"Mike and his assistant, Mike, came out to install a 65" TV onto a stone facade fire place. I'm pretty handy and have mounted a few TVs, but didn't want to tackle this one. As I didn't need to have any devices hooked up, Mike was able to work with me on the price. They arrived promptly, had all of their required tools, put down coverings to protect everything and went to work. The TV was mounted in short order and they cleaned up."
"Had a great experience with having my TV mounted. He was quick and went the extra mile to ensure that I had great service provided. I hired him multiple times to help with my tv mounting and will continue to recommend his services to all my friends and family."
"Cornell did a great job - tv wall mount and internet setup. A real professional. Works quickly without sacrificing quality. Also, a very pleasant person. Highly recommended."
"I highly recommend Kenneth. He arrived right on time, was professional and very pleasant to work with, and did an excellent job assembling our rocking chairs and small table. He worked efficiently, kept everything neat and organized, and made the whole process easy from start to finish. Quality work, dependable, and genuinely nice—would absolutely hire him again."
He arrived on time and was very professional and polite. In less than four hours, he mounted a ceiling fan, replaced two outside water spigots and replaced a leaky water valve in the bathroom and replaced the flush mechanism in the basement toilet. He checked all of his work and made sure it was right before he left. This time included a run to the hardware store for parts. It is so nice to have everything working properly again. The deal was 4 hours of handyman work for $189 plus parts. The parts came to $89.00. Great job!
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.
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.
Determining if mounting a TV on the wall or mounting it on a stand is better boils down to personal preference. TV mounts are an excellent choice for homes that have limited space, unruly dogs, or young children. They also allow you to customize the height and viewing angle more easily. At the same time, mounting a TV on an entertainment center stand offers additional storage space, a place to hide the wires, and fewer holes in the wall. Renters may also have limitations on drilling holes into the wall above certain diameters.
Fire and electronics typically don't mix, but that doesn't mean you can't mount your TV on a brick fireplace. However, you should proceed with caution. If you do not use your fireplace regularly, you can be assured that your TV will remain undamaged. However, if you do take advantage of it, be aware that hot air, containing soot, will travel upwards. Even with the flue fully open, the temperature above the fireplace can still get very high.
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.
