Miami wall reality
- CBS / concrete in many houses and mid-rises needs masonry anchors — drywall toggles alone fail.
- Impact windows and tight HOA rules — we protect floors and keep dust down; ask if your building wants a COI.
- Gallery walls — we template before drilling so you are not patching six wrong holes in fresh paint.
For heavy mirrors without wall damage context, also see hanging heavy mirrors & art.
Recommendations
- Batch shelves + pictures + rods into one visit.
- Tell us wall type (drywall vs concrete) and approximate weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does picture hanging cost in Miami?
Single standard picture $45. Mirror or heavy frame up to ~40 lbs $79. Large/heavy mirror with French cleat $129. Each extra gallery piece $25; layout planning $49. Concrete/tile wall add-on $25.
What about floating shelves and curtain rods?
Floating shelf up to 36" is $69 each; bracket shelving $59; multi-shelf (4+) drops to $49 each. Closet shelf & rod system for one closet is $179. Concrete mounting add-on $25 per shelf.
Can you hang on Miami condo concrete or plaster?
Yes. Block and concrete walls are common in South Florida — we use masonry bits and rated anchors, not drywall-only hardware.
Is a gallery wall cheaper as one visit?
Yes. Batching shelves, rods, and art in one trip beats multiple service calls. Gallery extras are $25 per additional piece after the first mount.
Will shelves hold real weight?
Only if anchoring is right. We hit studs when possible and use rated anchors otherwise so shelves do not pull out a year later.
