Chicago Handyman Service
Picture and Mirror Hanging in Chicago
MainteGO hangs framed pictures, artwork, photographs, mirrors, clocks, signs, and gallery walls in Chicago homes, condos, and rentals. We help set the height and spacing, match the mounting approach to the item and wall, and align single pieces or grouped arrangements.
Send the size, weight, and a front-and-back photo of every item, plus a wide photo of the wall. For a gallery wall, include the number of frames and your preferred arrangement. Large mirrors, stairways, high placement, and fragile finishes may require additional handling.

Chicago project planning
Picture & Mirror Hanging for Chicago Homes & Rentals
Vintage Chicago apartments may have plaster, picture rails, masonry, or uneven walls, while newer condos often use drywall partitions. Large mirrors may also require elevator reservations, clear hallways, and room for two-person handling.

Picture & Mirror Hanging FAQ
Picture & Mirror Hanging Questions
It depends on the exact weight, rear attachment points, wall construction, access, and handling needs. Send front-and-back photos, dimensions, manufacturer information, and a wide view of the wall before the appointment.
Common drywall, plaster, brick, masonry, paneling, and some tiled surfaces can be reviewed for hanging. The surface condition and item weight determine the hardware and may affect the final position.
Yes. Send the frame count and sizes, a photo of the pieces laid out on the floor, and the width and height available on the wall. If you already have a preferred arrangement, include it with the request.
Show the wire, D-rings, cleats, keyholes, or brackets already attached to each piece. The final hardware must suit both the item and the wall, so one hook type should not be assumed to work for every frame or mirror.
Provide the quantity, dimensions, weight, front-and-back photos, wall material, and preferred placement. Mention stairs, high ceilings, narrow hallways, or furniture that affects access.
Yes, when the complete list is provided in advance. Number the pieces or group them by room so pairs, grids, and gallery arrangements can be planned without guessing on site.
Unusually valuable, fragile, oversized, or very heavy pieces may require specialty equipment or an art installer. Ceiling suspension, damaged walls, and difficult high access also need separate review.
