Built-Ins
We’re looking to create some built-ins and expand closet space in our South Slope house keeping within out modern sensibilities. Does anyone have recommendations for someone who could create something and what we might expect to pay for closets/built-ins for 3 rooms?

My tenant Stephen Pino has done beautiful work in my home. A wood door with glass and just recently a custom set of bookshelves that matches the molding of my 1870s home and looks as if its been there forever.
His number is 718 858 1712.
Lowes has a nice inexpensive system. Not Eurostyle but gets the job done.

I TOTALLY recommend that you check in with Marcy Pesner at Beagle Tile. Contrary to the name of her company, she is a furniture and cabinet maker (she does a small line of wooden tiles, too, hence her name). She did a massive wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinets for us on our first floor and in my home-office another wall of modern built-in suitcases, including over a doorway. It all looks really fabulous, has held up great in the 2 years or so since her work. Of all the myriad people I dealt with in our gut renovation project, she and her staff were really the best in terms of their professionalism and friendliness. Really nice folks, they did a great job and the price was reasonable. More than you’d pay for some ELFA or Ikea type system, but a whole different animal — custom, specific to your needs and ideas (she will design with you) and just beautiful aesthetics. Google her for her website and contact info. Best of luck!
we did 2 closets – both walk ins- it was about $3500-$4000. We used Transformit Closets. And worked with Jude- really nice. He designed the whole thing. We did the demo, patching and painting(depending on your space and how much time you have and work it will be to do that- have some one else do it) and they came and installed. Very easy.
You could also try the container store with the elfa closet system. It will be less money. They will help you organize and figure what you need, etc. We got those for an office/bookshelf area and they are realy great and after the first freak out of installation- really easy. ($650ish?)You have to measure your space and you can plan it online. Next time, I will probably go the elfa route for ease of installation, money and less demo work. (there was a lot of demo work- had to take out all of the baseboards and still have yet to replace them) (We are selling our apt with the beautiful closets- I will totally miss the hamper-sigh)
