Custom Closets in Chandler, Arizona
Free In-Home Design Consultation: (602) 298-6956
Space Solutions designs and installs custom closets for homeowners across the City of Chandler and the wider East Valley of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Walk-in closets, reach-in closets, primary-suite builds, and luxury finishes. Every closet is engineered around the wardrobe you actually own and the way Chandler homes were actually built, which is a genuinely different story than the newer suburbs around it.
Here is the Chandler reality. Most of this city went up between 1970 and 1999, with another wave after 2000. That means your house has probably been kept up beautifully, and your closet has not been touched since it was framed. It was sized for a smaller wardrobe, in a decade when people owned fewer clothes, and nobody has questioned it since. A single rod, one shelf, and a door that has to stay shut.
Downtown Chandler goes back further still, to bungalows and early Spanish Revival homes built between 1912 and the 1960s. Those closets are smaller again. And at the other end of the city, the lake communities at Ocotillo and Fulton Ranch have the footprint for a proper dressing room and a finish level that has aged out of style. Three different closet problems, one city.
Serving every Chandler neighborhood.
From Ocotillo and Fulton Ranch to Sun Lakes, the Airpark corridor, the Price Corridor neighborhoods, and the historic homes around Chandler Square. Founded by Noah and Jennifer Peery in 1991. 45,000+ Arizona homes served.
Why Chandler Homeowners Love Custom Closets
Chandler homeowners invest in custom closets for a reason that has more to do with time than with money. The house is fine. The kitchen has been redone, the floors have been replaced, the paint is current. The closet is the last original thing in the house, and it was designed for a different era.
The 1970s through 1990s home is the dominant scenario, and it is the bulk of Chandler. These closets were built when a primary suite got a single rod-and-shelf and that was considered generous. Ceiling height goes unused. Floor space fills with a pile. Depth runs 24 inches whether the wardrobe needs it or not. We rebuild these as integrated melamine systems with double-hang sections, drawer banks, and shoe storage that uses the full wall.
The downtown historic home is the tightest version of the problem. Around Chandler Square, the bungalows and restored early homes were built when closets were an afterthought, sometimes a wardrobe cabinet rather than a room. Every cubic foot has to earn its keep, and a custom build finds usable storage in places the original carpenter never considered.
The lake-community home is the third. Ocotillo and Fulton Ranch carry Chandler’s top finish levels, with the widest price band in the city sitting inside Fulton Ranch alone, from townhomes up to custom estates. The footprint for a real dressing room is often already there. The remodel turns it into a showpiece rather than a storage room with good light.
Sun Lakes deserves its own note, because the brief is different. In an age-restricted community, the best closet is not the biggest one. It is the one where everything you wear regularly sits between knee and shoulder height, where nothing requires a step stool, and where the seasonal items you rarely touch go up top with a pull-down rod. We design a lot of these, and they are among the most appreciated jobs we do.
Resale matters too. National Association of Home Builders survey data places walk-in closets among the top-three most-wanted features in a primary suite. In a city where much of the competing inventory still has its original 1980s closet, a redesigned one photographs like a different house.
Walk-In Closet Designs
A walk-in closet rebuilds the room around how you actually use clothing. You walk in, see every garment, reach every item without moving anything else, and have a designated place for shoes, accessories, laundry, and seasonal storage. Our Chandler walk-in systems include double-hang sections for shirts and pants, single-hang for dresses, drawer banks for folded goods, shoe shelves with adjustable spacing, and open shelving for handbags or display.
In Chandler’s post-2000 homes, the walk-in footprint is usually already there and simply filled with wire shelving. Those are straightforward rebuilds. In the 1970s and 1980s stock, the primary closet is often a large reach-in or a small walk-in that can be pushed further than the owner expects once we take the full wall height into account.
For larger walk-ins, common in the Ocotillo and Fulton Ranch estate tier, we build islands with drawer storage on all four sides and a quartz top that doubles as a folding station. Islands work well at 200 square feet and up. Below that footprint, a wall-hung folding counter with deep drawers usually delivers more usable storage per dollar.
One material note specific to Chandler. Homes in Ocotillo and Fulton Ranch sit against water, and the humidity near a 28-acre lake system is not what the rest of the desert deals with. For those installations we specify sealed, moisture-aware materials rather than anything that swells when the air gets damp. Thermally fused melamine handles that range without complaint.
His & Hers Configurations
Shared primary closets are the norm in Chandler’s larger homes, and a good design splits the room into two clear zones. We divide hanging height, drawer banks, and shoe shelving so each person gets defined territory rather than a standing negotiation. His-and-hers layouts also let us tune the details: deeper drawers on one side, more long-hang on the other, a valet rod where someone dresses early for a shift at one of the Price Corridor campuses.
Reach-In Closet Solutions
Reach-in closets show up in Chandler’s secondary bedrooms, kids’ rooms, Sun Lakes single-level homes, and nearly every downtown historic house. The builder version is almost always the same. One rod, one shelf, bifold or sliding doors, and 24 inches of depth the wardrobe never quite uses. Wasted vertical, dead floor.
A custom reach-in rebuild uses every inch from floor to ceiling. Double-hang sections instantly double the hanging capacity. Drawer banks at the bottom replace the floor pile. A top shelf or two reaches into ceiling height that has been sitting empty since the house was built. In the tighter homes near Chandler Square, this is often the difference between a closet that holds a season and a closet that holds a wardrobe.
In Sun Lakes and other single-level homes, we shift the whole system down. Primary hanging drops to a reachable height, drawers replace high shelving for anything used weekly, and a pull-down rod handles the top zone so nothing requires climbing. Same components, different priorities.
Luxury Closet Features
Luxury closets layer in the details that move a closet from functional storage to a designed room. Lighted hanging rods with integrated LED strips. Glass-front drawers for jewelry and accessories. Pull-out tie and belt racks. Velvet-lined drawers. Mirrored islands. Built-in hampers that catch the load before it reaches the bedroom floor.
Glass-front cabinetry is the most-requested feature in Ocotillo and Fulton Ranch renovations. It turns a closet into a display space and works particularly well for handbags, hats, and shoe collections. Tempered safety glass and soft-close hinges, so the doors settle without slamming.
Lighting Packages
Lighting is the feature that consistently surprises clients. A well-lit closet with 4000K LED on motion sensors costs less than $400 to add to most installations and changes the feel of the room more than almost any other detail. Energy draw is negligible, which matters in July when an SRP bill needs no extra help.
Island & Seating Options
In the larger Ocotillo and Fulton Ranch dressing rooms, an island anchors the space and adds drawer storage on all four sides. We finish the top in quartz so it works as a folding and packing station, and we can add a built-in bench or seating nook where the footprint allows. Below 200 square feet, we usually steer clients toward a folding counter instead, since it buys more real storage per dollar. In Sun Lakes builds, a seated dressing station is often more useful than an island.
Shoe & Handbag Storage
Shoe and handbag storage gets its own zone in a luxury build. Adjustable angled shoe shelves, open cubbies sized for handbags, and dedicated display shelving for the pieces worth seeing. For collectors, we add glass-front cabinets that keep dust off without hiding the collection.
Jewelry Drawer Inserts
Jewelry drawer inserts protect the small, valuable things. Felt-lined trays with sized compartments, ring rolls, and necklace bars keep pieces separated and visible. We can pair them with glass tops so you see the layout at a glance, and with a concealed safe built into a drawer bank when security matters.
Materials & Color Options
Our standard system is thermally fused melamine, which holds color and dimension across the heat and humidity swings a Chandler closet actually sees. Finishes run from clean whites and warm woodgrains to deeper contemporary tones, with matching or contrasting drawer fronts. Lake-adjacent closets in Ocotillo and Fulton Ranch get sealed, moisture-aware specs as a matter of course.
Hardware & Accessories
Specialty hardware rounds out the package. Pull-out valet rods. Tilting hampers. Pull-out tie and belt racks. Soft-close drawer glides on every bank. Pull-down closet rods where reach is a consideration. None of it is strictly necessary. All of it gets noticed the first week you live with the closet.

Our Design & Installation Process
The design process is built to remove the unknowns. You call or fill out the form. Within a few days, our designer visits your Chandler home, measures the closet, photographs the space, and walks through your wardrobe with you. What do you wear most? What never gets worn? The answers shape the design more than any catalog choice.
Within a week you receive a 3D rendering and a transparent quote that breaks down material, hardware, and installation. No surprise charges. Manufacturing runs 2 to 4 weeks at our Phoenix facility. Installation is half a day for a reach-in, a full day for most walk-ins, and two to three days for a luxury primary-suite build. We remove the existing shelving and old system as part of the install.
You work with the same designer from first measurement through final walk-through. The company is owned by founders Noah Peery and Jennifer Peery, who started Space Solutions in 1991 and still run it from the headquarters at 22515 N. 19th Ave. in Phoenix.
What Does a Custom Closet Cost in Chandler?
Custom closet pricing in Chandler runs across a wide range because the projects do. A kids’-room reach-in rebuild and a 240-square-foot Fulton Ranch dressing room are not the same job. Most projects land in one of three tiers.
Reach-in rebuilds run $1,800 to $4,500. Covers most secondary-bedroom and kids’-room closets across Chandler’s 1970s through 2000s homes, Sun Lakes single-level closets, and the tighter original closets downtown. Double-hang sections, adjustable shelving, a small drawer bank, and shoe storage in thermally fused melamine.
Walk-ins run $4,500 to $12,000. Covers the typical primary-suite closet in Chandler homes from the 1980s onward. Full perimeter shelving and hanging, drawer banks, a dedicated shoe section, and either a folding counter or a small island depending on footprint.
Luxury primary-suite buildouts run $15,000 to $40,000 or more. Estate-level work in Ocotillo, Fulton Ranch, and the higher-end custom homes. Island, glass-front display, lighted hanging rods, integrated hampers, and finish-grade material upgrades. Financing is available through a third-party home improvement lender for projects above $5,000.

How long does the project take?
3 to 6 weeks. Manufacturing runs 2 to 4 weeks. Installation is half a day for a reach-in, one day for a typical walk-in, and 2 to 3 days for a luxury primary-suite build.
My Chandler home is from the 1980s. Is the closet worth rebuilding?
Usually yes, and it is the most common project we run in Chandler. Closets from that era were sized for a smaller wardrobe and almost never use the available ceiling height. Most rebuilds roughly double usable hanging capacity inside the same four walls, with no construction beyond the closet itself.
Do you design closets for Sun Lakes and other single-level homes?
Yes, and we design them differently. Everything worn regularly sits between knee and shoulder height, drawers replace high shelving for weekly items, and a pull-down rod handles the top zone so nothing requires a step stool. Reach drives the layout rather than raw volume.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Financing is available through a third-party home improvement lender for projects above $5,000. Soft-credit pre-qualification takes about 5 minutes. Approved terms typically range from 12 to 84 months with no prepayment penalty.
