Do I need to provide my own TV bracket?

Up to you. QuickMountTV™ can supply a bracket matched to your TV (priced separately) or you can bring your own. If you bring your own, have it unboxed and ready before the tech arrives.

What if I don't know my TV's VESA pattern?

Search '[your TV model] VESA pattern' or look on the back of the TV for the four threaded mounting holes. Measure the spacing in mm. The QuickMountTV™ booking form helps you figure it out.

Should I be present during the install?

Yes. The tech needs to confirm height, placement, and test with you on-site. Plan for 30–90 minutes depending on the job complexity.

TV Wall Mount Installation Checklist: 12 Things to Do Before the Install

Whether you're hiring QuickMountTV™ or doing it yourself, run this checklist 24 hours before the install. It eliminates 90% of mid-install delays and the awkward 'oh wait, can you also...' upcharges.

Before you book

Measure your TV. Diagonal screen size, height, width, and weight (without stand). All on the spec sheet.
Find your TV's VESA pattern. The four-hole spacing on the back, in mm.
Decide on the wall. Drywall, brick, plaster, or other? Above a fireplace? Indoors or out?
Decide on cable concealment. Want cables hidden in the wall, in a paintable channel, or just routed neatly?

Before the technician arrives

Clear the area. Move furniture at least 6 feet away from the wall.
Have the TV unboxed and sitting near the install location.
Have the bracket ready if you bought your own. Unboxed, with all included hardware on hand.
Decide the height in advance. Tape a paper rectangle the TV's size to the wall and live with it for an hour. Indecision during the install is the #1 cause of overruns.
Verify outlet location. Note where the nearest outlet is and whether you want power relocated up behind the TV.
Locate your stud finder pre-readings. Optional, but if you've already mapped the studs, share that with the tech.
Know your HOA / building rules. Some condo buildings restrict drilling on shared walls.
Have payment method ready. Most pros (including QuickMountTV™) take card on-site or pre-charge during booking.

After the install — the 5-minute check

Before the tech leaves: power-cycle the TV, switch every input source, gently push the TV to verify it doesn't shift in the bracket, take photos of the cable routing, and confirm the warranty paperwork. A 3-year workmanship warranty (what QuickMountTV™ provides) means anything related to the install is on us — keep the booking confirmation in case you ever need to reference it.
