TV Mounting & Wall Hanging in Madison, WI
TVs, mirrors, art, and wall hangings anchored into studs — with the know-how for the plaster walls common in older Madison homes.
Mounting anything heavy on a wall comes down to one question: what's behind the surface? We locate the studs and anchor into the framing — not just the drywall — so a TV stays where we put it and a heavy mirror stays on the wall instead of on the floor. That matters most in the older Madison neighborhoods where the walls are plaster and lath rather than drywall, which needs a different approach and different anchors to hold safely.
Wall hanging covers everything else that goes on a wall: framed art and pictures, quilts and tapestries, gallery hangs, hooks, and shelving. We match the anchor to the weight and the wall type so the piece stays level and the wall stays intact, and we hide the cable path when we mount a TV so the wall reads clean.
What Mounting & Hanging Work Includes
TV Mounting
Anchor a TV mount into studs so the set stays secure and level over years of use.
Stud Finding
Locate the framing behind the wall rather than trusting drywall or plaster alone to hold.
Plaster Wall Handling
Use the right anchors and care for the plaster and lath walls common in older Madison homes.
Mirror & Picture Hanging
Hang heavy mirrors and framed art with anchors matched to the weight and the wall type.
Quilt & Art Hanging
Hang quilts, tapestries, and gallery pieces so they stay level and the wall stays intact.
Hooks & Shelving
Install wall hooks and shelving anchored to hold the load they're meant to carry.
How a Mount or Hang Gets Done
Send photos of the wall and the item
A picture of the wall, the TV size or the item's weight, and a note on whether the wall is drywall or plaster is usually enough for an initial estimate by phone or email.
Locate the studs
We find the framing behind the wall so the mount or anchor lands in solid wood rather than just the surface.
Protect the area
Floors and furnishings under the work get covered, and we keep dust contained while drilling or anchoring.
Mount and level
The TV mount, mirror, or art is anchored into the studs and set level, with the cable path hidden for a clean wall.
Test and clean up
We confirm the mount holds, the piece is level, and we leave the area clean.
What to Know About Mounting in Madison Homes
Studs hold the weight, not the drywall. A TV or heavy mirror needs to be anchored into framing. We locate the studs so the mount is supported by structure, not just the surface.
Plaster needs a different touch. The plaster and lath walls in older Madison homes crack and crumble under the wrong anchors. We use the right hardware and care so the wall holds and stays intact.
The box hardware isn't enough. The hook that comes with a heavy mirror rarely matches the load. We match the anchor to the weight and the wall so the piece stays put.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you mount a TV so it stays put?+
We find the studs behind the wall, not just the drywall, and anchor the mount to those studs so the TV is supported by framing rather than the surface. That's what holds a TV safely over years of use.
Can you mount a TV on a plaster wall?+
Yes. Many older Madison homes have plaster and lath walls, which need different anchors and care than drywall. We locate the studs through the plaster and secure the mount to the framing so it holds.
Do you hang heavy mirrors and large pictures?+
Yes. We hang mirrors, framed art, and heavy pictures by anchoring into studs or the appropriate wall material so the weight is supported by the structure, not just the hook that came in the box.
What else can you hang on the walls?+
Quilts, tapestries, gallery hangs, hooks, shelves, and wall-mounted hardware all fall under wall hanging. We match the anchor to the weight and the wall type so everything stays where we put it.
How is TV mounting and wall hanging estimated?+
Most mounts and hangs can be estimated from a photo of the wall, a note on the TV size or the item's weight, and whether the wall is drywall or plaster. We can usually give you an initial estimate by phone or email.
