A lot of closets in newer Hewitt and Robinson homes come with the same thing: a single wire shelf and rod, and nothing else. It works until you've got more clothes, shoes, and bins than one shelf can hold. Hewitt Custom Cabinets builds closet systems with actual cabinetry, drawers, dedicated shoe storage, and shelving laid out for how you actually store things, not a one-size-fits-all wire kit.
This is a built cabinetry system, not a flat-pack closet kit from a big-box store. We measure your closet, design around your hanging and storage needs, build the components, and install them so everything fits the space exactly.
What's included
What's Included
Typically included: hanging sections sized for your wardrobe, drawer units, shelving, and standard hardware like rods and brackets.
Optional: dedicated shoe racks, accessory hooks for belts and bags, and custom shelving inserts built for specific storage needs.
Customer prep: clear out the closet before your measure appointment so we can see the full space and any obstructions like outlets or vents.

Materials
Materials and Methods for Custom Closet Systems
Closets see constant daily use, so the materials need to hold up to drawers opening and closing and shelves bearing weight for years without sagging.

Melamine Panels
A durable, easy-to-clean material commonly used in closet systems, resistant to scuffs from daily use.

Closet Rod Hardware
Sturdy rods designed to support hanging garments securely without bowing over time.

Drawer Slides
Smooth-gliding slides that improve drawer function and durability through years of daily opening.

Shoe Racks
Dedicated shelving designed to organize and display footwear instead of piling it on the floor.

Accessory Hooks
Hooks added for belts, scarves, and other small accessories that otherwise end up tangled in a drawer.

Custom Shelving Inserts
Inserts tailored to maximize storage within the closet's footprint, built to the exact dimensions of your space.

DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Custom Closet Systems
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Wire shelving kits from a hardware store work for basic hanging storage on a tight budget | Built cabinetry with drawers holds more and organizes better than wire shelving ever will |
| Fine for a rental or a closet you don't plan to keep long-term | A custom system fits your exact closet dimensions instead of leaving wasted corners |
| — | Resale value holds up better with a built system than a wire kit |

FAQs
Custom Closet Systems FAQs
Do custom closet systems cost more than wire shelving kits from Lowe's?
Custom closet systems cost more than wire shelving kits upfront. The difference buys built cabinetry, drawers, and shelving sized exactly to your space instead of a generic wire shelf.
What's the difference between semi-custom and full custom closet systems?
Semi-custom systems use modular components arranged to fit your space. Full custom builds every piece to your closet's exact dimensions, with no filler panels or gaps.
How long does a closet system installation take?
Most closet systems take 2-3 weeks from design approval to build, with install finished in a single day.
Is a wire shelving kit a bad option?
Not necessarily. Wire kits work fine for rentals or tight budgets. They just don't hold as much weight or organize as well as a built cabinetry system.
Do closet systems need a permit?
Typically closet cabinetry is non-structural and doesn't require a permit unless you're changing walls or adding electrical.
Can you build a system for a reach-in closet, not just a walk-in?
We design systems for both reach-in and walk-in closets, sized to whatever space you have.
What storage options can you add to a closet system?
Drawers, shoe racks, accessory hooks, and adjustable shelving are all common additions depending on how you want to organize the space.
