Confidence comes standard.

There must be a stronger way.
Loyal and mechanically inventive, Tank prefers a physical solution. He can handle the heavy lifting. Convincing him to measure first takes teamwork.

Junior manages the details, reads the manuals, and tries to keep everyone moving in the same direction. His brothers rarely make that easy.
TV mounting guide & FAQs
The joke ends. Your questions don’t.
Get clear answers to the questions that make TV mounting confusing—from choosing the right height to understanding the wall behind your screen. Explore what to check, what depends on your setup, and when professional help makes sense.
Height, seating & sightlines
How high should you mount a TV? Start with your actual seating position, the room, and the way you watch—not just an empty spot on the wall.
Leveling & alignment
Look beyond the bubble level: the screen, bracket, furniture, and surrounding lines can all affect how straight your TV looks.
Walls, studs & mounting choices
Plaster, drywall, masonry, and metal framing call for different questions. Identifying the wall comes before choosing an installation approach.
Cables, connections & access
A clean-looking setup still needs accessible ports, room for cables, and an appropriate power arrangement. Plan those details before the screen goes up.
TV mounting tips by region
Same television. Different building.
A wall in an older Boston home and a wall in a South Florida condo can present very different installation questions. Even within the same neighborhood, renovations and building systems vary.
Explore how building styles, wall finishes, and installation requirements vary across the country. Your particular building matters more than your ZIP code.
TV Mounting Where You Live
From Boston historic homes and New England multifamily buildings to Florida condos, Atlanta neighborhoods, and California living spaces, start with the questions that fit your building.
Consider the wall construction, previous renovations, building access, and any approval requirements before planning the installation.
