Please recommend a good bookshelf builder!

We just had extensive bookcases built for us and installed by Steve Rayboy (http://www.urbanexteriors.biz). They’re not fancy wood–birch ply, which we will paint–but they’re attractive, fairly priced, and expertly built. Steve is sort of a throwback. He takes pride in his work and has exacting standards for himself. He’s become a deck specialist, and we got to know him last year when he built a large deck in our yard. The deck, which is made of ipe, is a thing of beauty–clean lines, exact spacing between planks, and lovely woodworking details where Steve cut around fixtures in the yard or cut the wood to the bowed contours of the building’s exterior wall. Steve’s prices are not low but work this good was worth paying for. My wife and I often joke that we wish our apartment itself were as well built as the deck. Steve is no-nonsense on the job. He shows up on time, is well-organized, cleans up, and gets the job done on time. I trust him completely and am glad to give you a personal referral if I can tell you anything more.

Great, thanks so much for the info!
