Process Questions
Do I need to empty my closet before the consultation?
No. We prefer to see how you’re currently using the space—it helps us design a better solution.
Can I make changes after approving the design?
Minor adjustments can usually be accommodated. Significant changes may affect timeline and pricing.
Do I need to be home during installation?
We prefer you’re available at the start and end, but you don’t need to be present the entire time.
What if I’m not satisfied with the final result?
Your satisfaction is guaranteed. We’ll make it right.
