What a custom closet actually costs in Columbus
September 12, 2025 · Cap City Closets
Most custom closets we build at Cap City Closets in Columbus run about $5,000–$12,000, with smaller reach-in systems starting lower. The number depends on three things: the size of the room, the material spec, and the accessories.
What drives the price
- ·Linear footage of cabinetry — the single biggest variable.
- ·Material spec: melamine vs. premium thermofoil vs. wood-veneer panels.
- ·Drawers — soft-close drawers are the most labor-intensive component.
- ·Accessories — jewelry inserts, valet rods, pull-out hampers, LED lighting.
- ·Finish — paint-grade vs. stain-grade, edge-banding profile, hardware.
Where to save without dropping quality
We offer multiple product lines for a reason. A well-designed melamine system with smart accessories will out-organize a poorly-designed wood-veneer one every time. We'll show you both at the showroom and quote each line.
What's free
The in-home consultation, the measurement, the 3D design at our showroom, and the revisions are all free. You don't pay anything until you sign off on a final design and quote.
