Custom closet questions for Mableton.

The layout, the products and the installation scope set the price. Ask for accessories and preparation work to be listed on separate lines so you can compare each of them with other written proposals.

Say where worn clothes get dropped, check how a full hamper passes through the door and compare its size with how much you wash at once.

Measure the clear opening with the doors fully open, include the wall sections beside it and put everyday items within direct reach.

Say what the work surface is for, measure the tools and equipment used on it and show where you stand on the plan.

Include handles, lids and controls in the measurements, name the appliances that would run there and read the makers' notes on clearance and ventilation.

Measure the printer with its trays pulled out, show which covers lift for service and leave a clear way to reach the cables.

List what needs hanging, say when the rail is used and check how nearby appliance and cabinet doors swing open.

Ask for the panel, surface, edge and hardware specification and compare it with the sample you are shown. A color name does not reveal how a cabinet is built.

Say what must be removed, which fittings stay and how the installer reaches the room. For a garage, include where the tall equipment is kept. Ask which preparation tasks and trades are covered.

Ask for care information on the products actually supplied. Finishes that look the same may need different care, and an illustration does not identify a product.
