Serving North Carolina & South Carolina Mountain & Lake Country

​Don't let our name fool you... we are based near Asheville, but we also understand how hard it can be to find professional art installers in the small towns of western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina, so we're happy to travel, even for small projects.

Where We Install Art

From our home base near Asheville, we travel throughout the mountains and foothills of Western North Carolina, into Upstate South Carolina and East Tennessee. We've organized our service area by region so you can quickly find the area closest to your home or project.
Asheville's Premier Neighborhoods
Professional Art Handlers in Asheville, Biltmore Forest & Biltmore Lake
We serve a variety of local neighborhoods in the greater Asheville area, including "the Biltmores" as well as downtown AVL, the RAD, South Slope, Grove Park and Beaver Lake. Whether you're a local artist who has a big commission that needs to be hung out of the reach of a normal ladder, or a new homeowner who's excited to consult with us on the placement of your collection, we're here to help.

North
Art installation in Weaverville, Madison County, Johnson City, TN & Bristol, VA
Our service area extends north from Asheville, through Weaverville and Madison County, and into the Tri-Cities area of East Tennessee and southwest Virginia, including Johnson City and Bristol. If you're furnishing a home in this area, we're happy to work directly with you or coordinate with your interior designer, builder, or property manager to install your art.

Northeast
Art installation in Blowing Rock, Banner Elk & Boone
The High Country has its own particular challenges, from steep mountain roads to tall stairwells and large homes built into sloping lots. We regularly travel to Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk and surrounding communities to help with everything from individual pieces to whole-house art installations.

East & Southeast
Art installation in Black Mountain & Hickory
Our eastern service area follows the I-40 corridor from the Asheville area toward the foothills and Hickory. We work in Black Mountain, Marion, Morganton, Hickory and surrounding communities, making us a convenient installation resource for homes and projects east of Asheville.

​To the southeast, we travel along the Route 226 corridor as far as Shelby, NC.

South
Art installation in Arden, Fletcher & Hendersonville
Just south of Asheville, we regularly work in Arden, Fletcher and Hendersonville, as well as the surrounding communities. This is especially convenient for homeowners, designers and builders who need a professional installer for a new home, renovation or move-in-day project.

Art installation in The Cliffs at Walnut Cove
We also work with homeowners and design professionals in The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, as well as other Cliffs communities throughout the region. Mountain homes in communities like this often involve large artwork, tall walls, stairwells and challenging surfaces, and we're accustomed to working carefully within those spaces.
​
Art installation in Lake Keowee, SC
We travel south into the Lake Keowee area of Upstate South Carolina, including the surrounding lake communities. Because many Lake Keowee homes are second residences, we're also accustomed to coordinating installations with interior designers, builders and property managers when the homeowner isn't present.

Southwest
Art installation in Cherokee, Cashiers, Sylva & Highlands
The communities southwest of Asheville are some of our most distinctive service areas. Cashiers, Highlands, Sylva and Cherokee are home to many mountain properties and second homes, where artwork may need to be installed on stone, wood, wallpaper or other non-conventional surfaces, often in rooms with considerable height. We carry the professional-quality scaffolding and other equipment needed to work in these challenging spaces.

West
Art installation in East Tennessee, Tellico, Townson & Walland
As residents of nearby Madison County to the north of Asheville, we're happy to travel west toward East Tennessee and the Tellico area. For larger projects such installing a large collection or working in commercial spaces, we're also able to make the trip to Knoxville.

Too far away? Travel services for art installation in Western North Carolina are available.

​For those located a little bit beyond our service area, we are available to travel and stay near your location overnight. This typically makes sense for larger projects, such as when you're moving to Western North Carolina and need someone to hang a whole collection, or when you need a professional art installer for interior designers.

Not sure if we're close enough? We welcome inquiries from everyone, so feel free to ask.

Who Do We Work With in the Carolina Region?

We've built many wonderful friendships and business relationships with locals who needed artwork installed, from people moving to Asheville who need an art handler to install their collection, to artists who needed a single painting installed in a hard-to-reach location. Here's a quick list of the people we regularly assist:

Special Considerations When Installing Art in Carolina Mountain & Lake Country

Installing art in the mountain and lake regions can be a little different from installing it in town. Many beautiful mountain homes have a two-story stairwell, a 20-foot-tall stone fireplace, a tall feature wall of rough wood, and a piece of artwork that somehow ended up needing to go *way up there*. What looks simple from the sofa can be a very different proposition once you're standing underneath it with a ladder.

Then there are the surfaces. We work with everything from painted drywall and wallpaper to stone, plaster, wood paneling and textured finishes. Each one calls for a little thought before we start drilling holes. Hanging heavy framed mirrors and large artwork can require two people to handle everything safely, particularly when we're working over a vanity, fireplace, staircase or other location where there isn't much room for error.

The geography itself can also be part of the equation. Homes around Asheville, Cashiers, Highlands, the High Country and the mountain lake communities can be spread out, tucked down winding roads, or sitting considerably farther from town than the map initially suggests. We know that a 45-minute drive on a mountain road isn't quite the same thing as a 45-minute drive on the interstate, so we plan accordingly and arrive prepared.

And because so many mountain homes are second homes, vacation homes or seasonal residences, the person meeting us at the door isn't always the person who owns the art. We're accustomed to working with homeowners, installing art for interior designers, and scheduling with builders, property managers and other members of the team to keep things moving.

In short, mountain homes are often beautiful, interesting and occasionally a little tricky. That's part of what we enjoy about working in them. We bring the ladders, hardware, extra hands and a willingness to figure out how to get that very large painting onto that very tall wall, safely and efficiently.
