Brothers in Design

A family bond that builds beautiful spaces and lasting trust

In a world where true gentlemen lead with integrity, strength, and a sense of purpose, the bond between brothers can be one of the most powerful forces—driving success, inspiring innovation, and shaping legacies. When those bonds are rooted in shared values and mutual respect, they create not just a business, but a family. That’s exactly what you find with Custom Closet Systems Inc., a company founded and led by three brothers whose dedication to craftsmanship and personalized service exemplifies a genuine gentleman’s spirit.

Alesandro Arguelles, the Founder and CEO, along with his brothers Emanuele Arguelles, Vice President, and Alfredo Arguelles, Senior Vice President, have crafted a reputation for transforming ordinary spaces into extraordinary reflections of their clients’ personalities—through quality, care, and a deep understanding of what it means to serve with heart.

The Inspiration Behind the Business

Alesandro’s journey into custom carpentry began at a young age. He started working in home carpentry early on and quickly realized how much he cared about quality work in every home he entered. His passion for solving problems and doing things the right way—rather than taking shortcuts—laid the foundation for what would become Custom Closet Systems. Recognizing a growing demand for durable, custom-built closets in Las Vegas, Alesandro saw an opportunity.

Reflecting on their shared journey, Alfredo explains, “Our brother Alesandro has always been committed to doing things the right way. His dedication to quality and craftsmanship inspired us all. When he decided to start this business, we knew it was more than just a venture—it was a chance to build something meaningful, rooted in integrity and excellence.” He adds, “It wasn’t an easy risk to take, but my brothers were there to take it with me.”

Family Dynamics as a Growth Catalyst

The Arguelles brothers’ dynamic is central to their success. “Our family dynamic has been one of our greatest assets,” Alfredo says. Each brother has a clearly defined role, but their collaboration and mutual support create a resilient and innovative environment. “What one of us may be missing, the other has,” he adds, emphasizing how their individual strengths complement each other. This trust and shared purpose have propelled their growth, allowing them to overcome challenges more effectively and maintain high morale—an energy that permeates their work and client relationships.

Strengths That Drive Success

Each brother brings a unique skill set to the table. Alesandro, a master carpenter, is the hands-on expert during manufacturing and installation. “His experience in craftsmanship ensures every project meets our high standards,” Alfredo notes with admiration. Emanuele, with a Master’s in architecture, creates precise digital designs using CAD software, laying the groundwork for flawless execution. Alfredo himself, also an architecture graduate with retail experience, excels at client communication and relationship building. “My role is to understand our clients’ needs and translate their vision into reality,” he explains.

Overcoming Challenges Together

One memorable challenge was integrating modern technology into their traditional craftsmanship. “In 2013, we purchased our first CNC machine,” Alfredo recalls. The transition from handcrafting to robotic manufacturing was daunting, but their combined experience and willingness to learn helped them succeed. “We believed that blending traditional skills with cutting-edge technology would elevate our quality,” he notes, and today, their innovative approach sets them apart.

Personalized Service at Every Step

What truly distinguishes Custom Closet Systems is their commitment to personalized care. “We guide our clients through every step before we even step into their homes,” Alfredo says. They utilize advanced design programs to help clients visualize their spaces, ensuring clarity and confidence from the start. Clear communication and meticulous attention to detail ensure a smooth, stress-free experience, highlighting their commitment to customer satisfaction.

A Legacy of Family and Community

Founded in 2005 by the Arguelles brothers after relocating from Detroit, the company embodies their values of hard work, integrity, and family. When Alfredo joined in 2008, he brought fresh energy and a new outlook that helped drive the company’s growth. Today, they are deeply rooted in Southern Nevada, actively contributing to the community and raising a large family with nine children among them. Their journey is a testament to a legacy built on trust, quality, and heartfelt dedication to their craft.

Brothers in design, brothers in life—Alesandro, Emanuele, and Alfredo Arguelles continue to exemplify what it means to serve with honor, skill, and familial pride.
