Custom closet questions for Davidson.

The layout, the products and the installation scope. Ask for optional accessories and preparation work to be listed on separate lines so that each can be compared.

Measure the room you plan to convert, record ceiling heights where it slopes and photograph windows and heating units.

Measure the clear depth and width, count short garments and note the wall material and any trim you wish to keep.

Measure the width with the car in place, count bicycles and note the route from the house on a wet day.

List what the present cabinets hold, measure tall containers and mark any wall or alcove that could take a tall unit.

Estimate the books you own, note the wall type and photograph the desk and any reading chair.

Measure the footprint, mark machine and door positions and count coats and bags that need hooks.

Request the panel, surface, edge and hardware details and match them to the sample. A color name does not describe the construction.

State what must be removed, which fittings remain and how the crew gets cabinets through narrow doors and halls. Ask which preparation tasks and trades are included.

Request the care instructions for the products actually supplied. Similar-looking finishes can need different care, and an illustration does not identify the product.
