Northern Rivers NSW
Part of our handyman and carpentry work.
Homesmith hangs artwork, mirrors, floating shelves, curtain rods and blinds across the Northern Rivers. The work is done by a qualified carpenter, with the fixing chosen for the wall rather than guessed.
We hang art, mirrors, shelving, curtain rods, blinds and coat rails across Byron Bay, Bangalow, Lennox Head and Ballina. Every wall gets checked before anything is drilled. Stud, brick, hebel, fibro and old hardwood framing each need a different fixing.
Fixings and hardware charged separately.

What's included
Detail
Gallery hanging follows rules worth knowing. The centre of the artwork sits around 1500mm from the floor in a hallway, and lower in a lounge where you are seated.
Spacing between frames stays consistent, usually 50mm to 80mm, so the group reads as one piece.
Weight decides the fixing. Under about 5kg most plasterboard anchors are fine. Above that we look for a stud, and heavy mirrors or long shelving get a cleat spanning two studs.
In older Northern Rivers homes with hardwood framing we pre drill so nothing splits. Anything near an open deck or a bathroom gets stainless or coated fixings, because standard screws bleed rust down a wall within a season.
Where we work
We cover Byron Bay, Bangalow, Lennox Head, Alstonville, Ballina, within roughly a 50km radius of Byron Bay. Same prices everywhere, no call out fee.
Common questions
Pricing is $420 + GST for a half day or $760 + GST for a full day, for one smith. A day covers a good number of pieces in the one visit. Fixings and hardware are charged separately at cost.
Yes. Heavy mirrors are fixed to studs or to a hidden cleat spanning two studs. We do not rely on plasterboard anchors for weight they are not rated to hold.
Regularly. We lay the arrangement out on the floor first, agree it with you, then transfer it to the wall using a laser level so spacing and heights stay consistent.
Small patching and touch ups can be included if you mention it when booking, so we bring filler and a sanding block.
Send the list and we will tell you whether it is a half day or how many days it looks like, from $420 + GST for a half day or $760 + GST for a full day, for one smith, fixed before we start. If there is time left over, we keep working down whatever else is on your list.
