"Povilas is a very skilled electrician. He completed various tasks including replacing outdoor outlets that had failed, replacing interior lights and switches, installing new outlets and lighting in a new shed. All for a very reasonable price! I highly recommend Povilas."
"They did such a great job installing our new 70" Smart TV. Kevin and his crew did a great job and were a breeze to work with! They even connected all our devices and cable box. I highly recommend East West Associates to everyone!"
"I?m so impressed with David?s work. He was very respectful of my home and took the time to do the job right. He saved my favorite wood rolling cart from falling apart and completely fixed my finicky front door. It?s a relief to have everything working properly again!"
Mounting a TV to a brick wall can be safe and secure if done correctly. However, it requires proper installation to ensure the TV is firmly attached and won't pose a risk of falling. Guarantee your television is safely secured by checking the manufacturer's weight limits of your TV mount and wall anchors. Examine the condition and quality of the brick wall to ensure it is capable of sustaining the TV.
You will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you’re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall. Should you decide to remove the mount later, the DIY drywall repair cost for a small hole usually is $10 to $30. It’s a repair you can do in a few minutes.
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.
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.
Professionals can provide alternatives, like using stands or no-drill mounts where applicable.
