Everything and everyone from initial consultation through install and follow up were professional, friendly, thorough, and timely. Install day was surprisingly quick and the designs Teresa Santos came up with were awesome and fit our needs perfectly. Thanks to everyone for making the process easy and the result beautiful.
We worked with Anthony, he is the best- thank you Anthony! Highly recommended!
This is the second time I have used California Closets to design and install my closet. I love their service and the quality of their products. My closet helps to keep me organized and definitely adds to the property value. I luv it!
My experience with California Closets was excellent. The designer, Angela B., was super creative, professional, very communicative, and mindful of our budget. She worked with us to customize exactly what we wanted with 3D renderings that showed us what our space could become. The units turned out spectacularly and…
We had a fantastic experience with California Closets, and especially with our designer Echo. We were coming off of a very negative experience working with another company, where we had struggled for weeks to work with their designer/rep to come up with a design we liked. Echo was a breath of fresh air -- fast,…
Our entire experience with California Closets was amazing! Jennifer Krueger, came to our home, measured and designed everything. We went with a home entertainment & closet setup, which we are so happy about. The crew, Luis Felix and Jorge Jimenez were excellent! They were very professional, and attention to detail…
Our experience with Jennifer was amazing! She helped us design our master closet and we are so incredibly happy with the outcome! She is so knowledgeable and precise, and worked closely with us to give us exactly what we were envisioning. We are so happy we went with Jennifer at California Closets!
If I could give 10 stars, I would!! First, I need to express how incredible our designer is - Lonna Swenson. It's almost as if she could read my mind. We were on the same wavelength for every aspect of this design - and I'm not easy, always looking and relooking. Lonna was so incredibly professional and patient…
We worked directly with Echo Li, Design Consultant at California Closets throughout the entire process. Echo’s design of all closets and our “flex” room including a wall bed was impeccable. The installation was flawless and we are 100% happy! Thank you Echo!
My experience with Kim from California Closets was positive from start to finish! Kim is professional and gave good feedback. I didn’t feel pushed or rushed. The installer also did a phenomenal job and I could see the pride he took in the work. Worth every penny!
When we found out we were having a second baby, we knew we were going to have to make the most of our apartment’s closet and storage space. We had an awkward reach-in closet that is now so much more user-friendly, especially for our older kid. Everyone who visits our home comments on how great the closet looks and…
As a Construction Management Company we use vendors that consistently provide professional service and outstanding product quality. Which is why we always call Wendy when we have a closet, office space and/or garage that needs done. Wendy and California Closets have consistently delivered to my clients a product and…
Lonna is a spectacular consultant! She took the time to get to know our needs and designed the perfect closet for us. We are more than happy with the finished closet. We love it!
Cara was amazing, she helped. me design my perfect closet. She was with me the whole process always available and always willing to go the extra seven find the answers I needed.
Kim was super professional and seeing the plans and layout was amazing. Other companies don’t give you cad drawings. This closet is life changing. Great quality. Ca closets came highly recommended and I also highly recommend. I recently redid my floors and I like that I could have the wall mounted closet that doesn’t go all the way to the floor.
We had a very positive experience, because of our Salesperson/Designer Wendy Bremmer. We needed to re-do our closet space in multiple rooms and design an office workroom for my husband. Wendy was very imaginative and a very good listener, taking our original ideas and developing them to be even more functional.…
Echo Li is our designer. She is on time and fast with putting our thoughts in 3D rendering, also giving us ideas for better functional design. And the installation team are polite, hard working/clean up after installation. It came out exactly like the 3D shows. We can’t be happier with our new closets!!! Thank you California Closets.
We had an excellent experience with California closets. The entire process was very efficient. Anthony listened to all the ideas that we had in mind and he exceeded all our expectations with our closet’s design. He was very professional and hard working.
I have worked with California Closets for multiple spaces in my home, and every experience has been stellar! My latest project was a garage makeover... turning a dark and dusty space into a work studio and storage area for our family's athletic, camping, and outdoor equipment. Our designer Alice Kempton,…
We worked with Echo Lee as designer for multiple closet projects from California closets. She has done an outstanding job and the quality of work has been excellent. I automatically call her everytime we have a new project. Wesley Moore
I received several plans for closet designs, but nothing could hold a candle to the one Melissa George created for me. It is stunning and so accessible. Melissa was able to create everything I wanted and needed after measuring the area and having a brief conversation with me. We had a total redo, but everyone is most impressed by my closet! Linda
Alice was INCREDIBLE! She was a delight to work with, helping us figure out designs for several projects. She was always very communicative about lead times, pricing and installation. We could not have been happier with the process and the finished product! Everything was well built and beautiful. I would very much…
Had a great experience with California closets and in particular, the installer Jesus Castillo. Great craftsmanship and care went into the installation process. Our designer, Kim Van Woesk nailed it.
Kim made the experience amazing. Starting with very detailed design. She then modified the configuration to fit our budget with out compromising the design. And the installation team was exceptionally professional and detail oriented. Truly an exceptional experience.
Love working with Katharine from CA -- she has been super helpful in terms of design, functionality, utility, and price!
If you're looking for a closet cabinet installer who is passionate about his craft, then look no further than Stephen. I recently had the pleasure of working with Stephen on a closet installation project, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, Stephen was a true professional. His commitment…
I recently converted a bedroom in my home to a home office. When it came to choosing a closet and cabinet company to design a closet and workspace, I enlisted the help of a company I'd used previously, California Closets Los Angeles. Wow, they delivered on all counts, again! Please let me explain... During the…
Really great experience with California Closets out of the Santa Monica location. Michelle Sipka, my designer, was patient (I changed my mind multiple times and took like 6 months to finalize my design) and fantastic every step of the way. She was able to make suggestions that fit within my budget and style…
We did a custom office closet and bedroom closet design & install, everything went smoothly, new closets/cabinets are working great, no complaints.
California Closets really pulled thru! There was a problem with my order and Alice was an incredible help not only in cleaning up my order but also providing top notch professional designing services, discounts, upgrades to offset the delays! Alice's experience and understanding of the product line really showed…
We worked with Kim and her team on a custom closet for our daughter's room. We couldn't be happier. The closet is incredible and Kim was so helpful and responsive. We will definitely work with California Closets again. Thank you!
Cara was our California Closet designer and coordinator. She was exceptional. I am a designer and my husband an architect. Cara had ideas about closet configuration and function we had not considered. She is tops and the installation crew was terrific -- great attention to detail. We are now using all closets and…
California Closets remodeled my home office. It turned out great! Amazing what a difference a functional space makes in productivity. Had a great experience with my designer Anthony Sizemore. Very happy with the communication, level of service and quality. Thank you!
We love love love our California closets! Perfectly designed to what we needed. The salesperson we worked with, Juliane, was extremely helpful and communicative for every step of the process. I would work with her a million times again, she was fantastic!
California Closets came through again! Megan was a fabulous designer and liaison with the installers. We were thrilled at how fast they were able to install and were extremely happy with the quality of the finished product! We will definitely use California Closets for all our custom closet solutions and would recommend them - and Megan - to anyone!
Katherine was excellent
Love my custom closet& wall-bed! My rep, Teresa, listened to what I wanted and designed the perfect space.
The rep who came to measure and design was great. He used no Hard Sell tactics and understood our budget restraints.The installer was equally professional and everything was done to our specifications. I''m very happy with them.
Had a great experience from beginning to end
Shout out to Jenna my designer and Daniel my installer. I cannot be happier with the whole process and outcome. I'm so glad I went with California Closets.
Great experience! Highly recommended
Our consultant Angela was fabulous and designed a new home office and closet system that is wonderful. The office is finally organized; everything is easy to find and in its place. The installation was simple, clean and done in 1 day. Everyone was professional and we are thrilled with the room. We will…
California Closets was the best contractor we used in our home remodel. They were completely professional, the work was great, they are up front with price and timeline. No complaints. It seems expensive up front, but honestly totally worth it. You pay for great quality and experience.
Kim was very helpful with the design of our closets! And the installation was was seamless
they did a wonderful job replacing my studio closet and shelves
Aliyah from Toronto did a superb job designing and coordinating the work for us. Will definitely be back, thanks Aliyah.
Great experience! Megan listened carefully to our ideas, came up with multiple options, and made sure the installation went smoothly.
