How It Works

01

Free Consultation & Site Visit

We come to you. During the site visit, we take measurements, talk through how you use the space, and figure out exactly what you need — and what you don’t. This is where the design actually starts, not in a catalog.

02

Custom Design & Quote

We put together a design plan and a detailed quote. You’ll know exactly what’s being built, what materials are being used, and what it costs before any work begins.

03

Installation

Most pantry and closet projects are completed in a single day. We handle everything, clean up when we’re done, and leave you with a space that’s ready to use immediately.

04

Final Walkthrough

We walk through the finished project with you before we leave. If anything needs adjusting, we take care of it on the spot.

Pantry & Closet Services We Offer

Custom Pantry Cabinets & Shelving

Whether you have a walk-in pantry that’s become a catch-all or a reach-in that’s fighting you every time you open the door, we’ll design a shelving and cabinet system that actually uses the space. Adjustable shelves, pull-out drawers for canned goods, dedicated zones for small appliances, door-mounted storage — built to fit your pantry’s exact dimensions and your household’s specific needs.

Walk-In Pantry Build-Outs

If you have a walk-in pantry that’s just wire shelving on three walls, you’re leaving a lot of potential on the table. We design and build full walk-in pantry systems with a mix of open shelving, closed cabinet storage, pull-out drawers, and counter space if the footprint allows. The goal is a pantry you can actually see into and navigate — where nothing gets lost and nothing gets wasted.

Reach-In Pantry & Cabinet Organization

Not every pantry is a walk-in, and a well-designed reach-in can work remarkably well. We build custom shelving configurations sized to your specific food storage habits — taller shelves for cereal boxes, shallower shelves so cans don’t disappear behind each other, pull-outs for the back of deep shelves. Small changes, big difference.

Custom Closet Systems

Master closets, bedroom closets, linen closets, coat closets — we build custom closet organizers that replace the single rod and one shelf that came with the house with a system that actually handles what you own. Hanging sections at the right heights, built-in drawers, shoe shelving, and accessory storage, all fitted to your closet’s dimensions.

Linen & Utility Closets

The linen closet that everyone avoids because the towels fall and nothing fits right is a fixable problem. Custom-built shelving with the right depths and heights for what you actually store there turns a frustrating closet into one that runs itself.

Why This Project Is Worth Doing Sooner Than Later

Pantry and closet projects tend to have a shorter decision cycle than kitchens or built-ins — and for good reason. The investment is more accessible, the disruption to your home is minimal, and the payoff is immediate. You use these spaces every single day, so the return on a well-built pantry or closet starts the day we finish.

  • Built to your exact dimensions

    Nothing wasted, nothing forced. Designed for your space, not a stock SKU.

  • Real materials, real joinery

    Holds weight and holds up over the years — not a laminate kit that sags by year two.

  • Finished to match your home

    Looks like it belongs in the house — not like a weekend assembly project.

  • Adds to resale value

    Buyers consistently comment on well-organized pantries and closets during showings.

custom pantry
Top Drawer has completed several projects for us and each project has been a little different. From installing custom premade closet systems to incorporating proprietary materials with a custom design, the service was consistent. With each project we began with a thorough consult, continued with steady progress and clear communication, and finished with great attention to detail and complete satisfaction. We would recommend them to anyone for any project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you serve for pantry and closet installations?

We serve Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, Elizabethton, Gray, Jonesborough, Piney Flats, Bluff City, and surrounding Northeast Tennessee communities. Call us at (423) 444-3462 if you're not sure whether we cover your area.

How long does a pantry or closet installation take?

Most pantry and closet projects are completed in one day. Larger walk-in pantry build-outs with cabinet installations may run two days. We'll give you a clear timeline at the quote stage.

What's the difference between a custom system and a store-bought organizer kit?

Store-bought kits come in fixed sizes and are built to standard dimensions that may not match your space. They're typically made from lightweight materials that struggle under real weight over time. Custom systems are built to your exact dimensions, use real materials, and are finished to look like they belong in the house — not like something you assembled on a Saturday afternoon.

Can you work with an unusual pantry or closet shape?

Yes. Odd angles, sloped ceilings, shallow depths, awkward corners — custom work handles all of it. That's often exactly why people call us rather than trying to make a kit work.

How much does a custom pantry or closet system cost?

Pantry and closet projects are among our more accessible services. A reach-in pantry or single closet system typically starts around $1,000–$3,000. A full walk-in pantry build-out with cabinets and pull-outs runs $3,500–$6,000 depending on size and complexity. A free site visit is the fastest way to get an accurate number — call (423) 444-3462.

Do you also do kitchen roll-out shelves?

Yes. If you're thinking about pantry organization, roll-out shelves for your kitchen cabinets are often a natural complement to the project.
