Custom closet questions for Clearwater.

The layout, the products and the installation scope set the price. Ask for optional accessories and preparation work to be listed as separate items so you can compare them.

Measure the clear width, compare it with drawer depth, record each person's hanging and note which way the doors swing.

Photograph the opening with the panels slid aside, measure the closet depth and decide what visitors will use.

Note the floor level, list marine and beach gear, photograph the vehicle positions and check any condo rules.

Measure the aisle and containers, decide which food will be sealed and note the appliances that need outlets.

Photograph the room as used, show the window or balcony light and say what must lock away when you leave.

Measure the stacked machines, mark where beach gear dries and note where cleaning supplies are kept.

Ask for the panel, surface, edge and hardware specification and compare it with the sample. A color name alone does not describe construction.

Say what must be removed, which fittings stay and how the installer reaches the room, including elevators or stairs. For a garage, mention the floor level. Ask which preparation tasks and trades are covered.

Ask for care information for the products actually supplied. Similar finishes can need different care in damp air, and a picture does not identify the product.
