Chicago Handyman Service
TV Mounting Service in Chicago
MainteGO mounts flat-screen TVs in Chicago homes, apartments, condos, and rental properties. We install fixed, tilting, and full-motion brackets, set the viewing height, level the screen, attach the TV, and can organize visible cables with surface-mounted covers when requested.
Send the TV model and size, bracket model, full-wall photos, and your preferred screen height. Show nearby outlets, fireplaces, cabinets, soundbars, game consoles, and streaming devices so the placement works for the room before drilling begins.

Choose the right position
What Affects a TV Mounting Plan
A safe, useful placement depends on more than screen size. The mount specification, wall assembly, viewing position, and connection layout all matter.
TV Size, Weight, and VESA Pattern
The television model and mounting pattern must fall within the bracket manufacturer’s supported range.
Drywall, Plaster, Brick, or Masonry
Wall construction determines the fastening approach and may limit where a bracket can be positioned.
Bracket Type and Extension
Full-motion brackets place different forces on a wall than fixed mounts and need additional compatibility review.
Outlets and Connected Devices
Share the location of power, streaming devices, consoles, soundbars, and existing cable openings before selecting the final height.

Chicago project planning
TV Mounting for Chicago Homes & Rentals
Chicago homes may have newer drywall, vintage plaster and lath, exposed brick, or masonry behind a finished wall. Those surfaces take different fasteners, and condo drilling hours or elevator rules may also affect the appointment.

TV Mounting FAQ
TV Mounting Questions
TVs may be mounted on drywall over framing, plaster, brick, or masonry when the wall is sound and the correct fastening method is available. Send a wide photo of the wall and tell us anything you know about its construction. The safest mounting position may differ from the first visual preference.
Send the TV model, screen size, weight, and VESA pattern, plus the mount model or product link. A photo of the full wall should show outlets, furniture, soundbars, cabinets, and the preferred screen location.
Fireplace installations need separate review because heat, wall construction, mantel depth, viewing height, and hidden utilities can change the scope. Do not assume the space is suitable from a front photo alone; include side views and fireplace details with the request.
This service can include basic organization of visible cables with compatible surface-mounted covers. New outlets, in-wall power, or other electrical changes are not part of standard TV mounting and should be requested through Electrical Services.
Yes, if the bracket supports the TV's size, weight, and VESA pattern and is appropriate for the wall and intended movement. Send both model numbers and photos of all included hardware before the visit.
Start with the usual seating position, not only the center of the wall. Share a room photo that shows the sofa or bed, nearby furniture, outlets, and any soundbar. We can review the preferred height before holes are drilled.
The position may need to shift, or a different mounting plan may be required. Wall structure, TV weight, bracket type, and nearby utilities take priority over exact centering when those factors conflict.
