You pay good money for a “professional” install. What we got was a below average, sub par, closet install. The installers were in such a rush to just get it done, that many mistakes were made, which they tried to just cover up. Instead of taking their time, focusing on the details, and making sure it was done right the first time, the company lead installer just tried to fix their mistakes as I pointed them out upon being told they had finished the job. Closest sections not even close to level, nicks/scratches on brand new melamine, and carelessness with the finish nailing has ruined what was suppose to be a “new”closet install. Instead I am left with closets that look like they have 3 years of wear and tear on them.Extremely disappointed from the designer to the installers. The only bright spot is Susan their office person. She was great to work!Updated 2/19/2021We appreciate Mark taking the time to come out to review the poor quality install his first two employees did. Scott and Dave were able to cosmetically fix many of the original installers oversights and mistakes. It was a big difference in quality of work, from asking if we’d prefer them to wear booties, putting down blankets to protect the flooring as they corrected issues and taking their time. If Scott and Dave had originally done the install, we would of never had the headaches, excuses, and lies the first two installers tried to pull over on us. We are happier after most of the issues were corrected, but are still finding small issues and mistakes from the original installers.
We could not be happier with our master closet and our daughters closet. Illysa created a great design for both. Our daughters closet especially was a challenge because we needed it to include her dresser and some file cabinet space for us. Mark the owner and Joe installed the closets on a short turn-around time. They were on time, courteous, and everything looks wonderful. I would recommend Closet Factory to anyone. Pictures are attached but they really dont do the work justice.
Requested an appointment using your web page on Thursday 8/4 or Friday 8/5. Received an email response from Susan Swanson on Sunday 8/8 asking me to provide open times I could meet the weeks of 8/16 and 8/23. I replied with my availability directly to Susan on 8/9. After two days of not hearing back (and holding the suggested days and times on my calendar) I emailed Susan again on 8/12 asking to get a consult scheduled. As of this review (8/16) I still have yet to hear anything. My experience has always been when you are treated this way as a prospective client, it doesnt get any better once you become a paying client. I wont be using Closet Factor South Chicago in Darien Illinois.
Closet Factory ROCKS! It was finally time to organize our garage and, after researching various options, Closet Factory was far and above the best choice. Our appointment was easy to schedule (thanks Susan!) and our designer, Carrie, spent 4 hours helping us design the space. She followed up with us that evening with final plans, including a 3D view. About a month later, our installers, Sam and Tony, arrived on time and could not have been nicer. We have a few more projects that need to be done and we will DEFINITELY be reaching out to Closet Factory!
My experience with Closet Factory was wonderful! I would highly recommend our design specialist, Robyn Marino, and Closet Factory. From our initial meeting and throughout the entire process, Robyn was extremely thorough in explaining all of our options, provided great advice and was extremely patient as I made several changes to our designs over the course of several weeks. She was very quick to reply back to any questions and I never felt any pressure to rush so she could close a deal. Once we signed the contract, scheduling was a breeze. The install team arrived on time, were very professional and did an amazing job. I am so happy with my new closets!
Mark and his installation team transformed our master bedroom closet into our dream closet! They were very professional and completed our job within budget as well as the designated timeline. Thank you Mark!
I am so excited for our new closet space. Our rep Carrie was wonderful. She spent a lot of time making sure I got everything I wanted and needed. The project was right on schedule too! The guys who did the install were very professional and respectful. Thank you Closet Factory!
Personalized, professional and an overall excellent experience! We are very happy with the project from start to finish. Thanks!
This company was great to work with. From the 3D design with Robyn and working with Susan in the office for scheduling. All were very professional and easy to work with.When the installers arrived it all continued to be great. They were respectful of the area putting protection done to keep things neat and clean. Work was quick and it all looks amazing and exactly as planned.I would highly recommend them, it’s well worth the it.Thanks closet factory!
Very good experience with closet factory. White glove installation was very well done, including replacing the baseboard trim perfectly. Pricing was competitive with modular cabinetry option that didn’t even include install in the price. Would highly recommend!
This review is long overdo, but better late than never! Last December, my husband and I were moving into our house and desperately needed new closets & laundry room storage. We wanted to get it done quickly before we moved in. Mark came and met with me the same day I called. Susan is the receptionist and she was so kind and helpful! Mark spent many hours with me so last minute and went over designs for all the closets and the laundry room. He said because of the holidays we would be cutting it close but he was going to try and get it done for us before moving in. Well he delivered and 5 closets plus our laundry room was finished within such a short timeframe! We did have a slight issue with the installation but Mark took care of it right away. Mark was amazing and reliable. Highly recommend using Closet Factory!
WHEN I SAY THE MONEY IS WORTH EVERY PENNY! I LOVE MY CLOSET. IT LOOKS LIKE A DEPARTMENT STORE....LOVE LOVE LOVE. THANK YOU TO THE INSTALLERS, SUSAN AND I LOVE CARRIE THE DESIGNER! SHE WILL HOOK YOU UP....... THANK YOU.......
Carrie our designer was super helpful and creative with our space. Guys installing did a great job too!
I am completely ecstatic with the work this company has done for our home! The process was so easy from start to finish! The designer, Carrie, came to our home on a Saturday, SATURDAY, to help us choose the perfect closet solution for our space. We also tasked her with designing a wardrobe for the bedroom to add more storage and her input and vision was just amazing!Fast forward to the install, the installers (Mark, Tony, Sam) were super professional and nice. They were very detailed to make sure everything was secure and exactly how it was designed. I honestly thought I could cry with how gorgeous the wardrobe turned out! I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to redo their closets or any storage needs!! Thank you!!
Great quality and excellent customer service
Our experience with Closet Factory was exceptional from beginning to end!!!! First-let me mention that Mark the owner took my call AFTER HOURS and took the time to listen and schedule an in-home consultation immediately to address our needs. Mark went above and beyond to help my husband and I achieve our goals. The virtual design process was amazing and exact. Thanks again to Mark, Susan, Scott and Sam for your impeccable service, custom designs and installation. We love how you turned our back room into a wonderful walk-in closet and the additional custom closets, cabinetry and drawer island created to address all of our storage needs.We highly recommend Closet Factory - exceptional service, design and quality products.
We loved our closet organizers so much that we ordered two more! Christie was terrific-from concept to execution. She knew exactly what we needed, and took a personal interest in making sure that we received what we envisioned. We chose Costco because they have consistently provided outstanding products and service. This company is at the top of that list!
Look no further!We started planning our conversion of a walk through closet and office/den since February. We researched countless of contractors, carpenters, and companies throughout the Chicagoland areas. We are so happy to have chosen Closet Factory through Costco! We did not go with the lowest bid, but instead went for reputation, review, and their Costco referral. Closet Factory sent their Interior Designer, Carrie to listen to our plans and specific needs for our study. She spent countless of hours designing our project through Zoom and later through in person COVID safe meeting. She has great ideas that saved us time and money! We wanted floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall bookshelves with three desks built into the shelving. She designed it so that our kids had plenary of desk space without feeling over claustrophobic. Plus, we needed storage space for our cello and violin! Then two carpenters worked for three full days. Joe was so polite and professional. And, I truly appreciate Sam’s craftsmanship and his attention to detail! We had uneven ceilings and walls, but you would never know it. He is truly on top of his game. Finally, Mark (owner) bent over backwards to make sure we were happy and pleased with the project! He added a few extra details to our project which we benefited from. I’m telling you, save some leg work and time. I will be calling Mark and Closet Factory soon for our mudroom makeover.
A wonderful experience from start to finish! The in home consultation with Valerie really helped me prioritize my storage needs and visualize the end result. The process was explained perfectly and everything happened exactly as it was supposed to. The installers were fabulous - Punctual, efficient, friendly and careful with everything! The office was kind, attentive and helpful. Me expectations were exceeded on every front and I will be calling them again very soon for my linen closet, pantry and laundry room!
Mark at Closet Factory spent much time at my place helping me find a solution to my organizational needs. We havent begun the project yet but want to acknowledge his assistance and how professional and knowledgeable he is. The quote was immediate and presentation well done.
I thoroughly enjoy my new closet. I have more room to organize my shoes & clothes. I made an instant connection with my designer Carrie Nepkin. She was professional and was able to maximize the space to implement all my requests and give me options with the design. Thank you Closet Factory!
I had an urgent project to complete in a short period of time and this incredible team of designers and installers worked with me and completed on time for a surprise for my daughter. Best company I have had the pleasure to work with on home improvements. Looking forward to working with them on future projects.
What great people to work with. From the design to the install Painless. We are very happy with the results.
A very BIG Thank you goes out to Closet Factory for the design and workmanship of our Custom Closet. Everyone from Susan (receptionist) Carrie (designer), Mark (President), Scott and Tim (installers) was a pleasure to work with.They delivered in such a professional and careful way to all of our requests and needs in our design. We are extremely happy in the product and workmanship and most of all the quality. The closet matched our decor with our hardwood floors perfectly.I’m so glad we chose this Compnay, Closet Factory. They are part of my team for recommendation to any and all of our family and friends that may want to do business with. A+ and 5 stars!!
Carrie came out and guided us through the entire design process. She knows everything about closets and has a flair for design! She incorporated all the important things my wife wanted and helped us save on the nonessential options. Sam, the installer, worked hard and kept the house clean throughout the three day installation process. Do yourself a favor and call Carrie for a quote. The beat everyones prices and the cabinets are top notch. When my trim carpenter saw the closets (he builds them for a living) he said, Wow!When I told him how much the closets cost us he said, Wow! I couldnt build them for that.
Thank you to everyone from Closet Factory for making our dream dual office a reality. Heather was amazing at working up a design that fit with our vision and style. Once it was time to install everything, Mark handled all of the logistics seamlessly. We highly recommend the company and look forward to having them design and build future projects in our home.
Love my closets! From start to finish everyone was professional and very friendly. Carrie helped in the design and was always available when I had questions. The installers were professional and kept all areas very clean during the installation.Would highly recommend
Carrie was amazing! We emailed multiple closet companies on a Friday she called immediately! The others well...were still getting calls😂I told her I needed everything installed within 2 weeks and she got it done! No screw ups no hassles. They had a belt rack that came in damaged and the immediately had another overnighted and installed within days. I will definitely use closet factory again. The price was reasonable and the owner of the company came by to do a second check measurement as my media closet was a bit of a tight squeeze. Thank you Carrie for your extreme care for details!
I LOVE my new closet! I can fit so many more things in it and it looks great! They were very professional from the design to the install. Highly recommend!
This is the 2nd time Closet Factory has performed work for me. First, my closet was installed, then removed for the installation of hardwood floors, and then re-installed. Closet Factory does good work and would be my first choice for other closet organizational needs.
Thank you closet factory for an AMAZING closet!!! I got the closet I’ve always wanted thanks to Robyn, Mark, and Susan. The closet is so beautiful and far exceeded my expectations! They are so wonderful to work with.
Loved everyone who worked on my special project. Great company! They understood my vision and helped me create an enormous, built in wall unit to my specifications! Thank you!
The Closet Factory team gets an A+ rating from me! Everyone from the lady you speak with over the phone for scheduling, to sales and installation....all are top notch professionals. Would highly recommend!
Unbelievable design! Unbelievable quality, incredible people from the owner, to an amazing designer Carrie, to the installers!!!!Highly recommended this company !!!!! Amazing from start to finish!!!!!Turn around time was awesome too!!!!You cannot go wrong!!!!!Carrie will definitely be back to help make my house amazing!!!!!
We had a great experience with Closet Factory. In the home we recently bought, we had an existing built-in space that was worn from years of use and built with cheap materials probably by a do-it-yourselfer. Given the trouble we experienced in finding a contractor that would fix the unit, we decided to gut the unit build it new. Additionally, we inquired about a wall unit entertainment center. I never would have thought of contacting a closet company for a wall unit TV built in, but they had a photo in a home magazine ad of an entertainment center so we gave it a shot! The ad also included a discount on work so keep an eye out for their ads or promotions.Robyn from Closet Factory (Chicago South) came to our home twice to look at the space, measure, and offer suggestions. She suggested ideas that could save us money if we needed to keep costs lower. We needed a custom fit for the existing built-in space. The end result is fantastic! We have a charging station with storage drawers, cabinets, and decorative shelves. Our entertainment center on the blank wall is also custom to fit several personal preferences and requirements including an intake air vent the unit was built around.In the past, weve used Ikea bookcases and units and those obviously work in a lot of spaces, but this space in particular is on the smaller side and the built-ins give us so much flexibility and look great.Additionally, the crew who measured and did the building were on time, professional, and did a great job. They adjusted issues on the spot to fit crooked walls or oddities with the space.With a new (but old) house and selling our last place, weve had to hire a number of companies for different jobs. Weve experienced several no-shows, no call backs, offers that werent really discounts from lawn service, contractors, and painters. The experience with Closet Factory was professional and timely at each step from the initial call through the crew building the units. Though the whole process took months, Robyn kept us updated with timelines.
Not sure which Im happier with - the service or the product. Let me explain my experience. The short version is that my wife, myself, and our two kids (1 & 3) had been living with my parents for almost 8 months because our old home sold more quickly than expected. We were near the end of a renovation project on our new home where we touched every room. It was early December, and the race was on to try and move in so the kids could wake up in their new home on Christmas morning. The closet person our contractor brought in told us 6 weeks on the closets - minimum, for a wall mounted floating system in our master closet and pantry. I was certain we would be living out of boxes for at least a month, and more importantly didnt know how we would manage the kitchen without any storage in the pantry. I caught the ad for Closet Factory in Naperville magazine. I called and simply asked the receptionist about timing. She explained they would likely be an after Christmas install. I explained our situation and thanked her for her time, and she wished me happy holidays. A short while later I received a call from Mark. He spent some time getting to understand what we wanted in closet design, and suggested we talk with his design consultant, Val, while he explored the possibility of getting the pantry in by Christmas. Val was on vacation, but spent a couple of straight hours on the phone with my wife ironing out design plans. At the end of the day, Mark and Val were able to get us a floor based closet system, designed to our specs, and a floor based pantry system with a counter for about the same price as my contractor could build a floating, wall mounted system. The best part of all, and the part Im most thankful for, is that Mark absolutely exhausted himself to get it all done before Christmas so that we could move into a finished home. I cannot say enough good things about my experience from my initial call all the way to completion. Its beyond refreshing in this day and age to have a service experience wildly exceed expectations, and Mark and his team did that. And, the quality of the work and the product are outstanding. Thanks Mark and Val for everything.
I LOVE CARRIE, she was just awesome to work with her and mark ! My closet is absolutely Gorgeous ! I actually had a very bad experience with another closet company, and they came to save the day, and all my worries were gone and they also did it very fast ! I LOVE MY NEW CLOSET !!!!!!
