Hi all,
Wanted to see to what everyone's thoughts/experience is with closet organizers.
I've done some high end rehabs for 3 of my rentals, put in closet organizers (the basic white shelving and rods you buy as a kit from home depot.. e.g. $70-100/kit). Questions I have..
(1) What have you done for your rehabs (either rental or Flip)? Just a basic rod and shelf or an actual kit from Home Depot like this one?
(2) If you install a kit (shelves, rods, etc) do you purchase a kit from HD or another retailer? Advice on this? Price range? I would think I could find better deals online, right?
I ask as I'll be flipping a home in South Philly (my first real Flip, but my 4th full rehab) and curious if I should put nicer organizers vs. basic ones from HD in the main (larger) bedrooms.
When we remodeled the kitchen on our current live-in rehab, we had the kitchen contractor do up the master bedroom closets with a "box" of slow-close drawers, shelving at the top of the closets, and hanging bars. The previous stuff was falling apart.
This house is about $475000 in coastal Florida. We left the white wire rack "closet furniture" in the rest of the house.
Most of my houses are in the low $200,000 range and are rentals. They have a general box store white wire shelving system. I have another more expensive house that my husband and I are remodeling, and we will do something like the photo below on the next house.
I have installed closet systems from IKEA in the past. I like the system design, although they do tend to be more expensive. However the IKEA on Columbus has a great sale section and I'm sure you can find some bargains, especially for the blanks.
