Top Shelf Hanging related questions
First, choose shelf support brackets and position their pre-drilled fastener holes over the brick (not the mortar in between bricks). Mark the positions of each hole, then drill. Insert masonry sleeves into the holes and hammer them into place. Then, hold the bracket to the wall and attach the fasteners. Finally, lay the shelf onto the bracket. You can also skip the risky DIY shelf hanging job by getting a tasker on our platform.
If you aren’t allowed to drill into the walls, you can hang shelves using adhesive strips instead. It’s best to use light, hollow shelves for this purpose. But, these shelves have their limitations: they can only handle very light loads (usually around 3 pounds or less). Shelf hanging typically requires drilling to securely attach the shelf to the wall and prevent it from falling. Consider putting up free-standing shelves instead if you aren’t allowed to drill.
For a custom piece that fits your home correctly, choose a cut of wood yourself. Then, get mounting brackets, a power drill, drill bit, stud finder, carpenter’s square, and level. Choose a spot for the shelf, mark the holes and drill, install the brackets, then attach the wood. Sounds challenging? You can get a Tasker to help you out with shelf assembly instead.
It’s easy: use a level when you do your shelf hanging job. This nifty little tool makes sure your shelf won’t be tilted when you mount it. As long as you use the level properly and mark the right positions on your wall, you can get your shelf to hang straight. If you need help putting up shelves in your home, you can book a Tasker for shelf hanging.
Putting a heavy shelf up on a plaster wall is just like any other shelf mounting job, except that you’ll need a special kind of anchor. Handymen typically choose toggle bolts for projects like these since they spread the weight of the shelf evenly throughout the wall. It’s also important to note that plaster walls are difficult to drill through due to their structure. For safety purposes, it’s best to work with a shelf-hanging expert instead of doing this task yourself.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this since there are many kinds of shelves: free-standing wooden bookcases, heavy-duty steel ones, floating shelves from your nearby hardware store, and so on. As a general rule, follow the manufacturer’s instructions when you do shelf assembly. You can get a friend or partner to help you out, or you can have a shelf assembly expert do it for you instead.

What do shelf hanging services include?
Standard 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 ensure the best nail type is used for your wall material and the best position to install your shelf. They will use a level to install more than one hanging shelf to ensure they’re mounted evenly. Your installer will advise how much weight the shelf will 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 screw your new shelves into place expertly. If you opt for sliding or rotating shelves, they’ll ensure the shelves pull out smoothly.
Install a garage shelf
Getting your garage or workshop organized 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.

I’m looking for someone experienced with home improvement projects to help transform a small mudroom nook in my home. The space is approximately 40 inches wide with 9-foot ceilings. What I need done: * Install acoustic wood slat panels on the back wall (approximately 40” W × 9’ H). * Cut panels as needed for a clean, custom fit. * Install one floating wood shelf above the bench area. * Install 3–4 wall hooks for bags, jackets, and keys. * Ensure everything is level, securely mounted, and professionally finished. Additional details: * I will provide the wood panels, floating shelf, hooks, and storage bench. * Tasker should bring the necessary tools and installation equipment. * Experience installing acoustic wood panels and mounting shelves is preferred. * Please include any additional hardware or materials needed in your quote. This is a small project, and I’m looking for someone who can achieve a clean, modern, built-in appearance. I can provide photos of the space and inspiration pictures. I will also be recording the process. So would need to be comfortable being filmed. Thank you!

Hello! - I need these floating shelves moved to the left so it is flush with the end of the wall. I will then need the old holes patched (I have spackle and paint). - Then I need the electric fan removed from the ceiling and covered. - Then I need blinds removed and some curtains hung up (I've attached a screenshot of what they look like). I bought the track and the curtains already. I will be filming this project for Airtasker's social media, but I won't get your face in it. Must bring own ladder and tools. Thank you!
Vernon is awesome! Great service, super friendly, does a great job and goes above and beyond. 100% recommend
