Cost of Built-Ins
I would like to have built-in bookshelves built on either side of my fireplace. Does anyone know how much a job like this would cost? Could you recommend a good but inexpensive contractor who does this type of work? Thanks.

please take a look at my company website: www.thetinkerswagon.com. I have pics of a set of shelves on either side of a covered fireplace. I also have a set of built in cd racks there. I have more pics in an album.

If you plan to paint them you can play around with basic pine shelves bought on craigslist ( search for unfinished Gothic or similar). Good handyman could build very decent looking built-ins using those shelves as a base, You'll save ton on material and labor.

Steve, Thanks for your post. How long does this type of project usually take? It's just one set of bookshelves on either side of the fp. It's not a huge space. Thanks again.
