Anyone have suggestions on TV mount installation in the Baton Rouge area? Recently moved and need 4 TVs mounted with one being on brick.

I don’t have the time or energy to do this.

I have the tools and have mounted TVs. I’d not have the energy or time anymore with my job and young kids.

I wish I knew someone so I could post it and help you not have to endure the floggings you are about to receive for not wanting to do it yourself.

there are AV contractors out there who do it. We use a few commercially

They are expensive though. The issue is going to be liability for your equipment during install

I’m pretty limited with these kind of things and even I had the tools and basic skills to mount my TVs. Called my buddy who’s got a great drill with every bit you can imagine and we hung 2 TVs in about 20 minutes. Brick is easy with the right bit, anchor, and drill. Surely you have a friend who can help out. Getting an AV crew is expensive as shite for the work involved. Learned that lesson the hard way years ago.

If you are trying to cleanly route wires, it's not always that simple. I did it at our previous house with no issues.

At the new house, there was a fireplace that also likely had water lines for a shower and utility room in the area. I paid a reputable installer to do it so that if ge screwed something up, he'd be on the hook to fix it. I had to route wires sideways as well, so figured he'd have more experience compared to me figuring it out for the first time.

I used Tony to mount one of those Mantel Mounts over my Fireplace. He did a great job and highly recommend. His number is 225-366-8331.

Geek squad will do it. IDK if you have to buy the mounts from them or not.

I’m pretty good with tools and I tried hanging a TV making sure the wires went into the wall and wanted to make sure the tv looked like it was floating a little without showing any wires.

I gotta say that was the biggest pain in the arse thing I have ever done around the house. It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be

Perhaps talk your husband into doing it on Saturday before he cracks a Bud Light?

This thread gives me hope that if I’m ever laid off, I can make money off the soft hands of men and women everywhere nowadays. People will pay for literally anything.
