Custom Closets & Organizers in Concord, CA

Concord began on the Monte del Diablo land grant that Salvio Pacheco received in 1834. After the nearby town of Pacheco was damaged in 1868, the family had a surveyor lay out a 20-block town around their home, set aside Todos Santos Plaza as its square and offered free lots to Pacheco's merchants. A local paper praised the name Concord in April 1869, and voters approved incorporation in February 1905. Roughly three-quarters of the homes owners live in here went up between 1950 and 1979, so most closets were built to a single pattern that no longer fits.

Concord homes and what they mean for storage

• Downtown and Todos Santos Plaza: the original 1868 grid, where the oldest houses sit on the streets around the square. Closets of that age were built for far less clothing than a household keeps now, so a fitted system with drawers and two hanging levels does the work of a wardrobe and a dresser.
• Clayton Valley Highlands: the southeast streets locals call the State Streets, where building started in the 1950s and most houses went up in the 1960s, nearly all of them single story. With no upstairs to absorb the overflow, shelving carried to the ceiling and a wall of garage cabinets take the load.
• Rancho del Diablo: about 50 mid-century modern homes from the early 1960s, built post and beam with the heating in the floor slab. Storage here is planned up the walls rather than into the floor, so hanging, drawers and shelves all work off the existing wall framing.
• Monument Corridor: single-family houses and larger apartment buildings along the main roads, on streets that end in cul-de-sacs. In an apartment the bedroom reach-in is usually the only storage in the home, so it is fitted from the floor to the top of the opening.

Warranties, manuals and the folder for every appliance in the house tend to end up in a drawer nobody wants to open. A closet or cabinet with file drawers at the bottom, a shelf for binders above and a labeled box for receipts gives household paperwork one place.
