Custom Closets in Toronto & the GTA

Measured in your room, made in our own GTA shop, installed in a day. Independent rather than a franchise, so there are no franchise fees in the price.

What custom means

Made to your room, not fitted to it

Custom means the closet is drawn to your room and then made — not chosen from a range of sizes and made to fit by packing out the gaps. A designer measures the actual opening, the ceiling height, the baseboard, the light switch that is in the way and the wall that is out of square, and the unit is cut to those numbers in our own GTA shop. Nothing is trimmed on your bedroom floor to make a standard carcass fit a non-standard wall.

That distinction is worth being precise about, because most of what is sold as custom in this market is not. A semi-custom or modular system is a catalogue of fixed widths, depths and heights assembled into your space, with filler panels closing whatever is left over. It is a legitimate product and it is cheaper. It is also why so many closets have a two-inch gap at one end and a shelf that stops short of the wall.

What you get for the difference is the height, mostly. A modular unit tops out where the catalogue tops out; a made-to-measure one runs to within a few millimetres of your ceiling, which in a Toronto house is frequently a whole extra shelf of storage across the entire run. Then the details that only exist if someone drew them: hanging heights set against what you actually own, a drawer bank where a dresser used to stand, and a top box that closes the gap instead of collecting dust.

Three ways to buy

Custom, modular or flat-pack

All three are sold as closet systems in Toronto and they are not the same thing. The honest case for each.

  • Custom, made to measure

    Drawn in your room, cut to your measurements, installed as one fitted piece. Runs to the ceiling, works around the bulkhead and the radiator, and puts the hanging at heights set against your own clothes. Costs more than the other two and takes three to four weeks from approved drawings. Carries our seven-year warranty on the carcass, shelving, hanging systems and installation.

  • Semi-custom or modular

    A catalogue of fixed widths and heights, assembled in your space with filler panels where the sizes do not meet the walls. Faster and cheaper, and genuinely the right answer in a rental or a house you are selling. What it cannot do is reach your ceiling, follow a wall that is out of square, or put a drawer anywhere the catalogue does not already have one.

  • Flat-pack and wire

    The hardware-store answer: a wire shelf and rail, or a boxed unit you build yourself. A few hundred dollars, in that afternoon, and for a spare room or a first apartment it is the sensible choice. It will not carry weight over time, it wastes the three feet above the shelf and the three below the hanging, and it is furniture standing in a closet rather than storage built into one.

Closet types

The four kinds of closet organizer we build

Walk-in closets

A room you stand in. Perimeter hanging at two levels, a drawer tower or an island where the room clears ten feet of width, shoe shelving, seating and lighting that shows colour properly.

Full specification

Reach-in closets

The standard bedroom opening, four to eight feet wide. Double hanging where the clothes are short, drawers instead of a dresser taking bedroom floor, and a shelf run carried to the ceiling.

Full specification

Built-in wardrobes

For a bedroom with no closet at all, which in a pre-war Toronto house is common. Full height, fitted wall to wall, trimmed to the room so it reads as part of the house rather than as furniture.

Full specification

Sliding closet doors

Bypass and bifold panels for rooms where a swing door has nowhere to go — mirrored, frosted or panelled, measured to your opening and hung square in a house where nothing is.

Full specification

What it costs

Custom closet prices in Toronto

How it is built

Materials, hardware & who makes it

What it is made of
Fronts come in over fifty melamine finishes, MDF in any colour, wood veneer, lacquer, or a mix. Shelving is rated at 50 lb per linear foot, which is the number that matters when a shelf is carrying folded denim rather than sweaters.
Hardware, as standard
Soft-close on every drawer and every door, not as an upgrade line on the quote. Full-extension runners so the back of a drawer is reachable. Rails and lift systems specified to the weight they will actually carry.
Made here
Cut and finished in our own GTA shop, which is what keeps a typical closet at three to four weeks from approved drawings to install day rather than waiting on a container.
Independent, not a franchise
There are no franchise fees built into what you pay, and warranty service is direct rather than through a national call centre. The seven-year warranty covers the carcass, the shelving, the hanging systems and the installation.

How it runs

From the first visit to install day

The design visit

A designer comes to your home, measures the real opening and draws the unit in 3D while you are standing in the room. Free anywhere in the GTA, six days a week including evenings, and same-day or next-day appointments are often available.

The quote

One number covering the design consultation, the 3D visualisation, the manufacturing, the delivery and the installation. Nothing is added afterwards for any of those.

Manufacture and install

Three to four weeks from approved drawings. One crew, usually one day for a closet and two for a large walk-in or a full wall of joinery, floors covered and the packaging taken away with them.

Questions

Custom closet questions, answered

A reach-in closet runs $1,200 to $6,500 depending on size and what goes in it. A walk-in is $2,500 to $8,000 for a standard room, $8,000 to $15,000 with an island and luxury finishes, and upwards of $15,000 for a full dressing room. A built-in wardrobe is $3,000 to $8,000 standard and $8,000 to $16,000 premium. Every figure includes design, 3D visualisation, manufacturing, delivery and installation.

A custom closet is cut to your measurements. A semi-custom or modular one is assembled from a catalogue of fixed sizes, with filler panels closing the gaps where those sizes do not meet your walls. The practical difference is usually height — a modular unit stops where the catalogue stops, which in most Toronto ceilings leaves a shelf's worth of storage unused across the whole run.

Three to four weeks from approved drawings to install day, because everything is cut and finished in our own GTA shop rather than ordered in. Installation is one day for most closets and two for a large walk-in or a full wall of joinery.

No. The in-home design visit is free anywhere in the GTA, from Burlington to Clarington and north to Georgina, with no travel charge and no obligation at the end of it. The designer measures your actual room and draws it in 3D while you are in it.

No. We are independent and locally owned, we manufacture in our own GTA shop, and warranty service is handled directly rather than through a national call centre. There are no franchise fees built into the price.

It is decided by the room rather than by preference. If you have a room you can stand in, it is a walk-in. If you have an opening in a wall, it is a reach-in. If the bedroom has no closet at all, which is common in pre-war Toronto houses, it is a built-in wardrobe. Your designer will tell you which yours is at the visit, and what each would cost.

  • 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.
  • Misbaah BhattiJune 2026
