What People Say

Real reviews from real clients across the northwest Chicago suburbs.

Common questions

Every shelf is anchored into studs where possible. Where studs aren't available, I use toggle anchors or specialty wall anchors rated for the shelf's load.

Yes — plaster walls require different anchoring than drywall, but I install floating shelves on plaster regularly. The result is equally secure.

It depends on the shelf material, bracket type, and anchoring method. Stud-mounted shelves can hold 50–100+ lbs. I'll tell you the realistic capacity before installation.

You can, or I can advise on what to purchase. If you have the shelves, just have them unpacked and ready.

Yes — I install metal and wood garage shelving systems including freestanding and wall-mounted options.
