That sleek, wall-mounted TV can transform your living room — until it ends up crooked, damaged, or worse, on the floor. We’ve seen countless DIY wall mount attempts go wrong, from bent brackets to cracked drywall and loose studs. While TV mounting seems simple, the reality is: it’s one of the most common handyman calls we get in Vancouver.
Here’s why hiring a professional for your TV installation is a smart investment — and what can go wrong if you try to do it alone.
Why DIY TV Mounting Goes Sideways (Literally)
Mounting a flat-screen isn’t just about drilling a few holes. Here’s what often goes wrong:
Not finding or missing wall studs
Using the wrong anchors for drywall
Leveling issues that leave the TV tilted
Bracket incompatibility with TV model
Cable management mistakes
Damage to internal wiring hidden behind walls
We’ve also seen people mount TVs above fireplaces without considering heat damage or viewing angles.
