TV Mounting FAQ

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 find the studs behind the plaster and lath and anchor into them. 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 200x200, 300x300, 400x300, 400x400 and 600x400 mm; most 55- and 65-inch TVs use 300x300, 300x200 or 400x300 rather than 400x400. 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. A surface raceway is $79 per TV, and it's a good fit for renters or anyone who prefers a less invasive install.

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.

Yes! We serve the entire Metro Atlanta region including Forsyth County (Cumming), Cobb County (Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna), Gwinnett County (Duluth, Lawrenceville, Suwanee), DeKalb County (Decatur, Dunwoody), and Fulton County. Our technicians are strategically located to provide fast service across the region.

That is what the pull test and the warranty are for. We don't leave the job until the mount has held 2x your TV's weight, we use hardware rated for 1.5-2x your TV's weight, and we mount into studs or use the right masonry or concrete anchors for your wall. If something we installed shifts or loosens within three years, our workmanship warranty means we come back and correct it.

A 3-year workmanship warranty. For three years after the install, if something we installed shifts, loosens or sits off level, call (470) 777-4077 and we come back and correct it. It covers our work, not the TV itself or a bracket you supplied. All hardware is pull-tested at 2x your TV's weight before we leave the job.

Yes. Every installation carries a 3-year workmanship warranty. If the level is off or any part of our work isn't right within three years of the install, we come back and correct it at no cost.

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.

Every technician works to the Express Mounting protocol: the 8-step install procedure, an IR heat check for fireplaces, VESA pattern verification, masonry anchor selection and the 2x pull test that ends every job. All field staff are background-checked, and every install carries a 3-year workmanship warranty.

After 9,747+ installs since 2015, here's our 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.
