We are adding installation and mounting to our core service list because almost every home has something waiting to go on a wall. The question is never whether it can be hung. It is whether it will stay there.
TV wall mounts are the most common call. A full motion bracket on a single stud is fine for smaller screens, but anything over fifty inches wants two studs or a solid plywood backing. If we tap the wall and it sounds hollow, we tell you before we drill, because toggles alone are not the answer for a heavy screen.
Grab bars are the opposite of decorative. They have to hold a person's full weight, which means they must hit blocking or a stud. No exceptions. We mark the studs, level the bar, and use the right fasteners for tile or drywall. Done wrong, a grab bar is dangerous.
Bike hooks, curtain rods, mirrors and mailbox posts are lighter work, but they still need the right anchor. A picture hook in drywall holds a few pounds. A bike hook in a joist holds a bicycle. We choose the hardware based on what is behind the surface, not what the package says.
The best part of mounting work is how fast it transforms a room. One visit can get the TV off the stand, the bikes off the floor, the mirror straight, and the blinds level. We patch the old holes, touch up the paint, and leave the walls looking like the mounts were always meant to be there.
