"They were unbelievable! I ordered STACT wine shelves and they installed them so perfectly. I also added on a swap out of my door handles to the work and they got it all done in a little over 2 hours (the alignment and leveling of the shelves was a work of art and engineering!!). I am hiring them again to mount a tv over the fireplace outside and probably anything else that I ever need done!!!! Can?t recommend them highly enough. Oh and they brought cleaning supplies and cleaned every crumb of dust they made drilling the wall holes!!!"
"Al and his assistant installed two window air conditioning units in windows that another installer said could not be done. The other installer from TaskR installed one of the units in a non-preferred window and left quite a mess, including crooked drill holes in my wooded sills. (My place is 105 years old, but my window sills have metal frames and modern windows.) Al and his assistant’s work was perfection! I was so pleased, I have already referred Al to 2 neighbors. Al is great at communication, very pleasant to work with, and honest. They cleaned up everything and offered to take the boxes and packing materials out to my bins. This was a relatively small job, but worth the money. Al charges a 2-hour minimum, which is more than fair. I will hire Al again and continuing recommending him and his team."
"I hired Marcus to mount three TVs for me I have two 65 inch swivel TVs and one 43 inch simple mount. He did an amazing job from walking me through everything making sure everything was where I wanted it. He also marked everything with blue tape so I could get a visual which was great because I’m a visual person. I’ve attached some of the pictures from that day. Overall would highly recommend his services 10/10."
"It went great was kept in to loop during the work process. They did a fantastic job on both exterior and interior walls. Installed both the wall scones above the new sink. Painted around the sink. Clean up was OK but all old materials were stacked. I would rehire Mike and his crew again"
"Bodhi did an outstanding job hanging my TV, painting a couple walls and helping me install some cabinets. He arrived on time, had all the tools he needed, was courteous and very fair on price. Highly recommend and will be using him again!"
"Dave was great! Super communicative and prompt. He helped us mount our TV that wasn’t super straightforward (a mix of brick, 1 stud and dry wall). He was fast, efficient and professional! Will definitely use him again and highly recommend."
"Joshua was so helpful mounting my TVs to the wall and went above and beyond to help with extra things like moving furniture and taking out trash/recycling. He was very professional and friendly and I will definitely recommend him to my friends. His prices were also the best from anyone else in my area."
"Luis installed dimmer switches in my kitchen and put together 2 pcs of furniture with great professionalism. He was thorough with his work, on time to his job, kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him for any job!"
Finding a professional to mount your television to the wall is a little challenging because no licenses exist for this type of work. You could ask friends or neighbors for recommendations. Check out online reviews, too. Typically, though, almost any local handyman can do the work. A local electronics store or the place where you bought the TV may have a recommendation for you. A local framer or drywall installer might do the work for you as well. If you need an outlet installed for the new TV, an electrician may do both items for you.
If you want to enjoy your favorite movies from the comfort of your backyard or patio, you can mount a TV outside. You’ll want to be thoughtful about its location, ensuring it’s away from water and heat, like a grill or pool. Placing it under a roof, awning, or gazebo is usually a good idea as well for extra protection. Outdoor wiring does add an extra layer of complications with this project, so it may be worth it to hire an electrician to help.
Yes, you can mount a TV on a brick wall as a DIY project. This process requires specific tools, such as a masonry drill and masonry bits, as a regular power drill is not sufficient for drilling into dense surfaces like brick. You will need to drill mounting holes directly into the bricks, not the mortar, to ensure there is enough support for the weight of the TV and its bracket. After drilling, use large plastic wall anchors or concrete screws to securely attach the TV mount.
In most cases, you should not put a TV on a fireplace mantel. The minimum width required to put a TV safely on a shelf or mantel is 10 inches, but pre-made mantels are usually too shallow, averaging at only seven inches deep. If you do choose to place a TV above a mantel, it should be mounted to the wall. However, do so cautiously as heat radiating from the fireplace could potentially cause damage to electronics.
Do not install a TV above an active fireplace or wood-burning stove because of excess heat and temperature fluctuations. Another place that can be tricky for electronics is the bathroom, where moisture can be a factor. If you choose to mount a TV in these areas, you should find a weather-resistant appliance.
