We are extremely happy we chose Tom to build my daughter’s playset!! So glad he was able to come out to make her dream come true!! She is absolutely thrilled!!! We read his excellent reviews and saw pictures of his work on Thumbtack and had a hunch this was the right professional for our project!! We were right and luck was on our side!! Tom responded immediately. Got right back to us with an estimate and his availability. We scheduled for him to begin work the very next day. He was an hour early which we were super grateful for and he immediately got to work. He didn’t stop all day! Tom is an honest, down to earth, friendly, respectful and dedicated hard worker!! I’ve been in the construction industry for over 30 years and can definitely appreciate a skilled craftsman that keeps his word and is fair when it comes to pricing!! We are very pleased to meet Tom and look forward to working with him in the future!! Thank you sooo much Tom!! Cris, Tata & Sofia ❤️🙏

Tom arrived on time and did a great job! We had artwork to hang and a heavy mirror to anchor to the wall. He is an excellent resource and we would absolutely hire him again!
I highly recommend Tom Rhoads for professional art and picture installation! He did an amazing job installing my very large and heavy 91” × 66” framed piece.
Tom was extremely knowledgeable, professional, careful, and experienced. He knew exactly how to handle such a large and heavy frame and made sure it was securely installed and perfectly positioned. The finished result looks beautiful!
He was also very easy to communicate with and a genuine pleasure to work with. I’m extremely happy with the installation and would definitely recommend Tom to anyone who needs help hanging large, heavy, or valuable artwork.
Thank you, Tom, for doing such a wonderful job!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I usually charge a $75 hourly fee with a 2hr minimum. The minimum helps offset transportation and other expenses.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I answer a request and invite the customer to contact me to iron out any questions. Then we decide on a convenient time for both of us and I always confirm our appointment the day before. I also call the client when I'm heading their way.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
When you have a career that spans from apprentice to foreman to project manager it teaches a person so much. Also, being a homeowner and family man taught me about the things it takes to repair and maintain a home and these are the majority of my requests.
