If you’re considering installing a custom wardrobe in your South East Queensland home or business, how do you select a reputable company who’ll do a high-quality job?
As with selecting any contractor for work that requires skilled craftsmanship, there are a few basic things to look out for to make sure you get the results you want.
As you contact companies and ask for quotes, be sure to ask the same questions to each to make it easier to evaluate credentials and price.
How much experience does the company have? What warranties and guarantees do they offer? What materials are used? Do they come to your site and evaluate the project?
Although cost will probably be a factor in your choice, a low bid may not be the best option after comparing materials, quality of workmanship and customer recommendations.
Here are several important points to consider during the selection process.
Experience
A reputable wardrobe designer will have experience with all sizes and types of built-ins, walk-ins and other storage solutions.
They should state how long they’ve been in business and provide references to customers they’ve worked for. They should provide information about the credentials of their design and construction teams.
Teams may include designers, cabinet makers and installers with years of industry experience.
The company should freely answer questions about how the wardrobes will be designed and installed. They should come to your home or business to assess the space and talk with you about your ideas and needs.
Finally, the company should offer layout solutions that meet both your storage and budget needs. They should also provide plans and diagrams that show the floor plan and elevations of the wardrobe. Ask to see a portfolio that highlights their work or review the range of imagery they provide on their website.
If you’re building a new home, the company should work with your builder to ensure that proper space is reserved for installation of the wardrobe.
If you’re renovating, it’s important to have the company’s wardrobe specialists evaluate the space and provide customised recommendations during the conceptual phase of the reno.
Materials
Wardrobes can be constructed from materials ranging from budget-friendly wire shelving to walled walk-ins with hanging systems, drawers and central buffets.
A number of timbergrains and colours should be available to match the décor of your room or business space. Drawer slides, poles, suspension components, shelving and other accessories should be of a quality to ensure ease of use past the warranty period.
Just Wardrobes & Storage uses 16mm melamine fixed to gyprock with aluminium channels. We offer melamine in several timber grain options, edgings and colours. Channels are available in classic colours that complement the melamine.
Other components are of high-quality materials to ensure you get a durable, attractive wardrobe. We also offer a full cabinetry solution with backing, installed on a kick for those that have a more generous budget to work with.
