Shelving Installation FAQs
Dealing with wobbly structures, struggling to find a stud, or worrying about whether your shelves will hold the weight doesn’t have to ruin your organization project. We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions our clients in Summit and Portage Counties ask about our professional floating shelf, heavy-duty storage, and custom shelving installation services.
How much weight can the shelves you install safely hold?
The total weight capacity depends heavily on the type of shelf, the mounting hardware, and the wall material. For heavy items (like books or large pantry goods), we prioritize finding and mounting directly into wall studs. When studs aren’t an option, we use heavy-duty toggle bolts and anchors specifically rated for high weight-bearing capacity on drywall. We will advise you on the safe load limit for your specific installation before we finish the job.
Can you install both bracketed shelves and modern floating shelves?
Yes, we expertly install both. Bracketed shelving (like wire racks, garage systems, or standard utility shelves) is generally the most straightforward and highest-capacity option. Floating shelves require specialized, precise drilling and mounting to hide the hardware inside the shelf for that clean, modern look. We ensure both types are perfectly level and securely mounted to the wall.
I have plaster walls in my older home. Can you still install shelves securely?
Yes. Installing into plaster or brick walls requires specialized equipment and anchoring techniques that differ from standard drywall. We use appropriate masonry bits and high-grade fasteners designed to create a secure, permanent hold in these difficult wall materials. We guarantee a strong installation for your shelving regardless of the age or composition of your walls.
