Every closet we build starts with a tape measure in your home, not a catalogue. Standard closet kits are made for a room that doesn’t exist — a perfect rectangle with square corners and no ductwork. Real bedrooms have a slope over the stairs, a radiator in the wrong place, a door that swings into the only wall worth using. That is the part we design around, and it is the reason a built-to-measure closet holds roughly a third more than an off-the-shelf system in the same footprint.
A real ARV project — fitted millwork, floor to ceiling
We design, build and install everything ourselves from our workshop on Finch Avenue West in North York. No subcontractors, no handoffs, no one blaming the other trade.
Custom closets start at $950. That figure is a real starting point for a reach-in closet with shelving, hanging rails and a finished interior — not a teaser number that disappears once you ask a question.
Your quote is itemized line by line: carcass, doors, drawers, rails, lighting, hardware, delivery, installation. If you want to remove the LED strip or downgrade the drawer runners to bring the number down, you can see exactly what that saves. We would rather you understand the price than be surprised by it.
Reach-in closets. The standard bedroom closet, rebuilt properly. Double hanging where it makes sense, adjustable shelving above, drawers instead of a floor full of shoes. Sliding or hinged doors, or open if you prefer.
Walk-in closets. Full-height systems with a mix of hanging heights, drawer banks, shoe shelving and glass-front sections. Lighting integrated into the shelving rather than a bulb overhead.
Wardrobe walls. For bedrooms with no closet at all — common in older Toronto homes and in condo dens. A floor-to-ceiling built-in that reads as part of the architecture, not a piece of furniture pushed against the wall.
Hallway, entry and laundry storage. The small closets that do the most work in a house and get the least attention.
We build with WOODca Design panels and, where a project calls for a fluted or slatted front, Swan Canada panels — the same materials we use in our media walls, in 62 finishes. Soft-close runners and hinges are standard, not an upgrade line on your quote. Anti-fingerprint finishes are available on request and are worth it on a closet door you touch every morning.
Everything we install carries a written warranty. Not a verbal promise on the doorstep — a document.
We work from North York across the Greater Toronto Area. Choose your city for local details, recent projects and the questions we get asked most there:
Planning more than one room? Many clients pair a closet with a custom media wall while our team is already on site — one measurement visit, one install window, one warranty.
Two to three weeks from measurement to installed, in most cases. Rush timelines are sometimes possible — ask when we measure.
Yes, and those are usually the projects where a custom build pays for itself. A stock system simply cannot use that space.
Yes, please — empty and, if possible, clear about a metre of floor in front of it.
No. The on-site measurement and the layout are free, and you keep the quote whether or not you go ahead.
Call 416-574-4943 or send us a message — we reply between 9 AM and 9 PM, every day, and we’ll tell you honestly if a stock system would serve you better than a custom build.
