**★★★★★ — HU-513265335, Nov. 2024**

> I finally got the closet of my dreams, thanks to Custom Storage Solutions in Holland, Ohio! Right from the start, Marielle made the entire process so easy and fun. I really appreciate her super friendly personality. I described what I needed and Marielle made it happen. She gave me great advise, and when we made changes along the way, it was so easy. She can show your closet on a computer screen, so you can see it come to life. Seeing our closet get built by professionals at our home was a joy. The end result has blown us away! Our closet is beautiful and we are so excited about it. I highly recommend Custom Storage Solutions to anyone who wants an easy process, great customer service and high-end results. Thank you Marielle for everything! ❤️

**★★★★★ — Catherine Steinke, Aug. 2021**

> Fantastic job!   They are very friendly, will work with you to accommodate your needs, on time for the project, clean up the mess, and very reliable. They did my master closet for me and I was so pleased I contacted them again to do a laundry room. I would highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — Mary Lou Nadaud, July 2020**

> Fantastic job done by Custom Storage Solutions on a spare room large storage shelving unit and shoe cabinet!. It is beautiful, sturdy and just what we needed! Audrea and Shawn were very helpful and easy to work with!  Installation was done without a hitch and so respectful and clean in our home.

> Thank you Mary Lou for your review we appreciate it very much!

**★★★★★ — Peg Tichy, Nov. 2019**

> These are the people to call!! They are very friendly, will work with you to accommodate your needs, on time for the project, clean up the mess, and very reliable. They did a closet for me. I was so pleased I contacted them again to do a laundry room. When I’m ready, I’ll get them once more to do a linen closet.

**★★★★★ — Julia Tice, July 2019**

> If you live in Findlay, OH or anywhere in the Northwest Ohio area I highly recommend you check out the work that Audrea and Shawn at Custom Storage Solutions can provide. With two young children and living in an older house that wasn't built with a large garage or closet space, my husband and I knew that we needed to find a way to better use our space. I initially was looking at Custom Storage Solution for help in remodeling my closets. I then learned they also do flooring and custom cabinets for garages. Audrea drove to my house and took measurements so she could design great spaces for us. We completely remodeled our garage with RaceDeck flooring and custom cabinets. We also had closet space that had weird roof line angles and other design challenges. I am amazed at how Audrea and Shawn transformed our spaces. Our closets can accommodate much more to handle our growing family and I can let my children run around the garage on a floor that is safe and clean for their bare feet. I highly recommend you call Custom Storage and see what they can do for your space.

**★★★★★ — Shelley Skiver, April 2019**

> Excellent design knowledge. Excellent installation capability. Pleasant, courteous, genuinely desired to meet our needs, and beyond. What more could we have wanted?! Nothing short of 5 stars!

**★★★★★ — Monica Lott, March 2019**

> Audrea and Shawn were wonderful to work with from the first interaction to the last. Audrea visited our home and took measurements. I was blown away with what she could do on the computer program. She made it very easy to add or subtract what we would like. Installation was very smooth and tidy. Prices were not nearly as bad as I imagined! Best decision we made when building our home was using Custom Storage Solutions. The possibilities are endless!

**★★★★★ — Sofia Tomase, Feb. 2019**

## Community Q&A

**Q: can you tell me what the dimensions are?  specifically the “walkway”?** *(in Photo Questions)*

can you tell me what the dimensions are?  specifically the “walkway” area?   Thank you!

A: I believe that closet was about 5' wide in that area of the photo not 100% sure on that though sorry that was a while ago. But the shelves are 14" deep

**Q: Paint colors** *(in Photo Questions)*

What brand paint and color code did you use? Ty in advance for your assistance.

A: Ty for your inquiry that photo was taken several years back the customer had the garage painted prior to flooring and cabinets. Sorry not able to help with that.

**Q: What were the SF dimensions of the closet plan, behind the false wall?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: This was around 6' to 7'

**Q: what size TV will this fit?** *(in Product Questions)*

A: Is there a way to get a sample of the finish prior to ordering? Also what is the return policy?

**Q: How can I order this** *(in Photo Questions)*

How can I order this

A: Thank you for your interest but not able to make another one of those bars. It certainly was a unique item that took a very very long time to make.

**Q: pilot house boat bar** *(in Photo Questions)*

Please, tryuing to find out information on this product,

A: Yes, that is a good price. I designed and built my pilot house bar. It was about 6 months of work in my spare time. I am big into the nautical theme and decor but the only boat bars I've seen are the boats cut in half, or bow / stern made into a bar. I also own a boat and see many ships, that's what inspired me to design and build something different. I sold this bar for $3500.00.. I'm sure it would cost much more to have one custom made.
