Closets For Less designs and installs custom closets and closet systems in Plymouth Meeting, PA. We work in single homes, townhomes and condos, measuring each closet and designing shelves, drawers and hanging space that fit it exactly. Our own team installs every system. The design consultation and estimate are free, and we have been in business since 2007.
Closets for Plymouth Meeting homes, townhomes and condos
Plymouth Meeting spans parts of Plymouth and Whitemarsh townships, around the historic crossroads village that gave it its name. Today it is a mix of housing types: mid-century single homes on quiet streets, and a large number of townhomes, condos and apartments near the shopping center and the highway interchanges.
That mix shapes what each home needs. Single homes usually need their bedroom and primary closets rebuilt. Townhomes and condos have fewer closets, so every one has to work harder, and spare rooms often have to serve two purposes.
Closet organizers for condos and townhomes
In a condo or townhome, the closets are usually standard reach-ins with a single rod and a wire shelf. Replacing that with a fitted system is the quickest way to gain storage without more square footage. Our usual reach-in layout includes:
- Double hanging on one or both sides for shirts and pants
- A short run of long hanging sized to your longest items
- A drawer stack so folded clothes leave the dresser
- Adjustable shelves above the rods to the ceiling
- Shoe shelving at the bottom
All of it is built from 3/4” furniture-grade boards, with options including adjustable shelving and soft-close drawers. See our reach-in closets page for finished examples, or our tips on how to maximize closet space with little hanging room.
Closets in older homes near the historic village
Around the old crossroads at the center of Plymouth Meeting, a number of homes are much older than the townhome communities nearby. Older houses often have closets added long after they were built: narrow, shallow, tucked under stairs or into corners. Those are the closets where a custom design helps most, because nothing about them is standard. We measure every wall, note where the depth changes, and design shelving, drawers and hanging only where each one fits. A closet under the stairs, for example, can take stepped shelving that follows the slope, with deeper storage at the tall end and shallow shelves at the low end.
Spare rooms that do two jobs
A second bedroom in a townhome is often a guest room, an office and a storage room all at once. A Murphy bed folds into a wall cabinet so the floor is free most of the time, and we can build shelving or a desk around it. A closet in that room can be fitted with shelves and file drawers instead of hanging space, so it holds office supplies and paperwork.
Walk-in closets in Plymouth Meeting single homes
In the single homes, the primary closet is often big enough for more than it holds. We plan towers along each wall, a drawer bank, a shoe wall and, where there is room, an island. In an entry or side door, a mudroom bench with cubbies and hooks keeps coats and bags in one place.
Pantries and garages
Kitchens in many Plymouth Meeting homes have a narrow pantry closet. Shallow adjustable shelves and pull-out baskets keep everything visible. In condos without a pantry at all, a tall cabinet with adjustable shelves can stand in for one. Garages get wall cabinets, a workbench and slatwall so bikes, tools and seasonal items come off the floor. In a townhome with a one-car garage, the walls are the only spare storage, so tall cabinets and slatwall with hooks and baskets do most of the work while leaving room for the car.
Cost and next steps
