At first I thought $4,400 for complete sets with doors, drawers, hardware, painting, etc. wasn't too terrible. Then I kept reading.

cost for both sets of shelves was $4400

quote:

new built ins included the upper bookshelves from cabinet top to ceiling as well as replacing crown molding

quote:

bottom cabinets for both were already in place.

Painting was done separately.




frickity frick that's wild. Not implying you overpaid or anything, because apparently that's the going rate. It's just wild!!! $4,400 for a couple of bookshelves and some crown moulding?

We were also interested in converting 1 of our 2 two car garages into living space to include a bedroom, adding a shower to an existing adjacent half bath, and adding a small office.

All told would've added 429sq ft to the house but was all already covered under the roof. Had biddable plans drawn and a contractor gave us a bid - $154k (~$350/Sq ft). Just insane. Construction costs are just out of control.

Whoa! I built 5 sets of shelves and base cabinets plus crown several years ago. I need to get a side gig!

ETA… this was my inspiration and mine look like this without the sconces. Think someone would pay $10k-$12k for this?
