Floating Shelves & Mantels for Lake Bluff, Illinois homes
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.
Lake Bluff is a small village of mostly older housing stock, which usually means plaster walls and openings that were never quite square. Whichever it turns out to be, the carpenter who prices your Lake Bluff job is the one who shows up to do it.
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 in Lake Bluff, answered
Do you do floating shelves & mantels in Lake Bluff?
Yes. Lake Bluff is inside our regular service area and we work there every month. Call (224) 944-8652 and we'll set a time to look at the job and put a written price on it.
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.
