"Robby was great to work with from start to finish. He installed a television mount above a stone fireplace and supplied an appropriate mount for the tv. He was able to drill through the natural stone to attach the mount to the studs. It turned out absolutely perfectly and he showed me how to make any future adjustments that might be needed. He helped us with locating the best positioning as well. He was obviously experienced and had no problem handling what seemed to be tricky installation. He kept in touch by phone and text, arrived right on time, came here within days of initial contact, cleaned up, and charged exactly what he quoted which was very reasonable. Genuinely nice guy and highly recommend him."
"Such a great idea of mine to hire them. I had them purchase and install new trim around 3 interior doors and he did a very professional job. Couldn t be more happy with how it turned out. I have plans to hire them in the near future."
"I contacted Cransten Handyman and Remodeling. They suggested Matt, He did an excellent job mounting my TV above my fireplace. He even cleaned up behind themselves! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to have a TV installed!"
"Jesse did an outstanding job! He transformed our back deck by installing a railing and gutters, He repaired the flooring and the steps leading off the deck and added non-slip strips. He also power-washed the house and, noticing some minor issues, made some additional suggestions and repairs. Jesse was very friendly. and pleasant. The cost was reasonable and the work was completed in a timely fashion. We couldn’t be happier with the results. We recommend Renaissance Property Services wholeheartedly and without reservation. Great job!"
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.
The VESA mounting standard refers to the layout of the mounting holes on the back of all televisions that follow the standard. These holes appear in the same place on all TVs of a certain size. This allows the mounting bracket and hardware manufacturers to build the brackets to fit the VESA standard. Ideally, if everyone follows the VESA standard, any brand of TV should fit any brand of mounting bracket, as long as the sizes match up correctly.
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.
The cost to have a TV professionally mounted typically ranges from $160 to $360, with a national average of about $260. This price is for labor and does not include the TV mount itself. Several factors can affect the final cost, including the size of the TV and the type of mount used; for example, a fireplace mount costs more than an under-cabinet one. If you want to hide the wires within the wall, the price can increase significantly, potentially to $1,000 or more. For an accurate estimate, it is best to contact a local TV mounting service.
Professionals can provide alternatives, like using stands or no-drill mounts where applicable.
