Closets Closets Closets: How Closet America Impressed the Modern DC Family

4 minute read, by Closet America, on Jan 12, 2018

The secret to Closet America’s success lies in our award-winning customer service and the trust we’ve earned from our local clients.

As closet design experts, we have obviously been following the progress of ABC’s hit family comedy Modern Family ever since it began—for market research purposes, of course! Jokes aside, at Closet America we have loved following the saga of Jay Pritchett and his rival Earl because, thanks to its stellar writing, the show shines a hilarious light on the industry we know and love. The closet companies in Modern Family’s LA are a little absurd at first glance, but it’s still an honor to have our industry showcased in a smash hit TV series.

Closet America may not have truly stunning 80s commercials to showcase—and of course, we don’t sell blinds. But in all the ways that count, our design process is at the forefront of the modern family closet industry. With our award-winning service, consistently great reviews, and state of the art processes, we are proud to be a custom closet company that local DC area families trust. Read on to get deeper into what Closet America’s clients say about their favorite design company.

Award Winners All Around

The world took notice of Modern Family right from the first season. The show earned an incredible 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, a feat of true excellence in today’s vast internet marketplace. The show continued to rise in acclaim and popularity, earning 22 Emmy awards and 1 Golden Globe to date. That’s an incredible measure of success for a mockumentary sitcom.

Closet America hasn’t won any red carpet nominations (yet), but we are incredibly proud to share an equally impressive lineup of awards for our service, quality, and product. And like Modern Family, the awards just keep rolling in for us as the years pass. Here’s just a sampling of the acclaim that Closet America has garnered in the last couple of years:

  • The Washington Post named Closet America one of 2017’s Top Workplaces

  • We’ve earned the Angie’s List Super Service Award for 6 years running

  • Closet America has been awarded the prestigious Guildmaster Award for exceptional customer service and satisfaction from 2011-present

While we were sad to see critics less enthralled with the Pritchetts as later seasons released, Closet America has continued to rise in reputation every year we’re in business. Two of our recent five-star customer reviews from Yelp exemplify why:

Alesha Y. Washington, DC, on May 31, 2017 (5 stars)
“CA is great! My overall experience was amazing from the start to finish. My Rep Jennifer F. was pleasant and quite knowledgeable of their products. The install guy Roy and his assistant were great as well. Highly recommended COA to any of my friends and family! It’s a must have for all women! Men too…” 

Teresa S. Washington, DC, on May 30, 2017 (5 stars)
“They exceeded my expectations. I’m very pleased with the results. It was a delight to work with the consultant, she was wonderful.”

Standing up to the Competition

The rivalry between fictional closet magnates Jay and Earl makes us laugh endlessly. At Closet America, we don’t spend too much time comparing ourselves to big box and prefabricated closet companies because what we do is truly unique. And in the world that spawned both Closetfornia and Closets Closets Closets, that’s saying something.

From German engineering principles to our stellar in person design consultations and our full in-house manufacturing and installation, we offer the total package. Our custom designed products are a perfect fit because of our detail-oriented approach to every aspect of business, so there’s really no danger of another company catching on and stealing our “Sock and Roll” idea. As crazy as their 80’s slogan sounded, it’s true that when you get a closet from us, you’ll love it:

In this day and age of mediocrity, I cannot say enough fine things about Closet America. My designer made everything easy and fun. The quality of materials is first rate. The installers were punctual, courteous, and expert at their job. In less than 4 hours they finished.

I have friends who have used other companies. There were different crews and they worked slowly, and had to come to her house SEVEN times to fix mistakes. NOT so with Closet America! They were punctual, expert, and fantastic to deal with from the first day on. Highly recommended. PLUS–I have more room in my reach in closet for my husband and I with extra space to spare!

New closets are amazing! My husband was kinda dreading the ‘process’ but after the consultant left, he said it was awesome and was so excited to get them installed. Installers showed up when they said they would, were very tidy and professional, and did a great job. Quality is amazing. SO glad we invested in these closets. Had we done them ourselves through a store or something, I know (and have seen) the quality isn’t as great. I know these were made well, installed perfectly, and I am so happy with the whole process!

To get started, schedule your free design consultation with one of our design experts. We will travel directly to your home in the DC metro area to take measurements and discuss your custom organization aspirations.
