Carpentry · How long
Say how long a built-in shelves takes
People go quiet when they cannot picture the disruption. Say what the days look like. Do not promise a start date you do not have.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
The real schedule
Shop time comes before install. Tell them the build week and the install day as two dates. Stain color is a decision for whoever lives with the room, and it has to be made before the wood is ordered.
What the price is not
The $5,600 includes paint-grade built-ins on the wall we measured, installed and ready for your painter. It does not include stain-grade wood, and the paint itself. Do not start a stain-grade build on a paint-grade deposit.
