TV Wall Mounting in Montreal: What to Check Before Booking

Published

A wall-mounted TV can free up space and make a room easier to arrange. A well-planned installation starts with a few details: the television, its bracket, the wall and where you want the screen to sit.

Before booking TV wall mounting in Montreal, gather the information below. It helps Dovix understand your request and identify questions to resolve before the appointment.

1. Identify your TV’s size, model and weight

Start with the brand and exact model number, usually found on a label at the back of the television. If the label is difficult to reach, check the manual or purchase record instead of moving a heavy screen just to photograph it.

Share the screen size and the manufacturer’s listed weight without the stand. If you do not know the weight, send the model number or product link rather than guessing.

Also mention whether the TV is still boxed, standing on a cabinet or already mounted elsewhere. Removing an existing TV and fitting a new one should be included in your request from the start.

2. Check the wall bracket’s compatibility

The bracket needs to match the television and the intended installation. Check its rated load, supported screen sizes and VESA mounting pattern: the spacing of the mounting holes on the back of the TV, given in millimetres, such as 400 × 400 mm.

Choose the movement you need:

Bracket type What it allows
Fixed Holds the screen in a fixed position.
Tilting Adjusts the screen’s vertical viewing angle.
Full-motion Allows extension and side-to-side adjustment, within the model’s limits.

If you already have a bracket, send its brand and model or a clear photo of the box. Keep the instructions, screws, spacers and other supplied parts together. Confirm whether the bracket is supplied as part of your booking or whether you need to provide it.

3. Describe the wall and anything already attached to it

Tell Dovix whether the surface appears to be drywall, plaster, brick, concrete, tile or decorative panelling. If you know whether there are wood or metal studs behind it, include that information. If you are unsure, say so.

The visible finish does not establish what can support the TV. The fixing method must suit the wall structure, bracket instructions and load; ordinary drywall anchors should not be assumed suitable.

Mention old mounting holes, damaged areas or an existing bracket. Photos help with preparation, but the wall and fixing points still need to be checked on site. If you rent or live in a condo, confirm any relevant mounting permissions or building rules beforehand.

4. Explain your preferred position

Describe where you normally sit and what will be below the screen. Share an approximate preferred height, making clear whether you measured to the centre or bottom of the TV. Note nearby windows, a soundbar or furniture that could affect the position.

If the proposed location is above a fireplace, flag it before booking: heat exposure and the television manufacturer’s requirements need review.

Your preferred position is the starting point. The final location also depends on suitable fixing points and the bracket’s adjustment range.

5. Include cable plans and additional work

Say where the power outlet and connected devices are located, and whether you want visible cables organised or concealed. Do not assume cable concealment, a soundbar mount or removal of the old bracket is included without confirming the scope.

Any new outlet or wiring work should be assessed separately by a qualified electrician. Mention stairs, restricted access or a large screen that may affect handling and crew planning.

6. Prepare four useful photos

Dovix’s online booking form currently requires at least one job photo and accepts up to four. Prioritise these views:

  1. The whole wall: include the floor, nearby furniture and intended TV location.
  2. The TV model label: show the brand and model clearly, if safely accessible.
  3. The bracket or its box: show the model and any available specifications.
  4. The surrounding space: show outlets, cable routes, an existing mount or wall damage relevant to the work.

Photograph only what helps explain the job. Keep personal documents and access codes out of view. Put your contact details and service address in the booking form’s dedicated fields.

7. Review the service before confirming

Visit Dovix’s wall mounting and fastening service and check the available booking options. Select a listed fixed-price mission only when its description matches your TV and requested work; ask for clarification if the scope is uncertain.

With your TV details, bracket information and photos ready, book your TV wall mounting appointment online. Clear details help prepare the visit, while the final mounting approach depends on the equipment and conditions found on site.
