Cost & Value
How much does a custom closet cost in Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley?
Pricing depends on size, materials and features, but most reach-in closet conversions start in the low thousands, while larger walk-in or whole-home storage projects run several times that. Every project begins with a free in-home consultation and a written, itemized quote, so you know the exact cost before any work is scheduled — no vague estimates.
Book your free consultationIs a custom closet actually worth it compared to a ready-made kit?
A ready-made kit can look similar in a showroom, but it rarely accounts for your room's exact dimensions, door swings, or how you organize your wardrobe. A custom system uses every inch of available space, holds up to daily use far longer thanks to quality materials and Blum® hardware, and is built once — correctly — instead of pieced together from a box.
See our walk-in closet serviceDoes a custom closet add resale value to my home?
Well-organized, professionally built storage is consistently one of the features buyers notice and appreciate during a showing. We can't promise a specific dollar return, but a tidy, custom-fitted closet or pantry photographs well and signals a home that's been cared for — something Fraser Valley realtors regularly point to as a plus.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We offer financing options so your project fits your budget and timeline rather than the other way around. Ask your designer about current options during your free consultation.

Is the in-home consultation really free?
Yes — completely free and with no obligation. A designer visits your home, measures the space, and talks through your options. You're welcome to take that information and think it over; there's no pressure to sign anything on the spot.
See our full processHow long does it take from consultation to installation?
Most projects run 4–8 weeks from your first consultation to the final walkthrough: about a week for your 3D design and quote, then 2–4 weeks for local manufacturing in our Chilliwack shop, followed by installation. We'll give you a specific estimate in writing once your design is approved.
Read the step-by-step timelineDo I need to be home during installation?
You don't need to be present for the entire install, but we do ask that someone can provide access and be available at the start and end of the day. Many clients simply arrange access and return once our crew confirms the work is complete.
How long does installation itself take?
A single reach-in or walk-in closet typically installs in a day. Larger whole-home projects covering multiple rooms — closets, pantry, garage, mudroom — may take two to three days. We confirm the schedule when your quote is approved.
Materials & Design
What's the difference between a reach-in and a walk-in closet?
A reach-in closet is a standard closet accessed through an open doorway, usually organized with a single or double hanging system and shelving. A walk-in closet is a dedicated room you step into, with space to add islands, seating, full-length mirrors and more elaborate organization. We design both to maximize the space you actually have.
Compare reach-in vs. walk-in optionsWhat materials do you use — melamine, TFL, or solid wood?
We build primarily with quality TFL (thermally fused laminate) and melamine panels, chosen for their durability, moisture resistance and consistent finish — materials that hold up to daily use far better than raw particle board. Wood accents and trims can be incorporated for a custom look wherever it suits your design.
What hardware do you use for drawers and doors?
Every drawer and door runs on Blum® soft-close hinges and drawer runners — premium European hardware known for smooth, quiet operation that lasts. It's a noticeable upgrade over the standard hardware used in many off-the-shelf systems.

DIY kits can work for a simple, symmetrical space on a tight budget, but most homeowners find that awkward corners, sloped ceilings or odd door swings make a store-bought kit frustrating to install and rarely a perfect fit. A professional design accounts for those quirks from the start, and our installation crew guarantees a level, secure, properly finished result.
Warranty & Service
What warranty comes with a Closets Plus project?
Every project includes a written lifetime workmanship warranty covering our craftsmanship and installation — a commitment many competitors won't put in writing. Hardware components like Blum® hinges and runners carry their own manufacturer warranties as well.

See our full service areaWhat's the difference between a "closet" and a "wardrobe" system?
In everyday use the terms are often interchangeable — both describe a space for storing clothing. "Wardrobe" sometimes refers to a freestanding piece of furniture, while "closet" typically describes a space built into the room itself. All of our systems are custom-built into your space rather than freestanding, for a permanent, seamless fit.
