### All 12 reviews

**★★★★★ — Dalton Carpenter, May 2018**

> This company comes through. Excellent design to maximize closet space.
> This company was the third one we looked at.  The installers were very prompt and professional.
> They cleaned up completely.  The price was extremely reasonable.

**★★★★★ — M Vaccaro, Jan. 2018**

> Excellent company. Closet Monkey beat all timeline and price estimates BY FAR from ALL competing companies in the area. The owners are great and the workers were also very nice. The work was done - an entire home with 6 closets - in ONE day! Amazing!

**★★★★★ — Dawn Zachary, Jan. 2018**

> Closet Monkey is an extraordinary company. Their work is impeccable, and they are the nicest people I’ve worked with since moving to Orlando. I would give them many more stars if possible.

**★★★★★ — Whitney Karleskint, Oct. 2017**

> The entire team was very professional, had great communication and all around did a fantastic job on both our master closet and pantry!! We could not be happier be Closet Monkey!!

**★★★★★ — Kim Kintner, June 2017**

> Highly recommend The Closet Monkey!  They were a great company to work with for our closet renovations.  They were very professional and provided their expertise with helping design our projects.  We added some additional work right before the install date, and they were flexible and able to get both projects done the same day.  Will be using them for our future project needs.  Thanks Kseniya & Tom!

**★★★★★ — Aveni Patel, April 2017**

> I loved everything about this company from start to finish. Very reasonable pricing, good quality work, very friendly. You will love the final product!!

**★★★★★ — thgiwm, Jan. 2017**

> We came across Tom's ad in one of the mailers we receive every quarter or so and since we have been wanting to create a home office with the addition of a Murphy bed, what we saw on the ad sparked our curiosity.
> We made an appointment with Tom and he came to the house. We shared our vision with him, he advised us on the best use of the space and provided a quote.
> We had already contacted another company and their quote was higher and did not have all the added features Tom was offering.
> We were impressed by the fact that Tom and his wife run their own company while raising a young family. We looked at the many positive references on line and felt really good about trusting him with the job. Best choice we ever made! Tom was extremely accommodating with the installation dates and we appreciated how well he communicated with us throughout the entire project. His workmanship is absolutely impeccable! His attention to detail is impressive. The furniture looks fantastic and the mattress inside the Murphy bed is a pillow top full size mattress not one of those cheap foam mattresses found inside fold out couches. Perfect measurements = perfect fit walk-to-wall. All was delivered exactly the way we designed it together and installed in a brief time.
> The LED lights under the cabinet make it really nice and comfortable on our eyes when we do computer work. We highly recommend the Closet Monkey and we will definitely hire them again if we ever have the need to do another facelift to a different part of our home. The price was fair firvthevqyalitybofvtgevproduct, the great customer service, and the hassle free delivery/installation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

**★★★★★ — Nicole Kuperberg, Jan. 2017**

> I first heard about The Closet Monkey on a local facebook group page.  They came highly recommended.  After meeting with Tom and Kseniya and hiring them to do 13 closets in our new home, I would not recommend anyone else.  We used a competitor for our old home, and the experience did not compare.  They came in and measured all of our closets and by the time we sat down at their office, Kseniya had already designed amazing closets for us.  A little bit of tweaking (very little as she had an amazing idea of what would work), and we were set to go.
> We closed on our house just prior to Christmas and explained that we couldn't move in until the closets were done so there was an urgency there. We even chose the ones that needed to get done first. They scheduled us to begin the day we closed, and they were waiting outside to begin as soon as the walkthrough with the builder was done.
> I have never seen anyone work so hard to get a job done.  They knew that we really wanted to unpack, so rather than completing the closets over several days, they worked late into the evening to get all 13 closets done within 2 days since they were closing for the Christmas holiday.  AMAZING!
> Most wonderful experience, with the kindest business owners I've ever dealt with.  I cannot recommend them enough.  I just wish I had more closets for them to do.

**Comment from The Closet Monkey:**

> Hello Nicole, Thank you very much for the feedback.
> We are so happy that we were able to complete the project within 2 days and made you happy. With Best wishes, Tom and Kseniya

**★★★★★ — Tim Kriebel, Jan. 2017**

> The owner's wife did the design after taking all of our input.  Her design was far better at meeting our needs than other designs I had received.  The design phase was extremely professional, and met our needs so well (including the incredible price) that we cancelled other pending estimates. A 3D rendering of the proposed final product was provided that allows you to better visualize the design and what your final result will be.
>
> The installation crew was exceptional and professional, doing things (e.g. spackling and painting holes from the demo phase) that other companies refused to do.  The installation (Master Bedroom Walk in, pantry, and laundry room) was done in about 6 hours and the areas were cleaned up and all refuse was removed.  The finished product immensely increased our storage and useable storage space by at least a full third or more.  The product was professionally installed doing installation items that other companies do not do. A day or so after installation we realized that we need one more shelf in the MBR walk in, and they gladly provided it at no additional cost.  My final cost was at least 45% less than any of my other estimates with the same quality materials and a great overall experience.  I would highly recommend you give them a chance to design and build your storage needs, you'll save a lot of money and be totally satisfied with the installation and the final product. This is a first class company.

**Comment from The Closet Monkey:**

> Hello Tim, thank you very much for your feedback. We really appreciate that. Tom and Kseniya

**★★★★★ — Stacey P, Jan. 2017**

> I recently had a custom built-in done by The Closet Monkey and everything from the first contact to the consultation to the installation was seamless and top notch. Ksenyia and Tom were personable, professional and accessible for any questions. The design was perfect for what we needed, and it was completed timely and flawlessly for a reasonable price. We could not be home during the installation so we left a key, and the unit was built by the time we arrived, and there was absolutely no mess. We get so many compliments and refer anyone we can. We will definitely use them again, and would recommend them highly.

**Comment from The Closet Monkey:**

> Hello Stacey, Thank you very much for your review! We are glad that you enjoy the unit. We appreciate every referral! Tom and Kseniya

**★★★★★ — amhcrea, Jan. 2017**

> We were very pleased and they were attentive to our needs.  Kseniya came to our house to measure, she was awesome. We told her exactly what we wanted, and she went above our expectations by offering different solutions that we didn't think of, which really helped us on making decisions! She made every effort possible to make our dream closets come true, as well as the built-in on our loft upstairs. There was great communication from the design stage all the way to completion. The installation crew was professional, and they did a excellent job on cleaning up after themselves. Tom came out towards end of the job and inspected everything. He made sure we were happy. We will be utilizing their services on our next home that we purchase. We are so happy we selected this company to do this project for us! I included a photo of your truck Closet Monkey, feel free to use for marketing if you want

**Comment from The Closet Monkey:**

> Hello Arik and Kenya, thank you very much for your feedback. We are glad we were able to make you happy! Tom and Ksenya

**★★★★★ — fredddy12\_zwert, Jan. 2017**

> I Purchased a new home with closets that had vinyl shelving which would be inadequate for my clothing, shoe and storage needs.  I contacted closet monkey to provide design options and an estimate.  They were great with providing closet design options and walking through the logic of the closet design to help you decide what design options work for your needs.  They even worked on the weekend after I closed on the home so the closets could be remodeled before the moving truck came.  Thanks again!

**Comment from The Closet Monkey:**

> Hello Brian,
> Thank you very much for your feedback!
> We are always trying to accommodate our clients as much as we can.
> With best Wishes, Tom and Kseniya

## Community Q&A

**Q: Room Organization (After)** *(in Before & After)*

A: Great job!

**Q: Step aside 60's it's 2015.** *(in Before & After)*

I took my bathroom from nostalgic 1965 green velvet wallpaper, metalflaked linoleum and the classic avocado tub to 2015.

A: Such a sleek update; love the under-the-cabinet lighting!

**Q: how to organize shoes** *(in Photo Questions)*

hey I lice in a two bedroom, the closest is kind of small, I need help in organizing my shoes and clothes. my room is kind of basic right now. would appreciate any idea

A: For quick solutions to shoe organization, the following may provide some help:
Shoe Storage Under-the-Bed, Storage Ottomans (could add style), DIY PVC Pipe shoe storage, prop the heels on a ladder, DIY Sandal/Flip-flop hangers, and use a room divider and door canvas holders (shown below). 
Here are a few more ideas: Here, and here, and also here!  

For help with clothing organization, smaller felt hangers will save you a lot of space, as well as rods that double your hanging options (like this one). You can also use hanging shoe solutions to store T-shirts! There are tons of ideas right here!

Best of luck!

**Q: POLL: Where do you hide your laundry basket?** *(in Polls)*

Hampers are constantly full and not nice to look at! And It is always hard to find the best place to hide them! How do you all deal with your dirty laundry?
Vote now and tell us about it in comnents!

A: It's great to keep baskets out of the way, wherever you can find space! It seems like these kinds of tilt-out and pull-out hampers work really well for our clients:

**Q: Organizing ideas???** *(in Photo Questions)*

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this space more efficient on a budget? Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of storage in this house. I'm going to be storing everything big &amp; small. 

Thanks!

A: Different solutions depend on what you'll be storing in this space. Hooks (even temporary adhesive ones) may provide options on the walls on either side, and you could adhere magazine holders for additional storage of cleaning products, kitchen supplies, etc. Wire shelving has its positives, in that you can use S hangers to suspend items in space that may otherwise be unused! However, be careful when storing things like books, as they could be slightly damaged or fall through the cracks. (You can use tiles or any other large, flat surface to avoid this.)
If you're storing a lot of linens and clothes that you don't normally use, vacuum-sealed packing can help to reduce the bulk. Additionally, if you want to store a surplus of small and medium items, you may want to purchase stand-up shelving to double the surface area.
Best of luck!

**Q: Best organization tip for Kids' Closets?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Have you found a great way to control the chaos of a kid's closet?  What tips do you have to pass on? 

Share your experience! (photos encouraged)

A: In addition to the recommendations above, a hanging shoe rack can be very helpful when storing t-shirts! Just roll them up and you can fit around three in each.
