Does the homeowner provide the TV mount?

Preferably, yes. The TV and mount models can be reviewed before the appointment to help confirm compatibility. Purchasing or pickup can be discussed when needed.

Can you hide the TV cables?

Visible cable organization and paintable surface raceway are available. In-wall low-voltage routing requires evaluation. Ordinary TV power cords and extension cords are never concealed inside walls.

Q: What wall types do you mount TVs on?

The standard service focuses on drywall over suitable wood studs. Plaster, paneling and other wall construction must be reviewed before scheduling.

Your television should be securely mounted, positioned for the way you use the room, connected to the equipment you rely on, and working before I leave.

Thoughtful placement

Secure mounting & organized visible cables

Connected and tested before I leave

More than putting a TV on the wall

The right position should fit the room.The finished setup should simply work.

Before drilling, we discuss the normal seating position, room layout, furniture, glare, nearby outlets and connected equipment. You approve the final location after any practical or safety concerns are explained.

A carefully screened service

Straightforward residential installations—clearly defined.

Every TV, mount and wall is different. Compatibility, wall construction, mounting height and lifting requirements are reviewed before the installation is accepted.

Standard installations may include

Select fixed and tilting mounts
Drywall over confirmed wood studs
Placement discussion and approval
Homeowner-provided compatible mounts
Visible cable organization
Connection, testing and walkthrough

Available after review

Larger or unusually heavy televisions
Plaster, paneling or uncertain wall construction
Existing mount removal or replacement
Reuse of an identifiable compatible mount
Selected soundbar or shelf mounting
Minor holes or selected low-voltage routing

Not currently offered

Full-motion or fireplace installations
Outdoor or ceiling-mounted TVs
Special corner or extremely high installations
Tile, stone or difficult masonry
Commercial installations
Damaged walls or walls without suitable support

A suitable existing receptacle is required. New or relocated outlets are not included in the standard TV-mounting service and can only be considered as separate work.

What installation can include

Plan it. Mount it. Make it work.

The goal is not merely a television attached to the wall. It is a secure, useful setup that fits the room and feels complete when I leave.

Plan & position

Review the TV, mount, wall, outlets, room layout, proposed height and normal seating position before drilling.

Mount & organize

Install the compatible mount, secure the television and organize visible cables or add an approved surface raceway.

Connect & test

Connect familiar equipment, confirm picture and sound, test remotes and inputs, and explain the finished setup.

Equipment connection

The screen is only one part of the setup.

Familiar equipment can be connected and tested as part of the agreed project scope.

Smart TVs & Wi-Fi

Initial setup, network connection, basic settings and available software updates.

Cable boxes

Connection, input selection and basic picture and sound verification.

Game systems

HDMI connection, correct input selection and confirmation that the system displays properly.

Blu-ray & DVD players

Connection to the television and basic playback, picture and sound testing.

Antennas & coax

Connection of familiar antenna or coaxial equipment within the existing setup.

Soundbars

Connection by HDMI ARC/eARC, optical cable or Bluetooth, followed by basic testing.

Cable management without unsafe shortcuts

Organized cables—with clear limits.

“Cable management” should never hide what the installation actually includes.

The right approach depends on the outlet, connected equipment, wall construction and the appearance you want. The available option is agreed upon before the work begins.

Visible cable organization

Cables can be bundled behind the television and routed neatly toward nearby furniture or equipment.

Paintable surface raceway

A surface-mounted cable cover may provide a cleaner finished route without opening the wall.

Selected low-voltage routing

Routing HDMI or other low-voltage cables through an open wall cavity is not automatic and requires evaluation first.

How it works

A clear process from first photos to final walkthrough.

Useful details up front help confirm compatibility, safety and scope before installation day.

Send the details

Share the TV and mount models, approximate size, wall photos and connected equipment.

Confirm compatibility

The TV, mount, wall construction, mounting height and lifting plan are reviewed.

Approve the position

We discuss the room and confirm the final placement before drilling.

Mount securely

The compatible mount and television are installed using suitable structural support.

Connect & organize

Agreed equipment is connected and visible cables are organized using the chosen approach.

Test & explain

We confirm picture, sound, inputs and controls, then walk through the finished setup together.

The Covedale Craftsman standard

Mounted is not the same as finished.

The installation is complete when the television is secure, the connected equipment responds, the cables are organized and you feel comfortable using the setup.

Christopher, owner of The Covedale Craftsman

Meet Christopher

The person who reviews your project is the person who shows up.

I built The Covedale Craftsman around calm communication, careful work and complete final testing.

I served for 13 years in the Ohio Army National Guard as an aircraft electrician and avionics technician working on Black Hawk helicopters. That background shaped how I approach every accepted project: understand the setup, pay attention to the details, explain concerns clearly and verify the finished result.

TV-mounting projects are reviewed before scheduling because the honest answer matters more than forcing a job that is not a safe fit.

What homeowners say about working with Christopher

Clear communication. Respect for the home.

★★★★★

“When I first reached out, he got back to me promptly. He gave me a price up front that was very reasonable. He was punctual and communicated very well. He was very kind. He thoroughly cleaned the area when he was done.”

Frequently asked questions

What homeowners usually want to know.

Exact requirements vary by television, mount, wall construction, height and connected equipment.

What types of TV mounts do you install?

The standard service focuses on select fixed and tilting mounts after compatibility review. Full-motion and other nonstandard mounts are not currently offered.

Does the homeowner provide the mount?

Preferably, yes. Send the TV and mount models before the appointment so compatibility can be reviewed. Purchasing or pickup can be discussed when needed.

What wall types do you mount TVs on?

Standard service focuses on drywall over suitable wood studs. Plaster, paneling and other wall construction must be reviewed before scheduling.

Is there a maximum TV size?

There is no public size promise. Acceptance depends on the television model, weight, dimensions, mounting height and a safe lifting plan. Larger or unusually heavy TVs are reviewed individually.

Can you hide the cables?

Visible cable organization and paintable surface raceway are available. In-wall low-voltage routing is not part of every installation and requires evaluation. Ordinary TV power cords and extension cords are never concealed inside walls.

Can you connect my soundbar or other devices?

Yes. Familiar soundbars, cable boxes, game systems, disc players, antennas and selected equipment can be connected and tested when included in the agreed scope.

Can you remove or replace an existing mount?

Often, after reviewing the existing mount, wall condition, hardware and desired new location. Reuse requires an identifiable, compatible mount in good condition with the correct hardware.

Do you mount televisions above fireplaces?

No. Fireplace installations are not currently offered.
