WHY CHOOSE ECONIZE CLOSETS & BLINDS©
EcoNize is committed to enhancing the quality of your life as well as the value of your home.
To accomplish this, we pair outstanding products with the unique ORG Home Experience. From the initial phone call to the final installation, we ensure your experience is enjoyable and the results are remarkable. We will design a custom solution using Studio, our proprietary design software. Studio allows us to partner with you so that we can build a solution that’s uniquely yours.
Studio also enables flawless execution. After you approve the design, it is translated into an exact order, eliminating concerns about dimensional or style translations. When it comes time to install your solution, we will navigate around your schedule. Our installers are experts at their craft and treat every home as if it were their own.
What our clients are saying
Emily A.
Washington, DC
"EcoNize was great value for the price, fast and had great customer service. Meg, AJ, Steve and the rest of the team were so responsive, got creative with a nonstandard space and made sure the unit looked great from all angles. We love our new built-ins!”
Zach R.
Arlington, VA
"Steve and his crew installed a new closet system in our master bedroom. They were on-time, personable, and did great work. They did an excellent job dealing with the quirks of our old house. It was great working with this company top to bottom, from the designer to the installers. Would definitely recommend.”
Tyler W.
Leesburg, VA
"Best experience I’ve ever had with a home improvement project. AJ was incredibly professional and knew how to translate what we were trying to describe into a literal vision that he was able to show us. We sought estimates from several places and this option had the least amount of pricing gimmicks and was still the best priced option. We felt even more comfortable because we knew exactly what we were getting because of the design that was made for us. On the day of installation, Nick’s team was incredibly efficient, finished the job in just under 3 hours and we were blown away by the transformation of our closet. All around 5 out of 5 stars in every aspect..."
