Budget-friendly Closet Makeover with Closet Evolution
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- This video shows a budget-friendly closet makeover where I transform a small walk-in closet from wire shelving to Closet Evolution organizers from Home Depot. The total cost of this project was a little over $1,000 (with a Home Depot coupon), which is a huge savings over a professional closet installer.

Just saying thanks for now helping me twice. Did this system in our apartment in NJ a couple years ago and watched your video for sanity and guidance. Was happy enough with the systems that I'm doing all four closets in my new house in MI and came across your video again. With me doing drawers and everything this time, totally with the rewatch. Have a great day!
Coincidentally, I moved into a new house in January 2024 and did two closets with this exact system!
You re a great teacher. A very enjoyable video.
Thanks so much ☺️
My wife and I are seriously considering moving back to Jersey! With the home prices the way they are now, likely gonna have to buy something that’s gonna need some help. This looks like a awesome and cost effective solution to seriously upgrade closet space! Will definitely show this to my wife!
I never heard of anyone moving BACK to New Jersey! You may be the first.
@@handydadtv LOL! Our family thinks we are crazy!
This was so fantastic! Extremely helpful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thanks so much for posting!
My pleasure. Thanks so much. 😊
Installed these the house we built 15 years ago, held up very well. Geez! You guys have A LOT of clothes! 😊
I thought about artificially thinning the contents to make it look bigger, but nope. My channel is the real deal.
This is very timely video. We are needing to do some similar things in a few of our closets but I didn't know if I should go with a product like this or build something. Great video, Chris!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks Ben.
Awesome dad right here 👏
Thanks 😊
Just looked at the prices. Very tempting. I only have simple closets in my bedrooms, so I could get away with a single unit in each. They'd be a big step up from the DIY shelves the previous owner put in there.
Start with one and see how you like it.
Very helpful, thank you! I just ordered components from the Closet Evolution line last night and after watching your video, feel better about tackling this job myself! 👏
Good choice. We still love the closet!
I have used those zip ties wall anchors before, depending which ones you get they can hold a lot of weight. I used them to hang a 50” tv , very quick and easy to use. Found them by just coincidence looking for drywall anchors with higher weight rating.
Yes! They are strong like toggle bolts but you can remove and reinstall them.
This was GREAT, I've been thinking about doing this since we moved into our house. The system if you just look at it can be overwhelming. I'm glad I found your video 😀😀👋👋
Their online design tool is handy even if you don’t end up getting the same exact products. The website doesn’t show the same kits they sell at Home Depot.
As many closet videos as I’ve searched for, this was in my recommendations today. Great job. New subber
Thanks for subscribing! Welcome to the family!
First! Looks good! That's a fantastic upgrade for only $1000. My house came with similar closet organizers in every closet, but I almost wish they wouldn't have so that I could configure them myself. I definitely would have made different decisions than the builder did...
You can always redo what’s there over time. Choose your priorities.
Those cool wall anchors are actually toggle bolts.
I found them called “zip toggle anchors”.
@@handydadtv Yes! Those things are the bomb diggity! Just hung a big TV with some the other day.
I hope you found a stud as well. They’re good but I wouldn’t trust drywall to hold a TV.
@@handydadtv Have you bought a TV lately? A 50" TV is only like 30 pounds LOL.
I guess I’m old school.
Thanks for Video. My house has the same builder closet setup and i have started ordering the Closet evolution hanging system, your video is super helpful for installation !
Glad it was helpful
@@handydadtv noticed at 1:50, you have a paper design printout, does home depot have a pre-design like Ikea? i cant seem to locate it on their site. thank you
That was from Closet Evolutions’ site.
Great video - thanks for posting! Just about to install and you probably saved me some time. 👍🏻
You’ll love it.
Great job! It looks terrific!
Thanks so much 😊
nicely done
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
Huge help. Thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
Thank you for posting this as there’s nothing about the installation video on Closet Evolution system selling by Home Depot. On shortening the hanging rod and the board to fit in a space where it’s less than 25” on width, can you tell us how did you cut the laminated board although you did show us cutting the rod?
I used a circular saw to cut the top shelves to length. I use masking tape to minimize the chipping.
Hello, we are doing our install now so I’m studying your video pretty much frame by frame 😁. I have one question- on your wife’s side is the wide unit with the drawers in the middle. Where did you put the support cleat for that one? Is it behind the drawers or underneath the whole thing? Hope that makes sense. Thanks again, this is a super helpful video.
The supports only go under the cabinet units. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
thanks for the video, good info on this setup
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
Those shoe shelves. You screw them in the back and they lean forward. Lol chris!
OMG 😱 total accident.
@@handydadtv i loved it. I knew it was unbeknownst to you at the time which made it that much more hilarious! You da man!
Oh snap… I have that green shirt that you have from Express lol.
I won’t tell.
This is very helpful. Thanks for putting this together.
I have a couple of questions: we only have to use hollow anchors if the vertical panels are 3 inches away from a stud, correct?
Also, do you have a link to the clamp you used for the laser level?
I don’t remember verbatim so you should definitely verify with the instructions. But I’m pretty sure you are correct.
No link. Sorry.
Looks great! Thank you for the video! I’ll be doing an install one of these days coming up. Approximately how long did it take you from start to finish?
I did it over a weekend.
Thanks for the video really helped
Great! I highly recommend this product.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Love it ❤
It’s a good system. No issues so far.
Any ideas what those snap in rawl plugs are called? They are so cool.
Can you get them in the UK or are the a US thing??
Cheers Handyman
Stay safe and healthy 👍🏻
They are called “zip toggle anchors”. Not sure if they are available in the UK.
@@handydadtv thank you for your rapid reply.
Stay healthy 👍🏻
@@handydadtv found them no problem but any ideas what are best for interior brick walls as we only have one dry wall in our 3 bed room house…..
You can imagine the holes been drilled over the years.
Thanks for your time
Stay safe and healthy 👍🏻
If I had brick walls, I would avoid hanging anything heavy. The heaviest thing I’ve hung on brick was a TV: ruclips.net/video/bvD9U8LLLNA/видео.html
How many drawers came with the item and how many could you add. Are there any fixed shelves that would impact size or quantity? Great video by the way!
The big units have fixed shelves at the top, bottom and middle. You should check out their website for drawer options because there are different sizes. Obviously you can’t have as many of you only do deep drawers.
The directions say not to hang a panel over a screw. Did you find that it made any difference when you were hanging your panels, especially when it was against the wall?
The screw head sticks out slightly so I guess that’s why you shouldn’t put a panel on a screw. I avoided that.
Great video. What is the depth/width of the closet? Meaning how far does it come out from the wall?
The website handydad.tv/ql3k has all dimensions, but it looks like the depth is 14 inches.
Thanks for the video. How is that second rail installed below the shelf? It appeared that you attached to the wall after the tower was hung on the rail. Could not figure out how that adds support. Appreciate the help. Thanks.
It’s just a support under the fixed shelf that is screwed into studs. It shares the load off the top rail.
Nice, thanks for the video. What did you do to the holes that securing previous rack?
Filled them with spackle.
@@handydadtv thanks!
How high on the wall did you place your long metal bracket that the closet system hangs on?
About 80” off the floor. Remember I have 9’ ceilings.
Hi. thank you for your video, its very clear your instructions. im thinking of getting it for my closet. do you still like it after ten months? is it still holding well?
Oh yeah we love that closet. Everything has held up well. Nothing fell off the wall. 😉
@@handydadtv Glad to hear. Thank you.
The closet looks great. Can you tell me the dimensions of your closet.
96 x 80 inches
Is there a spot on Home Depot app to print your plans out like that or to plan it al out? Great video
Closet Evolutions has a planner on their website.
thanks for the video I just ordered for the master, did it come with those toggle bolts?
Yes, those anchors were included.
I bought this system, then discovered there are metal studs in my closet. Any difficulty attaching to metal studs? Would you recommend a 1x4 strip around the top (where the metal strip goes) to attach and another to balance the bottom?
Tough call. I suggest you contact the manufacturer before assembling anything.
Were you able to put your closet measurements into some kind of database prior to ordering everything? I was looking online and thought that I could do that based on the plans that you had printed out in the beginning of the video. Did you do it online or in the store? Thanks for you time.
There is a design tool on Closet Evolution’s website. They didn’t have the same products as Home Depot, but the measurements are the same. And it was easier than graph paper.
I need help!! So the top shelves only have pins. Did you find that placing any weight on them caused them to fall or pull on to self when you did place something up there. My husband screwed them in so now none of the other shelves are even...🤬😒🤐
I didn’t need to screw all of mine in.
The Target Route is cheaper
You get what you pay for.
