Custom closet questions for Cornelius.

By the layout, the products and the installation scope. Ask for optional accessories and preparation work to be listed separately so each can be weighed.

Sort your clothing by season, measure luggage and note where sunlight enters and whether air can circulate.

Measure the clear width of the opening, count short garments for double hanging and note any wall you share with a neighbor.

List the lake gear, note where wet items dry and measure long pieces such as paddles, rods and boards.

Note your usual hosting load, measure large platters and decide which snacks and drinks need a grab-and-go shelf.

Mark the window wall, photograph glare at different hours and list any guest use of the room.

Trace the route from the door to the washer, count the wet items that come in and note the flooring.

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

Describe what must be removed, which fittings remain and how the installer reaches the room, including stairs, elevators or shared entrances. Ask which preparation tasks and trades are covered.

Ask for care information for the products actually supplied. Finishes that look similar can need different care, and an illustration does not identify the product.
