Mounting a TV gets all the attention, but taking one down safely is its own job. A 65-inch TV lifted off a mount by one person is the most common way screens get cracked — and landlords in Miami often want the wall back without four holes and a stain.
When people call us
- Moving out of a rental or selling the house
- Upgrading to a bigger TV that the old mount can't carry
- Remodeling — painters, new drywall, a new feature wall
- Rearranging — the TV moves to another room
What a dismount includes
- Unplug and label every cable.
- Unlock the safety screws, lift the TV off with two people, set it face-up on a soft surface.
- Remove the arms from the TV and put the screws in a labeled bag taped to the mount.
- Take the wall plate down.
- Fill the holes — spackle on drywall, patching compound on concrete and block — ready for paint.
Moving the TV
If you're moving, keep the original box if you still have it. If not, a TV should travel upright, never flat, wrapped in a blanket with the screen protected. We can hand it over ready for the movers.
Remounting at the new place
Same TV, new wall: check if the old mount fits the new wall and room — a fixed mount that was perfect in a Brickell condo may be wrong for a corner in the new house. And if you're upgrading: will your wall mount fit your new TV?
