How do I know what custom closet company to use?

The best thing to do is get a few estimates. Once you see each design make sure they have what you need in the closet and not a lot of extras. Don’t just choose the least expensive. Check out references and ask others you know that have had there closet done about the service they received. Maybe even the BBB.
