Getting the anchor right for Algiers Point walls

Algiers Point is known for historic 1800s cottages and shotguns with original lath-and-plaster walls, tall windows, and high ceilings that need ceiling-mounted or extra-long rods. The wall decides the anchor: we identify the material first, then use direct stud screws, toggle bolts, plaster anchors or masonry screws so a loaded rod holds long term instead of ripping out with the first tug. Rods are set at a consistent height above the frame and leveled across the room.

Curtain rod install near Opelousas Avenue: local details

Curtain rod install in Algiers Point is a plaster job, not a drywall job. On Pelican, Delaronde, Olivier and Morgan the walls are 1880s–1910s lath-and-plaster over cypress studs, often with a picture-rail and 9–10 foot double-hung windows set close to the ceiling. A standard drywall anchor spins out of old plaster within weeks, so we pre-drill through the plaster skim, find the lath or stud, and set either a direct wood screw or a plaster-rated toggle. Windows in the Point regularly run 100–110 inches from floor to head, so most rods here are 120–144 inch heavy-duty or ceiling-mounted with a center support. We keep the drill low-speed to avoid cracking horsehair plaster, patch any test holes, and leave no dust on original heart-pine floors. Ferry commuters can book an early Monday–Saturday slot and be done before lunch. We cover all of Algiers Point, including Opelousas Avenue, Pelican Avenue, Delaronde Street, Morgan Street, the levee walk and the blocks around the Algiers Point ferry and Confetti Park.

Curtain rod pricing in Algiers Point

Curtain rod installation is quoted at a flat rate per rod, confirmed upfront before any work starts — no hourly surprises. The per-rod rate drops when several windows are done in the same visit, and most rods take 15–30 minutes each, so a whole Algiers Point home is usually one appointment. Combine curtain rods with picture, art and mirror hanging for the best value.
