Multiply by levels: Shelving area is the length times the number of levels. More levels double the surface.
- 3
Apply the material rate: Wire, wood and melamine differ in price per unit. The material sets the shelving cost.
- 4
Add hardware and labor: Brackets, rods and fasteners are a fixed line, and install is per level. Use the Closet Shelving Installation Cost Calculator.
