TV Mounting 

My Handy Neighbor is proud to offer same day TV mounting service in Vancouver. Below is a list of things to consider prior to the installation and the steps we follow to complete the project to your satisfaction.

Before My Handy Neighbour Begins Your TV Mounting Project

  • What is the weight of the TV?

  • Where is the installation location?

  • What is the structure behind the wall?

  • How do you want the TV hung?

    • Wall mount stand or appropriate bracket from the backside of the TV?

How My Handy Neighbour Approaches TV Mounting

  • Confirm weight of TV

  • Check if drywall fastners will work on the existing structural wall

    • If the location doesn’t have stud support we will install backing into wall between the studs spaced at 16” on center

    • If steel stud we will add ¾” plywood backing

  • If backing is required remove the drywall with a drywall saw and hide the cut from stud to stud

  • Install ¾” plywood or 2 x 10 in the new exposed location use large wood screws to fasten the backing and fill back in the hole with the drywall patch

    • Repair the drywall and add a base coat to protect the area before installing the TV

  • Review the TV support brackets and locate the best location for the final installation with a template

  • Install the wood anchor screws provided by the mounting box

  • Review the wiring required for the TV and confirm if it can be installed into the back wall or Wifi is an option for TV

  • If electrical is required moving a plug outlet from the lower area of the floor to the appropriate location

    • This may require an electrician

  • Lift the TV into the brackets provided by the wall mount and plug in the TV to test for power and cable connection

  • New TVs are complicated and require service providers to confirm the activation with passwords

    • Review this with your service provider

      • Shaw, Telus or other for co-ordination of wiring required if the location of your TV has changed from its original location in your house

  • This TV installation can take up to 6 hours depending on your installation and if you need backing
