Under-Stair Storage Build-Out

What this involves.

An under-stair storage build-out puts one of the most overlooked spaces in the house to work. We measure the angled opening, plan a layout that fits the slope, and build pull-out drawers, cabinet doors, or a tucked-in closet to match. We frame and finish the cavity, build the boxes to fit the taper of the stairs, and set everything level and solid so drawers glide and doors close clean. Trim and paint-ready surfaces tie it into the surrounding wall so it looks intentional rather than carved out. You gain real, usable storage from space that was doing nothing before.

• Measuring the angled under-stair opening and planning a layout that fits the slope
• Framing and finishing the cavity to create a clean, usable storage space
• Building pull-out drawers, cabinet doors, or a tucked-in closet to fit the taper
• Setting boxes and drawers level and solid so they glide and close clean
• Installing drawer slides, soft-close hardware, and door pulls
• Adding trim and paint-ready surfaces so the build ties into the surrounding wall
• Cleanup and a walkthrough to confirm every drawer and door operates correctly
