Yes — I work in Williamsburg, a lot. The most common calls: mounting TVs on concrete walls in the new waterfront towers (from $160 flat), assembling a whole apartment’s worth of flat-pack after a move, and renter-friendly hanging jobs that won’t eat a security deposit. Minimum visit is $90, and you get a flat quote from photos before I show up.
Williamsburg buildings, and why the walls matter
Williamsburg’s housing is a split personality: glass condo towers along the waterfront and Kent Ave, converted loft buildings with exposed brick and concrete, and older vinyl-sided walk-ups deeper into the neighborhood. Each one changes how a job goes.
- New towers = concrete walls. That gorgeous minimal wall is usually poured concrete or block. A regular drill and drywall anchors do nothing. TV mounting on concrete or brick runs from $160 (drywall is $120), and the same goes for anything heavy — shelves, mirrors, curtain rods on concrete headers.
- Lofts = brick and surprises. Exposed brick looks great and takes masonry anchors, not hope. I mount into it properly so your floating shelves (from $60 each) don’t become floor shelves.
- Building management with rules. Doorman buildings here run on paperwork and work-hour windows. Tell me what your management requires up front and I’ll sort the logistics before the visit, so your building’s rules don’t push the job to next week.
- Renters everywhere. A big share of my Williamsburg clients rent. I default to damage-free methods where they’ll actually hold, and I’m honest when they won’t — then we drill clean and patch later.
What I get booked for most here
Move-in season never really ends in Williamsburg. After the boxes arrive, I handle the furniture assembly marathon: IKEA dresser from $90, bed frame from $110, PAX wardrobe from $180 — assembled in the room, packaging broken down and cleanup included. Then the walls: gallery walls up to 10 pieces for $140, heavy mirror $90, curtain rods and blinds from $80.
Smart-home requests are big in the newer buildings too — video doorbells and smart locks from $100, dimmers and outlets from $85 through minor electrical work. Full price list lives on the pricing page; materials are extra, surprises are not.
Booking: photo, price, slot
Text me photos of the job and the wall it’s going on — if it’s a tower, a shot of the wall helps me quote concrete vs. drywall correctly. I reply personally with a flat price. No dispatcher, no “a technician will contact you,” no on-site upsell. If the price works, we lock a slot.
Evenings and Sundays are on the table, which fits Williamsburg schedules better than a “we’ll arrive between 8 and 12 on a Tuesday” window. Need it today? Check same-day availability. I also cover the rest of Brooklyn, and it’s a short hop over the Pulaski to Long Island City if you’ve got a place on both sides.
Send the photos. You’ll have a number before you’ve finished your coffee.
Letters to the desk — answered
My Williamsburg condo building has rules for outside workers. How do you handle them?
Forward me whatever your management requires — freight elevator booking, approved work hours, sign-in at the desk — and I'll coordinate it before the visit. Doorman-building logistics are a daily part of my Williamsburg work.
Can you mount a TV on a concrete wall?
Yes, that's a daily job in Williamsburg's newer towers. Concrete and brick mounting starts at $160 flat — I bring the hammer drill and the right anchors, and I clean up the dust.
I'm renting. Can you do work that won't cost me my deposit?
Absolutely. I offer damage-free options for shelves, curtains, and art where possible, and where drilling is unavoidable I do it cleanly and can patch and paint before you move out.
Is parking a problem for you in Williamsburg?
It's my problem, not yours. My quotes are flat, so time spent loading in through your building's freight elevator or finding a spot off Bedford never shows up on your bill.
Do you do same-day jobs in Williamsburg?
Frequently. Williamsburg is a quick trip for me, so if you text photos in the morning there's a good chance I can come that evening — including Sundays, when almost nobody else works.
