TV Mounting

On the wall, level, cables hidden. One visit.

A TV on the wall is one of those jobs that looks easy until the drill is in your hand. Which anchors, where the studs hide, what a 65 inch screen weighs, what happens if you miss. TV mounting is a standard job for me, and I bring the right mount if you have not bought one yet.

What the job includes

• Studs located and the mount bolted into framing, not just drywall
• Fixed, tilt, or full motion mounts, yours or one I supply
• Screen leveled and centered where you actually watch it
• Cables tucked into a paint matched raceway so the wall stays clean
• Soundbars and streaming boxes hung and plugged in
• Old TV taken down and holes patched if you are upgrading

Tile, plaster, and the block walls common in older desert homes all take different anchors. Send me a photo of the wall and the TV size and I will quote it right the first time.

What it costs

One flat number from your photos before I start, and TV mounting lands nowhere near the $1,000 line. Add a second TV or a few other small jobs to the same visit and the trip earns its keep.

I am not a licensed contractor. California law limits my jobs to under $1,000 total for labor and materials, on work that needs no building permit. If you want a new outlet added behind the screen, that part is licensed electrician work and I will say so before anyone drills.

Other jobs I take all the time: Ceiling Fans, Faucets, Toilet Repair, Garbage Disposals. One visit can cover several, and I work across the whole valley, see where I work.
