If you're considering a custom closet in Wisconsin, the first question is usually the same: how much is this going to cost? The honest answer is that it depends on the size of your space, the type of system, and the accessories you choose. But unlike the national franchises, we're not going to make you sit through a two-hour sales pitch before giving you a number.
Here's what custom closets actually cost in Wisconsin in 2026 — based on our real project pricing, not inflated list prices with fake discounts.
Custom Closet Pricing by Type
| Closet Type | Typical Size | Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Reach-In Closet | 3–6 linear feet | $2,500 – $4,000 |
| Walk-In Closet (Standard) | 6–10 linear feet | $5,000 – $8,000 |
| Walk-In Closet (Large/L-Shaped) | 12–20 linear feet | $8,000 – $12,000 |
| Pantry System | 3–8 linear feet | $2,500 – $5,000 |
| Laundry Room / Mudroom | 4–8 linear feet | $2,500 – $5,000 |
| Freestanding Wardrobe | Varies | $3,000 – $6,000 |
These ranges cover everything: in-home measurement, custom 3D design, all materials and hardware, professional installation, cleanup, and a lifetime structural warranty. There are no hidden fees on top of the quote you receive.
What Drives the Price Up or Down?
The biggest factor is linear footage — the total length of wall space your system covers. A 6-foot reach-in costs less than a 16-foot walk-in, which makes sense because there's physically more material and more labor involved.
Beyond size, here's what affects your price:
Accessories and add-ons
Drawers are the biggest add. Each soft-close hardwood dovetail drawer adds to the base price, but they're also the most-used feature in any closet. Other options include pull-out hampers, valet rods, belt and tie racks, jewelry inserts, LED lighting, and glass shelves. Most homeowners add 3–6 drawers and a handful of accessories.
Finish and hardware
We offer a range of finishes from classic white to warm natural wood tones to dark espresso. All finishes use thermally fused laminate on ¾" furniture-grade board — the same material regardless of color. Hardware finishes (matte black, brushed nickel, brass) don't typically change the price much.
System type
Wall-mounted systems and built-in (floor-to-ceiling) systems are priced similarly per linear foot. Freestanding wardrobes can run slightly higher because they're fully enclosed standalone units.
How We Compare to the Big-Box Franchises
A recent quote from a national big-box retailer for a standard walk-in closet came in at $14,587 list price. After a 20% "discount" — which was only valid if the homeowner paid in full within 48 hours — the final price was $11,795, with 100% due upfront.
Our price for the same closet: approximately $9,750, with a 50/50 deposit split, a 60-day price lock, and financing as low as $73/month.
We use the same grade of materials as the franchise companies — USA-manufactured ¾" furniture-grade board with thermally fused laminate and hardwood dovetail drawers. The difference is that we don't have franchise fees, national advertising budgets, or layers of corporate overhead built into our pricing. You work with one local team from design to installation, and the price reflects the actual cost of materials and labor.
Financing Options
Not everyone wants to write a $5,000–$10,000 check, and you shouldn't have to. We partner with Acorn Finance, a lending marketplace that lets you check rates from multiple lenders in 60 seconds — with no impact to your credit score.
For a typical walk-in closet financed at 50% ($4,875), monthly payments start as low as $73/month depending on the lender and term you choose. You'll see your real rate before you commit to anything.
