We understand how important it is to personalize your home with family photos and memories. However, a little care in how you hang pictures can go a long way in preserving the condition of your rental space while still creating a beautiful photo gallery.
Traditionally, using nails or screws to hang items can cause damage to the walls. Even peel-off hangers can sometimes leave marks or pull off paint when removed. The repair process for these damages can be both time-consuming and costly, often involving multiple steps such as filling holes, sanding, and repainting. Matching paint colors can also be tricky, and in some cases, an entire wall may need to be repainted just to fix a small hole. On average, a single repair could cost around $150 or more (as of 2024).
To avoid these potential costs when you move out, we highly recommend using damage-free hanging solutions, such as Command™ Hooks, which are widely available at retailers like Walmart and Home Depot. These products allow you to hang your pictures without leaving any lasting damage, making the move-out process much smoother.
