Closet World designs, builds and installs custom closets, garage cabinets, Murphy beds and home offices in Oakland; a designer comes to your home, walks you through the design and gives you a complete in-home estimate and an installation date in as little as 9 days.
Oakland was incorporated as a town in 1852 and re-incorporated as a city two years later, then spread east and north as neighbouring districts joined it; in 1909 Elmhurst, Fruitvale, Melrose, Fitchburg and Claremont voted to annex. Rockridge went on sale in 1906, when the Laymance Real Estate Company divided it into Rockridge Place, Rockridge Park and Rockridge Terrace, and most of its houses were built over the following two decades. Above the lake, Crocker Highlands was laid out on winding streets that follow the contours of the hills, and Montclair's hillside subdivisions began in the 1920s on the western slope of the Oakland Hills. Homes from those years were drawn up around far fewer clothes than a household owns today, and closing that gap is the starting point for every design here.
Across Oakland's older houses, a bedroom closet is often wider or deeper than the door that opens onto it, which leaves the ends on either side of the opening out of sight and out of use. Shelves and short rods that wrap into those ends, with long hanging kept straight ahead of the door, bring the whole closet back within reach.
Oakland is part of our East Bay service area, served by Closet World Northern California in Hayward. A designer comes out for a free design visit, measures, plans the layout with you and leaves a complete in-home estimate, with installation in as little as 9 days. Systems are built in our own factory and installed by our own crews, never subcontractors, and most closets and garages are finished in one day. Every system includes a 7+ year warranty.
