dream closets
"Just get me a really big closet." -- Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) in Sex and the City

Cranston  •  Warwick  •  Boston  •  Rumford

You're a problem solver.
— J.M., Warwick, when we built a small walk-in master closet where there previously was none;  stole space from the adjoining room to expand bathroom storage;  and added shelves to a small kitchen that desperately needed storage.

Bottom line — hire this contractor. — D.D., Cranston
As part of a major renovation and addition, we built a walk-in master closet.  Previously, the couple had to share one small closet.  Click here to read the rest of their testimonial.  Click here to read their story.

Although this isn't a typical "closet", this family obiviously needed a place to hang their coats, etc.  To retain the wide open feel of the sunroom, we simply put 2 sets of custom-made coat hooks on the wall.
