Walk-In Closets designed, built and installed for Westmount — original joinery worth matching, in houses where access is measured before anything is drawn. Our Montreal showroom on Jean-Talon Ouest is a short run north.
Quebec's winters put more into a closet than any other market we serve — parkas, boots, layers, and gear that comes home wet and salted. The dressing room has to hold two full wardrobes, one in use and one stored, and it has to handle damp without going musty. Ventilated joinery, generous long-hanging and real out-of-season storage are the difference between a closet that works in February and one that only works in July.
These are heritage-sensitive properties and the borough takes exterior work seriously. Interiors are generally unrestricted, but anything touching an elevation needs confirming first.
Old houses on a hillside means stairs, landings and turns. Access is measured before anything is engineered.
Westmount houses have original woodwork worth protecting — panelled halls, deep mouldings, built-in cabinetry that predates all of us. New work is detailed to sit beside that convincingly, which usually means matching a profile rather than introducing one.
None of this changes by location. It is the standard every walk-in closet leaves the shop to, Westmount included.
A closet is a storage problem with a fixed inventory: a specific number of long-hanging pieces, short-hanging pieces, folded items, shoes and bags. Designed against that inventory it works for years. Designed as an even grid of rails and shelves it is full within a season, which is why the first conversation is a count rather than a drawing.
Lighting sits in the shelving and behind the hanging rails, so what you are looking at is lit rather than shadowed by your own body.
Soft-close throughout, drawers rather than doors at low level, and hardware rated for the number of cycles a dressing room actually sees.
We start from what actually has to go in — long, short, folded, shoes, bags — rather than filling the room with equal shelves.

We work throughout Westmount, including upper Westmount, Victoria Village, the Boulevard and Summit Circle. The housing here is substantial Victorian, Edwardian and early-twentieth-century houses, most with original joinery still in place, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our Montreal showroom on Jean-Talon Ouest is a short run north. The showroom is at 4865 Jean-Talon O.. Visit when it suits, or start by sending the plans and we will come back with a number per room.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
Book a free 30-minute consultation with a designer who works in Westmount every week. Send the drawings if you have them — we will itemise the cabinetry by room.
