"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."
"Coastal Installation & AV were at another job when I called, then came right over to my place after they finished. They started and finished my job the same day!!! It was done well and efficiently!!! Very nice and polite young men!!! I would definitely use them again!!! 👍 Thank You for a GOOD experience!!! 🤗"
"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!"
Yes, you can mount a TV on plaster walls—as long as you attach it to the studs. Alternatively, you can use toggle bolts, molly bolts, or another type of hardware that’s strong enough to support a TV.
If you aren’t comfortable with this type of project, you can hire a pro. The cost of mounting a TV to a plaster wall ranges from $25 to $600 (or more), depending on the TV’s weight, size, and other factors.
Yes, drywall can hold a 50-pound TV. However, when mounting a TV, you’ll either need to attach it to wall studs or use drywall anchors. If you use anchors, make sure to buy a type that can hold at least 50 pounds. Molly bolts, threaded anchors, and toggle bolts are all good options. For extra support, you can also install a wall mounting plate with the anchors.
If you don’t have studs in the area where you want to install your TV mount, you may still be able to install a TV mount on drywall. The easiest way to install a mount on drywall is by using drywall anchors—but not just any plastic anchors. Choose molly bolts or toggle anchors, which have a weight capacity of around 50 pounds. For added support, consider pairing drywall anchors with a wall mounting plate. Extra heavy TVs may need to be mounted via the ceiling joists or beams.
