Custom designed and built books shelves don't have to be expensive. You can build them yourself with a Frugal DIY Pro by your side every step of the way and save up tp 70% off contractor prices!
Since custom built in book shelves take quite of bit of labor, you'll be able to save big. Any size, any design. If you can dream it, we'll help you build it! Actually, making your own custom built in bookshelves is easier than you might think. There are a couple of concepts we'll need to teach you and a few skills to learn, and in no time you'll be building the best bookshelves ever!
What about tools you ask? Well, depending upon the design, it is likely that you'll need a decent table saw, a cordless drill, palm sander and a square. What a great excuse to get some new toys! Even after you buy the tools you'll need, you'll still be saving big off contractor prices!If buying a $300 table saw isn't in your budget, we'll make arrangements to use the very special Frugal tablesaw! It cuts without waste! You'll also need a pair of safety goggles, a dust mask and a few other basic tools and supplies. We'll guide you though it all, one step at a time!
Full wall units with adjustable shelves, special accent lighting, stained wood, natural wood, painted wood, even laminate untis are all possibilities. If you have an area to turn into a temporary work shop, like a garage, it'll make the process a bit easier and less messy in the home, but it's not a big deal. We can easily drape off a small area in the room and protect the rest of the house from getting covered with dust!
We can design the book cases for you, or you can purchase a ready-made set of plans that we can use as is or make modifications to. Adding a space for your wall mounted HDTV is a nive feature to consider as well. We can include cabinets on the bottom of some of the units, and even a flop-out desktop that you can use as a computer workstation or school desk for the kids. The possibilites are endless limited only by your imagination! To make things easier, we cna even buy pre-made doors in hundreds of stile and in a wide variety of woods. They're inexpensive and will cost less than buying the raw wood and making them ourselves.
No problem! We'll be by your side as much as you need us to be and only leave you to work on your own when you and our Pro agree that you've picked up enough skill and knowledge to do the job properly. Depending upon the project, we may work with you a full day the first day, and a few hours everyday if needed. If we've left you to work on your own and you run into a snag, we're just a phone call away, and we make regular visits to you during the process to see how it is going and to help out as needed. You're never really alone when you hire Frugal DIY!
