What we hang

From one frame to a full gallery wall

Statement pieces

Large canvases and framed art centered on the wall or over furniture, at a height that works with the room.

Gallery walls

Grids, salon-style clusters and staircase runs — planned on the floor or with templates, then hung to a common line.

Heavy frames

Cleats, Z-bars and multiple anchors for weight that a single nail or hook shouldn't carry.

Mirrors

Entry, bathroom and oversized mirrors on hardware rated for glass weight.

Shelves

Floating and bracket shelves, level and anchored for what they'll hold.

Curtains & blinds

Rods, ceiling tracks, blinds and shades — fixed prices from $100.

Gallery walls

  1. Lay it out

    We arrange the pieces with you on the floor or tape paper templates to the wall, so you can see it before any holes.

  2. Set the line

    A center line or a top and bottom line ties the group together — usually around eye level.

  3. Hang and level

    Each piece goes up on hardware chosen for its weight, leveled against its neighbors.

Walls & hardware

The right anchor for the frame and the wall

The hanging hook that came with the frame is rarely the right answer for a New York wall. We match the hardware to both.

Hardware by wall type
DrywallStuds where they line up; otherwise anchors rated for the frame's weight.
Prewar plasterCareful drilling to avoid cracks; hooks or anchors suited to plaster and lath.
BrickMasonry anchors in solid brick, not mortar joints.
Poured concreteConcrete-rated anchors, within the building's rules. Concrete mounting
Heavy piecesFrench cleats, Z-bars or two-point hanging so the frame stays level.

Questions

Picture hanging questions

How much does picture hanging cost in NYC?

Picture and art hanging is $100 per hour with a $100 minimum. The time depends on the number and size of pieces, the wall type and how much layout planning a gallery wall needs. Tell us the count of small and large pieces in the booking form so we can plan the visit.

Can you help arrange a gallery wall?

Yes. We lay out the arrangement with you — on the floor or with paper templates on the wall — agree the spacing and the center line, then mark, level and hang each piece.

How high should pictures be hung?

A common gallery guideline puts the center of a piece or group about 57 to 60 inches from the floor. Above a sofa or console, the bottom edge usually sits several inches above the furniture. We adjust to your ceiling height and furniture before anything is drilled.

Can you hang heavy art or large canvases?

Yes. Heavy pieces get hardware rated for their weight — French cleats, Z-bars or multiple anchors — set into studs, masonry or anchors suited to the wall. Mention weights and sizes in the booking notes.

Do you hang art on plaster, brick or concrete walls?

Yes. Prewar plaster is drilled carefully to avoid cracking, brick gets masonry anchors and poured concrete gets concrete-rated anchors, following the building's drilling rules.

Do I need to provide anything?

The art with its hanging hardware attached (wire, D-rings or cleats) and a ladder that safely reaches the installation height. We bring the wall anchors, levels and tools.

Bare walls? Let's plan them.
