To ensure a safe installation of your television, preparing the work area is essential. At Fixtman LLC, our technicians will evaluate the wall surface and all components needed before starting the installation process. We aim to provide you with an expert service and avoid any hazards.

Wall Inspection

Our technicians will inspect the wall for any cracks, water damage or weak areas. If the wall is deemed unsafe for mounting, we will suggest alternative solutions to securely install your television. We do not want to risk the television falling or the mount becoming loose over time.

Gathering Components

All components for a safe installation are provided by Fixtman LLC, including a high-quality wall mount kit rated for your television's size and brand. We supply HDMI cables, surge protectors, and all hardware needed. Our technicians bring all necessary tools to properly and securely complete the installation in a timely manner.

Proper wire management is essential for a clean, professional finish and your safety. We conceal wires to avoid tripping hazards and an unorganized appearance. Cables are secured, hidden behind walls or neatly bundled together for a streamlined look.

With our experienced technicians, high-quality components, and commitment to your safety, Fixtman LLC will properly prepare the area and securely wall-mount your television. Our goal is your satisfaction and providing a worry-free service with expert results. Television wall mounting does not have to be a DIY headache or safety risk when you call the professionals at Fixtman LLC.

Choose the Right Wall for Secure TV Mounting

Choosing a sturdy wall is critical for secure TV mounting. Our professional technicians will evaluate your space to determine the best location for your TV installation. They consider factors like:

Wall Material

Some wall materials, like drywall, may require wall anchors for maximum stability. Concrete, brick and tile walls provide the most secure installation surface. Our installers can handle any wall type, taking proper precautions to ensure your TV is safely mounted.

Wall Load-Bearing Capacity

The wall must be able to support the weight of your specific TV model. Our technicians use high-quality mounting hardware rated for your TV size and mount it directly to wall studs or beams whenever possible for the strongest installation. For drywall, they use heavy-duty anchors to distribute the weight.

Height and Viewing Angle

The height and viewing angle are based on your preferences for comfortable viewing. Our installers will measure and mark the wall to determine the optimal height and angle before drilling and mounting the TV. They ensure all connections are secure and test the mount to guarantee it's fixed firmly in place.

As a services company, Fixtman LLC provides accurate assessments and installation of your TV mount. From giving you an honest quote to the moment our technicians leave your home, their goal is your complete satisfaction with a job well done. Their experienced professionals handle every detail, from unpacking your TV and connecting all components to concealing unsightly wires, leaving you to enjoy your perfectly mounted television. For TV mounting you can trust, choose Fixtman LLC.

Select a Sturdy TV Wall Mount to Hold the Weight

When selecting a wall mount for your television, the most important factor to consider is finding an option that can securely hold the weight of your TV. At Fixtman LLC, we offer a range of mounts to suit any television size and ensure maximum safety.

Fixed Wall Mounts

For most standard flat-screen TVs, we recommend a fixed wall mount. Fixed mounts securely attach your TV to the wall, holding it in a fixed position. They provide a sleek, low-profile installation and are suitable for the majority of TV sizes and weights. We offer fixed mounts that can hold up to 165 pounds.

Articulating Arm Mounts

If you require more flexibility in viewing angles, an articulating arm mount allows you to pull your TV away from the wall and swivel and tilt as needed. These mounts can extend up to 24 inches from the wall and are ideal for corner installations or above a fireplace. However, articulating mounts require a sturdier installation to handle the increased weight from the extended arm. We provide professional installation to guarantee it is securely and safely mounted.

Choosing the Right Mount

When selecting a mount, consider your TV's size and weight to choose an option rated to handle at least twice that amount. For example, if you have a 60-inch TV that weighs 80 pounds, choose a mount rated for at least 160 pounds. It is always better to overestimate the weight to ensure maximum security.

Our expert technicians have years of experience installing mounts for televisions of all sizes. We handle the entire installation process, including inspecting the wall to determine the optimal location and the necessary hardware for your TV size and viewing needs. Proper installation is key to providing a safe, long-lasting wall mount for your television. With Fixtman LLC, you can have peace of mind knowing your TV is securely installed according to the highest safety standards.

Use Proper Tools to Safely Install the TV Mount

Proper tools and equipment are essential for a safe and secure installation of your television wall mount. At Fixtman LLC, our technicians always come prepared with high-quality tools designed specifically for TV mounting and installation. We provide our own mounting hardware, including lag bolts, washers and stud finders to securely fasten your television to the wall.

To locate the wall studs, we use electronic stud finders which detect the density of the studs behind the drywall. Once the studs have been located, we mark them to indicate the points where the mount will be attached. We then use a level to ensure the mount is even for the best viewing experience. Cordless power drills allow us to pilot drill holes into the studs to avoid cracking the drywall. The lag bolts are then screwed into the studs using a socket wrench to securely fasten the mount.

Proper safety gear like work gloves, protective eyewear and dust masks are always used to ensure the safety of our technicians and your home. We take precautions to avoid damage to existing infrastructure inside the walls. We work carefully around electrical wiring, plumbing and other utilities that may be hidden behind the drywall.

At Fixtman LLC, we go above and beyond to provide the highest quality service using the proper tools and safety procedures to give you peace of mind during the installation process. Our experienced technicians have mounted thousands of televisions, and we treat each installation with care and professionalism. We believe that with the right approach, tools, and experience, any location in the home can be turned into an entertainment hub with a securely wall-mounted television.

Follow Installation Instructions Precisely

As with any technical installation process, precisely following the directions provided with your television wall mount kit is critical to ensuring a safe and secure installation. Our expert technicians have years of experience installing a wide range of television mounts, but they always carefully review the instructions for your specific product before beginning the installation.

DIY vs. professional installation for TV wall mount is a common consideration. While some may opt to handle the installation themselves, professional assistance can ensure a more secure and precise setup. If you’re weighing the options, understanding the benefits of each approach can help you make the best choice for your needs.

Selecting the Appropriate Mount

Our technicians will evaluate your television specifications, including size, weight, and wall type, to determine the appropriate mount for your needs. Selecting a mount rated for your television size and weight is essential to prevent instability or failure. For most standard drywall installations, a basic fixed or articulating mount will suit your needs. However, for heavier televisions, those installed over fireplaces, or those on walls other than drywall, a more heavy-duty mount is required. Our technicians have access to mounts suitable for nearly any installation scenario.

Attaching the Mount to the Wall

Properly installing the mount to your wall is the most important step. Our technicians will locate wall studs and use high-quality lag bolts to securely fasten the mount. For walls without studs, we use specialized anchors rated for the weight of your specific television. The mount is then carefully leveled to ensure your television hangs evenly.

Connecting Cables and Wires

Once the mount is installed, our technicians will connect all necessary cables and wires to your television, including power, antenna or cable, and any external devices. Cables are then neatly routed to eliminate tripping hazards and enhance the appearance. Any remaining packaging, debris, or tools are cleaned up before our technicians leave your home.

By following the instructions precisely and using proper installation techniques, our expert technicians ensure your television is securely and safely wall mounted. Fixtman LLC provides high-quality television installation and mounting services to provide you peace of mind and an enhanced viewing experience. If you're considering whether to go the DIY route or hire a professional, our guide on DIY vs. professional installation for TV wall mount can help you make an informed decision.

Organize Cables Neatly to Avoid Tripping Hazards

Neatly organizing cables is an essential component of any television wall mounting service. At Fixtman LLC, our professional installers take great care to properly manage cables to not only enhance the appearance of your living space but also ensure safety. Unorganized cables pose a tripping hazard and detract from an otherwise streamlined, contemporary design.

Conceal Cables Behind the Wall

For the cleanest look, our technicians can conceal cables behind the wall during the installation process. They will cut a narrow channel in the drywall to feed cables through, then patch and paint the wall to disguise any sign of the work. This method provides an ultra-modern finish with all cables and wiring hidden from view.

Bundle Cables and Secure in Place

Where concealing cables behind the wall is not possible or ideal, we take a meticulous approach to bundling and securing them neatly in place. Cables are fastened together, then affixed to the wall using clips or ties and routed to minimize any tripping risk. The result is a tidy, organized collection of cables running vertically from the media console or wall outlet up to your mounted television.

At Fixtman LLC, we provide honest, high-quality television wall mounting services. Our experienced technicians have the skills and expertise to organize cables and complete installations in any space of your home. We offer promotional rates and discounts for both new and returning customers. Call today to schedule your television wall mounting and gain peace of mind knowing our pros will handle every aspect of the installation professionally and safely.

Check the TV Mount for Stability and Security

Once your television has been properly mounted, it is essential to ensure it is secure and stable before use. At Fixtman LLC, our technicians thoroughly test all wall mounts before leaving your home to guarantee safety and peace of mind.

Secure Connections

Our technicians securely fasten your television to the wall using heavy-duty mounting hardware specifically designed for the size and model of your TV. All bolts and screws are tightly fastened to prevent shifting or loosening over time. Your television will be securely fixed to wall studs or wall anchors rated to hold the weight of your TV.

Level Installation

We take great care to mount your television level for maximum viewing enjoyment and to prevent the TV from becoming crooked over time. Our installers use a level to properly align your television both horizontally and vertically. A level installation also reduces stress on the wall mount and prevents the TV from becoming unleveled.

Tight Fit

Properly installed, your wall mount will fit snugly against the wall with no gaps between the mount and the wall. A tight fit helps prevent the mount from becoming loose or unstable over time. It also provides a clean, professional-looking installation.

Cables Concealed

Part of a safe and secure wall mount installation is organizing and concealing any cables running to and from your TV. Our technicians neatly bundle and secure any cables to eliminate tripping hazards and achieve an attractive finished look. Cables are secured and hidden behind wall covers or run through the wall whenever possible.

By following best practices for stability and security, Fixtman LLC provides television wall mounting services that give you peace of mind and years of safe enjoyment of your wall-mounted TV. Our professional installations meet or exceed all industry standards for quality, safety and workmanship.

TV Wall Mounting Safety FAQs: Your Top Questions Answered

When wall mounting a TV, safety should be a top priority. At Fixtman LLC, our experienced technicians follow best practices to ensure secure installation and peace of mind. We understand you may have questions about the process, so we have compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked safety questions below.

How much weight can the wall support? The amount of weight a wall can bear depends on the wall material and construction. Drywall typically can hold between 50 to 100 pounds per wall stud. Concrete or brick walls are able to support more weight. Our technicians will evaluate your wall to determine the optimal mounting solution based on the size and type of your TV.

Do you ground the TV? Yes, grounding the TV is an important safety step. We ground the TV to reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path for electric current to flow to the ground in case of a power surge or other issue. Grounding helps prevent sparking and stabilizes the voltage.

What mounting hardware do you use? We use high-quality mounting hardware specifically designed for installing TVs. The hardware is rated to hold at least double the weight of your television to ensure maximum security. The specific parts used depend on your TV size and wall type but may include toggles, molly bolts, lag shields, and wood screws.

How secure is the installation? Safety and security are our top priorities. Our technicians are extensively trained to securely install TVs using techniques and hardware that meet or exceed industry standards. We test the installation to ensure the mount is properly secured before leaving your home. However, to avoid risk of injury or damage, we do not recommend hanging from or pulling on the mounted TV.

Will you test the installation? Yes, testing the installation is a critical final step. We will turn on your TV while it is mounted to double check that all connections are secure and functioning properly. We also physically test the mount to ensure it is securely fastened and able to fully support your TV size and weight before considering the job complete. Your satisfaction and safety are our highest goals.

In summary, Fixtman LLC follows best practices for safe and secure TV wall mounting. We evaluate your wall, use high-quality hardware, ground the TV, securely install the mount, and fully test the installation.
