[ES] How to Hire a TV Mounting Professional in Toronto (Red Flags to Avoid)

The barrier to entry for "TV installation" is extremely low. Someone with a drill and a Kijiji ad can claim to be a professional. Here's how to separate the pros from the problems.

7 Questions to Ask Before Booking

1. "Do you carry Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance?"

If they drill into a water pipe or drop your $3,000 OLED, who pays? If they aren't insured, you pay. We carry $2M CGL coverage.

2. "Do you carry extra hardware?"

TVs come with the wrong screws 90% of the time. A real pro arrives with M4, M6, and M8 hardware, washers, and spacers.

3. "How do you handle metal studs?"

If they say "same as wood," hang up immediately. Metal studs need toggle bolts — wood screws will rip out.

4. "Do you warranty your work?"

A good installer guarantees the mount stays on the wall.

5. "What's your experience with [your wall type]?"

Whether it's brick, concrete, or Lathe-and-plaster, every surface needs a different technique.

6. "Do you do wire concealment?"

Dangling cables are a safety hazard. Ask what's included.

7. "Can I see reviews?"

Google Reviews with photos of actual installs tell the real story.

Red Flags

• Cash-only jobs (no paper trail)
• No contract or quote in writing
• "I've done this for years" without specifics
• Price too good to be true (under $50)
• No equipment van or professional appearance
