Picture & art hanging
Detailed Description
Hanging Art Properly in Your Toronto & GTA Home Is More Than Putting Holes in Walls
A single picture hung slightly off-level draws the eye every time you walk into the room — the crooked frame is always more noticeable than the image inside it. A gallery wall where multiple frames don’t align on a consistent horizontal baseline looks cluttered rather than curated. Heavy framed pieces or mirrors hung on drywall with a single finishing nail will eventually fail — the question is when. Getting picture hanging right in a Toronto & GTA home is about level, alignment, appropriate hardware for the weight, and the layout planning that makes a collection look intentional rather than assembled over time.
At CNG Contracting, picture and art hanging in Toronto & GTA covers everything from a single significant piece to a full gallery wall arrangement. Proper hardware for the actual weight, level confirmed with a spirit level rather than by eye, and for gallery walls, a layout plan that establishes the arrangement on the floor before a single hole goes in the wall of your Toronto & GTA home.
What Good Picture Hanging Requires in Toronto & GTA Homes
- Weight-Appropriate Hardware: A small framed print and a large framed mirror require completely different anchoring. We assess weight before selecting hardware — not after the nail pulls through the drywall.
- Two-Point Hanging for Large Pieces: Frames wider than 50cm should hang from two points for stability and level retention. Single-point hanging on wide frames allows the frame to rotate over time.
- Gallery Wall Layout Planning: We plan multi-piece arrangements on the floor before transferring to the wall in your Toronto & GTA home — this allows spacing and composition to be refined without committing to wall holes.
- Consistent Baseline: Gallery arrangements in Toronto & GTA homes read as intentional when they share a consistent top, center, or bottom line rather than appearing randomly distributed.

Frequently Asked — Picture Hanging in Toronto & GTA
Can you hang art on plaster walls in older Toronto & GTA homes?

Do you help with gallery wall layout decisions?

Why is a Technical Visit necessary?
Hanging art isn't just about putting a nail in the wall. A heavy mirror or framed glass art can tear through drywall if not anchored correctly. Our Picture & Art Hanging assessment checks your wall material—whether it's modern drywall, concrete, or the delicate lath and plaster found in older Toronto homes—to select the correct anchors (toggle bolts, studs, or masonry screws) that ensure your art never falls.
