The Face Of Storage And Organization
Stacey Miller was your average messy teenager, but when it was time to get organized, she had some expert help from her father Tony Leitch, a pioneer in transforming closets in the Inland Northwest. When he and his brother-in-law Bob Mower started The Closet Guys in 1994, they introduced customizable wire shelving to homeowners and builders.
Leitch’s commitment to customers was to fulfill their every storage and organization need from kitchen pantries and bedroom closets to office file rooms. Stacey now continues that mission. The name may have changed—the sign now reads, Closets Northwest, but the quality products and service guarantee remain the same.
The designers at Closets Northwest offer custom solutions to fit every budget. They feature Rubbermaid brand systems constructed from professional-grade steel and 3/4″ thick melamine with space-saving options, like full-extension drawer glides, and accessories including tie racks, shoe fences, and baskets. There are even solutions for the garage that combine sturdy rail or wall-mounted systems with modular storage units.
“If something needs a place to go, we make it easy to put it where it needs to be,” Stacey says. Closets Northwest is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Every job is custom-designed and fabricated to maximize the usability of the client’s unique space and needs. That could be adding functionality to an overflowing pantry, converting an unused bedroom into the ultimate walk-in closet, or creating an efficient home office or inspiring playroom.
“If there’s clutter around you, then there’s clutter in your head,” points out Senior Design Consultant, Heather Lukes. “If you get organized, it’s a lot easier to take a deep breath and deal with everything else that’s going on around you,” she adds.
Making sense of the clutter is what Closets Northwest does best. They offer a free in-home consultation and estimate and also sell kits for do-it-yourselfers.
“We have options to fit any budget that will achieve the same results,” Heather says. “Large closet or small, we treat them the same.”
“We love working with homeowners to give them a design that fits their individual needs,” Stacey says. “The real reward is helping people take control of their space.”
