Installation Services

For Designers

Your install day shouldn’t be stressful. Firehawk is the art and mirror installation partner for designers with projects in Florida — we work from your elevations, we handle the heavy and the awkward wall-mounting, and we leave the site photograph-ready.

The install is the smallest line in your budget and the largest risk to your reputation

You have spent months on a project, and the last four hours decide how it photographs. Handymen hang things imprecisely and call it “close enough.” Crews show up without a certificate of insurance, and the building turns them away at the loading dock. The installers you hired can’t turn your vision into reality — and the client is the one who notices.

We install for designers every week

We already speak your language: elevations, centerlines, FF&E schedules, site access, punch lists. More than 2,700 installations across hotels, clinics, clubhouses, offices, restaurants and private estates in 10+ years, 8,500+ pieces of museum-grade hardware, and a 5.0 rating across 101 Google reviews. Certificates of insurance — general liability, commercial auto and workers’ compensation — go to the proper parties before we arrive, not on the morning of the install.

Hard installs are the whole point

Most of what designers and contractors call us for is the piece nobody else will touch — too heavy, too high, or too expensive to get wrong.

How it works

1. Send the plans

Elevations, a piece list with weights, the hardware required, and the site address. We come back with crew size, hours and a firm number — then we clear the building ourselves: COIs, loading dock and elevator reservations, after-hours access if the space is occupied.

2. We Install to Your Drawings

Laid out, leveled, measured to the quarter inch, walked with you at the end, photographs taken if you don’t want to be at the job site.

3. You Look Good in Front of Your Client

Packing gone, walls clean, every piece where your drawings said it would be. The reveal happens on your schedule, the photographer gets a finished room, and the only thing your client notices is the design — which is exactly how it should be.

Why designers keep us on the call sheet

We work from your documents — not from a phone photo and a conversation in the driveway.
Occupied buildings and after-hours work are normal for us: hotels, clinics and offices that cannot close.
Oversized pieces and tough requests — 250-pound mirrors, ceiling-hung sculptures, gallery walls above banquettes.
Trade paperwork handled: three certificates of insurance, W-9, vendor setup, whatever procurement asks for.
Your client never sees the mechanics — drop cloths, packing removed, dust vacuumed, site left ready to shoot.

Rates for trade work

Engagement	2 installers	3	4
Half day (up to 4 hours)	$600	$900	$1,200
Full day (up to 8 hours)	$1,100	$1,650	$2,200
Residential, hourly (trade)	On request

Day rates are fixed by crew size, not billed by the hour, so a scope that runs long does not move the number. Mileage is billed at $0.67 per mile outside the greater Orlando area, and a $200 deposit reserves the date. Commercial work is invoiced by our office on agreed terms — your client is never handed an invoice on site.

The questions we get asked most

Can you be there before the reveal? Tell us the date first; we schedule around reveals, not the other way around.
Can you issue a COI naming the building? Yes — send us the requirements and we will have it issued before we arrive.
Can you work in an occupied hotel? Yes. Evenings and low-traffic windows are routine for us.
Can you supply the hardware? Yes — just let us know what’s needed beforehand, and we’ll bring hardware rated for the piece and the substrate.
Can you quote before I commit? Yes. Send the pertinent information — elevations or a piece list with sizes and weights, the wall types, the site address and the date — and you get a firm number back, not a range.

Put us on your next install date

The wrong install crew costs you more than a patched wall: a reveal pushed a week, a piece hung two inches off center in every photograph, and a client who quietly decides the problem was you. Firehawk is the crew designers across Florida already trust with the heavy, the high and the irreplaceable — 2,700+ installations, insured, documented, and finished to your drawings. Send us your next install date and let your work be the only thing anyone notices.
