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
