TV Mounting in Ellicott City MD
Skip the crooked TV and the wobbly shelf. We mount TVs and install the shelves, blinds, curtain rods and mirrors you've been meaning to put up, level, secure and anchored properly.
TV Mounting in Ellicott City Done Securely and Level
A wall-mounted TV looks clean and frees up floor space, but only if it's mounted at the right height, perfectly level and anchored into something solid. Roger's Handyman Services mounts TVs for homeowners across Ellicott City and Howard County, and handles the rest of the installation jobs on your list while we're there.
What's Included in Our TV Mounting Service
Finding studs and the right anchors
Most TV mounts need to go into wall studs. We locate them, plan the mount position around them, and use the correct hardware for your wall type so the TV stays put.
Height, position and viewing angle
We'll help you choose a comfortable viewing height for the room and seating, and confirm the position with you before drilling.
Mount types
- Fixed mounts: slim and close to the wall
- Tilting mounts: angle the screen down for higher placements
- Full-motion mounts: swing out and turn for corner viewing or open-plan rooms
You can supply your own mount, or let us know your TV size and we'll advise on what to buy. Please note that running cables inside walls or adding new outlets is electrical work that we don't perform.
More Installation Services Beyond TV Mounting
TV mounting is often just the first item on the list. While we're there, we can install:
Shelves and storage
Floating shelves, bracket shelves, wall organizers, hooks, coat racks and garage storage, all mounted level and anchored for the load they'll carry.
Window treatments
Curtain rods, blinds and shades are fiddly to install evenly, especially across several windows. We measure, mark and hang them so they line up.
Mirrors, artwork and gallery walls
Heavy mirrors need proper anchors. Gallery walls need careful spacing. We hang both so they're secure and look intentional.
Furniture assembly
Bookshelves, desks, dressers, bed frames and other flat-pack furniture, assembled correctly and anchored to the wall when it's a tip-over risk.

How TV Mounting Day Works
Tell us your TV size, the wall type if you know it, and what else you'd like installed. We'll give you an estimate and schedule a time. On the day, we confirm placement with you, mount and level everything, tidy up and make sure you're happy before we leave.
Moving a TV to a new wall?
We can take down the old mount and patch and paint the holes it leaves behind, so the old wall looks untouched.
Tips Before Your TV Mounting Appointment
- Have the TV, mount and any hardware on site and unboxed if possible
- Decide roughly where the furniture and seating will go
- Clear the area in front of the wall
- Think about where cable boxes, soundbars or game consoles will sit
Bundling several installs into one appointment is the most efficient way to use your visit, since many of these jobs take only a few minutes each once the tools are out.
Choosing the Right Height for TV Mounting
The most common mistake with TV mounting is placing the screen too high. As a general guide, the center of the screen should sit close to eye level when you're seated, which is often around 40 to 45 inches from the floor in a living room. Bedrooms and rooms where you watch while standing may suit a higher position, and a tilting mount helps when the TV has to go higher, such as above a console or fireplace.
Wall types we mount on
Most homes in Ellicott City and Howard County have drywall over wood studs, which is ideal for secure TV mounting. We also mount on plaster walls and other surfaces using the appropriate anchors and techniques. If your wall is unusual, send a photo and we'll confirm before your appointment.
Soundbars and accessories
We can mount soundbars below the TV, install small shelves for streaming boxes, and add cord covers to keep visible cables neat and tidy along the wall.
