TV Mount Types
Selecting the correct type of mount will help make the installation process run more smoothly.
- Fixed Mount: A fixed mount keeps your TV flush against the wall. It’s the most commonly used mount and is best for locations where you watch TV in the same spot each time.
- Tilt Mount: A tilt mount can be adjusted to avoid lighting glare or to make watching TV from different areas of the room easier.
- Full-Motion Mount: A full-motion mount is perfect to use when you have more than one favorite seat. It moves to allow for high-quality viewing from multiple places in the room.
- Fireplace Mount: A fireplace mount allows you to pull your TV out and down over the mantel, making viewing easier on your neck and back.
Depending on the type of mount you choose and the surface where it will be applied (brick, drywall with studs, etc.), it could require particular screws, anchors, or other hardware. Mr. Handyman has experience installing all types of mounts on all surfaces and can help you determine which one is right for you.

TV Mounting Installation FAQ
Installing a new TV mount involves several steps. Whether you’re concerned about damaging your belongings with a DIY attempt or the correct mount type to select, Mr. Handyman is ready to support you.
Should I hire someone to mount my TV?
If you want to be sure that your TV is mounted correctly, you should hire a professional. They have all of the correct tools and up-to-date knowledge to ensure that your TV mount is installed securely and correctly without damaging your wall or TV.
Can you install a TV mount yourself?
Yes, you can install a TV mount yourself, as long as you take the proper precautions. Understanding the hardware, as well as the type of wall you’re working on, is essential to a successful TV mounting. When in doubt, it’s always best to call a professional.
How long does it take a professional to mount a TV?
Most professionals can install a TV in about an hour. However, the time required to mount your TV will depend on the type of mount you select and how your wall is constructed.
What do I need to prepare before the installation team arrives?
Before your installation team arrives, decide where you want your TV mounted. Create a clean workspace by removing any unnecessary objects or furniture around the desired area. You also need to have your wall mount kit, TV, and necessary cables ready.
Is it safe to mount a TV over a fireplace?
Yes, as long as the proper precautions are taken, mounting a TV over a fireplace can be safe. Since the heat from the fireplace can damage your television, you will need to direct the heat away from where you mount it. There are a variety of ways to do this, including special mantels, custom shelving, or adding a heat shield.
It is also suggested that you select a fixed mount. The less your television moves, the more protected it will be. Other factors, such as the height of the mount and whether your fireplace is gas or wood-burning, can also impact the ability to mount a TV over a fireplace.
