Right from the initial consultation with Gen Potts I decided to proceed and get the closet done. Gen was extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly and helped me design a closet that works just great for us. The gentleman that installed the closet was also extremely friendly, professional, and created a closet we absolutely love. He even vacuumed the area and left it spotless. I was thrilled!

Was able to get estimate quickly; designer arrived at the agreed upon time and spent 3+ hours designing the closets; she wasn't pushy (trying to make a sale) and was in no hurry. Was able to schedule install the following week. Installer arrived on time, made minimal mess (and cleaned up what mess he made). Took the good part of 1 day to complete the install.

We are very satisfied with this whole procedure from start to finish. The finished product is top quality. I suspect we will use Closets by Design again in the future.
Description of Work: Nancy Ulmer, their designer, came to our house to give us an estimate for a closet system in our newly finished basement. This lady was a delight to work with. First of all she was very knowledgeable of their products. Second, she had many ideas and suggestions that made our system more functionable and attractive at the same time, all the while trying to keep us in line with our budget. And third, she was not overbearing, nor did she try to push us into the sale. Originaly we had scheduled two other companies to come out for estimates, but after our time with Ms. Ulmer we were so impressed with her presentation of her company and her expertise of design that we signed her contract on the spot. She then gave us an install date with a follow up phone call to confirm. Ron Plumstead, their installer, arrived on time the date of install. This man worked non stop from the time he stepped out of his truck until the entire system was put together, and he even cleaned up the area before he left. He even consulted with me several times to make sure it was being installed the way we wanted it to be. When I say he worked non stop, he arrived at 9:00 am and didn't leave until after 5:00 pm. Good job !!!!!!

The man doing the work showed up on time. However, after a short time he told me the shelves had been cut wrong and he had to get different ones. Those arrived later(I think). Then there was a problem with the bike rack(wrong one)and again he called and they brought the correct one. Then there was a problem with the one of the ladder racks that they couldn't correct at that time. They wanted me to pay for the balance on the install and I initially refused since the work was not finished(it was a $540 balance). I finally agreed to short pay $75 for the missing ladder rack. Someone called me about a week later and asked if I was ready for them to install the bike rack. I told them the bike rack was already installed, it was the ladder rack that was a problem. They said they would look into it. The work was done on 11/5 and I haven't heard back from them since. I probably should have refused to pay any of the balance due and I would have had better luck getting the job completed. I have since installed the missing ladder racks, so have no further need for their service. I was disappointed in the disorganization of the whole job. It took from around 9:30 in the morning until 3 or 4 in the afternoon to install two cabinets, two shelves, a bike rack and two ladder racks. I would think a job like that should take a couple of hours at the most.
Description of Work: We had two cabinets, two shelves, a bike rack and ladder racks installed in our garage.

Response from Closets By Design
THIS IS A CASE OF UNREASONABLE EXPECTATIONS ON THE PART OF THE CLIENT. WHILE CLOSETS BY DESIGN BENDS OVER BACKWARDS FOR CLIENTS..THERE ARE TIMES WHERE IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT WE DO..THE CLIENT WILL NOT BE SATISFIED. IT IS THE NATURE OF THE CUSTOM BUILD INDUSTRY WHERE THERE IS AN OCCASIONAL DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE CLIENTS EXPECTATIONS AND WHAT THE COMPANY HAS SOLD THE CLIENT, WHICH IS THE CASE HERE. PLEASE NOTE THAT OF EACH OF THE FIVE CATEGORIES, ONLY ONE WARRANTED A "D" WHILE THE REST WERE AN A, B AND C'S. AN OVERALL OF A "D" DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A FAIR OVERALL ASSESSMENT OR AVERAGE IN THIS CASE. BEING IN THE CUSTOM BUILD INDUSTRY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT EXACTLY HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO FINISH ANY PROJECT. HAVING DONE THIS FOR OVER 26 YEARS, WE KNOW THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "STANDARD INSTALLATION TIME FRAME". THE CLIENT BEING UPSET THAT IT TOOK 7 HOURS WHEN IN THEIR MIND IT SHOULD HAVE TAKEN ONLY 2 IS LUDICROUS. AS FAR AS THE LADDER RACK, NOTE ALSO THAT WE DID INSTALL A LADDER RACK..ONE THAT HOLDS THE VAST MAJORITY OF LADDERS OUT THERE. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, IT WASN'T ENOUGH TO HOLD THE LADDER. CLOSETS BY DESIGN DOES NOT MANUFACTURE LADDER RACKS..WE BUY THEM FROM A SUPPLIER..IF OUR SUPPLIERS DO NOT HAVE A LADDER RACK TO SUPPORT THE CLIENT'S LADDER, WE CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF WE CAN NOT FIND ONE THAT DOES. THAT IS ALSO THE REASON WHY WE HAVE NOT CHARGED THE CLIENT FOR THE LADDER RACK. NOTE THAT NOWHERE ELSE DOES THE CLIENT GIVE DETAILS, OTHER THAN WITH ONE LADDER RACK AS TO WHY WE HAVE RECEIVED A POOR MARK FOR THIS INSTALL. PLEASE READ OTHER COMMENTS AND REVIEWS WHICH DETAIL OUR PROFESSIONALISM IN CASES WHERE THE CLIENT IS NOT BEING UNREASONABLE.

They offered a coupon in the Angie's List booklet which took 50% off. This was a huge project and I saved a lot! This is the best deal out there. The designer, her name was Laurie Miles; she designed exactly what I was thinking. We do not have a coat closet so I brought up a few ides and the design was exactly on point. She also designed a basic coat closet and designed a closet for each of my children. She was able to custom design the shelving and extra shelving to accommodate everything to get it off the floor and it looks really good! The company has a large selection of textures and colors; Choices that you can pick from. We were able to pick something that was close to the wood grains and colors already in each room in our home. My husband got a built in desk and built in shelving. The desk top was really nice and they had many selections to choose from. Laurie custom designed my new home office. All of the stuff we did is going to be good for the re-sell value of our home.
Description of Work: Installed 4 closet systems and 1 home office (consisting of shelves and a built in desk).

We called Closet by Design and Laurie came out gave us suggestions and drew up plans. We were very impressed with her designs and decided to have the work done as soon as we had the closets cleaned and painted. When we were ready to install we called, they set up a date came out and installed. The installer was very precise and did an excellent job.

I'm very happy with how it looks. I work from my home 3 days a week, so I use it a lot. The designer, Janet Otten was great. I couldn't have done it without her. She took into account all my needs and desires. The installer, Kevin was very careful. (And he even gave me upgraded drawer fronts at no extra charge.)

The designer was an excellent "listener", measured carefully, observed contents, and then, while still at my house, drew a perfect design for all three closets. She was very personable, and in fact, asked me if I was a member of Angie's List and if so, I would get a 50% discount!!! I certainly was a member of Angie's List and appreciated greatly that she asked, otherwise, I wouldn't have known. The estimate was about average with the other two estimates but I was impressed by the quality of their materials. She scheduled the installation in a timely fashion. The installer was on time, efficient, personable, and asked me to inspect each closet as he finished to be sure it was the way I wanted it. Also, he was pleased that I restocked each closet as he finished it so that he knew for sure that I would be satisfied. When I discovered that I needed one more short shelf in one closet, he willingly created one with the materials in his truck. I couldn't be happier with the results.
Description of Work: Closets By Design designed and organized a hall closet, a bedroom closet, and a closet in our office. The designer carefully considered everything that I wanted to put in each of the closets. The installer followed the plan explicitly and when I realized that there was one more thing that I needed, i.e. an extra small shelf in one closet, he willingly created it for me. He also raised a rod in another closet that another company had incorrectly installed.

First, the design wasn't functional. The first designer and I designed it, but when it was put in, it didn't work. So Kevin, the head production guy, came out and he agreed and knew why it didn't work. So he redesigned it and reorder all the material -- desk top, bookshelves and had it all reinstalled. It came out great!

She was high pressuring. She wanted me to put a deposit down right then and there. I let her know that I was going to check with Angie's List. She wanted me to make a decision on the spot and go with them. They claimed to give 50% off, which made me question their starting price. I ended up choosing another company.

We received estimates from three different companies. The woman that came was very professional, pleasant, and experienced. We actually liked the products of this company the best, however, because their system goes to the floor we would have needed to delay the project because of new flooring that was going to go into the closet. Their estimated installation date was also three weeks out, whereas the other companies could do the install within one week.

Had two companies come out and give us estimates and Closets by Design gave a much better presentation and we felt had a better product. We altered the initial design and they worked with us 'til we were satisfied. They had some time constraints on the installation, but still found a way to fit us in when we needed it to be done. The quality of the work was very good. We are extremely happy with the experience and final product.

OUR OFFICE IS OPEN MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY 8 AM UNTIL 6:30 PM. WE ARE ALSO OPEN ON SATURDAY FROM 9 AM UNTIL 2 PM. WE HAVE NO RECORD OF ANY MESSAGE LEFT. THIS MEMBER GIVES NO DETAIL AS TO THE DAY, DATE AND TIME HIS MESSAGE WAS LEFT, OR WHAT HE WAS CALLING REGARDING. DUE TO THE HUNDREDS OF PHONE SOLICITATIONS WE GET ON A WEEKLY BASIS FOR THINGS LIKE ADVERTISING, PHONE SERVICES, CONSULTING SERVICES ETC., IF A POTENTIAL CLIENT DOES NOT LEAVE HIS/HER REASON FOR THE CALL, THE CALL IS NOT RETURNED. ALSO, WHILE OUR PHONE TECHNOLOGY IS QUITE SOPHISTICATED, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WHILE LEAVING A MESSAGE, IT WAS UNCLEAR AS TO THE RETURN PHONE NUMBER. A SIMPLE FOLLOW-UP CALL WOULD HAVE REMEDIED THE SITUATION.

Our salesperson/designer (Joan Adcock) was kindof clueless. We ended up correcting her design work for her because she kept making crazy mistakes. Our 2hr consultation, therefore, ended up lasting 4 hrs! The installer was fine. He corrected the things that I didn't like (marred/crooked base moulding). The problem was that the company didn't send him enough materials to finish the crown moulding job, but when I said I wasn't going to pay until it was all taken care of, he did what he had to to finish that evening (made some phone calls, stayed later). He also left us the leftover moulding so that we can make base moulding next to the shelving unit match. The entire installation took about 5 hrs. I love the shelving! Quality work. I would rate the overall experience A-/B+ (lower marks only because of the initial consultation taking soooo long due to mistakes and not initially having all the required materials).
