Custom closet questions for Fort Mill.

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

Say what the center drawers would hold, check the space on all sides and decide whether the top is for folding, outfit planning or display.

Measure the larger occasional items, note anything heavy to bring down and keep daily clothes at the easiest heights.

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

Measure the largest boxes and appliances, check how things come out and keep daily groceries easy to reach.

Note which items stay on the desk, which can be stored away and what must move if the room is shared.

List the garments that need hanging, how often the rail is used and how appliance and cabinet doors swing.

Ask for the panel, surface, edge and hardware details and compare them with a sample. A color name tells you nothing about how a cabinet is built.

Say what has to come out, which fittings stay and how the installer will reach the room. For a garage, include where the cars normally sit. Ask which preparation work and which trades are covered.

Ask for care instructions for the products that will be supplied. Finishes that look the same can need different care, and an illustration cannot identify a product.
