Wood grain and character vary from piece to piece. Your selected material, dimensions and installation scope are confirmed in your proposal.

PLAN THE WHOLE WALL

A clear plan for your wall.

The wall, the objects you want to display and the surrounding finishes give us a useful starting point.

  1. Share your space. Send photographs, rough wall dimensions and the shelf depth or mantel proportions you have in mind. Include fireplace specifications where relevant.
  2. Choose the direction. We’ll discuss wood, finish, solid or box construction, mounting and the intended use.
  3. Review the scope. Confirm dimensions, price, timing and fabrication or installation arrangements in your proposal.

Solid wood or mitered box construction?

A mitered box can give you the look of a substantial beam with less weight and can be a more economical direction. Solid wood brings the natural character of the material and a more substantial presence. We’ll compare the grain, proportions, budget and mounting needs for your space.

PLANNING YOUR PROJECT

A few things you may be wondering.

Can the shelves coordinate with a mantel?

Yes. Discuss the wood, finish and proportions together so the separate pieces relate to the same room.

What should I send for an initial quote?

Photographs, approximate dimensions, your preferred material direction and a description of what the shelves will hold are a useful start. Include fireplace specifications for mantel projects.

What affects the cost of a mantel or floating shelves?
Length, depth, thickness, wood, finish, solid or box construction, quantity and mounting or installation requirements all affect the quote. Share your preferred look and a comfortable budget range. Your proposal confirms the selected material, dimensions, price, timing and agreed scope.
Can you help with measurement and installation?
Yes. We can discuss design, measurement or templating, fabrication, finishing and local installation in Southeastern North Carolina. Fabrication-only work fitted to the agreed mounting brackets is also an option. Tell me how much help you need; your proposal confirms the arrangements for your project.
Which woods can I choose?
Popular choices include walnut, spalted maple, white oak, sapele and mahogany. We can discuss other woods as well. Grain, color, availability and the construction method influence the selection, so we’ll work through material and finish references together.
What should I tell you about the shelf load?
Tell me what the shelves will hold, including the approximate weight and whether you plan to display books, dishware or lighter decor. Shelf dimensions, construction, hidden brackets and the wall need to be considered together. We’ll review mounting and intended use as part of the project scope.
YOUR PROJECT STARTS WITH A CONVERSATION

Which wall would you like to bring together?

A style you like, rough dimensions or a few room photos are enough. I’ll help you find a useful next step.
