We are extremely happy with the results. What a difference it all makes! The quality of the installed products is great and we felt that the cost was very fair. John and his helper Joyce finished the job in one day. We hope to have John back again next year to take on the pantry! Thanks John! **Comment from Home Storage Solutions LLC:** > Thank you! It was a pleasure. And your little pup was just a big bonus for Joyce and I ! **★★★★★ — Annette Catania, June 2024** > After some careful research and personal recommendations, we had the good fortune of landing with John at Home Storage Solutions. From our first meeting his experience and pride of workmanship were apparent. John made careful, creative suggestions and helped us decide which route to take in remodeling our Pantry and Master Closet. He is detail oriented, courteous and professional. John does the consulting, planning, revising and installation at a very reasonable price. It was also apparent how he cares for his employees and complete customer satisfaction. The quality of product and installation was excellent. > > This family owned business has our highest recommendations. > > Annette & Sal Catania **Comment from Home Storage Solutions LLC:** > Thanks so much Annette. You and Sal are beautiful people, and it was a pleasure to work for you. It was a fun project for Joyce, Rob, and I. **★★★★★ — Peter Buckley, June 2024** > I am thrilled with the outcome of my closet install. The communication with John was great throughout the whole process. You can tell he loves what he does. Very quality job! **Comment from Home Storage Solutions LLC:** > Thanks Peter! It was a pleasure working with you too!! **★★★★★ — julia anderson, Nov. 2023** > John was recommended to us by Stacy at A Mindful Method (home organizers) to reinvent and rebuild our pantry space. The space itself is pretty small, but John had a vision and his passion for the work really shone through. We found ourselves trusting him wholly and following all of his recommendations (though some we followed reluctantly and it turned out to be our favorite parts — get the lights. GET THE LIGHTS!). He is incredibly thorough and detailed with his drawings. He showed up bright and early at 8am and then - due to our 100+ year old home being cattywampus, he worked diligently until 8pm. I don't know who felt worse — us for giving him this challenge of a home or him for working late. I don't know how he made it work, but the cabinets look BEAUTIFUL and no one would ever be able to tell that the walls are slanted and angled. The entire pantry build out is a dream come true and probably our favorite room in the whole house. His vision and hard work is unparalleled. We are already thinking about what other spaces we can have him come back to work on! **★★★★★ — HU-220916870, March 2023** > Exceptional experience and product!!! John was honest, friendly and easy to work with and guided us through all the great options for layout, color, and hardware. And then we were able to see how our personalized “His and Hers” closets were going to look using his CAD program!!! Doesn’t get any better!!! **★★★★★ — HU-666806216, March 2023** > I still am in awe of our master closet. John is incredible. The initial consult was fantastic. We were able to customize our closet and he could show us in real time on his computer what it would look like. Let me tell you, the in person version is incredible. Also, upgrade to the motion lights. WOW!!! Look no further, you have found your storage solution expert right here. HIGHLY recommend!! **★★★★★ — Keith Boll, Jan. 2023** > We just finished building a custom home. John did a spectacular job designing all our closet spaces for us. The master bedroom closet, in particular, met and exceeded our expectations. John and his team are highly professional and super polite. We would highly recommend John and his company to anyone! **★★★★★ — karenj025, Nov. 2022** > We interviewed multiple closet designers/installers and are so happy we chose Home Storage Solutions. We have a beautiful new master closet! John was so great to work with--gave us lots of options, and took his time walking us through our myriad of choices. He had lots of product samples to show us and made it actually pleasant and fun to design the closet. He delivered on time, just as promised, and we couldn't be happier. Thank you!! Highly recommend John! **★★★★★ — mvward, March 2022** > We built a large multi-family new home in 2021. My husband and I were downsizing and wanted to maximize the space in our main closets and one pantry. I contacted John Plake. I cannot say enough about his wonderful designs and creative solutions including lighting in our pantry. We initially had John install eight closets, a mud room and one pantry. Once our builder saw the work he did, they did not want to install their standard wire shelving as they thought we may not be satisfied. John came to our rescue and designed and installed five more closets, another pantry and shelving in our laundry room. Everything he did for us is of high quality and installed to perfection. He and his team are hard working and meticulous. He is now designing a media center and a storage area for our sewing room. Call John if you want someone who takes pride in the service and work he does! **★★★★★ — HU-641628827, March 2022** > First and foremost, John is an extremely pleasant person to deal with, and do business with. Having someone working in your home can be stressful, but John is welcomed guest any time. Our hunt for a closet for our master originally had us looking at container store, they worked entirely over email, awful communication and so expensive for anything but wire with fake wood fronts. John came to our home and designed our dream closet, all for a much better price then any of the big box stores. If you want quality craftsmanship, good vibes, and and feel confident that you got the best solution for your dollar, John is your guy. Honestly can’t recommend him enough, actually John if your reading this, we need to do something in our laundry room and we should talk. Here is a video before and after - https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdAkW7x2/ **★★★★★ — odinma, Jan. 2022** > John Plake redesigned and built 3 closets for our home and added to our garage coat area. We truly cannot say enough about his talent and congeniality. The work is impeccable and the materials high quality. We highly recommend him. **★★★★★ — lmarley79, Jan. 2022** > John worked miracles in the small space of my walk-in closet! I couldn't be happier. In my last house, he created a beautiful pantry and a wonderful and efficient workshop. Just the best at what he does! ## Selected projects - [Lighted Designer Master Closet](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lighted-designer-master-closet-pj-vj~7501187) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Key Peninsula Master Closet](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/key-peninsula-master-closet-pj-vj~7492424) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Master closet with built in mirror](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-closet-with-built-in-mirror-pj-vj~7492431) - Location: Blaine, WA - Photos: 6 - [Master Closet with Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-closet-with-lighting-pj-vj~6380723) - Location: Shoreline, WA - Photos: 11 - Description: Mid size walk in closet in Innis Arden, Shoreline. The customer wanted a closet out of the ordinary. They seemed very pleased with the final results. They hired me to come to Idaho to do all the closets in their new very large home. The in-cabinet lighting add a fresh look to any closet space, small or large. It is a challenging project to say the least, but well worth the efforts. - [Open concept master closet with lighting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/open-concept-master-closet-with-lighting-pj-vj~7492444) - Location: Bainbridge Island, WA - Photos: 4 - [Walk in pantry with built in wine rack](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/walk-in-pantry-with-built-in-wine-rack-pj-vj~7492437) - Location: Silverdale, WA - Photos: 4 - [725 square foot closet](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/725-square-foot-closet-pj-vj~5558566) - Location: Port Ludlow, WA - Photos: 13 - Description: Very large master walk in closet on the water in Port Angeles.
