Every inch of your home deserves purpose. At Gage Nelson Handyman Service, we design and build custom built-ins that bring together beauty, durability, and functionality. From elegant shelving and entertainment walls to fully integrated home offices and mudroom storage, each project is designed to complement your home’s layout and lifestyle.
Custom built-ins aren’t just furniture; they are extensions of your home’s architecture. Our mission is to create timeless pieces that seamlessly blend into your interior design, so much so that guests might assume they came with the house.
Florida homes, especially in areas like Bradenton and Sarasota, often feature open layouts that lack efficient storage options. According to the Florida Realtors Association, 71% of homebuyers consider built-in cabinetry and storage a highly desirable feature when purchasing a home. Well-designed built-ins can increase your property’s value while helping you maintain a clutter-free and organized home.
A study from Remodeling Magazine found that homeowners in Florida who invested in custom interior carpentry projects reported up to a 73% return on investment during resale. This makes custom-built-ins a practical and stylish home upgrade.
At Gage Nelson Handyman Service, we believe every built-in should solve a problem and express your style. Using computer-aided design (CAD), we create detailed visual plans to ensure every dimension fits perfectly before we begin construction.
A living room is the heart of any home, and clutter can quickly disrupt its comfort. We build entertainment centers, floating shelves, or wall-to-wall cabinetry that keep wires, books, and electronics neatly concealed. Many Florida homeowners prefer open shelving paired with closed storage, a balance between display and discretion.
A custom closet system brings order to chaos. Adjustable shelves, drawers, hanging rods, and accessory compartments make getting ready more efficient. In humid Florida climates, we use moisture-resistant materials to prevent warping and mildew.
With remote work on the rise, now representing over 27% of all Florida employees (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2024), a dedicated workspace is more important than ever. Our built-in desks, shelving, and cabinetry create productive, clutter-free environments that maximize comfort and efficiency.
We design custom pantry systems with pull-out drawers, sliding trays, and adjustable shelving that make every jar and ingredient easy to reach. Kitchen built-ins can also include appliance garages, corner storage, and display shelving that transform tight spaces into organized hubs.
Florida homeowners often face sandy shoes and wet gear after beach trips. A custom drop zone or mudroom bench keeps everyday items accessible while reducing mess. We design hooks, cubbies, and cabinets built to withstand Florida’s humidity and frequent use.
Gage Nelson Handyman Service proudly serves homeowners across Manatee County and Sarasota County.
