Custom closet questions for Peachtree Corners.

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.

Draw the full swing of the room door, check drawer travel against the opposite wall and say if two people dress there together.

Photograph the opening with each panel moved aside, compare the drawer front width with the usable opening and record the tracks and guides.

Say who lifts each bike and how, check the route from storage to the garage opening and match the mounting system to the wall.

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

Photograph the real chair in the room, mark the walkway behind the desk and check that drawers open with the chair occupied and the desk in use.

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 the garage, include where the controls and bike equipment sit. 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.
