Professional Hanging Service Chicago

Frames on drywall pose a threat to the integrity of your drywall when not hung properly or securely. As a homeowner, you're probably very aware of holes in drywall, especially if you've had drywall repair with us before. Lucky for you, repairing a hole in drywall caused by the complicated task of picture hanging is simple too. All you'll need are some pieces of hardware to remove screws and nails and some Spackle. Let's take a look:

• First, take down your artwork.
• Next, remove nails, screws and anchors.
• Then, apply a thin layer of spackle over the drywall hole. If it is a larger hole, you may need some joint compound, which will ensure your wall's surface is finished nicely. However, if they're small homes, spackle should do the trick.
• Following the spackle application, use a sanding sponge to gently sand the area until the surface is flush.
• Finally, paint over your newly covered hole with some paint.

Both nails and screws are trusted supplies for hanging picture frames and mirrors onto your walls. That being said, it is ideal to put a screw in place of a nail if you're hanging that is more than 10 pounds. Nails can be hammered directly into the drywall and hammered in at a 30-degree angle. This will reduce the pressure on the drywall while still providing support for larger frames. You should not drill a screw into drywall directly because it won't be secure. A screw should be drilled into a wall stud—unless you're using a wall anchor.

Finally, you should avoid areas close to light switches and your plumbing system. The last thing you would want is to accidentally drill into a pipe while trying to hang your array of artwork.
