If I wanted some cresting and fletching done on carbons who would you recommend I go to?

Most of your custom arrowmakers work with wood.

If you want cresting try wraps and you might even try to do it yourself.

Cliff at CAS Arrows is a good guy to deal with.

The only sponsor here that did them was Badger Arrows and I believe he got out.

You might ask some of the sponsors here. They may offer the service and just mot advertise it.

Why not do it yourself?  It's pretty easy and fun.  Bohning makes a good video showing the steps.

Enjoy

What longbowz says is true. You will have to buy some paint and rig up a cresting lathe. But even a beginner can put out better than factory finishes. There is no special skill set, just properly thinned paints and good brushes.

Do-it-yourself  is part of the fun (and satisfaction) of this Sport!
  Definitely look into it (archives), so many helpful tips and input there, you'll realize " Hey, I can do that"!! (maybe save some $$ in the long run, too).
