Stoney Creek is mostly newer housing with tall ceilings and closets that stop at seven feet. We use the height the builder left behind — designed online, priced before anyone visits.
Stoney Creek has grown substantially since amalgamation, and most of that growth is recent. The subdivisions on the mountain above the escarpment and out toward Winona are largely 2000s and newer, which means an unusually consistent starting point: well-proportioned bedrooms, ceilings of nine feet or more on the main floor, and closets finished with a single rod and a single wire shelf at roughly seven feet.
That consistency makes the opportunity easy to describe. The floor area of the closet is rarely the problem — the unused band above the shelf is. In a newer Stoney Creek home that band is two to three feet deep across every closet in the house, and it is the cheapest storage available because the space is already there and already paid for. Carrying shelving to the ceiling, splitting the hanging into short and long zones, and adding a drawer bank inside the closet is usually enough to get the bedroom furniture back down to a bed and nightstands.
The older parts of Stoney Creek work differently. The original downtown and the established streets near the lake include homes going back decades, with shallower closets and openings that do not match modern standards. Those get measured individually, and where the depth is genuinely not there, a built-in wardrobe on an adjacent wall adds more usable storage than anything squeezed into the original closet.
Because so much of the area went up in the same period, the same three or four issues repeat from street to street.
The builder stopped at about seven feet regardless of the ceiling height above. That band of unused space exists in every closet in the house.
The earlier Stoney Creek subdivisions are now well past the point where vinyl-coated wire starts to sag and hangers slide to the middle of every span.
A single rail forces shirts, coats and dresses to share one vertical zone. Splitting it is the largest capacity gain available in a standard bedroom closet.
Homes near the original downtown and the lakeshore have shallower closets that need a design built to the measured opening rather than a subdivision template.
Red Rose serves every part of Stoney Creek. These notes describe the housing stock in each area — what the closets are usually like, and what tends to be worth changing.
2000s and newer detached homes and townhomes with tall ceilings — the largest band of unused closet height in the area.
Established newer-build family streets now at the age where the original wire shelving has started to sag.
Recent subdivision growth alongside older properties, so closet openings vary considerably and are measured individually.
A mix of newer development and long-standing homes, with closet sizes that rarely match from one street to the next.
The original town core, with older homes whose closets are shallower and narrower than modern standards.
Established homes near the water where original closets are often shallow and a built-in wardrobe adds more than a retrofit.
Primary walk-ins in the mountain subdivisions and Heritage Green usually have the footprint but not the fit-out. We rebuild them as L-shaped or U-shaped systems that use every wall to the ceiling, with double hanging, long hanging for coats and drawer banks.
The core Stoney Creek project. Built to your measured opening up to 130 inches wide and up to 10 feet tall, with hanging split by garment length so a standard bedroom closet holds substantially more without changing the room.
For older homes near the original downtown and the lakeshore, a built-in wardrobe adds a full run of hanging and drawers against a flat wall. Sliding and bi-fold doors keep the swing clear in narrower bedrooms.
Mudrooms, front entries, laundry storage and entertainment walls. In a Stoney Creek family home with a garage entry, mudroom storage is usually what keeps the front hall closet from absorbing everything.
We have not published a photographed project gallery for Stoney Creek specifically. Rather than show stock photography or work from somewhere else and imply it was built here, we would rather point you at the real thing: photographed projects from real Ontario homes are on our portfolio and Instagram, and 100 customers across our Ontario service area have reviewed the work on Google.
If you would like to see examples closest to your own home type — a condo reach-in, a townhome primary closet, a full walk-in — ask when you get in touch and we will send relevant photos directly.
Pick your closet type, enter your wall dimensions, choose height and base style, then place the modules you want. It takes a few minutes and nothing is booked.
Your price updates live as you build, itemised by base system, drawers, height and base upgrades, and HST. No waiting for a callback to find out the number.
We review the design with you and confirm the real measurements in your Stoney Creek home before anything is cut, so the system fits the opening you actually have.
Your system is cut and built to those measurements in Ontario — sized to your walls rather than assembled from standard cabinet widths.
Our team removes the old shelving, patches the wall, and installs the new system. A single closet is typically a one-day install.
A 3D closet designer that prices your build as you go. You see the layout and the number before you talk to a salesperson, because there isn't one.
Every system is cut to the actual opening in your Stoney Creek home — up to 130 inches wide and 10 feet tall — so nothing is lost to filler panels.
We manufacture on our own equipment rather than importing a catalogue product, which is why non-standard widths, depths and ceiling heights are routine rather than surcharges.
Karan and Mehak oversee every project from the first call to the final install. The people who quote your closet are the people who deliver it.
Every Red Rose system carries a 2-year warranty, and because the parts are made here, a replacement is cut on the same equipment as the original.

All I can say is wow. Had a quote on a Friday late night and installed by the next Wednesday. Karan is outstanding — his attention to detail, his professionalism, and the quality of work is second to none. Highly recommend.
Super impressed with Karan and his team! Did quite a bit of research looking for the right company with the right price. Red Rose checked all the boxes. The closet looks absolutely stunning and was done quickly. Would 100% recommend.
Red Rose Custom Closets did a superb job designing and installing my custom closet — it's perfect! I needed to maximize a small space and Karan delivered exactly what I envisioned. Professional, prompt, and the quality is outstanding.
Karan from Red Rose Custom Closets was phenomenal to work with! We had 3 closets made and they are all so beautifully done. His attention to detail, quality of materials, and professionalism are unmatched. We couldn't be happier!
Newer homes are often the easiest candidates, because nothing has to be undone first. The builder closet is a rod and a shelf fixed to drywall, so removal is straightforward and the wall behind is in good condition. Doing it early also means you get the use of the storage for the whole time you are in the house rather than replacing wire that has already sagged.
A reach-in is $650 up to 49 inches wide and $750 from 50 to 96 inches, which covers nearly every bedroom closet in the area. L-shaped walk-ins open at $1,250. Drawers are $125 apiece, and building to 8, 9 or 10 feet costs proportionally more than the standard 7. All figures are before 13% HST.
In a newer Stoney Creek home, more than most people expect. The builder finishes at roughly seven feet, so with a nine-foot ceiling there is a two-foot band above every closet doing nothing. Carried across a primary walk-in and three bedrooms, that is a meaningful amount of seasonal and long-term storage that currently ends up in the basement or garage.
Yes. We remove the shelving, brackets and wall standards, patch the anchor holes, and install your new system in the same opening. The closet is usually back in use the same day. If you are repainting the interior, the window between removal and installation is the easiest time.
Yes, throughout Stoney Creek. The work differs by area — mountain subdivisions are typically straightforward wire replacements, while older lakeshore and downtown homes need more careful measuring — but both are regular projects for us.
Build your closet in the online designer and see the full price breakdown — reach-ins from $650 and walk-ins from $1,250, before 13% HST. No appointment needed to get a number.
