Description of Work: The closet guy (Bob Farrell) came out, took measurements and sent me a design 3 days later. The design was incomplete and I had questions so I emailed him. No response. I called him. He said he'd get right back to me within 30 minutes. 5 days later, no response. I had another closet company come and they identified issues that Boston Closet never noticed. I would not recommend Boston Closet. Non-responsiveness is a very bad sign.

Description of Work: I set up a request for a free in-home estimate online. I received an email stating I would receive a call within 24 hours. The call never came. It has been 2 weeks and no contact from Boston Closet. The lack of attention to the appointment to start the work and several other reviews gave me great concerns about continuing with this vendor.

I emailed the company the first week in September. They promptly got back to me in a day or two and we scheduled an appointment for the following week. They called me and said they had a conflict and we rescheduled for the following week. That morning came and they called and canceled again. At that point I lost interest. I had a small job and I was suspicious that I was getting bumped for bigger jobs. They left me a message that the following Tuesday was available. I never called or wrote back to confirm and I never would have because I had to work the night shift that day and would be sleeping Tuesday. They showed up anyway assuming it would be okay. I was woke from a dead sleep and NOT happy about it. I did not answer the door. Later that day I received a voice stating if I was interested I could measure my own closets and send them the measurements and they would send me a design and price. I had another company coming the next week who came as scheduled on time and gave me a great price. I went with them and I'm very happy with the results.
Description of Work: Rescheduled my appointment twice, then just showed up when it was convenient for them without confirmation from me.

We contacted Boston Closets to get a quote on doing up the closets in all the bedrooms in our house. Initially, the response was good: Dave showed up to take a look, sent us a quote and a good design as promised and then just completely vanished. I kept emailing him asking him to send me an updated quote and design so I could compare with the others and make a final decision but he never did. I still haven't heard back from him after 6 weeks and in that time we decided to go with Closet Craft who were very professional, responsive, gave us a great quote with the best design and fit us into their busy schedule so that our closets were installed 3 weeks after the first appointment. Its a shame this company isn't more responsive and professional because their designs and quotes were competitive.
Description of Work: Came and gave us an initial design and quote for doing the closets in our house and then just didn't follow up, despite many emails from our end.

Despite the fact that our designer recommended this company, they were frustrating to deal with. Initially I left a voice message telling them that our designer recommended them and we would like a quote for a custom closet installation. No exaggeration, I called them four times. Once I actually spoke to a person who told me he was busy on the other line and that he would call right back....he never did. Another time I got a voice message and same thing....NEVER called back. Finally our designer got in touch with them. They never even came out to see the site, they did the design from room drawings. The plan was fine and the price was OK but we were so turned off at that point. We ended up using a local company (Plymouth Custom Closets) and were more than pleased with their work and price. Happy to do business with a more entreprenureal and responsive business.
Description of Work: We contacted them repeatedly to get a quote on custom closets

I liked working with Steve. He listened, suggested, was prompt with plans and with revision plans, and the whole project was done and installed in a very timely fashion.
Description of Work: Design, build, and install a large bank of drawers and a window seat with drawers in a walk-in closet. Both in initial design consultations, and the tweaks as a result of seeing and measuring the space were very helpful.

Description of Work: We had 4 closets customized in one day. They arrived on time and on the date arranged. They worked with my schedule and completed the order in a timely manner. They listened to my needs for each storage space and maximized my storage space in each closet. I would use them again as they were proceed competitively and were very responsive to my requests.

The were quick to respond, estimate was timely. Finished product was excellent and design was nice. The fix the closet and there are not issues with the rack. I am pleased with the workmanship. The have resolved the problem in a timely manner.
Description of Work: I had a closet redone, they were able to do it within a two week time frame. There is something going wrong with the closet that I need fixed and It has been a week before the company is getting back to me so I can resolve the issue with one of the racks. Otherwise I have been satisfied with the closet but time will tell if it stands up to the test.

Not only were they the best quote of three, they also gave us the best design for a somewhat awkwardly shaped master bedroom closet. We needed the closet to be done immeidtaely becuase we had just moved and were living out of suitcases. They scheduled us within one week of the quote. (the other 2 quotes had wait times up to 6-8 weeks and/or most materials out of stock) They did the work in a very timely fashion and cleaned the place before leaving. They had to come back to install the front face of the drawers because the parts were out of stock but did so in a few weeks. When they came back we even asked for them to do more work. Overall, an excellent experience.
Description of Work: They designed and installed our master bedroom closet with shelving, rods, and drawers and provided shelving to three other closets.

They finished the work in a timely fashion. We were having a party at that time and everything was out of my closet. They were here within a couple of weeks and were able to install everything. They did a great job. She came up with the cleverest idea to try to squeeze such a long hand space in my closet. I had three vendors dome with designs and she was the best. Everything went smoothly and I had no trouble.

Dave came promptly after my call and took measurements and made suggestions. I had a written estimate and sketch in a few days. There were a few changes/adjustments to the measurements which I sent to him and had a revised plan in a few more days. Installation was set up for a week later. Leno came to do the installation right on time. He covered everything with drop cloths and worked quietly. I noticed an issue with the location of a light fixture. Without any complaint, he removed what he had hung, made an adjustment and rehung it. When he was finished, all the surfaced were cleaned and he vacuumed the area.

Overall it went very well. Installer arrived early and the installation was finished in less than 2 hours. Final price matched the quote. They forgot one piece but when I asked about it he said he had the part in his truck. He went out, got it and installed it.

Excellent experience from start to finish, again. Dawne Kenney of Boston Closets called me a few weeks after installing a full custom closet for one bedroom and said there was "an October special." Our only need at the time was for 2 kids closets--both kids were jealous of the other kid's new closet. Dawne customized the designs for a 13-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy. Both work very well given the odd spaces of the closets. In all, the experience was exactly as promised and expected regarding timing, quality, and price. (Despite hideous traffic, the installer was in the driveway 5 minutes early!).
Description of Work: Boston Closet installed custom shelves and hanging space in two kids' closets within 10 days of meeting with me. They understood the challenges of both closets--one is small, the second still has horse hair plaster walls. They dealt with both and gave us expert advice on how to prepare the walls most easily. Based on that conversation, they modified their design and further customized the mounting system to allow for some "historic" trim.

Excellent experience from start to finish, and it was fast. I invited three companies to meet with me, recommend a design, and provide a quotation. Dawne Kenney of Boston Closets was the best, by far. She knows the industry (including the other players, though she took great pains to be factual and complementary) and converted my description of my son and how he uses space into a great design that maximized the use of the space. Their price was 9-15% lower than the competition, using equal or better materials (thickness) and then she threw in one extra drawer and an extra shelf. She scheduled installation within 10 days of us placing the order, whereas others expected installation to happen in 2-3 weeks or more. Installation was done by a delightful guy in about 4 hours. The closet is fabulous, and I know this because my son uses it and is able to keep his room entirely presentable very easily.

Steve was great to work with. Extremely courteous and reliable. He was also extremely patient - which we appreciated because there were a lot of moving parts to the project (we had some demolition and construction done to make the bedroom closet bigger). The staff we worked with were also very knowledgeable about the products they carry. I do think they could improve their showroom a bit in order to give potential customers a professional sense of what the end result can look like.
Description of Work: In-home consultation to discuss creating custom closet solutions for one bedroom and one hall closet. Based on the consultation, Steve from Boston Closets drew up a plan and gave us an estimate. The original design was more than twice the final price because it included a lot of built-in closet solutions (but still significantly less than our quote from another company). In order to save money, we changed the design and Steve was super at working with us as the parameters of the project changed. Once the final design was decided on, materials were ordered and installation was completed in one day - just as promised.
