What to know about TV mounting
Mounting a television is not a television problem. It is a wall problem. The bracket, the screws and the panel are all specified by manufacturers who assume the wall behind them is sound framing, and American walls are anything but uniform: nominal two-by-four studs at sixteen or twenty-four inches on center behind half-inch drywall in most post-war houses, wood lath and three-coat plaster in pre-war ones, steel studs in many condos and finished basements, brick veneer over framing in much of the Midwest and South, and solid masonry in older row housing.

How to choose TV installers in Pittsburgh
- Describe all the small jobs up front so the handyman can bring the right tools and give you a realistic estimate.
- Ask whether they charge by the hour, by the job or with a minimum visit fee.
- For anything involving wiring, gas or new plumbing, use a licensed trade instead of a general handyman.
- Check that they carry liability insurance, especially for work on ladders or on the exterior.
- Ask whether they supply materials or whether you should buy them ahead of time.
Questions to ask TV installers before you hire
- Do you charge by the hour or by the job, and is there a minimum?
- Can you do all of the jobs on my list, or will some need a licensed trade?
- Will you bring the materials, or should I buy them?
- Are you insured if something is damaged while you're working?
- How do you handle it if a job takes longer than expected?
TV mounting permits in Pittsburgh
Some TV mounting work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Licensing in Pennsylvania
Consumer protection
The registration that does apply is the home improvement contractor registration with the Office of Attorney General, required of anyone whose home improvement business reaches the threshold the Act sets. Under the Act a home improvement contract must be in writing, signed by both parties, and carry the contractor's registration number, the start and completion dates, a description of the work and materials, the price, any subcontractors, proof of liability insurance and your right to rescind.

Hanging pictures looks like the least technical job in the house until the wall turns out to be plaster over wood lath and the first nail brings a saucer-sized chunk of it down with it.

Common TV mounting questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
