Picture Hanging Service in Colonialtown, FL
Bungalows and block homes north of Colonial Drive
In short
We hang pictures, mirrors and shelves in Colonialtown's bungalows and block homes, testing each wall and choosing plaster, masonry or drywall hardware to match.
Picture hanging in Colonialtown
Colonialtown North and South sit on either side of Colonial Drive just east of downtown — a mix of 1920s bungalows, 1940s cottages and renovated block homes near Lake Highland and Mills 50. Many owners here are first-time buyers fixing up a home room by room.
Homes and walls in Colonialtown
The oldest homes have plaster; postwar homes are often concrete block; renovated rooms and additions are drywall. It's not unusual to see all three in one house.
Plaster and lath walls
Original plaster in Colonialtown's older homes is hard on the surface but brittle underneath, and a hammered nail can crack it. We tape the spot, pre-drill with a carbide bit and use plaster-rated anchors — or picture-rail hooks where the moulding survives.
Concrete block (CBS) walls
Many Colonialtown homes have concrete block walls, often with a thin drywall layer on furring strips. Nails won't hold here. We drill with a hammer drill and masonry bit, then use concrete screws or sleeve anchors — the strongest option for heavy mirrors, TVs and shelves.
Drywall walls
Drywall in Colonialtown is usually half-inch board over wood studs in houses and over metal studs in condos and apartments. We locate framing with a scanner for anything heavier than about 20 lb and use toggle or self-drilling anchors between studs, so frames sit flush and stay put.
Typical jobs we handle in Colonialtown
For Colonialtown's older homes we test every wall before drilling, since one house can mix original plaster, later drywall and paneling.
Local tip: Fixing up room by room? Book one visit for several rooms — it's usually cheaper per piece than separate trips.
