Custom Closet in Edina

We were recently contacted by a former client, Becky from Edina, for whom we had designed and installed a custom walk-in closet organization system. Becky was contacting us to say she had sold her house and the saddest part about her move was leaving her closets behind!

She wanted us to come out to her new home to design another closet organization system for her new walk-in closet. As a service company, there is no bigger compliment than having a client say they love your work so much they would like you to come back for another project. A huge thank you to Becky and our other clients for choosing Closets For Life for their home organization project

At Closets For Life, we make every effort to listen to our clients wants and needs. We give them a plan that will simplify their lives and increase the enjoyment of their home. As a local and family owned company, every job, no matter how big or small is important to us.

So, if you sold your home, what would you miss? If your answer is nothing, let Closets For Life help you change that by reinventing your closet, garage or wine cellar. Visit us at www.closetsforlife.com to get inspired and sign up for a free in-home consultation. Closets For Life can also be reached by phone at 952-484-0416 or email at rlyrek@closetsforlife.com.

C-L-O-S-E-T-S Spells Family


It is November, which means cooler temps, raking leaves and Thanksgiving, a time to reflect on what we are grateful for in our lives. For many of us, the number one thing we are thankful for is family and friends (right behind organized closets, garages and wine cellars of course).

That's true for us at Closets For Life too. We are a family owned business. Rick Lyrek started Closets For Life so he could have flexibility to focus on his family. Closets For Life custom cabinets and shelving are manufactured by Interscapes, a company owned by Rick's brother. Rick's wife, sons and father-in-law also frequently help assist him on projects when needed.

So, when you're talking about Closets For Life, C-L-O-S-E-T-S really does spell family. Rick, his family and Closets For Life were featured in an article in the Dakota County Tribune. Check out the Closets For Life website to read the article.

While you're there, look at our project photos to find some great ideas for your next custom closet, garage or wine cellar project and sign up for a free in-home consultation. Closets For Life can also be reached by phone at 952-484-0416 or email at rlyrek@closetsforlife.com.
