Shelving Built to Fit Your Wall
Custom bookcases designed and installed in Triangle area by local carpenters.
When you need shelving that goes from floor to ceiling or fits into a narrow alcove in your Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill or Triangle area home, standard bookcases leave gaps or stop short of the ceiling. A custom bookcase is built to the exact width, height, and depth of your wall, giving you storage that uses the full space without forcing you to adjust your books or items to fit a prefabricated unit. You also get shelves that can be adjusted or spaced to match the size of what you are storing.
Artistic Furniture Creations & Carpentry, LLC builds bookcases using quality lumber and hardware, measuring your wall and discussing shelf spacing before construction starts. You can choose adjustable shelves for flexibility or fixed shelves for heavier loads. The finish is matched to your trim or existing furniture, and the bookcase is installed by the crew that built it. A warranty is included depending on the project, and the work is completed by local craftsmen who stand behind what they create.
If you need a bookcase that fits a specific wall or alcove in the Triangle area, reach out to go over your measurements and material options.
How the Bookcase Is Measured and Built
The process begins with measuring the wall or space where the bookcase will be installed in your Triangle area home. You decide on the type of wood, finish, and whether you want adjustable or fixed shelves. The bookcase is built off-site using the lumber and hardware chosen during planning, then delivered and installed in your home with anchoring to wall studs for stability.
After installation, you will see shelves that reach the ceiling without gaps, a unit that sits flush against the wall, and storage that holds your books or items without sagging. The finish will match your baseboards or door trim, and the bookcase will look like it was always part of the room.
Installation includes leveling the unit, securing it to the wall to prevent tipping, and adjusting any movable shelves so they slide easily. The crew removes all sawdust and debris before leaving. This service does not include painting surrounding walls or moving furniture, but it does include placing the bookcase exactly where it needs to go and making sure it is stable under load.
Common concerns before scheduling a bookcase build
Homeowners typically ask about sizing, shelf spacing, and how the unit will be anchored to the wall.
What measurements are needed for a custom bookcase?
You provide the width, height, and depth of the wall or alcove where the bookcase will go. The crew uses those measurements to build a unit that fits without gaps or overhangs.
How many shelves will the bookcase have?
The number and spacing of shelves depend on what you plan to store. You can request adjustable shelves for flexibility or fixed shelves spaced to hold specific items like large books or storage bins.
What types of wood and finishes are available?
You can choose from hardwoods such as oak, maple, or cherry, and select a painted or stained finish. The crew will match the finish to your existing trim or cabinetry in your Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill or Triangle area home.
How is the bookcase attached to the wall?
The bookcase is fastened to wall studs using screws and brackets. This keeps the unit secure and prevents it from tipping, even when fully loaded with books.
What does the warranty include?
The warranty depends on your project and covers defects in materials or workmanship. Artistic Furniture Creations & Carpentry, LLC stands behind the craftsmanship and will address any issues after installation.
