TV Mounting in Kennewick, WA

TV mounting is one of the most requested jobs in the Tri-Cities, partly because so many homes here are new or newly bought. Families moving into Southridge, west Pasco or Badger Mountain South want the big screen up in the great room before the first game of the season, and buyers of older ranches in Kennewick and Richland are often swapping an old entertainment center for a clean wall mount. Great rooms with stone or tile fireplaces, vaulted ceilings and open floor plans make the placement tricky, and the job has to be done right, because a heavy television on the wrong anchors is a real hazard, especially in a house with kids.

We start by finding the framing and choosing a mount that fits your TV, your wall and how you want to watch. We locate studs, check for pipes and wiring in the wall, and set the mount level and secure using lag bolts into wood, or the right anchors for masonry and steel framing. Then we hang the TV, adjust the tilt and swivel, and handle the cables, either with a tidy surface raceway painted to match the wall or by running them inside the wall with a proper in-wall kit. If you need a new outlet behind the screen, our licensed electricians handle the connections. We can also mount soundbars, set up streaming devices and leave everything working before we go.

What this covers

Mounting above fireplaces and on stone or brick
In-wall cable concealment kits

A note from around here: Great rooms in Southridge, Canyon Lakes and west Pasco often have fireplaces and high walls that complicate the mount, and older homes in central Richland and the Kennewick Highlands sometimes have plaster or uneven framing behind the drywall.

How a TV mounting visit usually goes

Choose the Spot

We talk through the viewing angle, height and cable plan with you, and check the wall for studs, pipes and wiring.

Install the Mount

We fasten the mount level and secure into framing or masonry with hardware rated well above the TV's weight.

Hang and Hide

We hang the TV, adjust tilt or swivel, and conceal the cables in the wall or in a matching raceway.

Test and Tidy

We power everything up, set up the soundbar and streaming devices, test the remotes and clean up the work area.

Newer Tri-Cities houses sometimes have surprises inside the wall. Builders often run plumbing, ductwork or electrical lines exactly where a TV would make sense, and some great-room walls are tall enough that the studs are spliced or there's a header partway up. Older homes in Richland and Kennewick can have plaster, irregular stud spacing or walls that have been patched several times. We check before we drill, and if the ideal spot isn't safe or practical, we'll suggest the next best option. We also keep in mind how the sun moves through the room, because a screen across from a west-facing window can be hard to watch on a summer evening.

What shapes the price in Kennewick

TV mounting cost depends mostly on the wall and the cable plan. A standard mount on drywall over wood studs is the simplest job. Mounting on stone, brick or tile around a fireplace takes more time and special anchors. Full-motion and pull-down mounts take longer to install and level. Hiding cables inside the wall adds time and materials, especially if a firestop or other obstacle is in the way, and adding a new outlet behind the screen adds a bit more. Mounting several TVs or adding a soundbar in the same visit usually lowers the cost per item.

Neighbors often ask

Can you mount a TV above my fireplace?

Yes, and it's one of the most common requests in newer Tri-Cities homes. We check the wall for framing, heat and clearance first. Gas fireplaces can put out a lot of heat, so we look at the manufacturer's clearance requirements and the mantel, and may suggest a pull-down mount or a slightly different height to keep the TV cool and at a comfortable viewing angle.

Can you hide the cables inside the wall?

In most cases, yes. We use an in-wall power and cable kit designed for this, which gives you a proper outlet behind the TV and a clean pass-through for HDMI and other cables. If there's a firestop, a header or something else blocking the path, we'll suggest a paintable raceway instead so the wall still looks tidy.

What size mount do I need?

It depends on the TV's weight and its mounting pattern on the back, which you'll find in the manual or on the label. Bring us the model number and we'll recommend the right mount for the wall and viewing angle, or we can bring one for you so the job gets done in a single visit.

Can you mount a TV on a wall without studs where I want it?

Often, yes. If the studs aren't where you'd like the screen, we can use a mount with a wide rail that spans two studs, or with your permission, open the wall to add blocking and patch it afterward. We won't hang a heavy TV on drywall anchors alone, because the risk isn't worth it.

Do you mount TVs in apartments and rentals?

Yes. Many landlords in Kennewick, Richland and Pasco allow wall mounting if it's done neatly and the holes can be patched later. We'll keep the installation clean and can patch the wall when you move out if you want the place back in move-in condition.
