TV Mounting

A TV mounted level, secure, and without cords hanging down the wall.

Mounting a TV properly means matching the bracket and hardware to both the TV's weight and the wall material behind it, since drywall alone often isn't enough support without hitting studs or using the right anchors. Visits start by checking the wall type and planned location before any drilling happens.

Shore homes bring some variety here — plaster walls in older properties, brick or masonry fireplaces where customers want a TV mounted above, and stud spacing that doesn't always line up conveniently with the desired spot. Each of these changes the approach and hardware needed.

Cord management is usually part of the request too, whether that's a simple cord cover or routing cables through the wall to a lower outlet. Any new electrical outlet needed behind the TV is separate from the mounting work itself and can be arranged if needed.

Problems we get called about

  • Finding secure stud placement

    TVs mounted where the desired spot doesn't align with wall studs, requiring adjusted placement or additional support hardware.

  • Mounting on brick or masonry

    Fireplaces and masonry walls that need specific anchors and drilling approaches different from standard drywall.

  • Visible cords and cables

    Homeowners wanting a cleaner look with cords hidden through the wall or managed with a cover.

  • Matching bracket to TV weight and size

    Larger or heavier TVs that need a properly rated mount rather than a generic bracket.

  • Re-mounting or relocating an existing TV

    Moving a previously mounted TV to a new wall or adjusting its height and angle.

What the work may include

  • Locating studs and confirming appropriate mounting hardware
  • Mounting TVs on drywall, brick, or masonry walls
  • Selecting brackets rated for the TV's size and weight
  • Leveling and securing the mount
  • Managing or concealing cords along the wall
  • Relocating previously mounted TVs to new positions
