Shelving Installation NYC, Level, Secure, Spaced Right

Floating shelves look simple. Getting them level, finding the studs (or the right anchors when there aren’t any), spacing them correctly for what you’re putting on them, that’s the part people underestimate. We mount shelves at $75 for the first shelf and +$40 for each additional, and we space them to your books, your objects, or your aesthetic.

  • First shelf (includes setup and wall assessment): $75

  • Example: 3 shelves → $75 + $40 + $40 = $155

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of shelving do you install?

We install floating shelves, bracket shelves, built-in style shelving, IKEA LACK and BILLY shelving, custom wood shelves, and track-based shelving systems like Elfa. If it mounts to a wall, we can install it cleanly and securely.

Do you supply the hardware and mounting brackets?

We bring all the necessary anchors, screws, and mounting hardware for your specific wall type. If your shelves came with brackets, we’ll use those. If not, we’ll supply appropriate hardware to ensure a secure, lasting installation.

Can you mount shelves into brick or concrete?

Yes — brick and concrete walls are very common in NYC apartments and lofts, and we’re fully equipped with hammer drills and masonry anchors to handle them. Brick installations actually tend to be extremely solid once properly anchored.

How do you make sure shelves are perfectly level?

We use a laser level on every job — not just a bubble level — to ensure everything is precisely aligned. For multiple shelves at the same height or in a row, we take careful measurements and mark everything before drilling a single hole.

What weight capacity can your shelf installations handle?

That depends on the shelf design and wall type, but we always anchor into studs or use heavy-duty wall anchors rated for the expected load. We’ll discuss your intended use — books, plants, decor — and make sure the installation is built to handle it.

Can you install a whole wall of shelving in one visit?

Yes — we regularly do full accent walls, reading nooks, home office shelving walls, and kitchen open shelving all in a single appointment. Just describe the project when you book and we’ll make sure to allocate the right amount of time.
