Express Mounting FAQ

General TV Mounting

How much does it cost to mount a TV?
The average cost to mount a TV ranges from $100 to $400 depending on wall type, mount style, and whether wires are concealed. Express Mounting offers competitive pricing with guaranteed quality.
Can I mount a TV myself?
Yes, but hiring a professional like Express Mounting ensures secure installation, correct height, and no wall damage. DIY mounting requires tools, a stud finder, and safety precautions.
Do all TVs work with wall mounts?
Most modern TVs are VESA compatible and work with wall mounts. Be sure to check your TV’s VESA pattern and weight to select the right mount.
Is it safe to mount a TV on drywall?
Yes, as long as the mount is secured into wall studs. Express Mounting technicians use professional tools to ensure your TV is securely and safely installed.
What size screws do I need to mount my TV?
Most TVs use M6 or M8 screws, but it varies by manufacturer. Express Mounting provides the correct hardware during installation to ensure a perfect fit.
How high should I mount my TV?
For optimal viewing, the center of your TV should be at eye level when seated—generally 42 to 48 inches from the floor. We help you determine the perfect height for your room.
Can I mount a TV without drilling?
There are some no-drill mounting solutions, but they aren't as secure or durable. We recommend wall mounting into studs or using a floor stand for safety and longevity.

Can Express Mounting hide the TV wires?
Yes! We offer in-wall and external cable concealment options to keep your setup clean and clutter-free.

TV Mounting Features and Functionality

What is a full-motion TV mount?
A full-motion mount allows you to extend, tilt, and swivel your TV in multiple directions. This gives you more flexibility in viewing angles, especially in large or irregular rooms.
Can I swivel or tilt a mounted TV?
Yes, if you use a tilting or full-motion mount. Express Mounting offers various mount types to suit your room layout and viewing preferences.
Are tilting TV mounts worth it?
Absolutely. Tilting mounts help reduce screen glare and are ideal for TVs mounted higher than eye level, like above a fireplace.
What type of wall mount do I need for my TV?
It depends on your TV size, weight, and desired movement. We offer fixed, tilting, and full-motion mounts, and help you choose the right one during installation.
Can you mount a TV above a fireplace?
Yes, but heat and viewing angle must be considered. Express Mounting ensures the TV is mounted at a safe height with proper anchoring for brick or stone surfaces.

Safety and Professional Services

Should I hire a professional to mount my TV?
Yes. A professional installer ensures the TV is safely secured, properly aligned, and that wires are neatly hidden—saving you time and avoiding potential damage.
What happens if a TV falls off the wall?
Improper mounting can result in damage or injury. Hiring Express Mounting eliminates that risk—we ensure your TV is mounted safely and securely with a warranty-backed service.
Can I remount a TV in a different spot?
Yes. We can remove and remount your TV at a new location and patch any holes from the previous mount as needed.
How do I know if my wall can support a TV?
If your wall has wooden studs or is made of concrete or brick, it can support a mounted TV. Our team evaluates your wall type before beginning installation.

Installation Prep and DIY Concerns

Is it hard to mount a TV yourself?
It can be tricky without the right tools or experience. Express Mounting ensures a safe, professional result without the hassle or risk.
What is a VESA mount and how do I measure it?
VESA is a standard for mounting hole patterns on the back of your TV. Measure the horizontal and vertical spacing between the holes in millimeters to find the right mount.
How to find studs in the wall for TV mounting?
Use a stud finder or tap along the wall to locate them. Our technicians use professional-grade stud finders to ensure a secure installation.
Can you mount a TV on a brick or concrete wall?
Yes. We use special masonry anchors and tools to securely mount TVs on brick, concrete, or stone surfaces.
