TV Wall Installation with extending and Lowering Mount

Mar 2014

A regular wall mount was going to hang the TV too high up on the wall above the fireplace mantle. Customers wanted to be able to watch their TV still at regular height but without having a table in front of fireplace. This mount gives them the option to push the TV out of the way when they are not watching and need more space. This mount requires wood studs behind the drywall or solid bricks. In their case however, the chimney was fake and there was only thin plywood behind drywall. I had to use toggle anchors for extra support as well as double the number of screws that came with the mount just to be certain the TV would stay there securely.

Kitchen Remodeling

May 2007

All previous kitchen cabinets had to be removed, as well as the appliances. The ceiling was originally lower above wall cabinets so I had to completely cut the drywall there and see what was behind it, in order to fit the newer taller cabinets all the way up to the ceiling. There were some pipes running around the ceiling corners so a cabinet had to be cut out slightly on top and made to fit around. Wood enclosures had to be built for other of the pipes so they do not show outside cabinets. Then a wood molding was installed around the top of the cabinets in order to seal the space above them to the ceiling and create a finished look. Lights were installed as well above sing on the ceiling.

Video Projection, Screens and TV monitors

Jul 2006

Set up and installation of various sizes projector screens and setting up projectors and TVs. I have many similar projects around the area as well as lots of home TV and projector installations. For every projector mounting, the proper distance to the screen has to be calculated based on lens type and screen size, even before ordering the projector just to make sure it would be compatible at all with your specific set up.
