About Us

For more than three decades California Closets has built a reputation on delivering truly custom products and unparalleled service to people like you. We’ve helped transform spaces, enhanced homes and allowed people to get more out of life. And as we move forward, we’re passionate about continuing to do all that and more.

We see home as more than a place. We see it as comfort and refuge, space for connection and celebration. Everything we do is designed to enhance home and help you enjoy the time you spend there. 

30 years ago, we innovated a new industry—custom designed and installed storage. Today we’re proud to be recognized as the leaders in the industry we first created all those years ago. Along the way we’ve continued to innovate, always striving to provide customers with stylish, smart and sustainable solutions for every home. 

We began by focusing on our customer’s needs and three decades later, nothing has changed. Your satisfaction remains our most important goal. We’re committed to listening to your needs, working hand-in-hand and never forgetting that it’s a true privilege to be invited into your home, and your life.  

On behalf of our family of franchisees, corporate executives, partners, and suppliers, we welcome you into our company.
