The Basic Wall Mount TV Installation

Here are a few of the basic photos from installations this week. In my opinion, one of the most attractive parts of a wall mount installation is the absence of unsightly wires protruding from the bottom of the TV. With most of the other companies out there, concealing the wires is typically an added cost, or they will “hide” the wires in a piece of plastic track molding. First, paint-able molding doesn't look nice. Second, you (the paying customer) are responsible for painting it. So your options are either ugly track molding or ugly hanging wires. Can you imagine paying $400.00 for someone to install a new flat-panel TV and when they’re finished you have added another item to your “honey-do” list? Several times a month I am contacted by someone that paid another company to install their TV and they want to pay our company to “clean-up” the mess that was left.

$1000.00 for a HD TV.
$20.00 extra per month for and HD box with the cable company.
$400.00 for a professional installation.
Ugly wires draped down the wall ruining the experience....disappointing.

On the two photos below, note the new AV nose-plate below the TV. This is where the wires come out from the back of the TV. The wires are inside the wall where they belong...out of sight and out of mind. The cover plate was hidden behind the furniture when we moved the old TV to the garage and pushed the desk back. (Moving furniture is an additional charge with those other companies.) This is the way it should look when the installer is done.

The photos below are from a wall mount TV installation on an articulating arm and it swings out pretty far. The first photo looks like I photo-shopped in the TV so I included some pictures from the back of the TV also.

It's the attention to detail that makes me proud of what we do for a living. There is a sense of accomplishment when I leave a job-site and our customer is impressed with the workmanship. The most important part of any job is the last 20% committed to the details, and unfortunately, that last piece is often omitted. A crisp, clean, organized job pays in satisfaction for the installer as well as the customer.

The time involved with each of these installations is 3-4 hours and is less than $350.00. While others may warranty their work for 90 days or 1-year, we guarantee that TV's we install will NEVER fall off the wall. Our warranty is one of the reasons we use extra heavy duty bolts and anchors instead of the cheap hardware that comes in the wall-bracket box.
