Thanks to YouTube videos and home makeover shows, we all tend to think we can just go to our local hardware store with a list and return home to tackle, in this case, mounting a TV successfully. Oh, if all it took to check off our list was to watch a 35-second short or watch a 27-minute show on HGTV.
Mounting a TV correctly is a deceptively complex structural project. In Fresno, where homes range from modern drywall tract housing to older lath-and-plaster bungalows, wall conditions vary widely.
Before our team lifts a single tool, they must determine the wall type. You see, in newer Fresno homes, this means locating wooden studs. In older homes, they may be navigating through lath and plaster, where stud finders often give false positives due to the density of the wall.
Not to get into all of the nuts and bolts (pun intended), it is not for the faint of heart. Nor the weekend fixers. Let’s say you “could” successfully mount your brand new out-of-the-box. Could. “Could” is such a tricky word. What if it’s not mounted successfully? You risk it crashing to pieces. Sorry to tell you. Your lack of skill is not covered by the most costly store and manufacturer warranties.
Why not instead call or text My Quality Handyman at 559-549-7392 to schedule your appointment with John and his team? They will be happy to take care of that for you.
