I have a great gal who built our bookshelves and TV unit. Great & talented carpenter - might be too busy to take on new projects but.....917-627-5118 her name is Ana Szlyd (pronounced sheild)
Don't laugh me out of here BUT...Gothic Cabinetry really shouldn't be overlooked when considering built-ins and radiator covers. The previous owner of my apartment used them to customize a 20' long window seat with storage underneath and bookcases on either side as well as other pieces. They did an excellent job.
I would think brownstoner.com would be the way to go if you're getting small jobs done.
For larger projects, such as a kitchen, I have heard very good things about Little Wolf on the UES.
Hubby and I personally had the Murphy Bed Center in Chelsea do a gigantic bed/bookshelf system for us, but that was a fairly big job too -- ran about $8,000 a few years ago.
If you want extremely well crafted, hand made stuff (all done in a shop in the East Village) I highly reccomend codfish park designs http://www.codfishpark.com/Codfish_Park_Design/Home.html. The owner (Tyler Merson) is a smart, hands on craftsman. He did some amazing cabinetry and built in work for our loft. No slapdash work here -- he is the real deal (i.e. it ain't cheap, but is worth it).

paul10003: ...if anyone has any advice about custom bookshelves, please do advise.
I thought the question deserved its own thread. Let's throw in radiator covers and custom non-kitchen carpentry/furniture.
help...i need radiator covers...I just never thought a real estate website was the way to go but I'm with you kylewest.
Maybe www.apartmenttherapy.com is the way to go on this question. I just figured there is a "renovation" category on here so I'd take a shot.

Have you checked out Manhattan Cabinetry?
Expensive, but the quality looks very good. I've been to their showrooms.

Worth every penny though.
