Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight can your custom pantry shelves hold safely?
Our pantry shelves are built to hold 50-75 pounds per linear foot depending on shelf depth and span. We use thick plywood construction and proper support brackets that handle heavy items like bulk flour, canned goods, and small appliances without sagging.
Can you build pantry storage in unusual spaces like under stairs or narrow closets?
Yes, we specialize in maximizing awkward spaces and regularly build custom pantry systems in under-stair areas, narrow hallways, and oddly shaped closets. Custom construction allows us to use every available inch regardless of your space's unique dimensions.
What's the difference between your pantry construction and store-bought organizers?
Our construction uses solid wood and plywood instead of particle board, includes reinforced mounting to wall studs, and is built to exact measurements for your space. Store-bought systems often waste space, sag under weight, and don't utilize full ceiling height like our custom construction.
Do you install pull-out drawers and lazy susans in pantry construction?
Yes, we regularly include pull-out drawers, lazy susans, and other specialty hardware that makes items easier to reach and organize. These features are built into the construction rather than added later, ensuring smooth operation and proper weight support.
How do you handle ventilation in pantry and storage construction?
We include proper ventilation design in enclosed pantries to prevent moisture buildup and ensure air circulation around stored food items. This includes ventilation gaps, breathable materials, and coordination with HVAC systems when necessary for optimal food storage conditions.
