Common Mounting Jobs in Sunnyvale
tech-corridor city — Apple, Google, LinkedIn, Yahoo offices drive constant relocation cycles. The mounting work we do most in Santa Clara County:
- Picture/art hanging — single piece or gallery wall, level and square.
- Mirror mounting — bathroom vanity, full-length, decorative.
- Floating shelf install — IKEA, West Elm, custom; into studs or with toggle anchors.
- Heavy-item mounting — surfboards, antlers, sculptures (weight + leverage matters).
- Curtain rod install — overlapping window for true blackout.
Anchor Selection by Weight + Wall Type
Under 5 lb (small picture): standard picture hanger or hardware nail. Drywall is fine.
5-25 lb (medium artwork, mirror): drywall anchor (Toggler SnapToggle) or stud-mounted screw. Plaster walls need toggle anchors.
25-80 lb (large mirror, heavy frame, floating shelf): 2 studs minimum, lag bolts. Or 4+ heavy-duty toggle anchors if studs aren't available.
Over 80 lb: French cleat (board mounted to studs, item rests on cleat). The pro mounting standard for heavy items.
Gallery Walls — The Pro Difference
high-density apartment buildings + townhomes mean steady property management + tenant turnover work Gallery walls live or die on layout. We bring kraft paper templates to mock the layout on the floor first, then transfer to the wall. Levels and spacers ensure consistent gaps. The same 8 prints arranged by an amateur look like clutter; arranged by a pro look like a designer's work.
