Installation Services We Provide
Museum and gallery installation
Permanent collections, rotating exhibitions, and incoming loans installed to institutional standards.
Residential installation
Paintings, mirrors, and wall works placed and hung properly in private homes, from single pieces to full collections.
Sculpture placement
Heavy and fragile three-dimensional works rigged, positioned, and secured indoors or out.
Deinstallation
Works come down in controlled order, are checked against your existing documentation, and are soft-packed or crated by the same team, so nothing changes hands between the wall and the truck.
Exhibition turnover
Complete change-outs: one show down, the next show up, on the gallery’s calendar.
Hardware and mounting solutions
Hanging systems, cleats, security hardware, and mounts matched to the work and the wall.
How a Professional Installation Runs
It starts before anyone lifts a frame. We review the works, the walls, and the plan: wall construction, weight loads, sight lines, lighting, and any security or environmental requirements. Heights and placements are confirmed with the curator, designer, or owner. Then the work goes up on hardware rated for it, level, secure, and documented.
Deinstallation gets the same discipline in reverse, because most damage to art happens during handling, not display. Works come down in controlled order, are condition-checked against existing reports, and are soft-packed or crated by the same team, so nothing changes hands between the wall and the truck.
In private homes, the installation standard travels with us. Floors are protected, walls are marked only where agreed, debris leaves with the crew, and the homeowner approves each placement before a single anchor is set. The result should look like the art was always there and the installers never were.

Got Questions? We've got answers
We answer the questions people actually ask before hiring a mover: licensing, coverage, pricing, and what happens on moving day.
Paintings, works on paper, mirrors, tapestries, photography, and sculpture, from intimate pieces to works requiring rigging. If it hangs, stands, or mounts, our preparators have likely installed its cousin.
Yes. We take down existing works, condition-check and pack them, and install their replacements in one coordinated visit, which is how galleries handle exhibition turnover.
Always. Placement decisions belong to the curator, designer, or owner; the engineering of getting work safely onto the wall belongs to us. The collaboration is the job.
Hardware is selected for the wall as much as the work: plaster, masonry, paneling, and modern drywall each call for different anchors and methods. We assess before drilling anything.
For complex projects, yes. A walkthrough confirms wall conditions, access, and placement plans so installation day holds no surprises. Single-piece residential installs can usually be assessed on arrival.
Yes. Heavy and oversized works are why professional installation exists: wall structure is assessed, load-rated hardware is used, and enough trained hands are on site to control the piece at every moment.
