I used them when I lived in Orlando and again when we moved to The Villages. I think I spent around $20,000,00. I was happy at the installation on both occasions. BUT ! When I needed 2 small doors replaced , I was quoted $450. I felt like this quote was to avoid warranty or the small job.. The employees treated me rudely when I questioned the price and size of the doors. We finally came to a price I was willing to pay. Then came the wait and I had to go to the Orlando area to pick them up and install them myself.
Lowes would have saved me hundreds on this job.

I personally will not use Closets By Design for anything again.

I interviewed 5 companies to help put together a plan for our garage since we have no basement. I chose Closets By Design because we liked working with Cheryl who was flexible and addressed all our concerns. We found a number of the others wanted to do essentially what they wanted to do or maybe worked best for them. We are very happy with the final design and look forward to the install on 3/1/22.
