What to know about Picture & art hanging
Picture and art hanging covers anything that hangs flat on a wall and has to stay put: framed prints and photos, canvases, heavy mirrors over a dresser or in an entry, and gallery walls where many frames work as one arrangement. The problems come with weight and wall type: a large mirror on a hook meant for a poster, a canvas that slips off level every time a door slams, or a row of frames that looked balanced on the floor and crooked on the wall.

How to choose handymen in Hamilton
- Describe all the small jobs up front so the handyman can bring the right tools and give you a realistic estimate.
- Ask whether they charge by the hour, by the job or with a minimum visit fee.
- For anything involving wiring, gas or new plumbing, use a licensed trade instead of a general handyman.
- Check that they carry liability insurance, especially for work on ladders or on the exterior.
- Ask whether they supply materials or whether you should buy them ahead of time.
Questions to ask handymen before you hire
- Do you charge by the hour or by the job, and is there a minimum?
- Can you do all of the jobs on my list, or will some need a licensed trade?
- Will you bring the materials, or should I buy them?
- Are you insured if something is damaged while you're working?
- How do you handle it if a job takes longer than expected?
Picture hanging permits in Ontario
Some picture hanging work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Ontario
Electrical work
Only a Licensed Electrical Contractor can be hired to do electrical work in your home, and the work must be reported to ESA through a notification (permit). A building permit doesn’t replace it. Ask for the contractor’s ECRA/ESA licence number before you hire.
