The Mounting Man team was out in Lakeville on February 3rd, 2026 for a TV upgrade above the fireplace. Our service technician Marz handled this one from start to finish — unmounting the homeowner's existing 65-inch TV and replacing it with a brand new 70-inch Samsung, all secured with a tilt mounting bracket.
This installation involved more than just hanging a TV on the wall. Marz first had to carefully unmount the existing 65-inch television, remove the old bracket hardware, and then install a new tilt bracket sized to support the larger 70-inch Samsung. The TV was mounted on drywall directly above the fireplace, with lag bolts driven into wall studs for a secure hold.
The tilt bracket was the perfect choice for this above-fireplace setup. Mounting a TV above a fireplace means the screen sits higher than standard eye level, and a tilt bracket angles the display downward for a comfortable, glare-free viewing experience from the couch. It also makes it easier to access ports and connections on the back of the TV when needed.
The fireplace features a classic wood mantel with a tile surround, and the homeowner chose a striking dark accent wall that really makes the Samsung's picture pop. The result is a clean, dramatic focal point for the living room that looks like it belongs in a showroom.
Lakeville is one of the fastest-growing communities in the south metro, filled with beautiful newer-construction homes and established neighborhoods alike. Above-fireplace TV mounting is one of the most popular requests we get from Lakeville homeowners, and it's easy to see why — it creates a stunning centerpiece for the living room while keeping things clean and cable-free.
