I need custom built in bookcases/shelving put in in 2 places in our house. Yall gave me great recs on door makers before, but the ones I asked didn't do this type of work.

Is there anyone I should be calling that you've had good experience with?

Thanks!

We got multiple quotes from the suggestions here and ended up with Cook construction. They were super easy to deal with, very responsive in communication and got the builtins done quickly. They turned out great. Thanks again H&G board!

When we lived in Baton Rouge we used the Rustic Shack to build several pieces of furniture for us including a built in mud room and several bookcases. He can build pretty much anything you want and a very nice guy. Rustic Shack

I've used Jason Schexnaidre in Port Allen for a remodel where he built some very nice built-ins for me

I recently used Cabinets R Us in Gonzales for some interior built ins - filing cabinets, shelving, cabinets, bookcases. Name sounds like large company but it’s not - son and father, several employees. Easy to work with - I’d use them again.

Don’t have a website but they have a FaceBook page - Trey (son) and James (father) Richey.

looks nice, I asked for a quote for two simple built ins on both sides of my fire place, I think each side was roughly 6' long. Both quotes came in over $4,000. I did it myself over a few weekends for $700.

Looks great, but in the second pic, the middle upper cabinet, have them remove the rails to get a cleaner look and symmetrical lines. It was unnecessary to build another box.
