Unless you find someone with excellent references, you'd probably do better to check with your local cabinet shops (or even your local Home Depot or Lowes kitchen cabinet section if you don't want anything too custom) and see what they can do for you.
It can be cheaper, give you better construction quality and better finish -- and be a
lot less headache for you -- to have a bookcase "unit" built to fit your wall.
The less time you have people working in your house, the better.
Having someone there for a couple of days doing the work, dealing with dust, noise and smells, is likely to be a lot worse then just dealing with the delivery and installation of a unit built in someone's shop or factory.
