This was my first time building a custom closet and I asked several companies for in home estimates. Eric was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He brought samples of all his materials and colors so I could pick out just the right things, and the quality of his work was just so evidently higher than all the other folks I talked to. He did two closets for us and I am so, so happy with them! I've been waiting to post a review to be able to add some nice photos but we have two small kids and I've just realized the closets are never going to look perfectly clean LOL! Eric is a one man shop so there is a wait time for him to build your pieces before install, but it was totally worth it. He made everything exactly to measure, and we had odd spaces to work with so off the shelf wasn't going to work for us. read more

Eric is the best around, period. Don't go with a big box store unit, take the time to call Eric and have him stop in for a custom quote. We recently bought our first house and the only part we weren't satisfied with was the cheap and inefficient ClosetMaid wire rack systems in our closet. Our space wouldn't have worked for a stock IKEA system as there was a pillar and a wiring cabinet for internet in the closet, but even if those concerns weren't present we would still have elected to go with Eric. Our biggest challenge was my wife and my disparate heights. I'm over 6'3" and my clothes are just as long. My wife is 5'4" and hers aren't. We didn't even realize you could customize a closet to accommodate clothes of wildly different length but Eric measured what we already had and did just that. This isn't a possibility with big box solutions, I'm thrilled that my shirts and jackets have enough space to hang without bunching up at the bottom. Eric was punctual and professional at our first meeting, spent a lot of time gathering measurements and soliciting our wants before making some preliminary drawings and showing us his wide selection of materials and finishes. We were thrilled with our first sketch and things only got better when we received our detailed closet plans. Eric worked hard to make sure he could find the finish and drawer style of our dreams, working with multiple vendors to get us that material we needed. His install took about a day and he was clean and quiet--my wife and I were able to work from home while he did his work without issue. We went from not enough storage space to more than we know what to do with. Eric's pricing is fair and comparable to big box do-it-yourself solutions. You will get a custom closet without compromise to fit your budget and will end up with a nicer and more space efficient solution than if you looked elsewhere. Eric even replaced the utilitarian cable closet cover with a bespoke wooden cover that matched the closet material and finish. We shopped around quite a bit for a closet, save yourself some time and just start with Eric. read more

Eric did a marvelous job on our pantry, really maximizing the space. He spent time figuring out our priorities and made great suggestions too. The final result looks super professional and is amazingly functional. It was truly a good value too to have such great workmanship. read more

Eric is a super nice guy. Very well organized and good communication. He came to our house and had all kinds of great ideas. We thought we were going to have our walkin closet "remodeled" by him, but something came up and we can't do it right now. Hopefully in the future. read more

Eric worked with me to design and build exactly what I wanted for my daughter's room. His price ended up being less than I would have paid for something that was "almost but not quite right" from Ikea. And it's built very solid and anchored to the wall. This is a one-person business, and he's popular because the work is good, so expect to wait. But it's worth the wait, I got exactly what I wanted! read more

Eric the Closet Guy - The closet Eric designed and built for my daughter's room - Interior Design Near Me

Eric was super clean, professional, and thorough. I was very impressed with his attention to detail. He immediately brought up any issues (which were very few) that arose and discussed options. He did a master closet, 2 guest bedroom closets, 2 linen closets and an entry closet for us. Several of the closets had oddities like sloped ceiling or space constraints that he was able to manage very effectively to maximize utilization of the space. I would definitely recommend (and have already) to friends and family and will be calling him in the future when we have more work! Thank you Eric!!! read more

Had another great experience with Eric. This time had him design and install a walk in closet and a pantry. Absolutely loved every detail he came up with making the space functional and appealing to the eye. Cannot go wrong working with him. read more

Really glad I chose Eric rather than going with a 'big box' closet company. The design looks upscale and really completes the room. He was also the only one that offered to add molding to the ceiling and bottom to make it look more built in which was my goal. I will eventually put a stone top on the open area. I somehow have more storage than I did with a standard dresser and sliding door closet and the top cabinet is very deep and handy for things I don't use often. Eric was one of the only contractors I've hired that actually put blankets down to avoid scratching my new floors and cleaned up well after himself. read more

We were researching for new master bedroom closet installations and ran across Eric The Closet Guy on Google Search and Yelp. Reading the reviews we liked that he was a small owner operated business, no employees, just him. that also makes his lead times for appointments a longer as well as the installation times. IT WAS WELL WORTH working on his schedule as we got a very well planned, constructed, and quality Closet installed. It was custom designed to our needs . Sooo nice to work with just one person with a passion for his work. We picked a colored wood "NOT WHITE" and love it. With Eric you might pay a little more, but like the saying goes "You Get What You Pay For" is so true, and you don't have to work with multiple people from some Big Company. We would Definitely use him again and Highly Recommend at least a bid or price from him for any of your needs for he type of work he does... We Live in Bothell, Wa. read more

I wish I could post 100 stars for Eric as he transformed our ugly, cluttered basement into a thing of beauty by custom designing and installing floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, so that the overwhelming amount of stuff we had, is now nicely tucked away & organized, thanks to his superlative, professional & precise planning & suggestions. Eric was easy to communicate with, responded to our questions promptly & showed up on time, putting in a full day's hard work each time. Because of the pandemic's supply chain shortages, this process took longer than expected but that wasn't Eric's fault. What I appreciate the most is the artistry, beauty and quality of his work! You can go cheap w/IKEA or Home Depot but for quality & beauty, I highly recommend Eric. Thanks Eric, we are so enjoying our new basement space! read more

Eric is an expert in his trade. He shared some of his background and explained built in closets were his desired line of work. His narrowed expertise in the field allows for the quality work that he creates. The experience was easy and streamlined, I am very happy with the end result of my walk in closet design.

I left two messages for Eric asking for a call back to schedule a consultation. I never heard back - pretty disappointed.

Eric developed a custom master closet solution for my wife and me. We, after reading reviews from his customers, were really excited to work with Eric, and he exceeded our expectations. Great communicator, passionate about his work, and excellent craftsmanship. 10/10 the hype is real read more

I have a small condo in Pioneer Square with an usual space for a closet. I didn't have a large budget (he had terrific design ideas for many aspects of closet organization) but he gave me such a great quote for a simple design which was just what I wanted. He was efficient - this job was less than a day of actual onsite installation, easy to have around, and did a lot of extras that made the installation just perfect! It was the best money I have spent in a long time and would highly recommend him. He has a lot of experience in many areas of construction so I had no issues or concerns - especially as my condo is in an old building and no doubt is probably not the easiest to work within - so he can think outside the box (closet?) during his assessment. Thanks Eric! Love my closet! read more

I hired Eric to renovate all of the closets in my townhouse. We discussed what I needed and he offered some great ideas. He maximized the space in each of the closets, with a focus on my height (I'm tall). I'm super satisfied and would hire him again in a heart beat. He was professional and just a pleasant guy. I love my closets. read more

I got closet design bids from California Closets, The Container Store, Closets by Design, and Eric the Closet Guy. While Eric was the most expensive, I felt as if he really understood my needs and the design was the most functional and customizable. The materials Eric uses are fine quality and his workmanship was excellent. My project was delayed several weeks due to Eric's workload. It was worth the wait. If you looking for fine craftsmanship you should consider Eric. Highly recommended. read more

We found Eric's info on Craigslist. We were not sure how it would turn out since we directly contacted him without any references, and we had no idea of what kind of closets we wanted. We just knew that we needed to get more "space" in our master bedroom, one office room, and hallway closets. Eric quickly drew up several ideas, and showed us the types of things that could be done to create space. We were surprised to learn that there are ways to replace the stock Home Depot style closets with more durable, functional and better looking custom closets without giving up an arm and leg that most home organizers want. His choice of materials, attention to detail, and workmanship are excellent. We are very happy with Eric's work, and would love to get more work done by him in future. read more

Eric makes great products - the storage systems he created for our master and kid's closet are fantastic: great quality materials, good workmanship and match our needs 100%. The communication could be a bit improved, though - first meeting and design were a very seamless experience (worth noting: Eric took the time to understand our need and made sure he's meeting all of them) but updates on the work progress (or lack thereof) and scheduling of the installation was more stressful than necessary. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Eric again regardless of those issues, though! read more

This is fourth/fifth project we've asked Eric to manage for us. He is a genius in coming up with solutions for smallish spaces that's really changed the storage game for us. He is a perfectionist and does his own measurements, plans, and installation. He is also reasonably priced for such amazing work. He is the first and frankly only person I would call and refer to others for storage projects. read more

I asked Eric about a custom closet estimate. Provided measurements and got a curt response saying "I will pass". No reason or anything. Guess my work is not good enough for him. I sent the same questions to Rydawell Woodworks and they responded saying they are busy and recommended some alternatives. That's customer service. Maybe you can learn a thing or two. But I am sure he has oodles of excuses. read more

Our experience with Eric was very good: we wanted to have cabinets for our laundry, and he was able to design a solution that had competitive price, looked good, and has lasted very well (6 months so far, zero problems). Everything went well including timeline, budget, communication; he went above and beyond our expectations. This in contrast with 2 alternatives, bigger companies we had worked with earlier: one that was close to a catastrophe (with astronomical separate installation cost; blocking of crawl space access despite having pointed it out to company etc etc), and another one that worked ok wrt cabinetry but was much delayed and slightly over budget. So: not only is Eric very good at what he does, he is much better than all other options we had tried before. read more

Eric listens carefully then designs, creates and installs a quality product. I am very pleased with the final results.

Eric is amazing! We had a closet with a lot of unused space. There was an old metal shower curtain rod we hung our clothes on. Eric completely transformed the closet into a master bedroom closet with shelves and double hang closets. It's beautiful!!! I highly recommend him!!! read more

Eric is a great perfectionists and does top quality work. He may take some time in replying and scheduling but that's only because he is a one man show and does great work! read more

I contacted Eric and explained what I was looking for. He came to my home and looked at the closet. I had him give me an estimate for a custom cabinet. He left and said he'd send me an estimate. After a week - I called him and left a message. No response. After 3 more attempts to contact Eric, he NEVER returned any calls! WOW! It must be nice to be self-employed and burn bridges! read more

The master bedroom walk-in closet was the only room in our house that made me feel BAD every time I stepped inside. The space was decent but really nothing more than a rod for hanging clothes and hence a big mess. After living with it for seven years we finally decided to do something about it. I found Eric on Yelp, I called him mid-day, and he was there a few hours later to give me a bid! He suggested a configuration that used the space much more efficiently and actually gave us more space for clothes and shoes. He finished the closet in one day and it is awesome! Exactly what I was dreaming of. And I no longer feel bad when I step in the closet. The price was reasonable and Eric was very professional. I also have a strong value about using small local businesses whenever possible so I was happy to find Eric. Highly recommended! read more

As we were remodeling our master bath, we thought it would be a good idea to also do a custom closet. We went around and got quotes from a lot of different businesses and we settled on a particular design. I did not feel, however, that for the money, the cabinet quality was there. On a whim, I found Eric via a Google search and he came out the next weekend. He is an extremely small business-- he does everything himself. Designs, measures, builds and installs. While his price was on par with competitors, his quality and total delivery is exceptional. Needless to say, we hired him and 3 weeks later he delivered and then installed our new & beautiful closets. Eric is always concerned about his service and quality. He sent follow up emails and a thank you card. It's been a long time since I received this type of service and it is much appreciated. read more

I found Eric after reading about a lot of other companies and I love to use local person over big box brand. My closet needed a huge make over and I was worried. Eric was great, he put my mind at ease, shared some ideas and thoughts and even some suggestions I could do to make the closet looked even nicer. Totally worth it and I'm so happy with my master bedroom closet. He does these little touches and just makes the closet look and feel grand. He is easy to work with, response quickly to any questions. He is the closet guy. read more

I found Eric The Closet Guy on Yelp after looking for a true local business owner that wasn't the typical 'big box' type company. I am so glad I found Eric - he took the time to really find out what I needed and worked with me to meet all my closet needs. We specifically designed my closets around what I needed including shelving, drawers, shoe racks and more. I couldn't be more pleased with my new closets. I now have more storage than I have stuff and that is a good problem to have. If your looking for a local business, no pressure sales tactics, and great service, Eric is your guy! read more

I got a referral from an interior designer to contact Eric - He came to take an over view of my huge mess & tiny closet areas - he totally changed my life as going from a 2 bedroom to a very small 1 bedroom was a big adjustment - not only was the result great but my favorite was when I called him to ask a question after he was done and he was very nice about wanting to help - that seems to be unusual these days - I was delighted and would recommend him highly! tpan read more

I had three bedroom closets and one utility closet done by Eric. He was able to deliver exactly what I needed and more. He is detailed oriented and in time. The closets look amazing and increased the value of my home. His prices are fair and cheaper than the completion. Definitely recommend Eric for your closet needs! read more

I found Eric through a google search - he came up in the top results. I simply called his number and he gave me a call back the next day. I already knew about how much my closets would cost me and I had a pretty good idea of the configuration I wanted. I emailed him my drawings and when he came for a consult he was ready with his notes on improvement. He's truly professional--actually knows his business. He was able to make smart adjustments to my proposed layouts to consider specific use case scenarios. The materials he used are great quality. If we were to stay in our current home for longer than a couple of years, then I would have definitely invested in his "dove tail" -- more solid wood option. But I cannot complain about the choice I made. The quality of workmanship is top notch! He was clean, efficient, and the closets look great. He worked with my budget and was able to finish the whole job (3 closets) in 2 days. I would highly recommend him and will use him in the future if the need comes up again. read more

We have a large laundry/mudroom area that had been begging for a built in storage system for year, but having been through a large remodel a few years ago, I was hesitant to initiate a new project in our house. While searching the internet for ideas however, I found Eric The Closet Guy's website. I realized immediately that he would be able to build a system that was both functional and beautiful. We called him and he came out within days, returned with diagrams and an estimate within a week, and installed the whole thing within a month or so. It looks amazing and is extremely well built. I would not hesitate to use him again. Not only does he do high quality work but he is honest, prompt and very professional. read more

Eric did a fabulous job making two closets much more functional and creating a new stand alone shoe cupboard. We are thrilled with his work, and how great it all looks. The quality is at least as good at the big chain competitors, the service exceptional, and the price can't be beat. Would highly recommend Eric to anyone looking to have closets configured and storage maximized. read more

I was referred to Eric by my real estate agent. I had just moved from a 2100 square foot house to a 585 square foot condo. The walk in closet was spacious, but with only closet maid wire shelving, the space needed to be utilized more efficiently. It was important to me to really take advantage of space for storage and to have it also look nice. Eric was very patient in discussing ideas with me and helping me get a visual of how the finished product would look. He did make a couple minor mistakes, but went the extra mile to get it right, even coming back free of charge to move my hanging bars to where I had originally wanted them. If you want something super custom, I'd definitely recommend Eric the Closet Guy. I know I got much better quality for much less money than I would have going with one of the big closet chains. This is definitely a niche market! read more

We had just purchased a home in Mercer Island and were at the tail end of an exhausting remodel. We realized that something still needed to be done about the wire shelving closet situation in our kids rooms, so we searched Craigslist and came across Eric's ad. We were looking for quality closets at an affordable price, and we wanted to avoid the high-pressure sales of the corporate closet people. We found Eric to be responsive, service-oriented, knowledgeable, polite, and professional. He installed 4 amazing custom closet systems in our home with exacting measure. Eric is a true "old-world" craftsman in my opinion; he is meticulous in his work and it is evident that he genuinely cares about the customer, and the final product. Eric went out of his way to be sure he met our timeline expectations, and he even called several days after the installation to be sure we remained satisfied. Eric far exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend his services. read more
