TV Mounting in Ontario

Mounting a TV is one of those jobs that looks simple until you're holding a 65-inch screen over your head wondering if the anchors will hold. The real work is in what you can't see afterward: finding the studs, matching the mount's weight rating to the TV, and getting the height right so you're not craning your neck from the couch.

Drywall alone won't safely carry a big screen — the mount needs to bite into studs, or into proper masonry anchors on a brick or concrete wall. Condo walls throw their own curveballs: steel studs, concrete columns, in-wall heating lines near the ceiling. We check what's behind the wall before drilling, not after.

Most people also want the cables gone. Depending on the wall, that's either an in-wall cable kit or a low-profile raceway painted to match. Tell us the TV size, the wall type if you know it, and where the nearest outlet is — photos help — and you'll get a free quote.

Mount a TV

What affects the price

  • TV size and weight — bigger screens need heavier-duty mounts and more anchor points
  • Wall construction: wood studs, steel studs, brick, or concrete
  • Cable concealment: in-wall kits take longer than surface raceways
  • Whether a new outlet is needed behind the TV (that part goes to a licensed electrical contractor)
  • Mounting height and location — over a fireplace or stairwell adds setup
  • Supplying the mount versus using one you've bought
  • Number of TVs being mounted in one visit

Common questions

How big a TV can go on a drywall wall?
Size matters less than what's behind the drywall. Almost any TV is fine when the mount is lagged into two or more wood studs. What's never fine is relying on drywall anchors alone for a heavy screen — that's how TVs end up on the floor. If the studs don't line up where you want the TV, a plywood backer or a different mount solves it.
Can you hide the cables inside the wall?
Usually. On a standard interior drywall wall we use an in-wall rated cable kit, which gives you a clean look with nothing showing. On brick, concrete or exterior walls, in-wall routing often isn't practical, so a slim paintable raceway is the honest answer. We'll tell you which your wall allows before quoting.
Is mounting above a fireplace a bad idea?
Sometimes. Heat rising off a wood-burning or gas fireplace can exceed what the TV maker allows, and the viewing angle gets steep. A mantel test with a thermometer, or a pull-down mount, can make it workable. If your setup would cook the TV, we'll say so.
Do I need to buy the mount first?
Either way. If you have one, we'll check its weight rating against your TV before using it. If you don't, tell us the TV model and how much movement you want — fixed, tilt or full-motion — and supplying the right mount gets built into the quote.
What about the power outlet? There's none behind where I want the TV.
Running a new outlet is electrical work, which in Ontario must be done by a Licensed Electrical Contractor — we route that part accordingly and coordinate the two jobs. There are also in-wall rated power relocation kits that avoid new wiring in some setups. An extension cord stuffed inside the wall is not an option; it's a fire-code violation.
