Custom closet questions for Atlanta.

The layout, the products and the installation scope decide the price. Ask for optional accessories and preparation work to be listed separately so you can compare them.

List what the central drawers would hold, check clearance on every side, and decide whether the top is for folding, laying out outfits or display.

Photograph the opening with each door panel fully aside, compare drawer widths with the clear opening and note any tracks that limit depth.

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

Measure the largest trays and platters, check how items come out, and keep daily groceries within easy reach.

Photograph a guest bed in its open position, set aside guest storage and list the office items that must move for a visitor.

List the garments to hang, say how often the rail is used and check the swing of appliance and cabinet doors.

Ask for the panel, surface, edge and hardware specification, and compare it with the sample. A color name alone says nothing about construction.

Say what must be removed, which fittings stay and how the installer reaches the room. In a garage, include where the cars normally park. Ask which preparation tasks and which trades are covered.

Ask for care information for the products actually supplied. Similar finishes may need different care, and an illustration does not identify a product.
