Founder & CEO – Matthew Donovan
The Story
I help my clients stand out — and they help me grow.
Founded by Matthew “Closet Guy” Donovan, I draw upon more than 13 years of hands-on experience in the custom closet and storage industry. After working with five companies over 12 years, I set out to create a more personal, responsive, and value-driven service for homeowners, architects, and builders seeking custom closet design, home organization systems, and professional closet installation in the Lower Hudson Valley.
Today, I specialize in walk-in closet storage systems, reach-in closets, pantry shelving design, garage storage solutions, mudroom storage design, and custom linen closet design — delivering tailored closet storage solutions that maximize functionality, organization, and long-term value.
The Mission
My Production Partners and I stand for exceptional and functional design, honest communication, and timely execution of professionally installed custom closet and home storage solutions. Using high quality closet materials, custom melamine closets, thermally fused laminate closets, and wood closet systems, we create durable, beautiful results built to last.
Our goal is to help your projects stand out in a competitive market by adding functional, well-designed closet & pantry organization systems that resonate with today’s buyers and elevate property value.
Team
Once your project is approved, your order is placed and materials are secured to move quickly into production. The selected Production Partner collaborates seamlessly to deliver expert craftsmanship, custom closet shelving, and detailed installation with white-glove service — ensuring a smooth process from closet space planning through final professional closet installation.
The result is refined, high-performance storage design — without the stress.
