Mounting is priced by weight, wall type and how many pieces. A framed mirror on drywall with a stud behind it is the base case; oversized frameless mirrors, heavy floating shelves and gallery walls take longer and need the right anchors for the wall. NYC walls are the variable: plaster over lath, tile, concrete and metal studs each need a different anchor. Prices are labor and standard anchors; specialty hardware is quoted separately.
