Custom Closets Englishtown NJ

Custom closets, built-in wardrobes and garage storage for Englishtown — the older houses around Main Street and the Village Inn, and the newer homes and townhouses further out.

Englishtown is a small borough — well under a square mile — sitting entirely inside Manalapan Township, and our home office on Tennent Road is just outside it. For Englishtown homeowners that means the consultation, the measuring and the installation all happen close to home.

Small as it is, the borough has a real mix of houses. The older ones near the centre were built long before anyone planned closets, and the newer ones have closets that were sized to a floor plan rather than to the people living there. Both get the same answer: storage designed and built to the room. See how the process works.

Older Houses Near Main Street

Englishtown's centre goes back to the Revolution — Washington drew up the court-martial papers against General Charles Lee in the Village Inn after the Battle of Monmouth in 1778 — and the streets around it still have houses from well before closets were standard.

In those homes the problem is rarely a lack of space in the room. It is that the storage was added later, wherever it fitted: a shallow closet under the eaves, a cupboard in a chimney alcove, a bedroom with none. Walls are rarely square and ceilings change height from one room to the next.

That is exactly where made-to-measure pays off. A built-in wardrobe can follow a sloping ceiling or fill an alcove from floor to ceiling, and an existing closet can be rebuilt inside so a shallow space holds twice what it did. See wardrobes and built-ins →

Newer Homes: Closets That Fit the Plan, Not the Family

The newer houses and townhouses around the borough usually do have closets in every bedroom, and often a walk-in off the primary bedroom. The trouble is how they are finished: one rail and one shelf, the same in every room, whatever goes in it.

A closet finished that way uses the wall and wastes the rest — the height above the shelf, the space under shirts and jackets that need only forty inches of drop, the corners. Fitting it with double hanging, a drawer tower and full-height shelving routinely doubles what it holds without making the closet any bigger. See reach-in closet systems →

Walk-Ins Worth the Floor Space

A walk-in should be treated as a small room rather than a large cupboard: hanging sized to the clothes, drawers in place of a dresser in the bedroom, shoe shelving, and storage up high for the things used twice a year. See walk-in closet systems →

Garages, Pantries and the Rest of the House

Closets are where most projects start, but they are not where storage problems end. In a borough of compact lots, the garage is often the only real overflow space, and it fills up fast. Wall panels and overhead racks get everything off the floor so the car goes back in. See garage storage →

The same thinking applies to pantries and linen closets: pull-out shelves and adjustable heights make a narrow cupboard usable to the back. Everything is built in our Perth Amboy workshop to the measurements taken in your home, and most single-room installations take a day.
