ProfessionalFloating Shelf Installation
Floating shelves look effortlessly clean — until one drops off the wall at 2 a.m. because it was anchored in drywall alone. We find the studs, use the right hardware for every wall type, and leave you with shelves that are level, secure, and ready to load.

How it works
Find anchors & mark level
We use a stud finder and level to mark where the bracket goes, making sure at least one mounting point hits a stud for heavy shelves.
Drill & mount the bracket
We drill at marked positions, set anchors where needed, and screw the hidden bracket flat to the wall.
Attach shelf & load test
We slide the shelf onto the bracket, adjust for level, and press down firmly at the outer edge to confirm there is no give.
We can help
Problems we fix
- Bracket anchored only in the drywall — shelf tilts and falls under books
- Shelf not level because the wall itself is not plumb
- Bracket too short for thick shelf — shelf wobbles when touched
- Multiple shelves in a gallery arrangement installed at inconsistent heights or spacings
Good to know
Floating Shelf Installation — FAQ
How much weight can a floating shelf hold?
That depends on the bracket and anchor type. A shelf bracket screwed into studs can typically hold 20 to 50 pounds per bracket. We match the hardware to your intended load.
Can you mount floating shelves in a bathroom or kitchen with tile walls?
Yes. Tile walls need a tile bit and anchors rated for that substrate. We take extra care to drill cleanly and avoid cracking the tile.
Can you install a whole gallery wall of floating shelves?
Yes. Gallery shelf arrangements are one of our most popular installs. We set consistent spacing and heights so the finished wall looks intentional and polished.
