I am looking to build a fairly large closet in my garden level finished basement … floor to ceiling. I want it to look like it’s original to the house which means plasterboard sides that can be painted to match existing walls … no laminate oand I want all the shelves to be adjustable.
My contractor came in with a very expensive proposal and I would like to get a few more estimates. Can anyone suggest a contractor? The job is big but not huge. The closet will be approximately 8′ wide by 2′ deep by 8′ high. Thanks.
by the way, unless a customer requests MDF, I do not use it.

I have a few weeks that I am available for in August if you wish to talk to me about this.
My guess is the wall with trim and a couple of sets of doors finished with rock on the inside would be about $2700. The 1800 to 2000 figure stated above would be ok on a simple wall with one door.
The shelves can go anywhere. Bottom number for something made of good cabinet grade ply with a solid wood edge (not a taped edge which will come undone over time) would be about 2800. Now I have to qualify this figure as someone will read this, break out the cost per foot and wonder why I charge them more for the bookcases I build; this is for simple 3/4″ ply made to hold clothes. If this were for a bookcase it would be a good bit more as I have to put a cleat on the front and back edges of the shelves. But 2800 is the bottom from where I sit for something to hold clothes. Realistically, 3400 for the shelves. Drawers will also drive the cost up and so will doors. California Closets will get a lot more, this I know as people call them and then they call me.
So I could figure the total at about $6,000.

My contractor built a standard closet for my sis that sounds like something you’re looking for. His number is 347-583-0523 Oleg. Feel free to call him to discuss. Cost her significantly less than 10K.
This seems to be my year for closets and planter projects. I’m sure I can help you.
If you’d like to discuss it, please drop me a line at rendak@optonline.net Thanks.
10k? Man, that guy must have a bill coming due!
Actually, all I was asking for was an exterior shell, and adjustable shelves … nothing fancy. There would be 4 sections, each with a standard door. The shelves could have been MDF as long as the exterior could accommodate std doors.
