Factory-made versus handmade shelving

7/17/2018

1 Comment

 
When you have a space in your home that's perfect for built-in bookshelves, it can be tempting to cut corners by getting a factory-made piece from a big box store.

But there are several big differences between factory-made shelving and the real thing. Aside from the obvious features like better materials and a better fit, our custom shelving has one more thing going for it: I always make sure every piece of furniture I build for you is as perfect as I can possibly make it.

In this video, you can see me going over every surface of these shelves with a sharp eye, touching up every little burr with my sander so that the final coat of paint will create a smooth and continuous surface.
Your custom shelving gets the personal attention of a craftsman, and it shows.

That finish is as smooth as butter. You just don't get a paint job like that in a factory made piece, so skip the particle-board shelving and get something solid that will last you a lifetime.
Call us to get the real thing.

Allan Bailey, Trim Carpenter Extraordinaire

Here at The Handyman Plan, LLC we always strive to help people get their jobs done right, and when I can't take on a particular project, I only refer my customers to people I trust to do excellent work in a professional manner.

Allan Bailey is one of those totally reliable carpenters who's not only friendly but also a top-notch craftsman. (Plus he's an Army Reservist and a real family guy, as you can see!)

I refer a lot of people to him, and he recently sent me a few photos of the great work he's done for our customers.
For example, a nice couple in south Asheville called me recently and wanted some drawers installed in these cupboards:
Picture
Since my schedule was full, I referred them to Allan.

After talking with the customers, Allan did some research to find high-quality drawers, but in his words, "After looking at what was out there, I knew I could do a better job for the same price."

So he built the drawers himself, and they're amazing! You can't get quality like this from a big-box store. Take a look:
Picture
You could load these things up with stuff and they would still work like a charm. And they're really beautiful, too.
Picture
Another customer requested a new stair railing to replace a rusting metal one that made their brick stairs into a hazard.
Picture
I sent them to Allan because I knew he was the right man for the job. Look at this new railing! It's a showpiece.
Picture
He's also got a sharp eye for detail...

...and a knack for making old trim look new again.

When you call us, you're not just calling me...  you're getting access to a whole group of talented local handymen with positive attitudes and incredible skills. Whether you need a solid new railing, a hand-crafted storage solution, or the right trim for your room, we're here to help.

Call today to get connected to the right guy for the job.
Yes, I want my job done right!
