There are countless benefits to hiring a professional carpenter in Winnipeg, not least of which is the safety and security of your walls.

Protect Walls

Whether you’re a renter with limitations on wall damage or you’re a homeowner who is trying to limit any additional projects before resale, protecting your walls helps preserve the integrity of your home. Solid and sturdy walls should be maintained at all costs. 

• Minimize damage

Professionals will evaluate your walls and work with you on placement. To figure out the best way to minimize damage, they will use all their expertise and tools to prevent unnecessary holes. 

• Measure 

The old saying is, measure twice and cut once. The same holds true for hammering or screwing holes in the wall. Expert measurements will help keep the holes to a minimum. 

• Stud finder 

The technician in your home will also use a stud finder. A stud finder locates the studs behind the drywall of your walls. If your walls are made of brick or other materials, they will identify necessary additional tools. Using a service also prevents you from having to purchase expensive tools you may only use once. 

• Anchors

Repair services are often called to patch holes in walls due to pulled-out nails or screws. The weight of the frame or item may have been too much for the hardware. Using an anchor to strengthen the connection to the wall will help prevent additional damage.

Gallery Quality 

Gallery walls are a prevalent trend right now but can be frustrating to install. Measuring and hanging several pictures in a row can be a serious challenge. Another option is to create a scattered gallery wall that doesn’t rely on the grid pattern. Either gallery wall option is excellent for creating a modern space, but both will require professional services. 

• Hardware

The correct hardware is required for each piece to make sure that pictures are hung like the galleries do, safe and secure. Depending on the size, orientation, weight, and frame type of the picture, it will require specific hardware to hang it correctly.

• Wire 

Many frames come with a braided metal wire attached, but not always. A professional can attach this wire to your frame to make adjustments easier. They are then attached to the wall by hanging the wire onto a nail or screw already in place.

• D-rings 

D-rings are metal rings that attach to the back of frames that are, you guessed it, in the shape of the letter D. D-rings can be attached on either side of the frame with a wire that can run through and then be hung on the wall. Or,  D-rings can also be attached on either side then hung on the wall with two screws or nails already in place; this secondary option requires more precise measurement. 

• Tabs 

Tabs are the most common hardware attached to a frame. They are usually metal. They can be little circles or squares or longer, teethed rectangles. The purpose of a tab is to attach frames to a nail or screw already in place on the wall. 
With so many options on hardware and placement, calling in a professional will ensure that your pictures are professionally hung, and the process will be stress-free for you. Keep your walls safe and trendy by calling Handyman Connection in Winnipeg to help hang your pictures.
