Custom closets in Manhattan.
Prewar co-ops and conversion lofts, boards and service elevators, plaster walls that are never quite square — Manhattan is the most demanding closet work in the city, and most of what we build.
More of our work is in Manhattan than anywhere else, and no two buildings ask the same thing. A prewar co-op on Park Avenue has horsehair plaster, a board to satisfy, and a service elevator booked weeks out. A Tribeca conversion loft has cast-iron columns, sixteen-foot ceilings, and no square corner to start from. A Hudson Yards tower has glass walls, a concierge, and a certificate of insurance for everything that crosses the lobby. We draw to the building, not from a catalog.
Because every closet is milled to the survey, we work with what a Manhattan apartment actually gives us — the inch stolen back from a chase, the angled wall in a maisonette, the slab door that has to read flush against the original 1920s casing. The room is measured in person, drawn in CAD, and built to those exact dimensions in the Bronx.
We carry the certificates of insurance that co-op and condo boards require, schedule the freight elevator with the building, and protect the lobby, hallway and floors before anything is carried in. The workshop is twenty minutes from most Manhattan addresses over the Willis Avenue or Third Avenue bridge, so the same crew that mills your closet installs it — we do not subcontract.
Every project is milled at the Bronx workshop — a 6,000 sq ft workshop on the East River — and installed by the same crew that built it. We do not subcontract the install.

Do you build custom closets in Manhattan?
Yes. Kloset Worx designs, mills and installs custom closets, walk-in dressing rooms, pantries and built-in storage throughout Manhattan. Every project is drawn in 3D, milled at our Bronx workshop (382 Canal Place, Mott Haven), and installed by the same crew that built it — we do not subcontract.
How much does a custom closet cost in Manhattan?
It depends on the room. A reach-in typically starts near $3,500; a walk-in dressing room usually runs in the tens of thousands; a whole-residence program starts near $300K. You receive a fixed, written quote after we measure the room in person.
Is the design consultation free?
Yes. The first visit runs about an hour — at your home or at the workshop — at no charge and with no obligation. If you go ahead, any design fee is credited to your project.
How long does a custom closet take?
Roughly two to three weeks for a reach-in, four to six for a walk-in dressing room, and ten to sixteen for a whole residence, measured from the approved drawings. Every project is backed by twenty-five years on the cabinetry and a lifetime on the joinery.
Do you handle co-op and condo board requirements?
Yes. We carry the certificates of insurance that co-op and condo boards require, schedule the freight elevator with the building in advance, and protect the lobby, hallways and floors before anything is carried in.
