Your closet project in Lubbock starts with measurements taken at floor level, mid-height, and near the ceiling to identify where walls are out of plumb or where doors and trim reduce usable width. Shelves are cut to fit between walls without gaps, and rods are mounted with brackets that support the weight of hung clothing without bending. Drawers are built on slides that extend fully so you can reach items stored at the back.

Once the system is installed, you will notice that clothes stay in place instead of sliding into piles and that shoes no longer block access to items stored behind them. Shelves hold their position under weight, and rods stay level even when loaded with heavy coats or jackets.

TTT Construction uses edge banding on exposed plywood and seals wood surfaces to prevent splinters or rough spots that can snag fabric. The work does not include moving electrical outlets or installing lighting, though shelves can be spaced to leave room for battery-operated fixtures you add later. The result is a closet that makes it easier to put things away and find them again without emptying half the space first.

Homeowners in Lubbock often ask about shelf spacing, drawer sizes, and how to maximize storage in narrow closets, so the answers below address the practical decisions that affect how the finished system functions.

How far apart should closet shelves be spaced?
Shelves are typically spaced twelve to fourteen inches apart for folded clothes and sixteen to eighteen inches apart for shoes or handbags. You can adjust spacing based on the items you store most often.

What depth works best for closet shelves?
Twelve-inch-deep shelves work in narrow closets where deeper shelves would block access to hanging clothes. Sixteen-inch-deep shelves hold larger items like sweaters or storage bins without tipping forward.

How do you keep shelves from sagging in the middle?
Shelves longer than thirty-six inches are supported with a center bracket or a cleat fastened to the back wall. Thicker plywood or solid wood also resists sagging better than particleboard or thin material.

Can you add drawers to an existing closet system?
Yes, though the system must have a sturdy base or side panels that can support the drawer slides and the weight of loaded drawers. TTT Construction reinforces the structure if needed before installing new drawers.

What happens if closet walls are not square?
Shelves and panels are scribed to match the angle of the walls so gaps do not appear along the edges. In some cases, trim is added to cover small gaps where wood meets uneven surfaces.

TTT Construction measures your closet at multiple points and builds each component to fit the space without forcing pieces into place or leaving gaps that collect dust.
