Our Picks
Three Closet System Tiers
tract homes from the 70s-90s often have undersized service panels. The systems we install most in Sacramento County:
- IKEA PAX — best value. Modular wardrobes that look custom-built when properly installed. $499-$1,299 install.
- ELFA (sold at Container Store) — mid-tier modular. Premium fit, lifetime warranty, faster install. $799-$2,499.
- Custom built-in — site-built cabinetry by carpenter. The premium tier. $1,999-$5,999.
IKEA PAX Install — The Pro Difference
IKEA PAX comes in flat-pack boxes. DIY install: 6-12 hours per wardrobe with 2 people, often results in misaligned doors and non-square cabinets.
Pro install: 3-5 hours per wardrobe with 1 person. We level on uneven floors, anchor to studs (not just drywall), align all doors with consistent reveals. The result looks site-built, not flat-packed.
ELFA System Specifics
central air on every house, but ductwork in 30+ year-old neighborhoods is often leaking ELFA mounts to a top track that screws into studs. The vertical standards hang from the track — no floor support needed. Best for closets where you don't want to commit floor space to a system.
ELFA components: shelves, drawers, baskets, hanging rods. All modular and reconfigurable.
