Loving my new closet system. Megan did a great job giving me exactly what I was looking for and made suggestions that worked even better than what I first envisioned.

I have now worked with California closets on three projects over the past three months. They first customized two closets, then my laundry room, and finally my pantry. I couldn't be more pleased with the results! Kelsey is the best designer and really easy to work with throughout the design process. She is very creative and solved all my concerns. The installers were also fabulous. Two deserve special attention, Hunter, who worked on two of the projects, and Luke who did the laundry room. They were personable, respectful, and very dedicated to the work they completed. Overall, I highly recommend this company because of these great employees. Without them, just another company. Thanks Kelsey, Hunter, and Luke!
