"Ralph, and his team, were the first to respond to my request. They were prompt and flexible enough to take care of my entire project. Ralph finished wiring our warehouse and office in hours, not days or weeks. Ralph and his team were timely and professional, and they finished our project ON-TIME and on budget."
"They were very professional, knowledgeable, and patient for answering all my questions (even some random one that didn't involve the project). The TV wall mount installation was perfect!"
"I had exterior lights installed, drywall ceiling repair, shower tile repair and the tv mounted on wall. Kevin is prompt, friendly and most importantly very skilled with any of the work he and his crew do. They also clean up the work area so that you don’t even know they were there.
Everything is perfect, I can’t say enough about how satisfied I am with the results. The thing that impresses me most is I had 4 very different jobs, and each one was completed like it was his area of expertise. They are very competitively priced on top of it all. I highly recommend The Handy Veteran- you won’t be disappointed"

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.
As with any service provider, it’s customary to tip professional TV mounters after they complete your TV mounting service. Consider tipping 20% of the service cost, or $10 to $20 per professional. Tipping is always appreciated, especially for a labor-intensive mounting job or one that requires multiple people and hours.
There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
Choosing the right size of wall anchors is essential for a secure installation. The size of the wall anchors should match the size of the screws you plan to use. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific wall anchors you purchase. Typically, the packaging of the wall anchors will indicate the appropriate screw size and diameter for a proper fit.
