Picture & Art Hanging in Toronto & the GTA

A box of frames leaning against the wall for six months is one of the most common sights in a new home. Picture hanging stalls because every frame invites three decisions — where, how high, and what fastener — and one bad hole in fresh paint feels expensive. So the art stays on the floor.

Professional art hanging is mostly measuring and layout. Centre height around 145 to 152 centimetres to the middle of the piece, adjusted for furniture below it. For a gallery wall installation, we map the arrangement with paper templates or a laser line before any drilling, so the composition is settled while the holes are still imaginary. Fasteners get matched to the wall and the weight: hooks into studs where possible, proper anchors in drywall, pilot-drilled hangers in plaster, and masonry anchors for the concrete walls found in most Toronto condos. Heavy or valuable pieces get two-point hanging so they stay level, and security hardware if you want them locked to the wall.

For a free quote, count the pieces, note anything heavy or oversized, and send photos of the walls and the art. If you have a layout in mind — a staircase run, a grid above the sofa, a picture-rail hang in a century home — describe it and we'll bring the right hardware the first time.

• Single-piece picture mounting at correct viewing height, levelled and secured
• Gallery wall installation with template layout before any holes are drilled
• Hanging heavy framed pieces and canvases with two-point or cleat systems
• Artwork installation on plaster, brick, and concrete condo walls
• Picture-rail and gallery-track hanging for rentals and heritage walls
• Staircase and hallway runs laid out on a consistent sightline
• Mirror-backed and glass-front frames handled with padded care
• Security and earthquake hangers for valuable or public-area pieces
• Levelling and rehanging existing crooked or fallen frames
• Filling and touch-up of old nail holes as we go

• Piece count — hanging twenty frames is a layout project, not twenty small jobs; templates and laser lines keep it efficient
• Weight and size — anything over roughly ten kilograms or a metre wide changes the hardware and may need two people
• Wall material — drywall is quick, plaster wants pilot holes, and concrete needs a hammer drill per hole
• Layout complexity — a symmetric grid or stair-step arrangement takes measuring time a single frame doesn't
• Frame hardware — pieces arriving with no wire or D-rings need hardware added before they can hang
• Height and access — double-height foyers and stairwell walls can need a ladder setup or scaffold, which adds setup time
