Storage systems tend to fail in one specific, predictable way: someone loads them up, and the whole thing tears out of the wall because it was only ever held by a few drywall anchors. That closet rod that's already sagging in the middle under a winter's worth of coats is usually the first sign. Weight is the enemy, and the answer is anchoring into real framing. We locate the studs behind Boston plaster, hit them wherever the layout allows, and use proper heavy-duty anchors where we can't, so shelves loaded with winter coats or canned goods stay put and stay level.

Closet & Storage Systems FAQs

What determines the price of a closet or storage install?

Mostly the size of the system and what the wall behind it is made of — a small shelf-and-rod job is quoted at $100/hour, while a full walk-in system or a garage wall of shelving gets a free quote based on scope. Wall condition matters too, since plaster and old lath need different anchoring than a modern stud wall.

Will the shelves hold real weight?

Yes — anchored into framing wherever the layout allows, with proper heavy-duty anchors where it doesn't, so a shelf loaded with winter coats or a season's worth of canned goods stays level instead of slowly bowing in the middle.

Can you install a system I bought?

Yes — bring the kit and we'll mount it right, including anchoring it properly if it came with drywall anchors that were never going to hold real weight.

Wire or wood?

Wire is cheaper and airy; wood/melamine looks built-in — we'll advise based on the space and what you're storing.

How long does a closet system install take?

A single reach-in with shelving and a rod is usually a same-day job. A full walk-in system, a pantry wall, or garage storage takes longer depending on how much needs to be built and anchored — we'll give you a real timeframe with the quote.
