We are affordable professionals with over 50 years of combined experience in HVAC, Plumbing, Carpentry, Painting, Home repairs, and trash outs.
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience with E & J Handyman when they came out to fix our HVAC system. From start to finish, the service was prompt, thorough, completely honest and very affordable. Ed quickly diagnosed the issue, explained everything clearly without trying to upsell unnecessary repairs. We also asked about lawn care and fixing a faucet outside, which we have also scheduled — again, a very fair price and timeline!! What really stood out was their integrity—they fixed only what was needed and got my system running smoothly again. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that genuinely puts the customer first. I highly recommend E & J Handyman to anyone looking for trustworthy HVAC/handyman services! Thank You so Much!! ~~Michelle H."

For a built-in bookshelf, always choose high-quality furniture-grade wood. Softer woods, like pine, and particle boards like MDF can sag under the weight of heavy books. Ideally, your shelves should hold 20 to 40 pounds per foot, so opt for scratch-resistant hardwood plywood or solid wood. Popular options include mahogany, cherry, koa, maple, oak, walnut, birch, and cedar.
Your built-in bookshelves should seamlessly blend into your space. Often, this means floor-to-ceiling units ending at a natural cutoff point like a door. You might also consider creating a custom corner unit or suspended units hung at eye level. If you're installing a prefabricated unit, you'll find sizes ranging from 24 to 48 inches wide, 10 to 12 inches deep, and 5 to 6 feet tall.
The installation time for built-in bookshelves depends on the complexity of the design, the size of the shelves, and the level of customization. A contractor can install a simple, prefabricated unit in a few hours, while an elaborate, custom unit could take up to a week. Installing add-ons like lighting could also extend the installation process.
