Question 1

How much do custom closets cost in Columbus?

Accepted Answer

Most Cap City Closets projects run about $2,500–$25,000 depending on the room: reach-in closets start around $2,500, full walk-ins with islands and lighting reach $25,000+, and pantries, garages, offices, and mudrooms fall in between. Every project is quoted from a free in-home measurement — no design fee, no obligation.

Question 2

How long does install take?

Accepted Answer

Most reach-in installations finish in a single day. Walk-ins, pantries, garages, and built-ins typically take 1–3 days. The full project — discovery call to install — runs 3–6 weeks.

Question 3

Reach-in vs walk-in — which do I need?

Accepted Answer

If you stand outside the door to use the closet, you have a reach-in. If you walk inside to get dressed, it's a walk-in. Reach-ins maximize a small footprint; walk-ins add islands, seating, mirrors, and lighting. Cap City Closets designs both.

Question 4

Are custom closets worth it — do they add home value?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The National Association of Realtors has reported closet renovations return up to 56% of cost at resale, and custom closets are among the highest-visibility upgrades buyers notice during showings. For most homeowners, the day-to-day quality-of-life gain matters more than the resale number.

Question 5

How is Cap City different from California Closets or Closets by Design?

Accepted Answer

Cap City Closets is family-owned and based in Columbus — not a franchise. The owners design your project, you see it in 3D at our Tremont Center showroom (not on a laptop in your living room), and our own craftsmen install it. We use the same tier of US-sourced materials, but you deal with the people building it from day one.

Question 6

Do you work with builders and remodelers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cap City Closets partners with Central Ohio builders and remodelers on new builds, primary-suite renovations, and whole-home projects. We coordinate with your GC, work from your plans, and time install to your punch list. See our Builders & Remodelers page for trade pricing and lead times.

Question 7

What's the warranty?

Accepted Answer

Cap City Closets backs every project with a Limited Lifetime Warranty on panels, shelving, hardware, and workmanship for as long as the original owner owns the home, plus a 2-year labor warranty on any warranty repairs.

Question 8

Where is your showroom?

Accepted Answer

Our showroom is at 2098 Tremont Center, Floor 1, Columbus, OH 43221 — in Upper Arlington. Your 3D design reveal happens there so you can see the project at scale and review finish samples in person.
