Oscar was amazing! He was extremely responsive and accommodating when booking the project. He came right on time, and helped me design and hang a framed art/photo wall collage in my home office. It looks amazing - everything was hung nicely, and did a great job configuring the collage. Oscar has a great eye for design!

Oscar was excellent and stood behind his work. after he hung the picture 15 ft up the side of a wall and made sure it was level he left. we then noticed that because the walls aren't completely straight and there was a hallway underneath the wall that wasn't perfectly level, it made the picture frame not look level. so when we told Oscar he came back and balanced it according to the walls so that it looked level even though the bubble level didn't show it. great work and guaranteed to make us happy.
Had a number of pictures to have hung. Oscar showed up on time, completed within the time estimate. Everything looks great.

Oscar hung some b&w music photos in my office and a large piece in my living room. He did a fantastic job and was done in no time. Highly recommend Oscar and will be using him again for my office. Thanks !
As a designer, I work with many artinstallers and feel so lucky to have found Oscar for a Chicago hanging project. He is extremely professional and friendly. I learned of all his framing and hanging experience and that he is also an accomplished photographer. You won’t be disappointed if you hire Oscar!
