TV mounting in Kalamazoo and Kalamazoo County, since 2025.

Most clients buy the mount themselves to match the TV size and the desired tilt/swivel/full-motion behavior. We're happy to recommend a mount before you buy — fixed mounts are cheapest and lowest-profile, tilting mounts are best over fireplaces, full-motion arms are the most flexible. If you want us to bring the mount, we add it to the estimate at cost plus a small handling fee.

Yes — over-fireplace mounting is one of our most-asked jobs in Kalamazoo. We use a tilting mount so the TV angles down toward the seating, anchor into the masonry with appropriate fasteners, and conceal cables in conduit running down the side of the surround (or through-wall if accessible). Note: high heat from a working fireplace can damage TVs over time — we'll flag the heat risk on the estimate so you can plan around it.

Two options. In-wall: we cut a low-voltage box behind the TV and a second one behind the equipment shelf, run the HDMI and power cables through the wall cavity. Cleanest result, no visible cables. Surface conduit: a paintable raceway runs from TV down to the shelf — quicker to install, lower cost, slightly visible. We'll recommend which option fits the wall (in-wall doesn't work over a brick fireplace, for example).

Depends on the mount you pick. Fixed mounts hold the TV flat against the wall (about 1–2 inches off). Tilting mounts pivot vertically. Full-motion arms extend out 12–24 inches and swivel. We install whatever mount you bring — and we'll tell you on the estimate if the mount you've picked won't work for your TV size or wall material.

For drywall: we use a backing plate (a 2×4 cut to span between studs) anchored to the studs, then mount the TV bracket to the plate. This lets us hit the exact center we want without being limited by stud spacing. Works for any TV size. We don't drywall-anchor TVs — heavy-duty wall anchors aren't reliable enough for a 60-pound TV over time.
