Custom closet questions for Brandon.

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

Photograph the builder shelving, record each person's hanging and folded items and show which way the door opens.

Photograph the opening with the doors pushed aside, note the clear width and say how the child's needs may change.

Park the cars as usual, list sports gear, bikes and pool supplies and mark the outlet for any second refrigerator.

Count lunch items and bulk packages, measure large pots and appliances and note the aisle if it is a walk-in.

Photograph the room as used, mark who sits where for homework and show what the camera sees behind the desk.

Count backpacks, note the wall by the garage door and measure the laundry room and machine door swing.

Ask for the panel, surface, edge and hardware specification and compare it with the sample. A color name alone does not describe construction.

Say what has to be removed, which fittings stay and how the installer reaches the room, including any stairs. In a garage, mention where the cars park. Ask which preparation tasks and trades are included.

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