About
I’m new to this platform, but not this business. With over 30 years of experience in professional art installation, I bring an expert eye, steady hand, and deep respect for every piece I handle. From priceless works of fine art to cherished family photos, I approach each project with the same level of precision, care, and discretion.
My background includes decades of work with high-end clients, private collectors, museums, and art galleries, ensuring every installation meets museum-quality standards. Whether it’s creating a perfectly balanced gallery wall in a home or securely mounting valuable artwork in a curated space, I combine technical expertise with a refined aesthetic sensibility to make each piece look its best—and stay protected for years to come.
** My services don’t include mounting T.V’s or assembling furniture. Thank you for understanding.**
Rates: $125 for the first hour and $95 for each additional hour. One hour minimum.
If no one is available at the scheduled location upon my arrival and the job is unable to proceed, the client will be responsible for travel time at my agreed-upon hourly rate.

Had a great experience working with Chris!
We had a custom woodwork art piece that held a lot of value to us and were looking for someone we trusted to prepare the piece and hang it appropriately.
Chris did a perfect job preparing the piece and centering it on the wall. He was very responsive, kind, and within 24 hours of reaching out completed the job.
Would highly recommend!

Working with Chris was the best! He was on time, kind, responsive, and had great thoughts when we had a few questions about where to hang our artwork. We’d work with Chris again in a second, thank you, Chris!

Helped me not only hang a gallery wall but determine how to stylize it. Helped make my dreams come true- it looks amazing and he was a treat to get to know. I’ll have him back for my next project.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is based on not only my time and extensive experience but also the materials I use and have to replenish after each job. I also try to be very fair with my pricing because we’re all people just trying to get through the day. I’m never going to recklessly overprice a job.
Rates: $125 for the first hour and $95 for each additional hour. One hour minimum.
If no one is available at the scheduled location upon my arrival and the job is unable to proceed, the client will be responsible for total travel time at my agreed-upon hourly rate.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to arrive at the location and if the customer is ready, I’m happy to jump right in and get started. I will gladly do as I’m asked but I’m also very happy to discuss options, problem solve and help design the space to look flawless.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to the Art Institute of Chicago and I am an artist, so I have an extensive background in hanging fine art and have being doing it professionally for over 30 years.
