TV Mounting Point Lake Forest: TV Dismount and Relocation in Lake Forest

Reading the old TV's hole pattern

Before the old TV comes down, the installer reads the four threaded holes on its back, which form the VESA pattern. A new mount must match the pattern in spacing, thread and bolt length, and the pattern is also the way to check whether an existing bracket will take a new screen.

Patching and move-outs

A removed mount leaves four holes in the wall. They are filled and sanded, and the paint is matched by the owner. In a rented home, the lease decides how holes are patched at move-out; renters ask the landlord before drilling. In a condo or townhome the association may also have a say about exterior fixtures.

• Holes: filled with compound and sanded.
• Paint: touched up by the owner.
• Lease: the landlord decides what is expected.

Moving a screen to another room

A TV that moves to a new room is a new install: the new wall is probed, the height is set from the seat and the mount is checked against the weight again. The installer carries the screen in its own box or wrapped in a blanket.

Disposal and recycling

Old TVs and cables go to e-waste collection, not the curb. The installer can name the usual drop-off options.
