Jeremy Wisneski
Installation Manager

Jeremy brings over 10 years of closet installation experience to Artisan Custom Closets. His prior experience as a trim carpenter has truly enhanced his ability to execute every detail of your custom closet design, and make the "custom closet experience" streamlined and flawless. Jeremy says "over the past ten years, I have seen closets change dramatically." A simple shelf and rod system has evolved into elaborate space saving solutions including elegant wood stained and trimmed, floor based, closet systems. Jeremy's favorite project was working on a Habitat for Humanity home in Atlanta.
Brian Nadeau
Senior Install Professional
Artisan Custom Closets
Brian brings his 14 years of custom closet installation experience to Artisan. Arriving from Maine in 1997, Brian who's 10 years in the construction industry gave him the tools to merge into the closet industry. We never had anything like this a home, so when I started installing closets, I put everything I had into learning all there was about them. Times have changed over the years, we have so many colors to choose from and so many accessories to bring to the customer to give them that true "custom" closet. Even with all the additions we are still able to install your closet in a short amount of time. This means that you'll be able to enjoy your new closets without all the hassle of having people in your house for days. Truth is, you probably won't even notice that we are there. I have been fortunate to be able to be a part of some local celebrities closet installs, but when I'm a part of your install, you are the celebrity that day. I will give your install every bit as much attention as any celebrity has received. I look forward to seeing the look on every customer's face when they get their "dream" closet installed.
