Custom closets for every kind of Montgomery County home
Montgomery County covers a long stretch of housing history. The borough centers, places like Lansdale, Ambler, Hatboro, Jenkintown and Conshohocken, grew up around rail lines, mills and main streets, so they hold older twins and single homes with small original closets. Townships such as Abington, Cheltenham and Upper Dublin filled in with stone colonials, Cape Cods and split-levels through the middle of the last century. Further out, townships around Montgomeryville and Collegeville added larger colonials and townhouse communities from the 1980s onward.
Each of those houses has a different storage problem, and a good closet design starts with that problem rather than a catalog layout.
| Home type | Common storage problem | Suggested design |
|---|---|---|
| Older borough twins and singles | Narrow, shallow reach-ins and sloped ceilings on upper floors | Double hanging, shelves to the ceiling, drawers inside the closet, wardrobe closets in rooms with no closet |
| Mid-century colonials, Capes and split-levels | One small reach-in per bedroom, crowded side entries, a tight kitchen | Reach-in systems, mudroom lockers by the door, pantry shelving |
| 1980s to 2000s colonials and townhouses | Walk-ins with a single rod and shelf, two-car garages with bare walls | Full walk-in systems with drawer towers, garage cabinets and slatwall |
Closets and storage we design and install
Walk-in closets
Many Montgomery County walk-ins were built with one rod and one shelf running around the room, which wastes most of the wall height. A custom walk-in closet in Montgomery County can add double hanging for shirts and pants, long hanging for dresses and coats, a drawer tower, shoe shelving and an island where the room is wide enough.
Reach-in and wardrobe closets
Reach-ins are where older homes lose the most space. Splitting the closet into double hanging, adjustable shelves and a small bank of drawers can often take the place of a dresser. For bedrooms with no closet at all, common in older twins and converted attic rooms, a built-in wardrobe closet gives you hanging and drawer storage in a cabinet sized to the wall.
Pantries, mudrooms and laundry rooms
Kitchens in mid-century homes rarely have a real pantry. We fit adjustable shelving and pull-outs into an existing closet or a corner of the kitchen. At the side or garage door, mudroom storage in Montgomery County usually means lockers or cubbies, a bench, hooks and a spot for shoes. Laundry rooms get cabinets, a folding surface and hanging space.
Garage storage
Two-car garages in the newer subdivisions have plenty of square footage and almost no storage. Our garage storage in Montgomery County includes tall cabinets, wall cabinets, workbenches and slatwall, which gets tools, sports gear and seasonal bins off the floor so the cars fit again.
Home offices, Murphy beds and built-ins
We also design home offices with desks, file drawers and shelving, Murphy beds for guest rooms that double as an office, and built-ins and entertainment centers for family rooms and finished basements.
Walk-in, reach-in or wardrobe: which closet fits your space?
Most homeowners start with a closet they already have, but the right system depends on its shape and size:
- Walk-in closet. If you can stand inside with room to turn around, you have a walk-in. Plan each wall for one job (hanging, drawers, shoes) and consider an island if the room is at least wide enough for drawers to open with space to pass.
- Reach-in closet. A closet you use from the doorway, usually two to three feet deep. The goal is to use full height and width: double hanging, shelves above and drawers inside.
- Wardrobe closet. A built-in cabinet for a room with no closet, or extra storage beside a small one. It holds hanging, shelves and drawers along one wall.
We help you decide at the free consultation after measuring the space.
Materials and options
Every system is designed for your space, so the parts list changes from job to job. These are the building blocks we work with:
- 3/4” furniture-grade boards
- Adjustable shelving so heights can change as your wardrobe changes
- Soft-close drawers, including jewelry drawers with dividers
- Hanging options: double hanging and long hanging
- Accessories such as shoe shelves, belt and tie racks, pull-out baskets, valet rods and built-in hampers
- Many finishes and hardware options to suit the room
Where we work in Montgomery County
We design closets in every corner of the county. In the North Penn area that includes the older borough homes of Lansdale and the newer subdivisions around Montgomeryville. On the eastern side, Abington and Jenkintown have some of the oldest closets we work in. In Whitpain Township, Blue Bell homes tend to have larger bedrooms and walk-ins, and along the Schuylkill, Conshohocken mixes old mill-town rowhomes with new townhouses and apartments. The list of every town we serve is further down this page.
How much does a custom closet cost in Montgomery County?
There is no single price, because no two closets are the same size or hold the same things. The main factors are:
- Size of the space, measured in linear feet of wall
- Mix of storage: drawers cost more than shelves, and shelves cost more than hanging
- Finish and hardware
- Accessories such as jewelry drawers, shoe shelving or an island
Our custom closet cost guide walks through how each choice affects the total. For your own closet, the free in-home estimate gives you a design and a written price for your space, with no obligation.
