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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
