### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Kenzie, Dec. 2024**

> Deb was amazing to work with -- super nice, came with great suggestions, and was very responsive to any requested revisions and did this all on about a 6-8 week timeline. I love my final closet!

**Comment from Deborah Broockerd/DkB Design Services:**

> Thanks Kenzie - I love how we were able to give you so much great storage in a compact space!  I hope it brings you joy for many years!

**★★★★★ — Ant Builders, May 2024**

> Awesome crew from the design to the execution.  I am always happy to recommend them. Deb Broockerd is amazing always and the installation is meticulous. She is always thinking outside the box and has the best communication in reaching out quickly to answer any questions.

**Comment from Deborah Broockerd/DkB Design Services:**

> Thank you!  I always love working on your projects & with your wonderful clients.  Ant Builders is the best in DC hands down!

**★★★★★ — Deborah Johnson, Oct. 2023**

> Thank you Deborah for helping me get organized!  I'm so in love with my two new closets.  I've done my closets for a few homes and generally knew what I wanted, but you made some great suggestions that made the closets even more usable.  And dropping off garment racks to store my clothing on during the build out was a special treat!  I'm the type of person who is soothed by organization and this makes me very happy.  The work-people were super nice, clean, efficient and fast.  I'd refer Deborah Broockerd / DkB Design Services to anyone needing these services.  Thank you Deborah!

**Comment from Deborah Broockerd/DkB Design Services:**

> Thank you so much for your kind words!  It was such a pleasure to work with you. So happy to know that your new closets are making your life better!

**★★★★★ — karen5845, Aug. 2023**

> Deb was amazing!!  She walked me through all the possibilities I had in redesigning my master closet. Along with keeping me within my budget, Deb was so creative and met my every need.  I will definitely hire Deb again as I am not done with my closet renovations! Let me not forget, the installation crew were on time, incredibly efficient and cleaned up so I walked in to my new closet ready to hang my clothes!!

**Comment from Deborah Broockerd/DkB Design Services:**

> Thanks Karen - I am so happy to know that everything went well & your new closet is working out well as you settle in!

**★★★★★ — Susan Quinn, June 2022**

> I highly recommend Deborah Broockerd of Closet Factory! Her design expertise, knowledge and professionalism are outstanding! Not only is she very talented but she is a delight to work with! I am thrilled with my beautiful custom closets! I look forward to my next project working with Deborah!
>
> Closet Factory is very fortunate to have Deborah on their team!

**Comment from Deborah Broockerd/DkB Design Services:**

> Thanks Susan - collaborating with you was such a wonderful experience.  Your closets are truly stunning!

**★★★★★ — wdband2, Nov. 2021**

> I met Deb in April 2021. We were just starting a master bathroom and closet renovation. Deb was able to sort through all of the ideas I had in my mind and create the perfect closet layout. I had other designers see the space as it was early on, but Deb was the only one who could visualize and create a plan, so we decided to work with her and Closet Factory. Deb was very clear that it would be at least 10-12 weeks before the closet would be installed and the initial install did take that long. There were some hiccups along the way which delayed the completion of the project quite a bit, all completely out of Deb's hands, mostly due to issues related to covid and the company relocating. Through it all, Deb stood by us until the very last drawer was installed and our dream closet was perfect. I am so grateful to her for her professionalism, creativity and support through this process and could not recommend her more highly!

**Comment from Deborah Broockerd/DkB Design Services:**

> I am truly humbled by your remarks.  It was a challenging project & your patience was so very appreciated throughout the process!  I love the finished project & hope that you enjoy it for many, many years!

**★★★★★ — A. Houck Designs, Inc., Dec. 2020**

> I've known Deborah at Closet Factory for over 20 years, and she's an absolute joy to work with. She's incredibly detail-oriented, so responsive, and helpful when navigating choices/selections for our projects. Any time there may be an issue/problem, Deborah is always there with a resolution. A. Houck Designs looks forward to working with Deborah again soon!

**Comment from Deborah Broockerd/DkB Design Services:**

> Thank you so much for your kind words!  I love working with A. Houck Designs - your work is always stunning & cutting-edge in creativity!

**★★★★★ — Michelle Dunning, Dec. 2019**

> Having worked with a number of closet companies in the Northern Virginia Area, I can say the Closet Factory is just as good as their competitors.  But what sets the Closet Factory apart - and why I'd go to them in the future - is to enjoy working with Ms. Deb Broockerd.  Deb is absolutely fantastic to work with, customer service oriented and just a pleasure to know.  Knowledgable, able and always available (I never had a tough time getting a-hold of Deb when something didn't go quite right with my latest install), I was confident in her service and just knew she would ensure my project was completed with absolute accuracy and attention to detail!  Thanks Deb!  You have been a bright spot in redoing our home office spaces!!!

**Comment from Deborah Broockerd/DkB Design Services:**

> Thanks Michelle - working with you & Dan to create the new office was such a terrific experience!  It turned out beautifully & I hope you enjoy many years of comfort & productivity in your office!

**★★★★★ — Sheryll Cashin, Nov. 2019**

> Deborah did a great job in helping us design our dream closet in a space that included a window that constrained us from using all of the wall space. She was quick to respond to our suggested changes and sensitive to our budget. The end result was beautiful and very specific to our actual needs. I highly recommend her!

**Comment from Deborah Broockerd/DkB Design Services:**

> Thanks Sheryll!  It was such a pleasure to work with you on your new home - what an incredible transformation of the entire house!  I'm so happy that we were able to a part of your team!

**★★★★★ — Joelle Van Over, Oct. 2019**

> Deborah is awesome.  She is so far beyond the standard closet designer: far more creative, easy to work with, responsive, and patient.  And she executes efficiently and clearly.  I am grateful that I met Deb after having two other contacts with highly regarded companies that just did not meet my standards.  Everyone who sees my dressing room now that it is complete asks for Deborah's contact information.  Needless to say, I highly recommend Deborah.

**Comment from Deborah Broockerd/DkB Design Services:**

> Thank you Joelle - I appreciate your confidence so much!  Your dressing room & garage were amazing to work on & one of my favorite projects.  It's a beautiful space & I'm so glad that we took the time to collaborate together on all of the details.

**★★★★★ — A G, Oct. 2019**

> From the first meeting to the unsolicited after work care, I was impressed 100% with Deborah. Beautiful and sensible inspiration, working within my budget but it felt like I had gotten the best deal in years. Every step was a dream.

**Comment from Deborah Broockerd/DkB Design Services:**

> Thank you so much!  It was my pleasure to help with your project & I am so glad the process was smooth for you!

**★★★★★ — Saumil Shah, Oct. 2019**

> Deb did a really excellent job designing the optimal closet for the space I had. It looks great! She was also super responsive throughout the process and developed a design that suited my tastes.

**Comment from Deborah Broockerd/DkB Design Services:**

> Thanks Saumil - your home was such a fun project to work on.  I hope we can collaborate on another design in the future.  Enjoy your closet!
