Custom Closets & Organizers in Boulder City, NV

• Original townsite: the district added to the National Register in 1983, where houses from the early 1930s run from Spanish Revival cottages to plain frame houses with covered screen porches. Rooms in houses of this kind are modest, so a closet fitted with two hanging levels and a stack of drawers uses the opening better than the single rod it replaces.
• Enclosed porches: the screened porches on many of the original houses, a number of which have since been closed in to make an extra room. A closed-in porch usually arrives with no closet at all, so shallow wall cabinets and a short hanging rail can turn it into a mudroom, a pantry or a place for linens.
• Birch and Cherry Streets: single-story Spanish Ranch and Ranch houses from the late 1930s, built as cottages for the utility crews working near the dam. One closet per bedroom is the norm in a plan like that, so a hall closet fitted with ceiling-high shelves and a hanging rail takes on the coats, bedding and cleaning supplies.
• Streets built after 1960: houses added outside the original townsite once the city took over its own government. These come with a standard attached garage, which is where the most storage can be gained, with wall cabinets along one side and racks overhead.

What holds across Boulder City is a house that was built small and has been adjusted since, with porches closed in and rooms added. The historic district asks for a Certificate of Appropriateness before a porch is screened in or enclosed and before an addition goes up, so building out is a larger step there than reorganizing what is already inside the walls. A fitted closet, a hall unit or a cabinet wall gains the room without changing the outside of the house.
