Custom closet questions for Palm Harbor.

Price follows the layout, the products and the installation scope. Ask for optional accessories and preparation work to be shown on separate lines so each can be compared.

Note what any central drawers would hold, how wide the aisle stays with a drawer open and where the air vent and thermostat sit.

Photograph the opening with the door panels pushed aside, compare drawer widths with the clear opening and note any track or bi-fold hardware that cuts into depth.

Photograph the garage as you use it, with the cars parked, mark the room beside the open doors and note the water heater or panel that must stay reachable.

Measure the biggest cases and cans you buy, decide which groceries you open daily and set aside a section for reserve supplies.

Note the equipment and where each piece sits, the outlets, and the desk at its highest and lowest settings.

List the appliance models, photograph the water, drain and vent lines, and check how the machine doors and the garage door swing.

Ask for the panel, surface, edge and hardware specification and compare it with the sample. A color name alone does not describe construction, or how it handles damp air.

Say what needs removing, which fittings stay and how the installer reaches the room. For a garage, include where the cars park. Ask which preparation work and which separate trades the proposal covers.

Ask for care information on the products actually supplied. Finishes that look alike can need different cleaning, and a picture does not identify a product.
