Built-in shelving and wall units are custom-fit storage and display pieces built to match your room's trim and exact wall dimensions, not a prefab bookshelf pushed against the wall. Converse Custom Cabinets measures your space and builds units that look like part of the house.
Converse's newer open-concept floor plans often leave large blank walls in living rooms and home offices. A built-in gives that wall a job while matching the trim already in the room.

Built-In Shelving and Wall Units FAQs
Can built-ins really match my existing trim?
We build and finish trim detailing to match your room's existing casings and baseboards so the unit looks original to the house.
How much do built-in shelving units cost?
Simple shelving starts around $1,200, while a full-wall custom unit with detailed trim can run $12,000 or more.
How long does a built-in project take?
Most projects run 3-5 weeks from design approval through install.
Do I need a permit for built-in shelving?
Unless the project involves structural wall changes.
Is DIY built-in shelving a good idea?
A simple floating shelf is fine to DIY. A full custom unit with trim matching and secure anchoring is better handled by a pro.
What should I ask before hiring someone for built-ins?
Ask how they'll match your existing trim and what the frame construction looks like before shelving goes in.
What's the difference between a prefab unit and a built-in?
A prefab unit sits against the wall and can be moved. A built-in is constructed to fit the exact wall and is permanently installed.
