TV Mounting FAQ Atlanta

Absolutely! We mount TVs from any retailer including Best Buy, Costco, Amazon, Walmart, and Samsung.com. We work with all major brands: Samsung, LG, Sony, TCL, Vizio, Hisense, and more. Whether it's a new purchase or an existing TV you want relocated, we have the expertise and hardware to mount it securely.

Many historic Atlanta homes have plaster walls, and yes, we can mount TVs on them safely. Plaster requires careful drilling technique to prevent cracking. We locate the wooden lath behind the plaster and use appropriate anchors. Our technicians have extensive experience with older Decatur, Virginia-Highland, and Inman Park homes.

VESA is the standardized mounting hole pattern on the back of your TV. Common patterns include 200x200mm, 400x400mm, and 600x400mm. Check your TV's manual or measure the horizontal and vertical distance between mounting holes in millimeters. Don't worry - Express Mounting technicians verify compatibility and bring multiple mount options to ensure a perfect fit.

Yes! Full-motion (articulating) mounts extend 15-25 inches from the wall, allowing you to pull the TV out, swivel it, and tilt it. This is ideal for accessing cables, cleaning behind the TV, or adjusting viewing angles. We recommend full-motion mounts for corner installations and open floor plans.

We offer external cable management solutions that don't require wall cuts. Paintable cable covers (raceways) attach to the wall surface and hide cables in a slim channel. When color-matched to your wall, they're barely noticeable. This is a great option for renters or those who prefer a less invasive installation.

Yes, we can coordinate power outlet relocation as part of your installation. This places the outlet directly behind your mounted TV for a completely wire-free appearance. Power work is performed by qualified electricians in compliance with local codes. Ask about this option when booking.

Most walls can support mounted TVs when properly installed. Drywall with wooden studs (standard in most homes) easily supports TVs up to 100+ lbs when mounted into studs. Brick, concrete, and stone are even stronger. Our technicians assess your wall before installation and use appropriate mounting methods for your specific situation.

Alex Crabinsky personally trains every technician on the Express Mounting protocol: 8-step install procedure, IR thermal assessment for fireplaces, VESA pattern verification, masonry anchor selection, and the 2x pull-test that ends every job. All field staff are background-checked. Express Mounting is a MantelMount Authorized Installer - the manufacturer's own credential for pull-down mount installation.

After 7,874 documented installs across Metro Atlanta, here's Alex Crabinsky's honest take: DIY is fine for a sub-50-inch TV on a clean drywall section with two studs in the right spot. Beyond that, professional installation offers real advantages - correct height placement for comfortable viewing, secure mounting that won't fail, clean cable management, no wall damage from mistakes, and saved time (average DIY takes 2-3 hours vs. our 45 minutes). For TVs over 55 inches or any wall mount above a fireplace, we strongly recommend professional installation.

Common DIY mistakes include: mounting too high (causing neck strain), missing studs (unsafe), using wrong hardware, not checking level, damaging walls, and running power cords through walls (code violation). These mistakes can result in fallen TVs, wall damage, or uncomfortable viewing. Our professionals avoid all these issues.
