Introduction

Pictures and artwork can transform any space, adding personality and warmth. But there’s nothing worse than a crooked frame or unevenly spaced art. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the process of hanging pictures with precision, using the right tools, including lasers. Plus, we’ll introduce you to Core Handyman Services, your trusted partner for all things home improvement.

1. Choosing the Right Laser Level

Before you start hanging pictures, consider the type of laser level you need:

  • Line Laser Level: Ideal for single pictures on one wall. It shoots a straight laser line, making alignment easy.

  • Rotary Laser Level: Perfect for multiple pictures on different walls. It projects a 360-degree laser line, allowing you to level all pictures at once.

2. Gather Your Tools

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Laser Level: Whether it’s a line or rotary laser, this tool is essential.

  • Measuring Tape: Precise measurements ensure accurate placement.

  • Hammer: For hanging nails or screws.

  • Drill and Bits: If you’re using screws.

  • Pencil: Mark your spots.

  • Tape: To create even spacing.

  • Drywall Anchors: If needed.

3. Determine Picture Placement

Decide where you want your picture to hang. You can eyeball it or measure for precision. Consider the width and height of the wall.

4. Hang Your Picture

Follow these steps:

  1. Mark the Top: Use your pencil to mark where the top of the picture frame will go.

  2. Level with Laser: Position your laser level and adjust until it’s level with the mark.

  3. Nail or Screw: Hammer the nail or screw into place.

  4. Check Level Again: Hang the picture and ensure it’s straight.

  5. Repeat for Multiple Pictures: Use the same process for additional frames.
