TV Mounting & Installation on Long Island

A proper TV mount hits studs or masonry anchors rated well beyond the TV’s weight, sits level at the right viewing height, and hides its cables. We mount TVs of every size across Nassau and Suffolk, including tile, brick, and above-fireplace installations that DIY kits handle badly.

Wall-mounted TV with concealed cables above a media console

Problems this solves

  • A heavy TV and a one-chance drywall install
  • Cables dangling down the wall
  • Mounting on brick, tile, or a fireplace chase
  • A TV mounted too high giving everyone neck strain
  • Old mounts and wall damage from previous installs

What’s included

  • Fixed, tilt, and full-motion mount installation
  • Stud, masonry, and tile mounting
  • In-wall cable concealment with code-rated kits
  • Soundbar and streaming device setup
  • Old mount removal and wall patching
  • Furniture anchoring and TV safety straps

Signs you may need this

  • The TV box has been in the hallway for two weeks
  • Your current mount pulls slightly away from the wall
  • You want the cords gone, not just tucked
  • The mount needs to go on something other than drywall

What affects scope and price

We do not publish flat prices because these factors genuinely change the work. The estimate itemizes them for your project.

  • TV size and mount type
  • Wall construction: studs, masonry, or tile face
  • Cable concealment: surface raceway versus in-wall
  • Height and fireplace heat considerations

TV Mounting questions

Can a TV go above a fireplace?

Often, with two checks first: mantel heat (we verify surface temperature above the firebox) and viewing angle (a tilt or pull-down mount fixes the height problem). Some setups genuinely are too hot, and we will say so.

How do you hide the cables?

For drywall, an in-wall rated power and cable kit drops cords inside the wall cavity legally and invisibly. On brick or concrete, a painted surface raceway is the clean option.

What height should a TV be mounted?

Center of screen at seated eye level, roughly 42 inches from the floor for typical sofas. Every inch higher adds neck angle. Above-fireplace installs trade this off, which is why we suggest tilt mounts there.
