Thank you for trusting Smart Closets with your project—we truly appreciate your kind words and support. > > Enjoy your beautiful new space! **★★★★★ — Josh, June 2026** > Ben and the Smart Closets team were a pleasure to work with. They came out, talked through what we were thinking about and suggested design options we never would've thought through ourselves, and then helped us visualize those ideas with mockups. > > Install was quick and painless and the end product looks amazing. We couldn't be happier! **★★★★★ — Hilary Hooley, March 2026** > Smart Closets was fantastic to work with from start to finish. The team was knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire process incredibly easy. They really understood what we needed and designed a solution that is both beautiful and highly functional. The quality of the work is excellent, and everything was completed in a timely manner. I’m very happy with the results and would highly recommend Smart Closets to anyone looking to upgrade their space. **Comment from Smart Closets:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a smooth experience with Smart Closets and that the design met both your needs and expectations. It means a lot to our team to know our work made a difference in your space. > > We truly appreciate your recommendation and are always here if you need anything in the future. **★★★★★ — awoll9, March 2026** > Fantastic service, I like that the same person that measured and quoted the project was overseeing the installation. It was done on time and in the budget estimated at the outset. Communication was clear and professional, highly recommend! **Comment from Smart Closets:** > Thank you so much for your kind review! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're very glad to hear that everything went smoothly and that you were happy with the service, communication, and overall process. > > It was a pleasure working with you, and we truly appreciate your recommendation! **★★★★★ — Brigette Pesce, Feb. 2026** > This is the second time we’ve used Smart Closets. The first time being in 2016 when we built our home and only did our master bedroom closets. They held up beautifully and we decided to do our other bedroom closets, our pantry and coat closet. The process is smooth and easy. Ben and Michael completed the work and everything went according to planned. We could not be happier with our results! You will not be disappointed in Smart Closets! **★★★★★ — James Davison, Feb. 2026** > We had a fantastic experience working with SmartClosets from start to finish. Coordination with Sylvie was seamless — she was responsive, organized, and incredibly on top of details, which made the entire process feel calm and well managed. > > Ben is truly a master of his craft. His depth of knowledge is exceptional — what he doesn’t know about closets isn’t worth knowing. Beyond that, he brought a level of skill, insight, and problem-solving that meaningfully elevated the project. He came up with smart, thoughtful ideas that enhanced our original designs, improving both functionality and overall execution without ever losing sight of the aesthetic. > > The quality of the products is excellent, and the installation was equally impressive — precise, clean, and clearly done by a team that takes real pride in their work. The end result feels considered, well-built, and beautifully finished. > > We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SmartClosets and look forward to working with them again. **★★★★★ — Carole, Jan. 2026** > My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with the custom closet Ben designed for us! The whole process was super easy from start to finish and came out so gorgeous! Ben and Sylvie were so knowledgeable, kind and quick to respond to any questions that we had. We would 100% use them again. **Comment from Smart Closets:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re truly thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience and love your custom closet. > > It means a lot to us to know the process was smooth and that our team was able to meet your expectations. We sincerely appreciate your support and would be happy to work with you again anytime. > > Thank you for choosing us! **★★★★★ — Mid size bedroom closet with sloped ceiling, Jan. 2026** > Everyone at Smart Closets is kind, responsive, and helpful!

Give expert advice during the design/measurement process, show up when they say they will show up (a rarity these days) and their work is impeccable. Finished project was beautiful. We have used them on a few projects and happy every time. They are a pleasure to work with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. **Comment from Smart Closets:** > Thank you so much for your kind words and continued trust in us. It truly means a lot to our family and team to hear such thoughtful feedback. We’re grateful for the opportunity to work with you on multiple projects and are thrilled that you’re happy with the results every time. It’s always a pleasure working with you as well, and we sincerely appreciate the recommendation. **★★★★★ — Master Closet, Nov. 2025** > We loved working with Smart Closets! Their design for our master closet was beautiful, the installation was quick and seamless and Ben was so kind and wonderful to work with. He had great insights and suggestions for how we could maximize our space. **Comment from Smart Closets:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you loved your experience with Smart Closets. It was truly a pleasure working with you, and we’re so glad you’re happy with your new master closet. Enjoy your beautifully organized space! **★★★★★ — brentpatterson513, Oct. 2025** > We stubmled upon Smart Closets via some Google searching and are glad we did. We appreciated the professionalism of the design process and the quick and easy installation by a team of obviously veteran, customer-first employees. And we are thrilled with our new four closets! Each of which had unique characteristics and dimensions--and even some complicated internal obstructions. The closets were truly custom and made great use of all the space available--an important factor in New York. There's no way we could have bought something off the shelf and had it as nice-looking, functional, and that utilized all the space for all the different kinds of storage we needed. Definitely recommend--it's worth the deposit for a consultation--you won't be disappointed with Ben's work! I don't foresee having the opportunity to work with them again --the nature of having one apartment and not planning to move, now that our closets are fully designed and utilized, but I'd be very happy to use their services again and recommend them highly. **Comment from Smart Closets:** > Hi Brent, > > Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Smart Closets! We’re thrilled to hear you’re happy with your new closets and that our team’s design and installation process met your expectations. > > We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation—it means a lot to us. Enjoy your beautifully organized space, and we’re glad we could help make the most of every inch of your home! We hope to work with you in the future! **★★★★★ — Keith knight, Oct. 2025** > The job was done in a professional and timely manner from Ben. He completed exactly what I requested from the diagrams **Comment from Smart Closets:** > Hi Keith, > > Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re truly delighted to hear that you’re happy with our work. Your satisfaction means a lot to us! > > We can’t wait to transform more spaces like yours with Smart Closets. ## Selected projects - [✨ Living Room Transformation ✨](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/✨-living-room-transformation-✨-pj-vj~7828506) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Under Stair Closet – Finish Details ✨](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/under-stair-closet-finish-details-✨-pj-vj~7827982) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Wall-Unit Closet Project ✨](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wall-unit-closet-project-✨-pj-vj~7827973) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [From Dreamy Book Nooks to Seamless Storage: Elevate Your Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/from-dreamy-book-nooks-to-seamless-storage-elevate-your-home-pj-vj~7827967) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Transform your living room from "appliance eyesore" to "architectural accent." ✨](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transform-your-living-room-from-appliance-eyesore-to-architectural-accent-✨-pj-vj~7827950) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: Check out this custom AC cover finished in stunning Roble Azabache.

A: This specific customer did not add light but many do. We usually will make that counter 30" high but this was the customer request. It is an old job and hard to find old pictures but I know the height of the closet, it is 96". The drawers are mostly 18" wide and 5"H, 7.5"H, 7.5"H **Q: LOVE THIS CLOSET, WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS?** *(in Photo Questions)* THANKS A: That will be Smart Closets **Q: my kitchen design** *(in Organizing the Home)* white Pink and grey A: What a daring design, very unique and successful. **Q: 96-120" shelves** *(in Photo Questions)* Does the client actually use the shelving at the top? How on earth would you reach it? I ask because I've got 10' tall ceilings and was only planning on going to the 8' height. Thanks. A: These upper cabinets behind doors were designed for storage purposes, a ladder is necessary to reach. **Q: what is the dimension of this closet?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It is approx 44 SF. The actual size is 8 ft deep by 5.5 ft wide. **Q: Lighting** *(in Photo Questions)* Whta is the diameter of the pendants? I have a 5'9" x3'9" peninsula and 8' ceiling, should I go with 2 of 13" or 2 of 7". The stove and hood are centralized in the back. A: Who makes this lighting? --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-09.*
