Custom closet questions from Apollo Beach homeowners.

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

Photograph the wire shelving to be removed, measure the aisle with drawers open and decide where swim and boat clothes go.

Measure the full opening and the part left clear by the doors, mark the track and note the heights of what you hang.

Photograph the garage as used, count life jackets, rods and coolers, and mark where the car doors open.

Note how wire shelves hold your jars, measure bulk packs and mark the door swing and the aisle width.

List the equipment, outlets and cord routes, and note the background you want for video calls.

Mark the machine door swing, note where wet towels dry and photograph visible plumbing lines.

Ask for the panel, surface, edge and hardware details and compare them with the sample. A color name by itself does not describe construction.

State what must be removed, which fittings stay and how the installer reaches the room, including old wire shelving. For a garage, say where the cars park. Ask which preparation tasks and trades are covered.

Ask for care information on the products actually supplied. Similar finishes can need different care, and an illustration does not identify a product.
