TV Mounting in St. Louis, MO: Anchored, Leveled, and Cable-Concealed

TV mounting in St. Louis, MO is the job that looks easiest and goes wrong most often. The wall looks flat, the mount looks simple, and the temptation is to use drywall anchors and hope. The reality is that a 65-inch TV weighs enough to tear out of drywall, the studs in older St. Louis homes aren't always where you'd guess, and plaster and brick need different anchors entirely. Here's how we mount a TV so it stays level, stays put, and the cords disappear.

What a proper TV mount includes

• Stud finding on every install — never drywall anchors alone for a TV
• The right anchor for the wall: wood stud, metal stud, plaster, tile, or brick
• Level checks before and after the mount is bolted up
• Cord concealment — in-wall or on-surface raceway
• Soundbar and shelf add-ons mounted to match
• All hardware, debris, and packaging hauled away

Full scope is on our mounting and assembly page.

Anchors by wall type

Drywall over wood studs: lag bolts into the stud. Metal studs: toggle anchors rated for the TV's weight. Plaster over wood lath: we hit the stud or use masonry-style anchors that grip the lath. Brick or stone veneer: sleeve anchors into the mortar or the brick. The wrong anchor in the wrong wall is the number one reason a mount fails — and it's why we bring a range and test the wall first.

Cord concealment done right

A mounted TV with dangling cords defeats half the point of mounting it. We run the cords in-wall (behind the drywall, with a clean exit behind the TV and at the baseboard) where the wall allows it, or in a paintable on-surface raceway where in-wall isn't an option — exterior walls with insulation, or walls with plumbing. In-wall always looks cleaner; raceway is the practical backup.

Soundbars, shelves, and gallery walls

Most TV mounts are part of a bigger setup: a soundbar under the TV, a floating shelf for the cable box, a gallery wall around it. We bundle those into one visit and one quote, because mounting them together is faster and the spacing comes out better. See our mounting and assembly page for the full list.
