Mounting & Hanging

TV Mounting in Toronto & the GTA

A TV sitting on a stand takes up half the console and ends up at the wrong height anyway. Mounting it gets it off the furniture, out of reach of kids and pets, and at a height you can actually watch without craning your neck. Most people put off tv wall mounting because they've heard the horror stories: brackets ripped out of drywall, TVs mounted crooked, lag bolts that missed the stud entirely.

Doing a tv bracket installation properly means finding the studs β€” not guessing off a beeping stud finder, but confirming with a probe hole behind where the bracket sits. On brick or concrete, which is common in Toronto condos and older houses, it means masonry anchors rated well past the TV's weight, drilled with a hammer drill. A fireplace tv mount adds heat clearance and viewing-angle questions, so we often recommend a pull-down or tilting mount there. The bracket gets levelled before a single lag goes in, and cables get routed before the TV goes up, because doing it after is twice the work.

For a free quote, send us the TV size and brand, a photo of the wall (pull the furniture back if you can), and whether the wall is drywall, brick, or concrete. Tell us if you already have a mount or want us to supply one, and whether you want the wires dealt with at the same time β€” we can price cable concealment together with the mounting.

What affects the price

  • Wall material β€” a stud wall takes under an hour; concrete or brick needs a hammer drill and rated anchors, which adds time
  • TV size and weight β€” a 75-inch panel needs two people and a heavier bracket than a bedroom 43-inch
  • Mount type β€” full-motion arms take more precise placement than a fixed bracket because the load sits farther off the wall
  • Above-fireplace installs β€” heat clearance, mantel depth, and stone or brick facing all add work
  • Cable handling β€” surface raceway is quick; in-wall concealment is a separate scope we can quote together
  • Condo rules β€” some buildings restrict drilling into shared or concrete walls, so check with management before the visit
  • Old hardware β€” removing a previous bracket and patching the wall behind it adds a small repair step

Every home is different, so we don’t publish flat prices β€” the quote is free and based on your actual job.

Common questions

Can you mount a TV on a wall with no studs where I need it?
Usually, yes. If the stud spacing doesn't line up with where you want the TV, we use a mount with a wider wall plate that spans two studs, or on solid walls we anchor directly into the masonry. What we won't do is hang a heavy TV on drywall anchors alone β€” that's how TVs end up on the floor. If the spot truly can't carry the load, we'll tell you and suggest the nearest position that can.
Is it safe to hang a TV above a fireplace?
It depends on the fireplace. We check the temperature above the mantel while the fireplace runs β€” if the wall gets too hot for the TV manufacturer's rating, we'll say so rather than mount it anyway. A deep mantel often deflects enough heat, and a pull-down mount fixes the neck-craning problem that fireplace height creates. Gas fireplace inserts themselves are TSSA territory; we only handle the mounting.
Do I need to buy the mount before you come?
No. Tell us the TV size, model, and wall type and we can bring a mount matched to the weight and VESA pattern. If you've already bought one, send a photo of the box and we'll confirm it suits your wall before the visit. Cheap mounts sized right are fine; the failures we see come from wrong anchors, not wrong brands.
Can you hide the wires when you hang the TV?
Yes, and it's cheaper to do both in one visit. Surface raceway β€” a paintable channel over the drywall β€” takes minutes. Running cables inside the wall is a separate job with its own rules: low-voltage cables like HDMI can go in-wall with rated cable, but any new power outlet behind the TV must be installed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor. We'll lay out both options in the quote.
How long does a typical TV mounting take?
A straightforward stud-wall install runs about an hour including cleanup. Add time for concrete drilling, a fireplace mount, supplying and unboxing the mount, or connecting a full setup of soundbar, console, and cable box. We confirm the expected duration in the quote so you're not guessing.
