Custom TV & AV Installation
Custom TV & AV Installation Solutions — From $99
Not every installation fits a standard template. Maybe your wall is curved plaster in a 1920s home, or you need a TV in a corner alcove with no studs, or you want a motorized lift that hides the TV in a cabinet when not in use. Standard installers walk away from these jobs. TV Mounting Experts specializes in custom installations — non-standard wall types, unusual mounting angles, multi-TV configurations, motorized lifts, outdoor setups, and anything that requires creative engineering to get right. We assess the challenge, design a solution, and execute it with the same flat-rate pricing and warranty as our standard services. Same‑day appointments available in Charlotte, NC.
Why Choose Us for Custom Installations
Custom installs require problem-solving, not just tool skills. Here's why homeowners trust us with their toughest projects:
-
We Solve the Problems Others Can't
No studs behind the plaster? Metal studs that won't hold a 75" TV? Curved wall? Corner mount in a tight alcove? We've seen it all and have solutions — custom backing plates, steel reinforcement, specialty anchors, and creative bracket combinations.
-
Site Assessment Before Work Begins
Every custom job starts with a thorough assessment — wall construction, structural capacity, cable routing options, power availability, and viewing angles. We design the solution before we drill, so there are no surprises during installation.
-
Motorized Lifts & Concealed Systems
TV lifts that raise from cabinets, drop from ceilings, or swivel from hidden panels. We install and configure motorized lift mechanisms, wire the power and signal connections, and program remotes for seamless operation.
-
Multi-TV & Multi-Room Setups
Multiple TVs sharing a single source, video wall configurations, TVs in adjacent rooms controlled from one location, or a TV in every room with independent sources. We design the signal distribution and wire everything cleanly.
-
Flat-Rate Pricing from $99
Custom doesn't mean unpredictable pricing. We assess the project, provide a detailed flat-rate quote covering all labor and installation, and stick to it. Price varies with complexity — but you know the number before we start.
-
Same-Day & Next-Day Availability
Many custom installs can be completed same-day once the solution is designed. Same-day and next-day appointments in Charlotte, NC — including weekends. Complex projects may require a scheduled visit.
-
3-Year Warranty & Fully Insured
Every custom installation is backed by our 3-year warranty on workmanship — mounting, wiring, and mechanical systems. Our certified, background-checked technicians are fully insured.
Custom Projects We Handle
If a standard service page doesn't cover your situation, this one does. For standard installations, see our TV mounting, ceiling mount, and brick & stone mounting services.
-
Non-Standard Walls & Difficult Surfaces
Metal studs, lath-and-plaster, concrete block, glass, tile, curved walls, and walls with no stud access. We engineer mounting solutions using custom backing plates, toggle bolts rated for the load, steel reinforcement, or through-bolt systems.
-
Motorized Lifts & Hidden Panels
Cabinet TV lifts (MantelMount, Nexus 21), ceiling drop-down systems, swivel panels, and art cover systems. We install the mechanical lift, wire power and HDMI, configure the remote, and test the full range of motion.
-
Multi-TV, Outdoor & Unique Configurations
Video walls, multi-room TV distribution, outdoor-rated TV installations on patios and decks, corner mounts in tight spaces, angled ceilings, and TVs in bathrooms or kitchens. We handle environmental protection, signal distribution, and waterproof connections.
For full surround sound and media room setups, see our home theater installation service.
Flat-rate pricing, same-day availability, and a 3-year warranty on every job in Charlotte, NC.

What's Included in Our Custom Installation
Every custom project follows a structured process:
-
Site Assessment & Solution Design
We inspect the space, identify structural constraints, evaluate cable routing options, and design a mounting or installation solution specific to your project. Photos and measurements taken for planning.
-
Custom Hardware & Mounting
Installation using the hardware and techniques required for your specific situation — specialty brackets, custom backing plates, reinforced mounting systems, or motorized mechanisms.
-
Complete Wiring & Signal Routing
All HDMI, power, Ethernet, and audio cables routed and connected. For multi-TV setups, signal distribution configured. For motorized systems, power and control wiring installed and tested.
-
Full System Testing
Every connection verified, every mechanism tested through its full range, every display calibrated. For motorized lifts, we test the complete cycle and verify safety stops.
-
Walkthrough & Cleanup
We demonstrate the full system, explain operation and maintenance, and leave the area clean.
What's NOT Included (Limitations & Exclusions)
To set clear expectations:
-
Equipment & Hardware Purchases
You provide TVs, mounts, lifts, and AV equipment. We'll specify exactly what specialty hardware is needed during the assessment — custom brackets, backing plates, or signal splitters — and advise where to purchase them.
-
Electrical Work & Dedicated Circuits
We connect to existing outlets and route low-voltage wiring. New circuits, panel upgrades, or in-wall high-voltage wiring require a licensed electrician. Motorized lifts often need a nearby outlet — we'll identify this during assessment.
-
Structural Modifications & Construction
We install within existing structures. Building new walls, framing, major drywall work, or structural reinforcement beyond backing plates requires a general contractor.
-
Painting & Finish Work
We mount, wire, and calibrate. Painting, plastering, trim work, and other finish items are outside our scope.

Frequently Asked Questions — Custom Installation
How much does a custom installation cost?
Custom installations start at $99. Pricing depends on the complexity — non-standard wall mounting may cost similar to standard service, while motorized lifts and multi-TV setups cost more. We provide a detailed flat-rate quote after assessing your project.
Can you mount a TV on a wall with no studs?
Yes. We use heavy-duty toggle bolts, snap toggles, or install a custom plywood backing plate behind the drywall to create a solid mounting surface. The method depends on the TV's weight and the wall construction.
Can you mount a TV on metal studs?
Yes. Metal studs require toggle bolts or snap toggles that grip the stud — standard wood screws won't hold. For heavy TVs (65"+), we may install a backing plate across multiple metal studs for secure, distributed support.
Do you install motorized TV lifts?
Yes. Cabinet lifts, ceiling drops, and swivel panel systems. We install the mechanism, wire power and HDMI, configure the remote or app control, and test the full range of motion including safety stops.
Can you install an outdoor TV?
Yes. We mount outdoor-rated TVs on patios, decks, pool areas, and covered porches. Weatherproof mounting hardware, outdoor-rated cable connections, and proper drainage positioning are all part of our outdoor installation.
Can you set up multiple TVs from one source?
Yes. We configure HDMI splitters, matrix switches, and video distribution systems for multi-TV setups — sports bars at home, waiting rooms, or multi-room entertainment. Each display gets clean signal with proper resolution support.
How long does a custom installation take?
Simple custom mounts (non-standard walls) take 1–2 hours. Motorized lifts take 2–4 hours. Multi-TV and complex projects may require a half or full day. We estimate time during the assessment.
Do you offer same-day custom installation?
Many custom projects can be completed same-day once assessed. Same-day and next-day appointments available in Charlotte, NC — including weekends. Complex projects may require scheduling.
