Custom closet questions for Suwanee.

The price follows from the layout, the products and the installation scope. Request optional accessories and preparation work as separate lines so they can be compared. That makes it easier to see what each part adds to the total.

Have each person list their hanging, folded and shoe items, note who dresses when and keep the central aisle clear for both. Include a photo of the closet as it is now.

Find the longest garment now and later, count folded clothes and note which shelves must adjust as a child grows. Take a photo with the doors fully open.

Sort the equipment by user, measure the longest items, decide which bikes hang and measure with the cars parked. A photo of the garage in daily use helps too.

Measure your largest packages, group daily and occasional items and choose a shelf children can use. Photograph the shelves as they stand today.

List books, samples and files, photograph the guest bed in position and decide what the desk must clear for visitors. Add rough sizes for the desk wall.

List each person's bags and shoes, measure the largest bag and mark where damp towels will dry. Include a photo of the area around the washer and dryer.

Ask for the panel, surface, edge and hardware specification and compare it to a sample. A color name alone does not describe construction. Write down the names of any finishes you are comparing.

Say what must come out, which fittings stay and how the installer reaches the room. In a garage, note where cars park and where gear currently hangs. Ask which preparation tasks and trades are covered. Write all of this into the proposal.

Ask for care information for the products actually supplied. Finishes that look alike can need different care, and an illustration does not identify the product. Keep any written guidance for later.
