Professional TV Mounting in Pontotoc, Mississippi

Wall-mounted TVs save floor space, look sleek and modern, and provide optimal viewing angles. But mounting expensive flat screens carries risks—improper installation damages walls and TVs, while incorrect height or positioning creates uncomfortable viewing. M&T Handyman LLC provides professional TV mounting throughout Pontotoc County and North Mississippi. We mount TVs securely on any wall type, conceal wiring for clean appearance, and ensure perfect positioning for comfortable viewing.

TV mounting seems straightforward until you consider all the variables—finding studs (or mounting to masonry), selecting appropriate anchors and mounts, determining optimal height and tilt angle, managing cable routing, and avoiding electrical wiring in walls. We've mounted hundreds of TVs and know how to handle every mounting challenge Mississippi homes present.

TV Mounting Services

Flat Screen TV Mounting

We mount all sizes of flat screen TVs from small bedroom TVs to massive 85-inch living room displays. Each installation uses appropriate mounting hardware for your TV size and weight. We ensure TVs are level, secure, and positioned for optimal viewing. Whether you want fixed mounting, tilting capability, or full-motion articulating arms, we install the mounting solution matching your needs.

Wire Concealment

Visible wires ruin the clean look of wall-mounted TVs. We offer wire concealment services hiding power cords, HDMI cables, and other connections. Methods include in-wall wire routing using proper low-voltage boxes (code compliant), external cable raceways (when in-wall isn't feasible), or creative routing behind furniture and trim. Clean wire management makes mounted TVs look professional.

Soundbar and Component Installation

Modern TVs typically connect to soundbars, gaming consoles, cable boxes, and streaming devices. We mount soundbars below TVs, install floating shelves for components, and ensure all devices connect properly with clean cable management. Complete entertainment system installation provides ready-to-watch results.

TV Unmounting and Remounting

Moving, redecorating, or TV upgrades require unmounting and remounting services. We carefully remove mounted TVs, patch mounting holes if desired, and remount in new locations or mount new TVs. We handle the physical work and technical details.

Multiple TV Installation

Sports rooms, home theaters, and commercial spaces often need multiple mounted TVs. We handle multi-TV installations ensuring consistent height, alignment, and professional appearance. Multiple TV setups require careful planning—we coordinate all aspects.

Mounting for Different Wall Types

Drywall Mounting

Most Mississippi homes have drywall walls. Secure TV mounting into drywall requires locating studs and using appropriate lag bolts. Stud finders sometimes fail—we know techniques for finding studs reliably. When studs aren't positioned ideally, we use proper mounting solutions ensuring safe installation.

Brick and Masonry Mounting

Mounting TVs on brick fireplaces, concrete walls, or masonry surfaces requires different approach than drywall. We use masonry anchors, proper drill bits, and techniques ensuring secure mounting into hard surfaces. Brick mounting is more challenging but results in extremely strong installations.

Plaster Wall Mounting

Older Mississippi homes often have plaster walls over wood lath. Plaster is fragile and cracks easily. We mount TVs on plaster carefully, finding studs behind plaster and using techniques minimizing plaster damage. Experience with old houses means we know how to work with plaster successfully.

Metal Stud Mounting

Some newer homes and commercial buildings use metal studs. Metal studs won't support TVs the way wood studs do—special anchors and mounting techniques are required. We carry appropriate hardware for metal stud installations.

Optimal TV Positioning

Viewing Height

Proper TV height matters for comfortable viewing. Standard recommendation places TV center at seated eye level, typically 42-48 inches from floor to TV center. However, mounting above fireplaces, room layout, and seating types affect ideal height. We discuss your specific situation and mount TVs at comfortable viewing heights.

Viewing Distance

TV size should match viewing distance. Too small and you strain to see details. Too large and you see individual pixels. We provide guidance on appropriate TV sizes for your room and help position seating optimally. While we don't sell TVs, we help you understand sizing before purchasing.

Glare and Light Consideration

Windows create glare making TVs difficult to watch. We help position TVs avoiding direct light when possible and recommend solutions when ideal positioning isn't available—blackout curtains, anti-glare filters, or room arrangement changes.

Our TV Mounting Process

1. On-Site Assessment: We examine the mounting location, wall type, existing wiring, and discuss your preferences. We identify optimal mounting position considering viewing angle, height, and stud locations.
2. Equipment Selection: Based on TV size, weight, and your preferences (fixed, tilt, or full-motion), we recommend appropriate mounting hardware.
3. Preparation: We locate studs or prepare masonry mounting, plan wire routing if concealment is desired, and gather all needed tools and hardware.
4. Mounting Bracket Installation: We install the wall bracket securely using appropriate anchors for your wall type. We ensure brackets are level and capable of supporting TV weight.
5. TV Attachment: We carefully attach TV to mounting bracket, ensuring secure connection. We adjust tilt and positioning for optimal viewing.
6. Wire Management: We connect all cables, conceal wires as desired, and test all connections ensuring everything works properly.
7. Final Adjustments: We fine-tune TV position, ensure level mounting, test mount security, and demonstrate any articulating features.

Why Professional TV Mounting Matters

Safety

Improperly mounted TVs fall, potentially injuring people (especially children) and destroying expensive electronics. Professional mounting ensures TVs stay securely on walls. We use appropriate anchors rated for TV weight and mount into solid structure.

Wall Protection

Amateur mounting attempts often create multiple holes from missed studs, cracked drywall from overtightened bolts, and damaged finishes. Professional installation typically uses just two or four mounting holes, preserving wall condition. If you move the TV later, patching is minimal.

Warranty Protection

Some TV warranties are voided by improper installation. Professional mounting documentation can protect warranty coverage. Additionally, we carry insurance covering any unlikely damage during installation.

Convenience

TV mounting requires tools many homeowners don't own—stud finders, level, appropriate drill bits, and specialty drivers. We bring all necessary equipment. Additionally, handling large TVs safely requires two people—we provide the assistance needed.

Common TV Mounting Mistakes We Prevent

• Mounting Too High: TVs mounted at standing eye level (common above fireplaces) cause neck strain. We help determine appropriate heights or suggest alternatives.
• Missing Studs: Mounting only into drywall without adequate support causes failures. We find studs reliably or use appropriate anchors when stud placement isn't ideal.
• Wrong Mount Type: Using mounts not rated for TV size or weight creates hazards. We select appropriate mounting hardware for every installation.
• Exposed Wiring: Dangling wires look unprofessional. We offer concealment solutions for clean appearance.
• Ignoring Electrical Code: Running power cords through walls violates code and creates fire hazards. We use proper low-voltage wire routing or power relocation when needed.
