Custom closets in Richmond Hill

Bayview Hill, Oak Ridges and Mill Pond — a renovation market, and a lot of closets still fitted the way 1995 fitted them.

Overview

Big closets, fitted for a different decade

Bayview Hill, Westbrook and Rouge Woods went up through the 1990s, and the builders of that decade were generous with floor and mean with everything else. The primary walk-in is a real room — often seven by nine — with a single rail down each long wall at one height, a wire shelf above, and nothing else. The floor is not the problem. Two-thirds of the wall height is.

Oak Ridges is newer and larger, with higher ceilings and more of them: a primary suite there frequently has a walk-in that could take an island, and a second closet that nobody has ever planned. And along Yonge from Major Mackenzie to Highway 7 there is a growing run of condo towers with the same six-foot builder closet you find on any Yonge corridor.

What sets Richmond Hill apart is how much of it is mid-renovation. A large share of our jobs here arrive as part of a primary-suite or whole-floor renovation rather than on their own, which means we are one trade among several. Measuring after drywall and installing after flooring is not a preference here, it is how the job stays on schedule.

Typical briefs

The four jobs we are asked for most in Richmond Hill

The 1990s walk-in, replanned
Same room, different section. Double hanging where the clothes are short, one long run kept for coats and dresses, a drawer bank replacing the dresser in the bedroom, and shelving carried to the ceiling for the things you touch twice a year.
Fitting in around a renovation
We measure after drywall and install after flooring, and we would rather see the trade schedule at the design visit than be told about it later. Nothing gets fitted to a wall that is about to move.
The second closet nobody planned
Oak Ridges primary suites often have a smaller second closet treated as a cupboard. Given hanging at two heights and proper shelving it takes the overflow the main room should not be carrying.
Home office in a bedroom
A common Richmond Hill request since a lot of houses gave up a bedroom for work. A desk built to your height, shelving to the ceiling, filing that fits the paper, and closet doors that still close on the part you would rather not look at.

Walk-in closets in Richmond Hill

Bayview Hill and Oak Ridges — good rooms fitted the way 1995 fitted them, replanned in section rather than in plan so nothing structural moves.

How we build them

Reach-in closets in Richmond Hill

Secondary bedrooms across Westbrook and Jefferson, and the condo closets along Yonge from Major Mackenzie down to Highway 7.

How we build them

Built-in wardrobes in Richmond Hill

Wardrobes and desks for rooms changing use, which in a renovation-heavy city is most of them — a bedroom becoming an office, an office becoming a bedroom again.

How we build them

Sliding closet doors in Richmond Hill

Specified with the rest of a renovation rather than after it, so the doors meet the new trim properly instead of being fitted around it.

Closets and built-ins we built in Richmond Hill

Four primary walk-ins, a wardrobe and a laundry run — black oak, walnut, grey, and one large enough to take an island.

Getting to you

How a Richmond Hill project runs

Working with your trades

Tell us who else is in the house and when. We slot into the schedule — after drywall to measure, after flooring to install — rather than asking the other trades to move around us.

Design visits

Free anywhere in Richmond Hill, six days a week, evenings included. If you have a contractor's drawings, bring them; the designer will work from your dimensions and check them on site.

Timing

Three to four weeks from approved drawings, because everything is cut in our own GTA shop. Where a renovation slips, we hold the slot rather than sending the job out.

Questions

Richmond Hill questions, answered

Almost never. The floor area in those rooms is fine — what is missing is everything above sixty-six inches. Replanning the section rather than the room typically doubles the hanging and adds drawers, without a permit, a wall or a contractor.

Book the design visit early so the drawings are approved and the slot is held, then measure after drywall and install after flooring. That order keeps us off your other trades and stops anything being fitted to a wall that still moves.

Yes, and it is a good share of what we build in Richmond Hill. Desk height measured to you, shelving to the ceiling, filing sized to the paper you actually keep, and cable management so the floor is not the extension cord.

Yes. Certificate of insurance to the property manager, service elevator booked, and the unit planned in pieces that fit the lift — same as any tower.

    Really happy with how our walk-in closet turned out. Closet Form did a great job with the design and installation. They made good use of the space, and everything looks clean, simple, and well organized. The whole process was smooth, and the team was professional and easy to work with. We're very happy with the final result and would definitely recommend Closet Form to anyone looking for a custom closet.

  • K. VijayJune 2026
    I can't recommend this team enough. Marco handled the design and communication quickly and professionally, and then Daniel came in with great attention to detail and made sure everything met my expectations. These two are reliable, easy to work with, and very reasonably priced. I actually insisted on writing this review—it wasn't even requested. I'm beyond happy with the quality of the work and the price. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

    I just had 6 rooms in my house done by closetform and they did an amazing job! Everyone was super punctual, and professional. They had great communication and I love how everything turned out. They took into consideration any changes I wanted and were very thorough with planning. I would recommend this team.
