Flat-screen mount: left on the wall or taken

The screen comes off. The bracket is a decision. We are not your installer unless we wrote it. How a Kansas City TV mount sits next to the move.

ARTICLE IMAGE

TVs and electronics is the screen upright, original box if you have it, cables in a bag you keep. China cabinet: glass off first is shelves out of a case. Smart-home gear you should pack is the next page. This page is the bracket on the wall: left for the next tenant, or taken with the screen. We will not patch holes unless [WHAT TIM WILL HONOUR] says so. Two ZIP codes: Get my price. We will not write “licensed and insured.”

From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. Most local jobs $1,200–$1,500. Unbolting a mount is time on the clock if we do it. We do not publish a TV-install fee here. We will not set up your home theatre on the other end unless we agreed it in writing. What changes the price. How we quote: two ZIP codes. Compare hours: how to compare hourly quotes. Damage: [TIM'S DAMAGE POLICY]. What I will honour: [WHAT TIM WILL HONOUR].

Leave it. Take it. Say which.

  • Rental: landlord may want the bracket left — moving out of a rental, landlord walkthrough
  • You own the mount: take it with the screen, or leave it and buy another
  • We take the screen off the wall; we are not a mounting service unless we wrote it — TVs and electronics
  • Holes in the drywall are yours unless [WHAT TIM WILL HONOUR] covers them
  • Cables and the sound bar ride with you or in a first-night tote — first-night box

Stairs: stairs and tight turns. Walk-up: walk-ups. Be home with the remote and the bag — how to be home. Two doors: who should be at each end. Living room is the usual wall — packing the living room. What you are not taking: a mount that stays is in that pile — what you are not taking.

What we will not do with a bracket

We will not guess studs in a new construction wall as a free install — new-construction. We will not lay a screen flat under a sofa. We will not patch and paint a rental unless that is written. How long: how long a local move takes. If it runs long because the mount was seized, that is still the clock — what we do if it runs long. A third is for a piano or a safe, not for a 55-inch — when you need a third, how we staff three. Labour only still needs the screen off the wall before we walk — labour-only. A tip is not an installer — tipping. Same-day with a seized mount is the least likely yes — same-day. Furniture that will not turn is a sofa; this is a wall — furniture that will not turn. China glass off first is a cabinet: china cabinet glass off first.

Parking: parking. Long carry: long carry and shuttle. Keys late: keys late. Closing day: closing day. Origin ready, dest not: origin ready, destination not. Overnight on the truck: a screen overnight is still local only if we agree — overnight on the truck. What to tell us: size, floor, mount stays or goes — what to tell us. Week before: what movers need the week before. After the form: after you request a price. Photos of the wall and the stair: photos that get a written price. Video: video walkthrough. Walk: what a walkthrough looks like. Morning-of: moving-day morning. Kids and pets out of the living room — kids and pets. Rain on a walk-up: rain plan for a walk-up. Ice: ice on the drive. Heat: heat and a third-floor walk-up. Wind: a screen is not a mattress — wind and mattresses. How we use dollies: not for a TV as a default — how we use dollies.

Frequently asked questions

Leave the mount for the next tenant?

Say so. A rental walkthrough may want it left. See landlord walkthrough.

Is this the TV packing page?

That page is upright, box, cables. This page is the bracket on the wall. Read both.

Holes in the wall.

Yours unless [WHAT TIM WILL HONOUR] says otherwise. We will not invent a patch fee here.

Sound bar still on the mount.

Take it off. Cables in a bag you keep. See TVs and electronics.
