Our entire experience with Closets for Life was a great one. Rick was easy to work with and gave great ideas for our garage storage. Corbin was an amazing installer! Had a crooked wall he had to work with and you'd never know looking at our completed shelving. Love the look and quality of the product. Communication, timeliness, end result all exceeded our expectations. Looking forward to adding to our garage storage next year.

Rick was great to work with. He came and measured the closets, quickly sent back design ideas for what we were looking for, made any changes to the designs that we asked for in a day or so, and was able to do all of the installation over the course of two mornings. They even worked around our kid’s nap schedule for installing. Rick and one other guy did all of the installation. It turned out exactly how I was hoping, gave us tons of storage, and looks great. The price came in at less than what California Closets quoted us for a similar design. Highly recommend!

Rick came out and did my measurements and sent the proposal very quickly. We were working around our Contractors dates to have this installed and we know that is a moving TARGET with delays. Rick worked with us on the Moving Target and the installer was amazing . He was so detailed and exact. The install is quick and the results are amazing. Highly Recommend Rick and his crew.

it went great! This was the second project that we hired Closets for Life on. The first was a built in desk and built out closet in my sons room. The large master suite closet is gorgeous! Priced well, great responsiveness, reasonable project schedule. I would hire Rick again!

Rick came over and looked at our closet system. Everyone else, who gave us a bid, wanted to remove the system and rebuild it. Rick suggested adding some shelving and modifying it a bit and changing the hardware. We appreciated his expertise and cost savings. Corbin, Rick’s installer, was very professional. Our old system was not level and was pulling out from the wall. Corbin leveled the system and reattached the unit to the wall. He was very neat, professional and safety conscience. We couldn’t be happier with the way the project turned out.

Working with Rick was a pleasure from the initial request for quote to final installation. Our new closet (versus the original closet layout) is perfectly suited to us thanks to Rick taking time to listen and assess our needs as well as his effective design work. It was also a pleasure to work with Corbin who did a majority of the installation. He, along with Rick, have high standards that show in the final results. Thank you both!

It was such a pleasure to work with Rick Lyrek and his Closets for Life team. They are professional, punctual and really listen to what you need. Rick took the time to review my ideas and then provided some great insights. I was impressed by the abundance of finishes to choose from and in the end I just couldn't be happier. I'm still moving everything in and now I find it's a room I really enjoy spending time in which wasn't the case before. Thank you Rick!

Needed to remodel my reach-in closet after the wire shelving came crashing down. After consulting with Rick I ended up having him do my wife's walk-in closet as well. Extremely happy with the result. Rick offered various custom designs and colors to fit our needs. His crew did both closets in the matter of one afternoon. They were very professional and mindful of my house while taking the time to install everything correctly. Aside from the high level of quality, Rick's prices were competitive. I'm considering using Closets for Life in the future to remodel my walk-in kitchen pantry. Highly recommend this company.

Great! Rick came up with a design that maximized the storage area in our closet. Once all the pieces were installed the space actually looked bigger. We put everything back in and I find I have empty shelves and drawers. I can finally walk in my closet and feel organized instead of stress.

We had Rick put new shelving in our master closet and had so much more room for clothes and accessories. He then redid both of our girls’ closets so they are nice and organized. I highly recommend Closets for Life.

Excellent! Rick came up with very innovative designs for maximizing our space. We love it! He was so helpful and responsive. He really took what we were looking for and made it come to life. He also had suggestions that we wouldn't even have thought of. My laundry room turned out exceptionally cool! I only wish we had more rooms to organize! Highly recommend Rick and team!

We called Closets For Life and received a phone call back within an hour. It is rare these days to have companies call you back so promptly. We had a master bedroom closet with wire shelves that was not using the space very efficiently. Rick was able to give us a 3D drawing to help us visualize how the closet could be designed. We are so pleased with the closet and would highly recommend Closets For Life. Very professional!

We are so happy with the work Closets for Life completed in our home! When we first moved in our home 5 years ago we had our master bedroom closet done and were so happy with it we hired them again to design our nursery closet! They took closets without anything in them and difficult layouts and made them both so functional and beautiful! They did great work, there were no surprises, and the work was completed in the time frame we were given. We will definitely use them again!!

Rick was great in helping us design a system that fit our needs. He listened closely to our issues and offered several helpful suggestions. The finished product is beautiful and fits our needs perfectly. It is sturdy and should last a lifetime. We are very pleased and only wish we would have installed a system much earlier. It was well worth the money. We have more than doubled our storage space with this new system. We would definitely Closets for Life again should we install another system.

Outstanding. This is the second project I have used Closets for Life on, and I'm sold as them being the best at what they do. Rick and his team have taken a 1950s rambler and made what would appear to be impossible solutions possible. From design, discussion of needs / wants and overall set up his team is professional, courteous and solve problems. I'll be using Rick and team in the future very soon (thanks again Rick!!!)
