"Half of my house is nearly 100 years old, and this is where the kitchen is located. I wanted to keep with the style of the era, but also get some modern updates for functionality. Cory and his team did an outstanding job. From the initial CAD drawings to the end of job tweaking and everything in between, they went above and beyond my expectations. The quality of construction and expert installation (Thank you Tommy!) on a custom job in an old home was not a simple task, but these guys give great attention to and care about the details which show up in the end result. The project was done on time. Cory had an immediate interest in hearing and understanding what I was asking for. His good and timely communication was also very appreciated. Quality workmanship. I will definitely hire again."

I work with customers to get an understanding of how they envision their kitchen space, give suggestions on improving functionality if warranted, and provide an estimate. Should you decide to progress with your project, I reface the existing cabinets with 1/4" hardwood to the front of your existing cabinets and install brand new doors and drawer fronts to give your kitchen an entirely new look. I can provide you with a custom stain or paint color of your choice, as well as, color match something existing in your home. Because every home is unique, pricing is based on your kitchen design. I am happy to provide an estimate for interested customers. Please contact me through email at: lonnschmitz@hotmail.com or call me at: 612.760.1440

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.
