    Advertising Review:

    On 7/18/2023, the Better Business Bureau contacted the business as advertises the term “licensed” in the July 2023 of The Home Mag Houston.  Licensing information for this type of trade could not be confirmed.  This would be a violation of the BBB Code of Advertising, with the standard referenced below:

    1. Basic Principles of the Code

    1.1 The primary responsibility for truthful and non-deceptive advertising rests with the advertiser. Advertisers should be prepared to substantiate any objective claims or offers made before publication or broadcast. Upon request, they should present such substantiation promptly to the advertising medium or BBB.

    1.2 Advertisements which are untrue, misleading, deceptive, fraudulent, falsely disparaging of competitors, or insincere offers to sell, shall not be used.

    1.3 An advertisement as a whole may be misleading by implication, although every sentence separately considered may be literally true.

    1.4 Misrepresentation may result not only from direct statements, but by omitting or obscuring a material fact.

    I called Closets by Design in June of 2022. The designed came to my house for an appointment on June 13. I met with Brenda while she took measurements and listened to my requirements. We spoke by phone and text a few times to get things settled on our closets. There was a lot of pressure to finish because a sale was ending soon. I signed a contract on July 8, and paid the 50% down as requested by putting my credit card number in the contract as required. We did not get a scheduled date for installation until August 3. The understanding was that it would take 1 installation visit and possibly two, but no more than that to complete the closets. Josh the installer was to arrive at 10 on August 4. Around noon we received a call that the installer had a flat tire. They ultimately arrived at 3 PM. After this it took 4 more appointments with missing tools and parts as the culprit and the closets are still not finished. At this point, I stated that I was displeased with the amount of trips and visits and the installer telling me that the deco cabinet fronts and drawers were not going to be installed for at least 3-4 months, if not longer. It appeared that I had been charged the entire amount for the closets as of August 8. Meanwhile, on September 5, my bank statement arrived and listed 7 charges to the account totaling $12,802. The contract amount was for $10,802. I called and spoke to Sarah who admitted accounting made a mistake but fixed it. My bank statements showed only the seven deductions and no credits. Immediately, I sent screen shots of the error and continued to ask about when my closets would be finished. After several days of back and forth and being passed to a new person and told that accounting was aware of my concern and would get back to me when they can. I finally said I needed to know what the plan would be to refund the overcharge and finish the closets. I got no response and haven't heard from anyone since despite voicemail, texts and emails sent.

    I do not recommend this company. I placed my order two years ago for cabinets for my garage and the accessory kit for hanging tools. The installers delivered and installed the cabinets, but to this day, still have not made good on the purchase of the accessory kit. A total scam job. Sarah is a joke. She does not return calls and refuses to refund my money. The few times I was able to talk to her, she was rude and inconsiderate. No customer service skills at all. This company is a scam.
