About
Hey there! My name is Bert and I am a Traveling Art Installer. While my reviews are from all over the country, if I popped up in your search I’m in your neck of the woods. Feel free to reach out!
With over a decade of experience in the fine art world, Align Art Services is bringing museum quality art installation and curation into the home. With real world interior design experience and a wide breadth of knowledge of curatorial methods, our service is far beyond the hammer and nail. We work hands on with you to create a continuous aesthetic and ensure that your home looks and feels the best it can before we leave.
As a part of my tailored service, I like to have a brief phone consultation with my clients to gain understanding of their unique needs so I can properly prepare for the job. After our chat, a $50 deposit is due to hold the appointment. That money goes towards the service and can be paid right through the Thumbtack app.
Can’t wait to help you get one step further towards living in the museum of your own life!

Very pleased to have found Robert (who goes by Bert) - We have recently downsized and find ourselves with too many pieces to hang, yet most have special meaning to us. Bert helped me decide what to hang where without pressure, as he pointed out the size/colors in each piece. We have more to hang, so I look forward to working with Bert at Align Art again.
Wow! Bert was amazing and has such a wonderful, professional, consultative style. We do not have an eye for these things but want our home to look aligned with any artwork we choose. He comes ready for everything. If you are considering any sort of artinstallation or even just simple frames on the wall, highly recommend!!

Bert did a fantastic job. He knew what he was doing and gave great advice on placement, design, and flow for both my painting and mirror.
I’ll be reaching out to him again.

Bert did an amazing job hanging my art. He was extremely careful with it, which I was very happy with as it is a glass piece. Amazing job and would highly recommend!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing starts with a $150 first hour minimum charge. This includes design consultation, curation as well as helps pay for travel time, fuel and hardware expenses. Every hour following is $85 per hour billed in 15 minute increments.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
BFA School of the Art Institute Chicago, 7 years in fine art fabrication, worked for elite level art installation companies in San Diego, Chicago, Seattle, New York, certified custom mount maker, worked in/for The Parrish Art Museum, The California Center for the Arts, SDMA, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Asian Art Museum, Washington State History Museum, along with many others, extensive interior design and construction background
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Growing up in Southern California the son to a contractor and interior designer, I spent a large portion of my childhood on job sites, watching people work to build spaces from nothing. Applying siding to framed walls, like putting flesh over bone. This created a rich curiosity about process and how things get made. That fascination has followed me into adulthood and set the tone for much of my life.
I graduated from The School of the Art Institute Chicago highly trained in art history, curatorial studies, spatial design, and museum practices and looking for a career that I could use my skillset, I found art installation. With over 10 years working in the fine art world, my breadth of experience provides me with a holistic vantage point when installing artwork. I love working closely with my clients to create a tailored aesthetic suited to their needs.
