Picture Hanging Service in Lake Eola Heights, FL
Gentle hanging for historic bungalows
In short
In Lake Eola Heights we specialize in hanging pictures on original plaster walls in historic homes — pre-drilling, using plaster-safe anchors and picture-rail hooks so nothing cracks.
Picture hanging in Lake Eola Heights
Lake Eola Heights is one of Orlando's oldest neighborhoods and a designated historic district, stretching north from Lake Eola along brick streets lined with oaks. Its Craftsman bungalows, Mission-style homes and converted garage apartments are beautiful, but their walls need patience and the right tools.
Homes and walls in Lake Eola Heights
Many homes here date from the 1910s to the 1930s and still have plaster over wood lath, sometimes with original picture rail moulding near the ceiling. Some have been partly renovated, so one room may be plaster and the next drywall.
Plaster and lath walls
Original plaster in Lake Eola Heights's older homes is hard on the surface but brittle underneath, and a hammered nail can crack it. We tape the spot, pre-drill with a carbide bit and use plaster-rated anchors — or picture-rail hooks where the moulding survives.
Drywall walls
Drywall in Lake Eola Heights is usually half-inch board over wood studs in houses and over metal studs in condos and apartments. We locate framing with a scanner for anything heavier than about 20 lb and use toggle or self-drilling anchors between studs, so frames sit flush and stay put.
Typical jobs we handle in Lake Eola Heights
For Lake Eola Heights's older homes we test every wall before drilling, since one house can mix original plaster, later drywall and paneling.
Local tip: If your home still has picture rail moulding, use it — a rail hook and cord means zero new holes in historic plaster and makes rearranging easy.

Lake Eola Heights picture hanging FAQ
Can you install a picture rail hanging system in my Lake Eola Heights home?
+
Yes. We can hang art from existing picture rail with hooks and cords, or install a modern track rail if the original moulding is gone. Both avoid putting holes in historic plaster.
Will hanging pictures crack my plaster walls?
+
Not when it's done properly. We tape the surface, pre-drill with a carbide bit and use anchors designed for plaster, which avoids the cracking a hammered nail causes.
