General Mounting in Manhattan
Artwork, mirrors, shelves, curtains and blinds. Installed by A Guy Who Can Fix It — from one piece to a complete room.
What Our Guys Mount & Install
A picture above the sofa. Shelves in the office. Curtains across an entire apartment. General Mounting brings the finishing pieces of a Manhattan property into place, with several tasks combined into one visit when needed.
Artwork & Picture Hanging
Paintings, framed photography, prints, canvases, sculptural wall art and gallery walls. One statement piece, a straight row or a complete collection installed to your layout.
Mirror Installation
Framed, frameless, decorative, oversized and bathroom mirrors. We review the weight, hanging points and wall before selecting the installation method.
Shelves & Floating Furniture
Floating shelves, display shelving, wall-mounted cabinets, desks and storage. Positioning and support are planned around the piece and the load it will carry.
Curtains, Blinds & Shades
Curtain rods, wall and ceiling tracks, manual blinds, shades and motorized window treatments. Individual windows or a coordinated installation across several rooms.
Accessories & Furniture Anchoring
Towel bars, hooks, bathroom accessories, kitchen rails and wall organizers. Anti-tip anchoring for dressers, bookcases, cabinets and other compatible furniture.
Commercial Mounting
Artwork, mirrors, product shelves, physical retail displays, signs, dimensional letters and acoustic panels for offices, stores, galleries and hospitality spaces.
Art Installation & Picture Hanging in Manhattan
Every wall has room for a story. Preferably a level one. We hang original paintings, photography, prints, antique frames, tapestries, shadow boxes and three-dimensional art, planning the placement around the collection and the room.
Gallery Walls & Picture Rows
Linear rows, grids, mixed-frame compositions, staircase arrangements, triptychs and multi-panel works. You can supply a designer's elevation or agree the layout with your Guy before mounting begins.
We establish the reference line, spacing and relationship to nearby furniture. For larger collections, numbered photos or a room plan help keep each piece in its intended position.
Specialty Art-Hanging Systems
Gallery rails, cable-hanging systems, French cleats, concealed fixings and security hangers. These are useful for valuable pieces, substantial frames and properties where artwork rotates regularly.
Send photos of the front and back of the piece, its dimensions and weight, and any existing hanging hardware. For oversized or delicate works, we plan the crew and handling before the appointment.
Artwork on High Walls
Our Guys have ladders of different heights for installations on tall walls and near the ceiling. Staircases, double-height rooms and difficult positions are reviewed in advance. When the work needs scaffolding, a lift or other specialist access equipment, it is quoted as a separate project.
Curtain Rods, Blinds & Shade Installation
Window treatments should fit the window and the way you use the room. We install curtains, blinds and shades for Manhattan apartments and businesses, including multiple-window projects.
Curtain Rods & Ceiling Tracks
Single and double rods, wall-mounted tracks, ceiling tracks, bay-window arrangements, sheer curtains, blackout curtains and room-divider systems. We review curtain weight, bracket spacing, opening direction and the final drop.
For a replacement, include photos of the existing fittings. For a new installation, send window measurements, product links and your preferred mounting position.
Blinds & Manual Shades
Roller, Roman, cellular, solar and blackout shades, along with wood and Venetian blinds. Inside- and outside-mount products are installed according to their dimensions, clearances and manufacturer's instructions.
Across several windows, we plan consistent placement while allowing each blind or shade to operate properly. Include the quantity and the rooms involved when booking.
Motorized Window Treatments
Motorized curtain tracks, shade motors, remotes, wall controls and compatible sensors. Installation can include travel-limit settings, remote pairing and grouping several windows. Product information helps us review the power supply and controls beforehand.
Where the project needs power connections or broader smart-home integration, we coordinate with Electrical Help and Smart Home Installation as part of the agreed scope.
Mirror & Shelf Installation
Mirrors for Living Rooms & Bathrooms
Decorative mirrors, frameless panels, oversized mirrors, medicine cabinets and LED mirrors. Position, wall construction and mounting hardware are reviewed together. Heavy or multi-panel installations may need several Guys and a project estimate.
For glass replacement or a wider glass installation, the work can be coordinated with Glass Service. Power for illuminated mirrors can be included through Electrical Help.
Floating Shelves & Wall-Mounted Cabinets
Decorative ledges, bookshelves, kitchen and bathroom shelving, floating cabinets, wall desks and modular storage. The intended load determines the support the installation needs.
When a piece also needs assembly, joining sections or door and drawer adjustment, we combine mounting with Furniture Assembly & Installation. Send the product instructions and tell us what the shelves will hold.
Heavy Objects, High Walls & Complex Mounting
The Object & the Surface
We work with drywall, plaster, brick, concrete, tile, stone and wood paneling. Wall construction, support locations, mounting points and intended load guide the method. The area is assessed with scanning equipment appropriate to the surface before drilling.
Large art, substantial mirrors, stone shelves and heavy cabinets may need additional technicians, temporary supports or controlled lifting equipment.
A Separate Project Estimate
Complex mounting is calculated as a project. The estimate accounts for the installation, crew, access, scaffolding or a tower, lifts and any other equipment the job requires.
Send photos of the object and wall, dimensions, weight, installation height, mounting instructions and access details. We review the plan and agree the project price before proceeding.
Terrace, rooftop and exterior installations are also reviewed as individual projects, with the mounting surface, weather exposure and building access taken into account.
Mounting for Businesses, Designers & Property Managers
Commercial Spaces & Designer Projects
Offices, retailers, restaurants, galleries, showrooms and hospitality properties. We install artwork, mirrors, shelving, window treatments, physical displays, directories and signage from supplied layouts or agreed placement instructions.
For designers and art consultants, numbered inventories, elevations and product schedules can guide work across several rooms. Crew size and access are arranged around the project.
Several Tasks. One Contact.
A new art collection, replacement shades or shelves across a managed property. General Mounting can be combined with other work through our Property Management Services.
Relocating an item can also include agreed hole filling and local finish work through Minor Home Repair. Send the complete task list so it can be planned together.

Can you hang a gallery wall or several pictures in a row?

Can you work on high walls or near the ceiling?
Yes. We have ladders of different heights for high-wall mounting. Send the installation height and photos of the access area. Projects requiring scaffolding, a tower, a lift or other specialist equipment receive a separate project estimate.
Can you install a heavy mirror or floating shelves?
Yes. We review the weight, dimensions, wall structure and mounting system first. For shelves, tell us the intended load. Large mirrors or substantial suspended furniture may require several Guys and additional supports.

Drywall, plaster, brick, concrete, tile, stone and wood paneling. The mounting method depends on the actual surface, available structural support and the object. Include photos of the wall and the item's hanging points when booking.
Can I combine several mounting jobs in one visit?
Yes. Artwork, mirrors, shelving, curtain rods, blinds and accessories can be planned together. Send the complete list and quantities. Larger multi-room or commercial installations can be organized as a project with the appropriate crew.
