Shelf installation
Updated 2026-10-10
Bookshelves in the kids room, a floating shelf in the living room, or shelves in storage. In D-Bell you book a handyman who mounts them level and solid, and get quotes before you choose.
How much does shelf installation cost?
Installing a shelf usually costs ILS 150 to 280. When there are several small jobs at home, you can book a handyman by the hour, ILS 160 to 280 per hour. These are average D-Bell catalog ranges.
How much weight will the shelf hold?
It depends on the wall, the anchors, and the brackets. A bookshelf needs stronger brackets than a shelf for plants. Say what will sit on the shelf, so the professional brings the right materials.
Say what the wall is made of: block, concrete, or drywall. Drywall needs special anchors or reinforcement, and you do not drill into a safe room (mamad) without checking Home Front Command guidance.
What should I prepare?
Mark on the wall where and at what height you want the shelves, and say whether you already have them or they need buying.
How is it done properly?
- Check the wall and choose anchors by wall type and shelf load.
- Detect pipes and wiring before drilling.
- Mark with a level before drilling.
- For a floating shelf, use a hidden bracket matched to the shelf depth.
- Load test the shelf, and clean up the drilling dust.
