Custom Closets in San Francisco

About San Francisco

San Francisco houses were built for a city that kept its clothes in armoires. Victorians predate the generous built-in closet, Edwardians rose after the 1906 earthquake and fire, and the Sunset's stucco rows of the 1930s and '40s fit two bedrooms onto 25-foot lots. Closet World designs custom closets for every one of them, built in our own Southern California factory.

What San Francisco homes look like, and what that means for closets

In the Mission, Cole Valley, Alamo Square and Pacific Heights, Edwardian flats traded the Victorians' many small rooms for bigger, fewer rooms and more natural light, yet their closets stayed modest by today's standards. Out in the Sunset, Henry Doelger's houses followed a plan known locally as the junior five: two bedrooms, one bath, a garage built into the ground story and the living space above. Built to FHA specifications and nearly identical in massing, they vary mainly in their facades, which means the same storage puzzle repeats on block after block.

  • Reach-ins in flats: double-hang, shelving to the ceiling and drawers that make a shallow closet earn its keep.
  • Angled walls: systems cut to the real slope under stairs and rooflines, not a standard box.
  • Junior-five garages: that ground-floor garage is often the only spare storage in the house; garage cabinets along the walls can keep room for the car.
  • Spare rooms: a Murphy bed turns a home office into a guest room without giving up either.

How the design visit works in the city

San Francisco is served by our Northern California team at 20466 Corsair Blvd in Hayward, and your closet is built in our own Southern California factory. A designer comes to your flat or house for a free design visit, measures every wall, including the crooked ones, and designs with you on site. You get a complete in-home estimate before the designer leaves and an installation date in as little as 9 days. Our own installers carry the system up the stairs, and most closets are finished in one day. Choose from more than 20 finishes, with financing on approved credit. If your building has rules about insurance certificates, elevator bookings or work hours, mention them when you book your visit so the details are settled before install day.
