30 Years of Merging Human-Centrism with Cutting-Edge Solutions: How LB Closets Redefined Storage Spaces

LB Closets is a prime destination for homeowners in Tempe, Arizona, looking to elevate their living spaces with customizable, high-quality storage spaces. From walk-in luxurious closets to functional kitchen pantries and dexterous garage organization systems, this family-run business addresses all needs, each one as unique as the client. During its journey, the company expanded not only its product range but also its geographical reach, now serving virtually all towns and cities from Flagstaff to Prescott, to Pheonix, all the way south to Tucson.  

Founded by Lance Bevans in 1996 as L&B Closets, the company is built by passionate, value-driven individuals with more than 30 years of collective industry experience. Inspired by Lance’s old-school philosophy of integrity, honesty, and human appreciation, the company expanded from a local sensation into a widely recognized name in the field, a testament to its construction and design aptness and customer-centrism. 

Though it evolved remarkably from its grassroots days, eventually changing its name to LB Closets, the enterprise never lost its tight-knit family essence. “We’re a locally-owned, locally-operated business, and that will never change,” stresses Katrina Wright, COO. “We want to invest in the community that helped us grow, care for employees, create new jobs and opportunities, and build storage spaces clients dream of. No monetary gains compare to the sense of pride we feel when we make the world around us better.” 

To illustrate the long-lasting relationships LB Closets forges with customers, Brando Salazar, current owner, says: “I’ve been working at LB Closets since 2017, and the clients we have now are often the same ones we had 8 years ago, or even before that. We receive many calls asking us to revamp someone’s parents’, grandparents’, or friends’ house, and it’s the biggest compliment we could ask for. If you feel comfortable recommending us to a loved one, we did our job right.” 

While the company’s foundation is deeply rooted in tradition, Lance - and now Brando - have always been motivated to improve, welcome innovation, and implement fresh strategies, creating a perfect balance between agility and old-school values. With that approach, the company survived the harrowing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, experiencing no significant halts, complications, or delays. 

As demand for LB Closets’ tailored solutions grew, the company kept adapting to customer needs, rapidly expanding and swiftly improving its services. More than individual homeowners, the business has also partnered with major remodeling companies, assisting them during the creation of luxury high-rise buildings. To address the needs of new owners, LB Closets curated various packages, allowing future tenants to customize their built-in storage spaces to personal needs and preferences, both visual and practical.
