"He came and looked at the kitchen and bathroom gave me a figure and got paid and never came back or returned calls. He came and looked at the kitchen and bathroom, he stated that he will do everything and that everything was included, he came me a place to go and place an order for cabinets and bathroom supplies, I went and then he came back to take measurements and then stated that I would have to buy everything myself, then I said no just do the bathroom and gave him a check for 30,000. He never sent the kitchen layout and when my family looked over the contract, he stated that he had to remove counter tops and there were none to remove and the work that he was going to do was not what he stated. He texted that he was going to call me back and never did."

"Mikheil and his team were a fantastic choice for our renovation of a Brooklyn brownstone apartment. The level of finish was extremely high, and when there was a small issue with a large solid wood piece, they fixed with a beautiful butterfly piece that looked amazing. Highly reccommend."

"I first found Design Painting when I needed some repairs done after an emergency mold remediation. While Jeremy's team wasn't available in the timeframe I needed, he still spoke to me at length and offered proactive advice on how to find another vendor to meet my requirements. He was so knowledgeable and transparent that I reached out to him about 6 months later for additional work. His brilliant team repainted my kitchen, installed baseboard moulding throughout my apartment and renovated my bathroom (re-tiled, installed a new pedestal sink + toilet and repainted) - in less than three days. Jeremy was communicative throughout the process and carefully planned the work to minimize disruption to my family. The team was efficient, respectful and neat as a pin. After several disheartening experiences with contractors and other construction professionals, Jeremy and his team were a breath of fresh air. I cannot recommend them enough."

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.
