"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."
"Had some tvs mounted and a mirror hung. Jason showed up on time, was very courteous, and got the job done quickly. The price was what we agreed on and his rates are very reasonable. Especially for the quality and speed of the work. Thanks!"
"Cransten is the greatest. This is the first time I ever mounted a tv on a wall but I can't imagine it would go any better. Steve was very helpful with the process. He was very thorough and courteous. I will use this company again in the near future and you should as well."
"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!"
"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."
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.
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.
Coax cable connects to your television, modem, or cable box. Look for a female coax connection on these devices. Your coax cable will connect to any of these. The other end of the wire runs to the service connection coming into the house.
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.
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.
