If you’re looking for someone to mount your TV, you have several solid options:
- Local handyman or mounting specialists: Platforms like TaskRabbit, Handy, Thumbtack, and similar services connect you with professionals who can mount TVs on various wall types (drywall, brick, concrete) and handle cables, outlets, and mounting hardware. These services typically offer reviews, upfront pricing, and guarantees or insurance where available. If you want a quick match, search for “TV mounting” or “TV wall mount installation” in your city on these sites and compare rates and availability.
- General contractor or home improvement pros: If your wall is tricky (e.g., brick, plaster, or multiple studs), a licensed contractor or experienced carpenter can assess load requirements, locate studs, and ensure safe installation, especially for larger screens.
- Electronics retailers and installation services: Some electronics stores offer professional mounting as an add-on when you purchase a TV, or they can refer trusted installers in your area. This can be convenient if you’re already buying a TV or mount from the same provider.
- Local trades directories: Checkatrade, Bark, or similar local directories can help you find vetted TV mounting professionals near you. Look for specialists with electrical or carpentry experience and check reviews.
What to consider before booking
- Wall type and mounting requirements: Drywall vs. studded walls, brick, concrete, or tilted/full-motion mounts. Let the pro know your TV size, weight, VESA pattern, and whether you want cable management.
- Safety and liability: Verify that the installer is insured and can mount securely to support the TV’s weight, plus anti-tip precautions if children or pets are present.
- Power and accessible outlets: Ensure there's an outlet where you want the TV and that any concealment plan (behind-wall cable routing) complies with local codes.
- Time, cost, and guarantees: Get a few quotes, ask about travel fees, installation time, and whether mounting hardware is included or if you need to provide your own.
If you share your city or zip code, TV size, and wall type, I can help narrow down the best options and draft a quick checklist or clarifying questions to use when contacting installers.
