Your beautifully organized home is waiting. We’ll help with your budget.
When you’re researching custom closet or storage installation costs, you’ll find prices all over the map. That’s because every project is different. A small reach-in closet in a guest bedroom costs much less than a full primary suite with an island and LED lighting.
The truth is custom storage installation costs vary quite a bit. Your final price depends on the size of your space, the materials you choose, and the features you need. But we at Portland Closet Company promise we’ll break down everything that affects your project cost for custom storage (and more) so you can plan with confidence.
So let’s dig deeper into what drives these numbers:
This is the starting point for every estimate. More space means more materials, more hardware, and more installation time. But the shape matters, too. A straightforward rectangular space is simpler to design and install than an awkward L-shaped space with angled ceilings.
Features like drawers, jewelry trays, valet rods, and built-in hampers add function (and cost). LED lighting, glass-front doors, and decorative hardware elevate the look and feel of your space.
Finishes like laminated melamine are more budget-friendly and durable while wood veneers add warmth and elegance at a higher price point. Premium finishes like textured melamine or high-gloss fall somewhere in between.
Some projects are straightforward. Others require working around existing elements, reinforcing walls for heavy cabinets, or navigating tricky electrical situations. The more complex the installation, the higher the custom storage installation cost.
Accurate measurements are the foundation of every project. When your designer visits your home, they measure carefully. Not just the width and depth, but also ceiling height, the location of outlets and switches, door swing clearances, and any architectural details that affect the design.
These measurements determine exactly how much material we need and how the components will fit together. A closet that’s 6 feet wide requires different solutions than one that’s 8 feet wide. A room with 10-foot ceilings offers opportunities for upper storage that a standard 8-foot ceiling doesn’t.
This precision is one reason custom design installation costs more than off-the-shelf solutions. But it’s also why custom solutions work better. Every piece fits perfectly because it’s built specifically for your space.
Walk-in closets are the dream for most homeowners. You have room to spread out, display your favorite items, and create a true dressing space.
Custom walk-in closet prices in Portland OR generally range from $3,500 to $15,000, depending on the size and features.
Walk-In Closet Size | Price Ranges |
Small (25-50 sq ft) | $3,500–$8,000+ |
Medium (50-80 sq ft) | $5,000–$13,000+ |
Large (80+ sq ft) | $7,000–$15,000+ |
What makes the difference between these ranges is that basic designs include hanging rods, shelving, and a few drawers. Mid-range designs add features like pull-out shoe shelves, accessory organizers, and upgraded finishes. Larger, more complex designs include elements like islands with granite tops, full LED lighting systems, and custom millwork details.
Reach-in closets are smaller, but that doesn’t mean they’re less important. A well-designed reach-in can hold just as much as a walk-in when every inch is used wisely.
Custom reach-in closet cost typically runs between $1,500 and $5,000.
Reach-In Closet Width | Price Ranges |
Small (6-8 linear ft) | $1,500–$3,500 |
Medium (8-12 linear ft) | $2,000–$5,000+ |

The garage is often the most neglected space in the home, and the one with the most potential. Garage cabinets installation cost depends on how much of your garage you want to transform and what you need to store.
Garage Project Scope | Price Ranges |
Basic slatwall and shelving (per wall) | $1,500–$5,000+ |
Cabinet system (per wall) | $3,000–$8,000+ |
Workbench with storage | $2,000–$5,000+ |
Full garage transformation | $8,000–$20,000+ |
Overhead storage systems | $1,000–$3,000 |
Your designer will plan around your vehicles, your storage needs, and your hobbies. Whether you’re a woodworker who needs a serious workbench or a family that just wants to find your camping gear without a treasure hunt, we’ll create a space that works.
Remote work has changed how we think about home offices. A well-designed office with built-in storage helps you stay focused and productive. Most projects fall between $3,000 and $10,000.
Home Office Component | Price Ranges |
Small (built-in desk with simple shelving) | $2,500–$5,000+ |
Medium (full wall unit with desk and cabinets) | $5,000–$12,000+ |
Large (executive office with multiple built-ins) | $8,000–$15,000+ |
The complexity of your work affects the design. Simple shelving and a built-in desk cost less than a full office with filing systems, display areas, credenzas, and closed storage for equipment.
Your designer will ask about your work habits, your equipment needs, and yes (your Zoom background preferences) to create a space that supports your career.
A custom pantry makes cooking and meal prep so much easier. No more digging through cluttered shelves to find what you need.
The cost to build custom shelves and storage for a pantry typically ranges from $2,000 to $7,000.
Pantry Size | Price Ranges |
Small (walk-in or reach-in) | $2,000–$5,000+ |
Medium (butler’s pantry) | $3,500–$7,000+ |
Large (walk-in pantry) | $5,000–$10,000+ |
Because pantries are usually smaller spaces, the design process moves quickly. But the details matter.
Your designer needs to understand how you shop and cook. Do you buy in bulk? Do you need pull-out drawers for small appliances? Is counter space inside the pantry important to you?
These projects often involve coordination with TV mounting or sound system installation. Your designer will help schedule everything appropriately, so your new space comes together seamlessly.
Media Room Component(s) | Price Ranges |
Simple entertainment unit | $2,500–$4,500+ |
Full wall entertainment center | $5,000–$10,000+ |
Complete media room storage system | $7,000–$15,000+ |
| Murphy Bed Size | Price Ranges |
| Basic Murphy bed (queen) | $3,500–$5,000 |
| Murphy bed with side cabinets | $5,000–$9,000+ |
| Murphy bed with desk | $5,000–$6,000+ |
| Full wall unit with bed and storage | $7,000–$15,000+ |
