How Much Does Professional Picture Hanging Cost?
So after all the Googling, YouTubing, and blog reading, you still don’t feel like tackling your picture hanging on your own… What next?
Calling in a professional is an option. But, how much does it cost?
In Minnesota for 2023, the average per square foot investment for hanging items comes out to about $16-$38.50. Time to get the measuring tape out!
Most “regular” pieces you would hang in your home would be an investment between $64-$153 for a professional to hang them. These are some big ranges!
What affects these numbers?
The investment into professional picture hanging can vary depending on many factors. One of these is the installation labor. While you can find cheaper labor many places, professional picture hanging delivers much more than simply “hanging a picture” on your wall. Many things could go wrong when hanging pictures on your walls. There are electrical wires, plumbing and water lines, and more that could be a big problem if pierced. Getting a company that specializes in picture hanging can ensure that these potential problems are understood and prepared for before any holes are made.
The investment into professional picture hanging also depends on the pictures themselves. These factors are typically the size of the frames, the weight of the frames, the stability and durability of the frames for adding special hardware, the complexity of the hanging location, and of course how many pictures you need to hang. Specialty frames and artwork, irregular designs, and excessively heavy pieces can further increase the price of a hanging project as a result of the special hanging hardware and skill required. Additionally, hanging pictures and artwork in a gallery style or collage pattern usually costs more than hanging pictures individually.
