The work

Floating Shelves & Mantels services across Lake County, IL

Floating shelves hold whatever you put on them or they don't. The hardware is invisible, so the strength has to come from what's inside the wall.

We locate the studs, set steel rods or a cleat frame into framing, and build the shelf around it. That's what lets a shelf carry books and a stone-front mantel carry weight without a visible bracket anywhere.

Mantels are the same job with more scrutiny, since it sits at eye level in the middle of the room. Stain-grade or painted, floating or corbelled, sized to the fireplace rather than to a stock length.

Common questions

Floating Shelves & Mantels, answered

Do you offer floating shelves & mantels across Lake County?

Yes. Floating Shelves & Mantels is one of our core services and we cover all of Lake County, from Lake Forest and Highland Park up to Zion and Antioch. Call (224) 944-8652 for a free estimate.

How much weight will a floating shelf hold?

It depends on what's behind it and how deep the shelf runs. Anchored into studs with steel rod, a shelf will carry a full row of books. We'll tell you what yours is rated for rather than guessing after it's up.

How much does it cost?

Every job is priced after we see the actual space, so you get a real number rather than a range. The estimate is free, it's in writing, and the scope is spelled out before any work starts.
