If you have someone on your holiday gift list that is hard to buy for, think about giving the gift of a beautifully organized home. After the rush of the holidays, organization for a closet, pantry, office or garage is a gift that keeps on giving through the year, bringing peace and efficiency to everyday life.
Home interior remodeling often includes redesigning storage and closed off spaces into more organized and spatially conscience areas, where household items can be stored more efficiently and comfortably. When most new homes are built, closets, pantries and storage spaces are built at a very basic level, with little to no imagination.
Locally owned Oregonized Closets, LLC, specializes in remodeling basic storage areas into appealing and functional spaces. “Although our company does have the word ‘closets’ in the name, we do much more than that,” states owner and operator Grant McDonald. “We also offer storage solutions for pantries, mudrooms, garages and more.”
While closets are the most common service requested, garage cabinetry and storage systems are also in high demand. “We believe this is because of all of the outdoor equipment and toys we have as Central Oregonians,” McDonald explains. “I love coming into a garage and building out a great system that not only looks awesome but functions well.”
Owners Grant and Chyenne McDonald, both native Oregonians, met at OSU Cascades in Bend. Working with a Bend contractor during college, Grant participated in home remodels and house flipping which laid the foundation for his knowledge in construction. After graduation, the couple lived in Montana for a year. During this time, Grant found his passion in designing luxury closets and storage systems.
The McDonald’s soon returned to Central Oregon to be closer to family and Oregonized Closets, LLC was born. “We were familiar with the building industry in Bend and the constant flow of people moving into the area. We knew that starting a company while also moving could be a stressful situation, but we asked ourselves, if not now, when?” notes McDonald.
The Process
Oregonized Closets uses a five-step, detailed process for all projects, big and small.
From owners Grant and Chyenne McDonald:
1. The first phase is the consultation with our customer to discuss the vision for the project, how to use the space and the budget.
2. Second is the design phase. This goes on behind the scenes. Most designs are completed and returned to the customer the next business day. Larger and more intricate designs may take a bit longer. When the design is complete, 3D images, plans, and details are sent to our customer via email.
3. The third phase is discussing the design with our customer. This can be as simple as “looks good, let’s move forward,” or we can meet several more times to discuss alternate options.
4. The fourth phase is when our customer accepts the design and price. Now materials are ordered and the job is scheduled.
5. The fifth phase is installation. This is where the ideas and design come to life. Following installation, we walk the customer through the finished project.
“We truly value our customers and their support of our small, family owned and operated business. One of our top priorities is to provide excellent communication and keep our customers informed during the entire process,” McDonald states. “With our business you will truly get the “local” experience as we work directly with our customers start to finish. We would love to shake your hand and show you how we can transform your space.”
