Shelving NYC Homes: Professional Solutions for Urban Spaces

In New York City, where space is at a premium, effective storage solutions are essential. The cost of custom shelving installations can range from $650 to $1200 per opening, depending on materials and complexity. CountBricks offers AI-powered estimates and real-time material pricing to ensure precision and efficiency in every project. Our expert crews specialize in transforming spaces from studio apartments to two-family homes across the city.

From Voice Walk-Through to Itemized Estimate in Minutes

Traditional estimating methods are outdated. CountBricks uses live voice capture to create detailed estimates on-site. As dimensions are narrated, our system generates a real-time estimate, including:

  • Lumber, plywood, and veneer quantities
  • Fasteners, brackets, and finish hardware
  • Labor hours by task (framing, installation, finishing)
  • Delivery, debris removal, and permitting allowances

This transparency builds trust and confidence among clients, making CountBricks a leader in NYC shelving projects.

Design Priorities for NYC Shelving

Each NYC borough presents unique challenges that influence design and material choices. CountBricks considers these factors to deliver tailored solutions:

  • Manhattan lofts require steel uprights for uneven brick walls
  • Brooklyn brownstones benefit from inset white oak matching historic millwork
  • Queens garages need powder-coated frames to combat humidity
  • Bronx basements use moisture-resistant MDF and concealed LED strips
  • Staten Island homes often opt for floating shelves to maximize floor space

Cost Drivers You Can Control

Understanding the variables that affect shelving costs helps in managing budgets effectively:

  • Material tier – pine, MDF, hardwood, or metal
  • Hardware quality – standard brackets vs. hidden supports
  • Finish schedule – primer and paint, stain and lacquer, or specialty coatings
  • Site conditions – elevator access, parking restrictions, after-hours work

Our platform provides real-time pricing updates, allowing for informed decisions without surprise costs.

Installation Workflow Optimized for Urban Living

NYC's unique building access challenges require a strategic approach to installation:

  • Shop fabrication: Pre-cut, pre-drilled, and finish-coated shelves
  • Just-in-time delivery: Compact, elevator-friendly bundles
  • Dust control: HEPA vacuums and plastic containment
  • Voice-driven invoicing: Automated upon project completion

Permits and HOAs—Handled

CountBricks navigates the complexities of co-op boards and landmark districts with ease, using digital templates and tracking approvals efficiently.

Five Pro Tips for Maximizing Small Spaces

  • Incorporate utilities into hollow floating shelves
