Pro Hanging

Positives: Igal knows how to proficiently hang pictures, mirrors etc. He is knowledgable regarding hardware, hanging techniques and styles. There is no question he is accomplished in his field of work. He was punctual for each visit and came with all of the necessary tools.

Negatives: Attitudinally, Igal leaves something to be desired. He was a dour and humourless presence in our home. He grumbled about the work, was opinionated in a negative way and kept leaving our house before the job was done, even though the scope of the job was clear from the beginning.

Story: I explained to Igal on our very first phone call that we had many, many pieces of art to hang and that we needed to book him for a full day. Visit 1: I showed him all 45 pieces, with each painting already positioned on the floor exactly below where we wanted it hung. After 5 hours (including a lunch break), he announced he had to leave. The job wasn't done, but we didn't grumble. We did, after all , have a lot of art to hang. We waited 4 days for a second visit. Visit 2: I reviewed, once again, the remaining pieces to be hung. All of the same paintings were still positioned exactly as per Visit 1. After a couple of hours, Igal announced he had to leave. Huh? He knew the scope of the work, so we found this confusing. We waited a full week for him to come again. Visit 3: Igal came for two hours and once again announced he had to leave. We had one painting left to hang and another to adjust by 2" and yet he refused to stay to finish the job. To be clear: we did not ADD any art pieces. The list of 45 paintings (plus one mirror) remained un-changed. We also did not CHANGE where we wanted them hung. We did not even ask for a lot of after-the fact adjustments. We only requested that two pieces be hung slightly higher. Igal altered one and left on Visit 3 without doing the other. We found this behaviour bizarre. We always paid Igal in full at the end of each visit. We were courteous to him. We listened to his opinions and followed his advice. We offered him beverages on each visit. We were not happy with the way we were treated in return. Bottom line: his work is good and his attitude is bad.

Igal did a wonderful job hanging a large, fragile art piece in a difficult-to-reach location. He is calm and competant AND he gently suggested that we should consider hanging it on the opposite wall. He was right!

Igal finished a difficult job in under one hour. We will hire him again. Worth every penny.

Igal did a very professional job. arrived on time, was fully prepared with the equipment he needed. The job was done on time, cleaned up the site and was completed as promised on budget. It I could I would give Igal 11 stars out of 10. Great job, I highly recommend him and his work

Igal is an expert in this field. He is knowledgeable, efficient, friendly and prompt. Besides artfully hanging several pictures in my living and dining room he hung a very heavy mirror onto a built-in desk unit and installed two large wall mounted headboards with what I learned is called a 'French cleat' system. All was done in less that two hours at a time that worked for me, very early on a Saturday morning. I am very pleased with all of the work and expect that I will be calling ProHanging when I am ready to hang m next new art piece, TV or anything else!

After our renovation we had several things to hang, which included a few VERY heavy mirrors, floating credenza, drapery and art. A friend highly recommended Igal who we called and within the day (lucky for us) was able to come to the house and stayed till everything was hung perfectly. While his specialty is mirrors/art etc he hung our ceiling mounted drapery flawlessly!

He brings his own tools and hanging elements so you don't have to worry for a minute whether the right hooks are being used, he was efficient, and explained what he was doing well.

I would recommend Igal to anyone needing things to go on a wall, done right! A true resource!

I have been meaning to write this review for a while now. It has been over a year and our mirror still looks great. Igal did a great job. He hung a very heavy and expensive mirror by himself without damaging the mirror, wall, or hardwood floors. It was an usual mirror and the company who made the mirror positioned the hooks on the back awkwardly. Igal re-positioned them, hung the mirror and even secured the mirror to the wall with a bit of silicone (to prevent guests from nudging or moving the mirror inadvertently).

I will definitely call him again for other projects as they arise.

Very impressed by Igal. He showed upon time, recommended how high to hang our art and was done in 20 mins. And best of all, our artwork looks amazing. Well worth having this done by a professional like Igal.

Igal was on time, professional, and worked with ease to transform our office into a beautiful gallery showpiece. He has a well trained eye to assist with hanging the paintings in a pleasing manner. Igal is very knowledgeable and the overall experience was great.

We contacted the service because we had a number of pictures to hang in our condo after moving from a house. We wanted a large one to be mounted on a mirrored wall and did not have the where with all to do this ourselves. Igal arrived early and quickly and efficiently set to work. The mirror mounted canvas was done with industrial strength Velcro and looks great. Igal had a good idea for wall placement of the other art and made sure everything was firmly mounted. He then took some time to hide wiring for two new stereo speakers within a built in in our living room. Would certainly recommend his service to our friends.

After moving into our new house, we had a lot of pictures, paintings and wall-hangings that needed to be put up. We contacted Igal after seeing his profile on HomeStars. He was punctual and helpful in placing the art, and was very pleasant to deal with. His service was well worth the money, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.
