They would not give us the contact info for their supplier > > No luck when we hired an electrician— called them again but they won’t help. > > They no longer do installs for a reason— they didn’t know what they were doing. **★★★★★ — HU-361461258, July 2019** > Simply Closets did a great job on our 2 walk ins and linen closet. They gave a fair estimate, completed the project on time and the technician was very nice! We are very pleased with the job they did and would highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Jim Lawn, March 2018** > Barb Roessner (Owner and designer) and Karl (Owner and Craftsman) spent lots of time with us in designing and updating/refacing our 15 year old "white" kitchen cabinets. Fabulous suggestions, meticulous detail, and just really nice folks to work with. Barb even helped with our backsplash tile decision, and steered us in the right direction on hardware choices. I would recommend them to anyone in SW Florida for Cabinets and Closet work! Thanks Simply Closets and Cabinets! My wife and I are very happy, and your pricing was GREAT! **★★★★★ — Cynthia N, March 2018** > Simply Closets was an excellent company to design and build our custom closets. Barb was the designer who very thoughtful and creative, balancing function and design . The guys who did the installation were great too, arriving on time and focusing on the details to making the end results excellent. We are so pleased with all our closets. Pricing was very competitive. > This is the second home where we have chosen Barb and her team as our closet company ! Look no further and just call Barb! **★★★★★ — John Puoci, March 2018** > Jenn came out to our home and drew up plans for theee areas of our home. We installed closet organizers in our master bedroom, cabinets, countertop and sink in our laundry room, and garage cabinets. We are extremely happy with the quality of all 3 areas, and exceptionally happy with the installation process. We are also planning to have Simply Closets come back out and do some additional work for us. We have already, and will continue to recommend them. **★★★★★ — Kasia Evans, Aug. 2017** > I have researched many companies in the Fort Myers area and gotten 6 quotes and designs. Simply Closet & Cabinet provided me with extra quality that none of the other companies could match for great price. Barb showed up to my house promptly and immediately understood my needs. She provided me with a practical design. I also expressed that I wanted to add granite countertop to my design and she provided me with many great options of stone to choose from, other companies were making this design option difficult. The installation of my closet was quick and the installers left the work space clean. I would definitely hire this company for future project ! **★★★★★ — Peter Fazio, March 2017** > They did a very professional job in a short period of time. We couldn't be more pleased. The installers were outstanding. **★★★★★ — wuebbenrobertp, March 2017** > I positively reviewed this Company several years ago after they built two closets. I recently had them complete a third closet. They continue to do high quality work at a fair price. On both occasions, I have worked with Barb who offers very helpful advice. **★★★★★ — LORRAINE FIANDACA, March 2017** > Tracey Clere from Simply Closets is the best! This is the 2nd home I had closets installed by this company and I must say, Tracey exceeded my expectations. We went from one large walk in closet to his/hers closets, which seemed a bit smaller to me, but Tracey organized it so that everything fit perfectly. She listened to my needs and delivered. She is a great representative of Simply Closets and would highly recommend her and Barb too. Thanks again for organizing my closet space. For someone who love to be organized - it's a must! > > Thanks again, Lorraine **★★★★★ — pete miller, Dec. 2016** > We used Simply Closets & Cabinets to design and instal two closets for our newly constructed home. We found them to be extremely competent in all phases. They overlooked the installation of a mirror in my wife's closet and immediately made arrangements to have it installed by a glass vendor. I would highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Carolyn Bugher, Dec. 2016** > I ordered my closets through a referral from Robb and Stucky. Simply Closets measured and drew the plans with my input. While I was back in Wisconsin the closets were built and fit into the closet space of the house I Purchased in Fort Myers, Florida. I was thrilled when I saw them. They were everything and more that I had hoped for! It was a bit intimidating to buy something sight unseen, but Barb kept me informed throughout the process and the house was left spic and span. I highly recommend Simply Closets & Cabinets! **★★★★★ — Melinavk, Nov. 2016** > I had a fantastic experience working with Simply Closets & Cabinets and especially with our designer, Jenny, and installer, John. They designed, made, and installed cabinetry for our laundry room, and they also produced for us a beautiful built-in entertainment center. Jenny is highly professional and a delight to work with. She has great ideas and also knows how to listen to and accommodate your specific needs and aesthetic. John is a perfectionist and an extremely skilled carpenter. You couldn't ask for a nicer or more detail-oriented craftsman to install your cabinetry. They both want to make sure they get it right and that you are extremely satisfied with the finished product. I am looking forward to working with them again in the near future. ## Selected projects - [Meet The Team](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meet-the-team-pj-vj~994609) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [FORT MYERS VILLA/CONDO REVOVATION](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fort-myers-villa-condo-revovation-pj-vj~2332534) - Location: Fort Myers, FL - Photos: 13 - Description: We gutted this older villa/condo in a golfing community and these are the pictures - [CHILD'S CLOSETS & STORAGE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/child-s-closets-and-storage-pj-vj~922100) - Location: Fort Myers, FL - Photos: 2 - [CUSTOM CLOSETS](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-closets-pj-vj~2332524) - Location: Bonita Springs, FL - Photos: 60 - [CUSTOM WOOD STAINED CLOSET](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-wood-stained-closet-pj-vj~1081354) - Location: Naples, FL - Photos: 6 - [LAUNDRY ROOMS & MUD ROOMS & SHIP LAP](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laundry-rooms-and-mud-rooms-and-ship-lap-pj-vj~492487) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [REFACE KITCHENS](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/reface-kitchens-pj-vj~518110) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [BATHROOM VANITIES](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-vanities-pj-vj~1081344) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [MISCELLANEOUS BUILT INS](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/miscellaneous-built-ins-pj-vj~518108) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [CUSTOM HOME OFFICES](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-offices-pj-vj~518098) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [CUSTOM MEDIA STORAGE BUILT INS](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-media-storage-built-ins-pj-vj~1081349) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [CUSTOM BARS AND WINE STORAGE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-bars-and-wine-storage-pj-vj~518090) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [GARAGE CABINETS](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garage-cabinets-pj-vj~1296885) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [AMAZING STORAGE CLOSETS](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/amazing-storage-closets-pj-vj~1297407) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [CLOSET ACCESSORIES](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/closet-accessories-pj-vj~1296872) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [PANTRIES](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pantries-pj-vj~1081364) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 27 - [ROLL OUTS FOR CABINETS, BATHROOMS AND KITCHEN](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/roll-outs-for-cabinets-bathrooms-and-kitchen-pj-vj~5806190) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [NEW KITCHEN](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-kitchen-pj-vj~5808107) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 [See all 18 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/custom-closet-designer/simply-closets-and-cabinets-pfvwus-pf~1132672342) ## Ideabooks - [PANTRIES](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/111861991/list/pantries) — 1 idea - [bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55326664/list/bathrooms) — 4 ideas - [kitchen ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3522582/list/kitchen-ideas) — 9 ideas - [Bedrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3756940/list/bedrooms) — 3 ideas - [laundry room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55326799/list/laundry-room) — 1 idea - [Closet Accessories](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/30331340/list/closet-accessories) — 1 idea - [closetbarb's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3296411/list/closetbarb-s-ideas) — 13 ideas - [Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/15054114/list/fireplace) — 3 ideas - [Wall beds](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3756919/list/wall-beds) — 1 idea - [Wall Units](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3591467/list/wall-units) — 14 ideas [See all 10 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/closetbarb) ## Community Q&A **Q: how deep are the shelves/drawers on the left?** *(in Photo Questions)* we have a narrow but deep closet A: Usually our drawers are 16” deep but we can make them any depth **Q: Where is that laundry cart from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I am not sure , the client purchased that. **Q: Closet change** *(in Design Dilemma)* I have a small bedroom closet I'd like to turn into a media center/storage area. Closet is about 5' wide and above a staircase which takes up about 2' of floor space. Any ideas suggestions? A: Absolutely! If you remove the doors and what is in the closet now we can build the whole thing in! **Q: Which closet system could i use?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I would like to paint my closet, change light fixture and get rid of the shelving. I removed all of my clothing,shoes and would like some ideas. Also, this is my master bedroom walk in closet. A: Good luck! Post a picture when you are finished. **Q: Finish** *(in Photo Questions)* What kind of faux finish is this? Beautiful! A: That's gorgeous! **Q: Closet Organization System** *(in Design Dilemma)* I am planning on remodeling my 6 foot reach in closet and have been on the look out for a classy, yet reasonably-priced modular closet system that includes drawers. Today I flipped through my new West Elm catalog and fell in love with the Design Workshop Modular Wall Storage System, but the prices are out of reach. Does anyone know of a manufacturer who makes a similar looking product? Thanks in advance. A: I would recommend calling a custom closet company. You should be able to get a simple but beautiful outcome at a reasonable price. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-24.*
