Tim Overhultz has 17 years of remodeling experience and a 4.8-star rating across 20 Google reviews, and he builds closets that work from day one. Call (720) 819-5919 to get an honest estimate with no surprise fees.

Arvada's housing stock runs the full range: older ranch homes near Olde Town with closets that weren't designed for modern wardrobes, newer builds in Ralston Hills with walk-in footprints that need thoughtful layouts, and everything in between. A good custom closet system accounts for your ceiling height, door swing, natural light, and what you actually store, not just what fits on a spec sheet. The right build includes hanging sections at the correct heights for your clothes, adjustable shelving where you need flexibility, and drawer banks sized for your actual items. Cost varies depending on closet size, materials, the number of components, and whether any structural modifications are needed. Every job is different, contact Remodel Pro Colorado for an accurate estimate.

What a Custom Closet Actually Solves

Most closet problems aren't about space. They're about how the space is organized.

A standard builder closet gives you a rod and a shelf. That's it. So you buy a few plastic bins, stack some shoeboxes, and call it done until it collapses six months later. Custom systems replace that guesswork with a layout designed around your specific inventory of clothing, shoes, bags, and gear. For bedroom renovations in older Arvada homes where the closet might only be 5 feet wide, that means using every vertical inch and specifying double-hang sections for shorter items so you're not wasting the bottom half of the space. It also means you're not buying something from a big-box store that's 90% of the right size and doesn't quite fit.

Closet Types

Walk-In, Reach-In, or Kids Closets: Picking the Right Layout

The right layout depends on your room geometry, not just your preference.

Walk-In Closets

Need at least 5 feet of clear floor depth to function. Layouts go U-shape, L-shape, or single-wall depending on the footprint. These are where you can really build in drawers, island storage, and full-length mirrors. Master suites in Arvada's newer subdivisions often have the room for this.

Reach-In Closets

Usually 24 to 36 inches deep and 4 to 8 feet wide. The common mistake is a single rod and one high shelf. A better build adds double-hang for shirts and jackets, a low rod for pants, and open shelving for folded items. You can double functional capacity without touching a wall.

Kids and Secondary Closets

These need to change as your kid grows. Adjustable rail systems let you reconfigure shelf heights and hanging rods year over year instead of rebuilding. Dedicated shoe cubbies and bin shelves make a real difference in a bedroom that also has to hold sports gear and school supplies.

Linen and Utility Closets

Often overlooked and usually a mess because nobody designed them intentionally. Properly spaced shelves, pull-out bins, and door organizers can turn a chaotic hallway closet into something that actually earns its square footage.

Our Process

How the Installation Process Works

Three steps from your first call to a finished closet.

  1. 01

    Measure and Design

    Tim visits your home, measures the actual space (not the builder's listed dimensions), and discusses what you need to store. The design is built around that conversation, not a catalog template.

  2. 02

    Material Selection and Approval

    You review the layout and choose your materials before anything is ordered. No surprises on what goes in or what it costs. This is what upfront pricing looks like in practice.

  3. 03

    Professional Installation

    Components are installed level, anchored properly into studs, and finished so everything lines up. Most closet installs complete in one to two days. We clean up completely before we leave.

Why Custom Beats the Box-Store Alternative

Modular systems from home improvement stores aren't designed for your closet. They're designed to fit most closets well enough.

Tim OverhultzOwner, Remodel Pro Colorado

  • Built to your exact dimensions

    No gaps, no filler panels, no sections that are almost the right width.

  • Material durability

    Solid wood and quality laminates hold weight and resist warping far longer than particleboard systems.

  • No DIY anchor failures

    Improperly anchored closet systems collapse. We fasten into studs and use the correct hardware for the load.

  • Colorado's dry climate works in your favor

    Low humidity means quality wood and laminate finishes last longer here than in humid climates.

Common Mistakes Homeowners Make Before Calling Us

Buying for Today's Wardrobe Only

Life changes: more kids, work-from-home gear, aging in place. A closet built with no flexibility will need a redo in five years. We design adjustable systems that can be reconfigured without a full rebuild.

Underestimating Vertical Space

Most Arvada homes have 8-foot ceilings in closets. Builder installs use maybe 60% of that height. Upper shelving for seasonal items, luggage, and bins can reclaim a significant amount of storage without touching the floor plan.

Ignoring the Door Situation

A closet with bifold doors has different usable interior dimensions than one with a standard swing door or no door at all. The layout has to account for swing clearance, or you'll lose a section of the system to the door arc.

Part of a Larger Remodel? We Can Handle That Too

Custom closets often come up as part of a bedroom renovation or a broader interior remodeling project. Tim works across the full scope of residential remodeling, so if you're reconfiguring a master suite, finishing a basement guest room, or working through the Arvada home room by room, you're not juggling multiple contractors. One point of contact from start to finish. That matters when walls are open and decisions need to get made quickly. You can also pair closet work with other projects like countertop replacement or flooring to avoid reopening finished spaces later.

Custom Closet Questions, Answered Directly

Is a custom closet system worth it compared to building your own?
DIY is cheaper upfront, but most homeowners underestimate what goes into a closet that holds weight and stays level for years. Proper anchoring, accurate cuts, and hardware that actually works under load takes real skill and tools. A system that's off by a quarter inch at installation will be visibly crooked in six months. Custom professional installation means it's right the first time and stays right.
How long does a typical closet installation take?
Most reach-in closets complete in a single day. Walk-in closets with multiple component types, drawers, and specialty hardware typically run one to two days. Closets that require any structural wall modification, lighting rough-in, or significant prep work take longer. Tim confirms the timeline during the initial visit so you're not guessing.
Do you work on small closets in older Arvada homes with non-standard dimensions?
That's actually most of what we do in established Arvada neighborhoods. Older homes often have closets with unusual depths, sloped ceilings, or dimensions that don't match any modular system on the market. Custom means custom. We build to your actual measurements, not a standard spec.
Can the design be adjusted after the initial consultation?
Yes. Tim presents the layout before anything is ordered. If you want to swap a drawer bank for open shelves, change the hanging configuration, or adjust a section's height, that happens during review, not mid-installation. The whole point of the approval step is to make sure the design is right before anything gets built.
What drives the cost of a custom closet system up or down?
Size is the biggest factor. A large walk-in with drawer banks, a center island, and specialty lighting costs significantly more than a simple reach-in with hanging sections and shelving. Material choice matters too: solid wood and high-grade laminates cost more than entry-level materials. Any structural modifications or electrical work adds to the scope. Every job is different, contact Remodel Pro Colorado for an accurate estimate.
Do custom closet systems require permits in Arvada?
Standard closet systems anchored to existing walls typically don't require a permit. If the work involves moving walls, adding electrical for lighting, or structural modifications, that changes. Tim knows Jefferson County's building requirements and will tell you upfront what the job requires. We don't skip permits to save time.

Can a custom closet system work for a reach-in, or is it only for walk-ins?
Reach-ins are where custom design makes the biggest visible difference. A builder reach-in with a single rod and shelf uses about half the available storage potential of the space. A properly designed custom system adds double-hang sections, adjustable shelves, and drawer options that can double what you can store in the same footprint.
