"Our goal was to build a structurally safe garage storage loft. Juan and Julian were a great team to work with. They were very professional and organized- they gave us a quote and clearly communicated what the plan would look like from beginning to end. They guided us on the items that we needed to buy prior to starting the work in order to complete the project within the estimated time. They suggested modifications that were minor fixes but made the layout make more sense in terms of placement. Their crew finished a day ahead of schedule. They kept a clean work site and the quality of the results were great. I would gladly work with them on another home project in the future!"

"American Home Renewal did a fantastic job on our siding replacement and window addition project at a very reasonable price and were a conscientious, pleasant, straight-forward team to work with. Context: Our 3-story building has two condo units. We needed to replace an entire exterior wall's plywood siding that had significant dry rot and repair any rot that had reached the framing. While we were at it, we wanted to add four additional windows to that wall. Chris at AHR was very helpful and knowledgeable talking through recommendations with us, which included replacing our old plywood with lower-maintenance engineered HardieBoard siding. I am very detail oriented and ask many questions. He was never dismissive of our questions, and treated my co-owner and I (both women) with respect. His bid was both well-priced (comparable to bids for plywood siding not HardieBoard) and very comprehensive, including a detailed list of all material and services that were included in the project. He was always very responsive, replying to emails and calls within a day, both before and after we signed the contract. AHR has crews devoted to different work, e.g. siding, windows & doors. So our project was done in two parts: Team 1, headed by Andrew, first removed the old siding, did framing and structural work for the new windows, and installed the windows; Team 2 installed the new insulation, vapor barrier, plywood siding, and external siding (HardieBoard). Andrew, who headed Team 1, was exceedingly conscientious. He talked through choices as they came up, such as what parts of the framing had rot and needed to be replaced. In all cases, we talked through different options, and their cost differences. I felt we were able to make informed decisions about every aspect of the project without delaying progress. His team was also very respectful when they needed to do work from inside our home, covering everything with tarps, helping with furniture moving, and giving us advance notice of when they would need access. Team 2, who specializes in siding, worked like an amazing team of acrobats. I was amazed by how quickly they did their work, up and down the 3-story wall, and the very high quality of finish. This team's specializing on siding clearly pays off in its efficiency and quality. Both teams coordinated necessary inspections and left the work site tidy and well protected from the elements (this was in January) every day. My one negative of the experience is that our project start was delayed several months. This was primarily due to our building plans not being finalized by the initial start date AHR had assigned us due to open questions with the engineer (not AHR). After those were sorted out, we had to wait a few months for AHR to have another time slot for us. It was disappointing, but understandable given the high demand and low supply for construction services in the Bay Area right now. This was by far my best experience of several projects hiring contractors, tradesmen, or handypeople for home improvement work."

The timeline for custom closet installation varies based on project complexity and scope. Simple reach-in closets can often be completed in less than a day, while elaborate walk-in designs may require one to two days or potentially longer for intricate custom features.
Professional installers can finish standard projects within a single day, though additional time may be needed for specialized carpentry work, custom finishes, or extensive storage systems.
For areas with high humidity, moisture-resistant materials offer superior performance and longevity. Melamine, laminate, and vinyl-coated wire systems resist warping and moisture damage better than untreated wood options. If you prefer wood elements, consider cedar (which naturally deters insects) or properly sealed hardwoods with moisture-resistant finishes. Proper ventilation also plays a crucial role in humidity management—incorporating vents or louvered elements helps maintain airflow and prevent moisture accumulation.
Custom closet installations recover 50% to 60% of their cost in added home value. Well-organized storage spaces represent significant selling points, particularly in master bedrooms and other primary living areas. The greatest value comes from thoughtfully designed systems featuring versatile storage solutions, neutral color schemes, and quality construction. While you may not recoup the entire investment, enhanced marketability often translates to faster sales and stronger buyer interest.
Irregular spaces actually present excellent opportunities for custom closet solutions. Professional designers can create storage systems that maximize awkward corners, angled walls, and unusual dimensions that standard prefabricated units cannot accommodate.
Custom-built components can be precisely tailored to your specific spatial constraints, though such specialized fabrication may increase costs compared to standard installations. The resulting storage efficiency often justifies the additional investment, transforming challenging spaces into highly functional storage areas.
