Vaughan homes are big enough that the closet project is rarely just one closet. We design the primary walk-in and every other bedroom as one job — priced online, built in Ontario, installed in a single visit.
Vaughan grew fast and it grew large. Patterson, Vellore Village, Maple and Thornhill are full of four- and five-bedroom detached homes with nine- and ten-foot ceilings, and the primary suites in them are substantial. What almost none of them arrived with is a closet interior that matches the house. The standard fit-out is a single rail and one shelf at roughly seven feet, which in a room with ten-foot ceilings leaves close to a third of the volume untouched.
Because the houses are large, the projects here tend to be whole-house rather than single-room. A typical Vaughan job is the primary walk-in done properly — L-shaped or U-shaped, double hanging, a shoe wall, banks of drawers, sometimes an island — plus reach-in systems in three or four other bedrooms. Doing them together matters practically: the secondary closets cost a fraction of the primary one, and scheduling them into the same install means the crew is in your home once.
Thornhill is the exception worth calling out. It is the oldest part of Vaughan, and homes there span several decades. Closet openings are less predictable, ceilings are often lower than the newer subdivisions, and a system that assumes a modern standard depth will not fit cleanly. Those get measured individually rather than specified from a plan.
The pattern is consistent across the newer subdivisions and breaks in the older ones, which is the main thing to establish before designing.
Builders finish closets at roughly seven feet regardless of the ceiling above. In a Vaughan home with nine or ten foot ceilings, that is a large band of storage nobody has ever used.
It is rarely just the primary. Four or five bedrooms means four or five builder fit-outs, and the secondary ones are usually the first to become unusable.
Vaughan primary walk-ins are frequently wide enough that a centre island fits while leaving a comfortable walkway — which is unusual and worth taking advantage of.
Older Thornhill homes have lower ceilings and non-standard openings, so the design starts from the measured wall rather than the subdivision pattern.
Red Rose serves every part of Vaughan. These notes describe the housing stock in each area — what the closets are usually like, and what tends to be worth changing.
Recent large detached homes with tall ceilings and generous primary suites, almost universally fitted with a single perimeter rail.
2000s detached and townhome streets where secondary bedroom reach-ins are typically the closets under the most pressure.
A wide age range from older village homes to newer subdivisions, so closet openings vary far more than the street frontage suggests.
The oldest part of Vaughan. Lower ceilings and non-standard openings mean systems here are measured individually rather than assumed.
A mix of established homes and newer infill, with closet sizes that rarely match from one street to the next.
Established family homes now at the age where the original wire shelving has sagged and is usually the first thing replaced.
The centrepiece of most Vaughan projects. L-shaped and U-shaped systems using every wall to the ceiling, with double hanging, long hanging for coats and dresses, a dedicated shoe run and drawer banks. Where the room is wide enough, a centre island adds drawers without narrowing the walkway.
In a five-bedroom Vaughan home these are where the storage actually runs out. Built to each measured opening up to 130 inches wide and 10 feet tall, with the hanging split by garment length so the same width holds considerably more.
For older Thornhill and Concord homes with shallow or missing closets, a built-in wardrobe adds a full run of hanging and drawers against a flat wall. Sliding and bi-fold doors recover the swing space a hinged door takes out of a smaller bedroom.
Foyers, mudrooms, laundry storage and entertainment walls. In a large Vaughan home this is how the storage that does not belong in a bedroom finally gets somewhere to live.
We have not published a photographed project gallery for Vaughan 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 Vaughan 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 Vaughan 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.

Google does not publish a location for reviewers, so these are reviews from across our Ontario service area rather than Vaughan specifically.
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!
Walk-in systems start at $1,250 for an L-shaped layout up to 120 inches of wall and $1,550 for a U-shaped layout up to 180 inches, priced per additional 24 inches beyond that. Reach-ins start at $650. Each drawer adds $125, and taking the build from 7 feet up to 8, 9 or 10 costs proportionally more. All before 13% HST. Because most Vaughan projects cover several rooms, the online designer lets you build each closet separately and see the combined total.
Yes, and it is how most Vaughan projects run. The secondary reach-ins are a small fraction of the primary walk-in cost, and scheduling them into the same install means one visit rather than several. You can also design them all online now and decide later which ones to proceed with.
Yes — we build to 10 feet, and in a Vaughan home that is usually the single largest gain available. The builder stopped at roughly seven feet, so the top two to three feet of every closet in the house is unused. Carrying shelving up recovers it, and it is the cheapest storage in the home to add because the space already exists.
It is worth it when you need drawer storage and the perimeter walls are already committed to hanging, and when the room is wide enough to keep a comfortable walkway on all sides once it is in. Vaughan primary closets are more often wide enough than most. If yours is not, a run of drawers built into one wall gives the same capacity without crowding the floor.
Yes. They need a different approach — ceilings are typically lower and the openings are not standard, so the design starts from measurements rather than from a subdivision template. Where a closet is too shallow to work with at all, a built-in wardrobe on an adjacent wall usually adds more usable storage than anything that fits inside the original opening.
Yes. The online designer covers closet type, wall dimensions, ceiling height, base style and modules, and prices live as you build. Save it, adjust it, and submit when you are ready. We confirm the real measurements before anything is manufactured, so the online design is a starting point rather than a commitment.
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.
