What we mount.
- A new TV still in its box, and the wall where it should go.
- A TV on a stand that you want up on the wall.
- An old mount that has started to tip forward, or a plate pulling away from the wall.
- Cables hanging under the screen that you want inside the wall.
The plate is the part that matters.
A mount is two pieces of steel and the bolts that tie them to the house: a plate on the wall, and a bracket or an arm on the back of the TV. The plate carries the weight. It goes into the studs with lag bolts long enough to bite the wood behind the wall, and it goes up level, because a screen a few degrees off is the first thing anyone notices.
Brick and concrete take different anchors and a different drill, and so does the stone around a fireplace. Tell us what the wall is when you send the job. If you're not sure, we check the wall before we drill. If it isn't what you described, we stop and tell you, and the price moves only if you say yes.
Say how you want the screen to sit, because a tilt or an arm that pulls out takes a different bracket from a flat plate. Bought one already? Tell us before we book. It changes the price.
Cables, and the power behind the TV.
Cables can run inside the wall, from behind the screen down to the box and the soundbar, with a plate at each end. That's ours. A new outlet behind the TV is a different job. Wiring that doesn't exist yet is an electrician's job, and we tell you which side it falls on when you call.
Over a fireplace there's often brick or a chimney where you'd expect studs. That changes the anchors and the price. If we need to see it before we can put a number on it, that look is free.
How a mount goes.
- We mark the height with you. Sitting where you'll watch from, before anything is drilled.
- We find the studs and level the plate. The lag bolts go in, and the level goes back on the plate.
- Cables go in the wall, if that was the job. One plate behind the screen, another down at the box.
- The TV goes on. Checked for level, then the tilt or the arm is tried both ways.
- You see what went into your wall. The floor stays covered while we work, and the invoice names the bracket and the bolts, with the receipt if the bracket was ours.
What a mount costs.
- The size of the TV and the bracket it takes. A full-motion arm is more work than a flat plate.
- Cables run inside the wall or not. Running them adds time, and the quote says so.
- The wall. Brick or concrete takes longer than a stud wall.
Labor is one number for the job, in writing. It changes only if you say yes to a change.
Asked about TV mounts.
Will my wall hold a big TV?
It depends on what's behind the paint. We find the studs and check the wall before the plate goes up. If the wall can't take the TV where you want it, you hear that first, along with where it can go.
Can you take down the old mount?
Yes, at the same visit. The old bolt holes get patched and textured to match. If you have the paint, they get painted out too.
Can the cables go inside a brick wall?
Not inside the brick. On brick or concrete they run in a paintable channel on the surface, and the quote says which you're getting.
What if the mount works loose?
Fails within a year? Tell us what's broken. The return visit is ours.
The TV that needs a wall
Level and into the studs, with the cables inside the wall if you want them. No bracket yet? We bring one at cost.
We name the part and bring it with us.
Call, or show us what's broken in the form. Any day between 7am and 7pm, the part's name and the price come back inside two hours.
