It’s the first question everyone asks about custom closets: what is this going to cost? The honest answer is that it depends on the size of the space, the mix of hanging, shelving & drawers, & the finishes you choose. In Atlanta, most projects land between $500 for a simple reach-in & $10,000+ for a full master suite dressing room. This guide breaks down what actually moves the number, what you are paying for with custom closets, how built-ins & mudrooms are priced, & how to get an exact, itemized price for your home.
Custom Closet Pricing by Project Type
Every project is priced from its own measurements, but the type of space sets the baseline. Here is how common projects compare & what drives each number:
| Project Type | Typical Size | Typical Range | What Drives the Number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reach-in closet | 2 to 5 ft wide | $500-$1,500+ | Shelving vs drawers, door racks, finish |
| Small walk-in | About 4 ft x 6 ft | $1,000-$2,500+ | Layout, hanging mix, drawer count |
| Large walk-in | 6 ft x 8 ft & up | $2,000-$4,000+ | Linear footage, island, lighting |
| Master suite / dressing room | 10 ft x 10 ft & up | $4,000-$10,000+ | Islands, glass fronts, seating, lighting |
| Custom pantry | Reach-in to walk-in | $500-$5,000+ | Pull-outs, appliance garages, stone countertop |
| Laundry room | Varies by home | $500-$5,000+ | Cabinetry, hanging space, folding counter |
What Drives the Price of a Custom Closet?
- Linear footage is the single biggest factor: how much storage actually gets built. A system that wraps three walls of a walk-in closet has more to manufacture & install than a single-wall reach-in, & it is priced that way.
- Drawers vs shelving. Each drawer adds a box, a face, & Blumotion soft-close hardware, so the drawer count is one of the first places the number moves.
- Materials & finish. Door & drawer face styles (Slim Shaker, Shaker, or flat) & finish choices move the number, as do upgrades like glass fronts & crown molding.
- Accessories & extras. Islands, integrated lighting, seating, & specialty storage like lockable jewelry drawers each add real cost, & each is itemized in your proposal so you can see exactly what it contributes.
- A stone top. A granite or quartz countertop built into an island or pantry is priced by the stone & the size of the surface, fabricated by our own shop rather than a third party.
Custom Closets: What Are You Paying For?
Modular kits come in stock sizes that fit the store aisle rather than your wall, & installation is usually on you. For a simple refresh, that can be enough.
A Top South closet is planned around your walls & your wardrobe. Design, manufacturing, & installation all happen in one Marietta company, & your quote is itemized per room so you can see where every dollar goes.
Built-Ins, Mudrooms & Home Offices
The same shop builds storage for the rest of the house, & it is priced the same way: by how much gets built, the mix of shelving, drawers & doors, the finish, & extras like lighting or a stone top.
- Built-ins & bookcases: library walls, media & fireplace walls, home office built-ins, & window seats with storage underneath.
- Laundry rooms & mudrooms: folding counters, hanging space, & mudroom lockers, benches & drop zones by the door.
What Is Included in a Top South Quote?
Every proposal is itemized per room & includes the in-home design session, the digital 3D preview with wall elevations & a full material specification, all materials & hardware, manufacturing in our Marietta facility, & installation by our own crews.
