"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."
"Chris mounted my Smartv, installed an HD antenna and made sure that I understood the operation of my set-up. I am very pleased with his work & professionalism. Reasonably priced. Would definitely use his services again."
"What an absolutely fantastic experience it was having Dustin from Elevated Entertainment set up my TV. Dustin mounted the 55” Sony Bravia tv, connected my soundbar, as well as dvd player, and he meticulously transferred all the streamline apps to this new TV. He also assembled the tv stand as well. I highly recommend reaching out to Dustin for your tv mounting services, etc. He is professional, capable, knowledgeable and patient. As a senior, it was a comfort having someone of his expertise assemble and set up my tv. Further, before he left, he made sure I knew exactly how to use the dvd player, Sony tv and soundbar!! Thank you Dustin for your attention to detail and expertise. You were a life saver."
"We hired them to take down a television off of a wall mount and install a newer and larger television on the same wall mount. Mike and Shane were very polite and professional in their work. Appointment was set for 5:00 PM and they called around 1:00 to say they were running well ahead of schedule. They came over promptly after the call and had our new tv installed before the football game I wanted to watch. We would not hesitate to recommend them."
"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!"
"M&D Property Solutions did a great job at installing a Radon mitigation system for us. Braden was awesome to work with! All done in one day and completely satisfied with it. I would definitely recommend!"
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.
Hiring a pro ensures safe, secure installation, preventing damage to walls and TVs.
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.
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.
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.
