TV & Furniture Mounting · Heber City, UT

Heber homes and their walls

Heber City has grown fast, and a lot of the TV mounting we're asked about is in homes that are only a few years old: new subdivisions around the edges of town, homes in and around Red Ledges, and newer builds toward Jordanelle. At the same time, there are older homes near Main Street with plaster walls, and cabins up in Timber Lakes. Each wall type needs a slightly different approach, and getting it right is the difference between a TV that sits flat for years and one that slowly pulls out of the wall.

What we run into in Heber

New-build drywall and settling

Most newer Heber homes have standard wood-stud walls, which are great for mounting once you find the studs. The catch is that new homes settle through their first few winters. A TV mount bolted securely into studs isn't affected, but a mount hung on drywall anchors can loosen as the framing shifts and the dry winter air shrinks everything. We mount into studs whenever the wall allows, and if a TV has to sit off-stud, we'll explain the options before anything goes up. If you're moving a TV from a spot an earlier owner used, we can patch and touch up the old holes too. See drywall patching.

Tall great-room walls

Many Heber homes have vaulted great rooms facing the mountain views, with big walls and windows. The temptation is to hang the TV high. We'll help you pick a height that's comfortable to watch from the couch, and talk through tilting mounts if the TV has to go higher.

Stone and over-the-fireplace mounts

Stone and stacked-stone fireplaces are common in Wasatch County homes. Mounting into stone means drilling into the stone or mortar with masonry anchors rated for the load. Over a wood-burning or gas fireplace, heat rising off the mantel is the big question. We'll look at photos, check the clearance from the firebox and mantel, and tell you straight if a spot isn't a good idea for the TV.

Basement media rooms

Lots of Heber homes have finished basements with family rooms or theater rooms, which is where the bigger TVs and full-motion mounts end up. A full-motion arm puts a lot of leverage on the wall, so it needs solid framing behind it.

Older homes near Main Street

Plaster and lath walls crack if you drill them carelessly, and the studs aren't always where you'd expect. We go slowly, drill clean pilot holes and anchor into framing.

What's included

Fixed, tilting and full-motion TV wall mounts, using your mount or one you've picked out
Finding studs and confirming the wall can take the load before drilling
Leveling the TV and tidying cables with paintable cord covers or raceways along the wall
Soundbars, streaming boxes and small shelves for equipment
Mirrors, art, floating shelves and gallery walls while we're there
Anti-tip anchoring for TV stands, dressers and bookcases, especially in homes with kids

We don't add outlets or run new wiring behind the wall. That's work for an electrician. If you want the cords hidden completely, we can recommend in-wall cable management kits that don't need new wiring, or plan the TV near an existing outlet.

Moving into a new Heber home?

New homeowners usually have a list: TVs on the wall, beds and dressers assembled, curtain rods and blinds up, and shelves in the garage. We can tackle the whole list in one visit. See furniture assembly and general repairs. Bunk beds and tall dressers get anchored to the wall as part of the job.

We also mount TVs in nearby Midway, Charleston, Daniel and Hideout.

TV mounting in Heber City: FAQ

Can you mount a TV over the fireplace in my Heber home?

Often, yes, depending on the wall, the mount and the heat coming off the fireplace. Send photos of the fireplace and mantel and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a good spot.

Do I need to buy the mount?

You can buy your own mount, or tell us the TV size and where it's going and we'll help you pick the right type: fixed, tilting or full-motion.

Can you hide the cords?

We can tidy cables with paintable cord covers and raceways, and recommend in-wall cable management kits that don't need new wiring. Adding a new outlet behind the TV is a job for an electrician.

My house is brand new. Is it okay to mount a TV right away?

Yes. Mounting into studs isn't affected by normal settling. New homes do get nail pops and small drywall cracks over the first few winters, and we can fix those later if they show up.
