Picture hanging service providers can help with every step, from helping you pick the best spot to perfectly hanging your art. Your technician will come with all the materials and tools needed - all you need to do is provide your canvas or framed picture. Here are the usual steps involved for hanging pictures:

Choosing a spot

Professional picture hanging is more than hanging a piece of art on your wall. Your picture hanger will also have an eye for detail and act as an interior designer to help you decide on the best possible placement for your art. This will include considering the light in the room, the furniture in the space, the height of the ceiling, and how many pieces of art you want to hang. If you've got a heavy picture, it may need to be positioned in front of the wooden studs in your walls to help hold the weight. All these factors go into choosing the best position for your art.

Measuring

Once they've helped you decide on a spot for your art, the picture mounter will measure the artwork and the desired position on the wall. They'll mark up pencil lines on the wall and the back of the artwork for accuracy. This will ensure that once the picture is hung, it will be exactly center and perfectly straight.

Hanging your art

Your picture hanging expert will also help you choose the best way to hang your art. They may suggest a temporary solution if you're renting, like command hooks (or even command strips). These will be applied directly to the wall and will need some time to set before you can hang your picture. But if you're looking for a permanent solution, your picture hanger will suggest either wire, hooks, or nails (or a combination) to ensure your picture stays up for years to come. They'll either drill hooks or hammer nails into your wall to do this. After hanging your picture and checking its level, they may also add adhesive bumper pads to the back of your canvas or frame to stop it from sticking to the wall.
