What do shelf hanging services include?
Common shelf installation services include building wardrobe and pantry shelves and hanging wall shelving. Your professional will ensure your shelf has the right fittings, angles, and is structurally sound. Popular shelf installation tasks include:
Install a floating shelf
A floating shelf is attached to a wall with no visible means of support, and are popular for their modern, minimalistic look. To begin installing your floating shelf, your handyman will assess the space and use a stud finder to mark the most secure spot for the brackets. They’ll use an electric drill to make a hole and secure the brackets, using a level to ensure everything lines up perfectly. Once the brackets are installed, they’ll measure the space between them and drill into the shelving to fit these exact measurements. Then they’ll slide the shelving into the brackets.
Install a hanging shelf
Your hanging shelf installer will make sure the best type of nail is used for your wall material and the best position to install your shelf. They will use a level if you’re installing more than one hanging shelf to ensure they’re mounted evenly. Your installer will advise how much weight the shelf will be able to bear and answer any questions you may have.
Install a wardrobe or pantry shelf
Your shelving installer will advise on the best kind of shelving to suit your space - fixed, adjustable, corner, floating, or pull out. They will then measure the space. If you’re hiring them to make the shelving too, they’ll let you know how long it will take them to build your custom shelving. Once the shelves are ready, they’ll use their tools to expertly screw your new shelves into place. If you opted for sliding or rotating shelves, they’ll ensure the shelves pull out smoothly.
Install a garage shelf
Getting your garage or workshop organised with shelving can help with storage and productivity. Your handyman will advise what type of shelving will best suit your space and align this with your weight-bearing requirements. With overhead shelving, your installer will attach the brackets to the ceiling where the joists are located - this is the strongest point in your ceiling.
Your handyman will properly measure the space for your overhead shelving and make sure it will not interfere with your garage door, lighting, and work area. They will then install your shelving, with the longest part going across the joists so that your new shelves will have the most support possible and not overburden the joists.

Maroubra NSW, Australia
21st May 2026
Looking for a handyman to complete a few small jobs in one visit at my apartment in Maroubra. Tasks include: - Remove 2 screws from wall and patch/fill holes - Remove/uninstall 1 existing wall mounted shelf and patch/fill holes - Install 2 new shelves (80cm long – each requires 3 dome head screws) - Install 1 notice board (requires two screws) All walls are concrete, so you’ll need the appropriate tools/drill bits for masonry/concrete walls.

No painting required — just patch/fill the holes neatly.

Install shelving above washing machine

South Yarra VIC, Australia
21st May 2026
I'm looking for an experienced and qualified carpenter to cut and install shelves above the washing machine in my laundry. I will remove current shelving system. Cost is negotiable (honestly no idea how much a job might cost so ignore $ amount). You will need to measure before and source materials for which I will pay for. I'd like solid wooden shelves ideally, yet open to melamine or other material. Each shelf needs to be approximately 600mm x 700mm. As you can see from the photo, it's a brick wall.

I have a painting that needs to be hung on the wall and a small floating shelf to be installed. The wall is gyprock and I think concrete might be behind the gyprock so a hammer drill and wall plugs could be required however I’m not 100% sure. It’s a small job that should take 60 minutes or less.

Hi - I need someone to install 12 steel pitch vertical wall strips onto a plaster and masonry wall (brackets and shelves will be mounted onto pitch strips after - see photo attached). The pitch strips need to be installed in 6 verticals 0.5m from floor, so they will reach 3m up the wall (i.e. each vertical is 2.5m). There are 12 strips in total 6 x 2m, 6 x 0.5m. We are painting the room this week so need quick installation Tuesday evening prior to painters coming in (there is a small amount of flexibility with timing). Steel strips, screws and plugs provided. Room has been cleared of furniture. BYO masonry drill and stepladder. Thanks!
Sam was great. Good job, good to work with, good price. Would recommend and use again.
