"Pierre construction is Awesome!!! If you’re looking to have someone to do your next project, look no further. I spent quite a bit of time interviewing and getting quotes for a major 2 story deck project for my house which included some intense structural improvements to my house as well, since some of the existing columns where in tough shape. I’m so glad that I picked Dave Pierre and his great crew to do this for me! Dave’s price was very reasonable and he was very much on top of all details. He bent over backwards to make sure that I was happy with every step of the project. His crew of over 12 years was also very skilled and often had discussions about challenges to make sure the details where the best that they could be before proceeding on the the next phases. As you can see from the attached video of the 2nd floor, the results are fantastic and I’m enjoying my new space immensely. "

""Outstanding Kitchen Transformation!" We recently had our kitchen refaced by Jesse Dugan, Kitchen Tune-Up and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. Jesse and Dave were professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled. Jesse took the time to understand our project and provided expert guidance on design options. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and our kitchen looks brand new! The attention to detail in every corner is impressive, and the quality of the work exceeded our expectations. Our space is now modern, fresh, and it's truly a joy to cook and entertain in. Not only did they complete the project on time, but they also made sure the area was clean and tidy each day. Communication was excellent throughout the process, and we always felt confident in their ability to deliver. We highly recommend Jesse Dugan, Kitchen Tune-Up for anyone looking to reface their kitchen."

High-quality furniture-grade wood will give you the best performance. 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, maple, oak, walnut, and birch.
Built-ins look best when they feel like part of the room, so many homeowners run them floor to ceiling and stop at a natural break such as a doorway. Corner or floating units are smart options for tight spaces. Prefabricated shelves typically run 24–48 inches wide, 10–12 inches deep, and 5–6 feet tall; use those ranges as a quick sizing guide.
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.
For optimal storage efficiency and aesthetics, built-in bookshelves typically feature a shelf depth of 10 to 12 inches. This depth strikes a balance between providing ample space for books and decor while maintaining a sleek, unobtrusive look in your room.
