TV Mounting & Wall-Hanging
A mounted TV is either invisible or it is the first thing everyone in the room looks at. The difference is whether it went into framing, whether it is actually level, and whether there is a bundle of black cable hanging out of the bottom of it.

It goes into something that holds
A 65-inch TV plus a full-motion arm is a long lever bolted to a wall. Studs get found with a finder and confirmed by a pilot hole, not guessed at. On block or brick I use the right anchor for the wall I actually have — Pensacola has a lot of concrete-block exterior walls, and drywall anchors do not belong in them.
Level, centred, and at the right height
Most TVs get mounted too high because the mount goes where the studs are convenient rather than where your eyes are when you sit down. I set seated eye-line first, then work out the bracket. Two minutes of measuring is the whole difference.
The cables stop being part of the decor
A surface raceway painted to the wall, or a routed drop where the wall allows it, so power and HDMI come out where the equipment is. What I will not do is push a live power cord through a wall cavity — that is a code issue and an in-wall rated kit or an electrician is the honest answer.
Start to finish, no mystery.
Most people have never watched this kind of work happen. Here's the whole sequence so nothing about the visit is a surprise.
Tell me the TV, the wall and the mount
Screen size, whether you already have a mount and which kind, and what the wall is made of. A photo of the wall and the back of the TV settles most of it before I arrive.
Find the framing, mark the height
Studs located and confirmed, height set from where you actually sit, bracket marked and checked with a level rather than by eye.
Mount, hang, lift
Bracket in, plate on the TV, then the lift — a big panel is a two-person move and I will say so rather than drop your television.
Cables, tidy, and the rest of the wall
Cable channel run and cut in, equipment placed, and while I am there the mirrors, shelves, art and curtain rods that have been leaning against the baseboard since you moved in go up too. That is usually the actual job.
You’ll get a text when I’m on my way. No four-hour window, no wondering whether today is the day — and it’s me sending it, not a dispatcher.
Above the fireplace is a real decision, not a default
It is the most-requested spot and often the worst one: too high for comfortable viewing, and heat from a working firebox is genuinely hard on electronics. I will mount it there if that is what you want — but you will hear the tradeoff first.
Full-motion arms need more wall than you think
An articulating mount pulls hard on its top anchors and needs solid framing plus enough clearance to swing. On a single stud with a heavy panel, a fixed or tilt mount is the honest recommendation even though it is the cheaper part.
In-wall power is an electrician's line
Running a standard power cord inside a wall is not legal or safe. The options are a surface raceway, or a proper in-wall rated power kit installed by a licensed electrician. I will tell you which before I start rather than after.
Bring the mount or I will
You can buy your own — just make sure it is rated above your TV's actual weight and matches its VESA pattern. If you would rather I source it, that is a materials line in the estimate, not a markup surprise.
Straight version.
This is a job people book because they do not want to spend a Saturday holding a television against a wall while somebody hunts for a stud. It is quick, it is cheap relative to the thing you are hanging, and it is the kind of small job that decides whether you call me again for the bigger list.
