Cobblepot Services started as a real estate investment company that specializes in flipping houses. Frustrated with the contractor experience of poor communication and not meeting deadlines, we developed a system for installing kitchens to make the process more streamlined and seamless. This process takes a lot of the pain out of the construction experience. Our design experience in flipping houses has helped us in learning functionality and aesthetics along with helping the home owner with resale value.
"Earl did an outstanding professional work. Our kitchen looks great and very modern. He also installed lights in out dinning room and living room. It seems like we live in a new house. He did a great work."

Wegman's Custom Carpentry, is your source for quality and integrity for all of your home remodeling projects. We have over 14 years of official experience in custom woodworking, trim work, and home remodeling projects. Your satisfaction is our number one priority, and all our work is guaranteed. We always respond quickly to your requests, always price fairly, and the work performed is of the highest caliber. We use the best in materials as well. We specialize in interior trim work and fine woodworking. Most customers, through no fault of their own, don't realize that there are two ways to join to pieces of wood. There's the first way where you do it the fastest way possible and hope it looks good one year from now, or the second way where you take your time and treat each joint as a piece of fine woodworking craftsmanship that will last as long as the wood itself. I approach all of my work as in the second approach and have never regretted it. Thank you for the chance to serve you.
"Pete did a great job and provided exactly the service he stated in his contract. We should have discussed the timing of the job up front. Pete worked hard to accommodate our schedule which we really appreciated."

"Fantastic. Jonathan knows what he’s doing, very precise with measurements, and has a wide range of abilities. So friendly and personable.

Next up some Ikea cabinets in our laundry, and painting our garage. His prices are up front and very reasonable. He is licensed and insured. We feel he is quite a gem to have found!

Always choose high-quality furniture-grade wood for a built-in bookshelf. Softer woods, including pine and particle boards like MDF, can sag under the weight of heavy books. The ideal shelf can hold 20 to 40 pounds per foot, so opt for scratch-resistant hardwood plywood or solid wood. Popular options include mahogany, cherry, koa, maple, oak, walnut, birch, and cedar.
Built-in bookshelves should seamlessly blend into your space. Often, this means floor-to-ceiling units ending at a natural cutoff point like a door. You can also create a custom corner unit or suspended units hung at eye level. If you want to install a prefabricated unit, you’ll often see sizes ranging from 24 to 48 inches wide, 10 to 12 inches deep, and five to six feet tall.
The time it takes to install a built-in bookshelf depends on the complexity of the design. A contractor can install a simple, prefabricated unit in a few hours, while an elaborate, custom unit could take up to a week.
