Shelves, Mirrors & Art in Miami
Floating shelves, a full-length mirror, or a gallery wall — hung level and anchored for the actual wall behind it, not just wherever it looks close to straight.
How this works
This is anything that needs to hang flat, level, and stay there: floating shelves, wall-mounted mirrors, framed art, gallery walls, and heavier decor. The install method depends entirely on what's behind the drywall — and in a lot of Miami-Dade housing, that's concrete block rather than wood studs, which changes both the hardware and the time it takes.
On stud walls, we anchor into the stud whenever the item's weight and position allow it, or use rated drywall anchors sized to the actual load — a heavy mirror on a plastic anchor rated for a picture frame is how mirrors end up on the floor. On block or concrete walls, that means a masonry bit, the right anchor, and more time per hole, which is reflected in the price for those jobs.
Gallery walls and multi-piece arrangements get laid out and leveled as a set before anything goes on the wall permanently — using a template or measured plan so the spacing reads as intentional, not just 'close enough.'
What's included
- Stud-finding and load-appropriate anchoring for the item's actual weight
- Masonry anchoring on concrete or block walls
- Level installation, single item or full gallery wall layout
- Floating shelf installation with concealed brackets
- French cleat or full-length mirror mounting
Why hire a pro for this
The wrong anchor for a heavy mirror or a fully-loaded shelf isn't a small risk — it's a pulled-out anchor and a shattered mirror or a shelf's worth of belongings on the floor. Matching the anchor to the actual load and the actual wall material is the entire job; hanging it straight is the easy part.
Frequently asked questions
Can you hang a mirror on a concrete or block wall?
Yes — that's most of what this service covers in Miami. We use masonry anchors rated for the mirror's weight, which takes longer than a stud-wall install but is the only safe way to hang anything heavy on block or poured concrete.
Do you do gallery walls?
Yes, and we lay it out and level the full arrangement before drilling anything, using a plan or template so the spacing is even and intentional rather than eyeballed piece by piece.
What's the weight limit for floating shelves?
Depends on the bracket and the wall, not a fixed number — a shelf anchored into studs can safely hold significantly more than the same shelf on drywall anchors alone. Tell us what you're planning to put on it and we'll size the anchoring to that.
Can you remove and re-hang existing items when I repaint?
Yes — that's a common add-on to a painting job. We'll take down what needs to come off the wall and re-hang it once the paint's cured.
