We recently moved into our first owned apartment, here in Brooklyn Heights and are in the process of making little changes to make it “ours.”

The next project on our list is to fix a built-in wall unit that serves as the divider between two bedrooms.  It’s got shelves, drawers and a space for a TV….but is configured to support an old-style CRT/square TV.

I’m neither a carpenter nor a structural engineer, but it seems like we could make a few modifications to the shelves to accommodate a bigger/wider TV.  We had one contractor look at it, who strongly preferred to gut the whole thing, build a new one offsite and then install….at TREMENDOUS cost.  

We’re a bit strapped, having bought the apt, and looking for something that will be good enough for a few years.  

Can anybody recommend somebody who might be able to help us out on this?  I really don’t think it’s a huge job, but would require a little bit of creative problem solving – as well as the ability to mount a flatscreen TV.  

Thanks for all your help.

I just hired Jose Respeto 347.499.8620 for the past 3 weeks to help me renovate a one bedroom in my Park Slope brownstone on the top floor. We worked side by side, he is energetic, healthy, fit, skilled and very enthusiastic. We did everything. Jose is a very helpful nice person with a positive attitude, a problem solver with solid work experience and skills. His rate is very reasonable and I will hire him back to do more work on the house late Fall. Extra bonus is his Father is an electrician. We ran new wires, installed ceiling fans, sconces, chandeliers, revived old lamps, new outlets/switches etc…also reasonable rate and a pleasure to have in the house!
