Howzit hanging? A client recently used and recommended ILevel after having them come hang their artwork. Even though they have a small apartment and aren't Rockefellers, they care about their art and didn't have anyone in their building that they trusted to negotiate their concrete walls without making a mess. ILevel did it all for them. Everything is secure, positioned well and it all looks great..
ILevel charges an hourly rate and requires a two hour minimum. Our clients said that the hanging went quickly, but they were happy to pay the minimum. Better that than buying tools and monkeying around with the walls for two hours.
While we believe that most of you CAN hang your own artwork (and have blogged our tips below), we think this is an invaluable service for New Yorkers and worth the investment if you A. have really nice artwork and B. really don't trust your skills. Link: www.ilevel.biz

i used these guys and was very pleased. it ain't cheap – but it was worth it because a) the pieces i was hanging were huge, b) they thought of things i probably wouldn't of thought of (ie, the relation between the position of the two pieces and what would happen when one casted a shadow on the other).
i would say, use them for the more complicated jobs. otherwise, just be patient and measure twice/hammer once.
