Carpenter for IKEA Billy Built Ins?
Hi! I’m wondering if anyone knows of a carpenter/woodworker/handyman who can built IKEA bookcases (likely the Billy bookcase) and add the base and molding to make them look like built-ins. I’ve watched a zillion YouTube videos of people doing this, but I know that I am totally incapable of it. Curious for any referrals! Thank you.

Go on Taskrabbit. They are owned by IKEA and have thousands of Taskers who assemble furniture. Some are aslo great carpenters who do exactly this kind of work.
Our handyman Selvin is an amazing carpenter (among many other skills like electrical, plumbing, drywall, etc). He has done so much work for us over the years and I cannot say enough good things about his work ethic, communication, kindness toward our pet and kid while working… not to mention his actual skills!
His number is (650) 281-6739. Good luck on your project!
My handyman Steve was born for this job, (510) 227-4890. He built us a custom cabinet and a closet around a staircase to create extra storage. He's also just a super cool guy: music nerd and aspiring filmmaker. He's also very reasonably priced!
Our handyman Miguel would be more than capable! I'm sure if you showed him a photo of what you want he'd be able to do it. His number is 510.672.9854
