Hanging pictures and artwork may seem simple, but getting frames perfectly level, properly spaced, and securely anchored is an art in itself. A crooked frame or a nail that pulls out of the wall can damage both your art and your walls. Gallery walls with multiple pieces require careful planning and precise measurements.

Dan and the team hang everything from lightweight prints to heavy mirrors, gallery wall arrangements, and oversized artwork. With 20+ years of experience, we know the right hanging hardware for every wall type and frame weight — so your art stays secure and looks perfect.

How It Works
Our Process
Plan the Arrangement
We discuss placement, help choose the right height and grouping, and can lay out gallery walls on the floor before committing to holes.
Select the Right Hardware
Based on frame weight and wall type, we choose the appropriate hangers — from standard hooks to French cleats and toggle bolts.
Hang Level & Precise
Using a laser level, we hang each piece at the perfect height with precise spacing between grouped pieces.
Step Back & Adjust
We evaluate the final arrangement from viewing distance and make any fine adjustments to height, spacing, or angle.

Why a Pro
Why Hire a Pro?
Heavy frames and mirrors require anchoring into studs or using heavy-duty wall anchors. Using the wrong hardware can result in a frame crashing to the floor, damaging the art, the frame, and the wall. Gallery walls require advance planning and precise measurements — every hole counts. A professional gets the spacing, height, and hardware right the first time with minimal wall damage.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this service
What is the right height to hang pictures?
The standard is to center artwork at 57 to 60 inches from the floor — average eye level. We adjust based on the room, furniture below, and ceiling height.
Can you hang heavy mirrors?
Yes. We use French cleats, toggle bolts, or stud-mounted hardware depending on the weight and wall type. We regularly hang mirrors over 50 pounds.
Can you help me plan a gallery wall layout?
Absolutely. We can lay out your frames on the floor to find the best arrangement, then transfer that layout to the wall with precise measurements.
What about plaster walls?
Many Rockland County homes have plaster walls, which require different anchoring techniques than drywall. We carry the right hardware for plaster and use careful drilling to avoid cracking.
