**★★★★★ — Alison Andrus, Oct. 2016**

> This is the second time we've had Chris at California Closets help us design space, and the second time we've been pleased with the result. First, we created a budget conscious storage solution to the washer/dryer area. In my son's bedroom, we designed bookshelves for a wall that has a large window. Chris has a good eye and quickly renders his ideas on the computer so we can work on the ideas. He's open to my suggestions and readily let me see how they'd look. Once we finalized the designs, the installation was fast and efficient. The overall effect in both areas is clean, bright, and balanced. I thought the pricing was reasonable as well.

**★★★★★ — archbishopofny, Oct. 2016**

> This is to certify that Jennifer Kaplan did a wonderful job in planning and executing my project in a professional and timely fashion. She also corrected something that was left undone by a previous associate who is no longer with the company.

**★★★★★ — Irene Lisyansky Whyte, Aug. 2016**

> Erika Unyuruten helped we design the walk in closet I always wanted!  She was very knowledgeable and took the time during our consultation to explore various design options.  Erika came to my apartment to take careful measurements and spent a lot of time helping me redesign some aspects after we discovered some structural issues with the space I was not aware of.  She was readily available to make last minute changes to my design that I had asked for and helped accommodate a convenient install date.  The installation was very smooth, professional and completed as scheduled on time.  The closet system fit perfectly and looks fantastic.  I am very happy with having worked with Erika and California Closets! Thank you!

**★★★★★ — Zefu Lu, Aug. 2016**

> Fantastic service, basically designed our closets for 6 rooms under an hour. Adjustments to the design plans were also made quickly (overnight), and we were surprised how efficient the whole process was. Amazing!

**★★★★★ — Paria Goodarzi, July 2016**

> I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with the work that was done by California Closets!  Our designer Erika was professional, accommodating, and all around wonderful. She took precise measurements which resulted in absolutely perfect and beautiful closet systems for 6 closets in our apartment.  The turnaround time was reasonable and the gentlemen who installed the closets were professional, efficient, and had everything done in 1 day. I am very picky and a perfectionist, and was pleasantly surprised by the level of detail and accuracy of the closets. I truly can't recommend Erika and the team enough. Thanks so much.

**★★★★★ — Annabel Samimy, July 2016**

> We worked with closet designer Erika Unyuruten to provide design for two of our closets. The master closet was modeled similarly to one we had before but with much greater flexibility and accessories that greatly enhance the functionality of the closet. She was very flexible with the design, working with us to make modifications.
>
> The second closet was a basic format and the design is functional and adequate for the closet.
>
> I'd also add that when Erika believed that a specific design would not add to the functionality of a closet, she said so rather than trying to sway us otherwise. I really appreciated that.
>
> Overall a good experience and the quality of the materials is very good.

**★★★★★ — reneebom, March 2016**

> I hired California Closets to build out closets for both my master bedroom and my office and had a great experience.  Ashley Howe was my designer ... she was an absolute pleasure to work with and I give her my highest recommendation!  Ashley provided insightful ideas on the design, and was responsive to any questions or concerns.  She will be missed in NYC - the Raleigh market is lucky to have her.

**★★★★★ — elia\_lauriello, Feb. 2016**

> Ashley was professional and consistent in replying to emails, setting up different plans to review, and always answered questions on a timely fashion.  I really appreciated all the time she spent with me and allowing me to run ideas by her.  The walk in closet and adjacent closet set ups came out perfect and fits the needs that we needed.  I will be working on other projects in the future, and look forward to working with California Closets to complete those projects.

**★★★★★ — j\_sgobbo, Feb. 2016**

> Ashley is a joy. She is personsable, confident and knowledgable. She was reliable and very helpful with on both jobs. I felt like she was always there when I had questions or last minute needs regarding the work.

**★★★★★ — kpattz, Feb. 2016**

> Andrea Condur was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional and offered many thoughtful solutions for our closet design. She helped with everything from wood color to cabinet size, design and layout. Everything was designed on a computer and was instantly priced, so we knew exactly what we were getting and how much it would cost. Very pleased with the end product.

**★★★★★ — louisjr44, Feb. 2016**

> Andrea, the sales person and designer did a great job. Very easy from start to finish and the end product is excellent quality. I will for sure be calling Andrea in the future for all of my closet needs.
