Not every TV installation needs to be a comprehensive, all-inclusive package. Sometimes homeowners want professional mounting expertise for the critical parts while handling finishing touches themselves. That approach makes perfect sense, and at The Mounting Man, we're happy to work with clients on solutions that fit their budget and comfort level with DIY projects.
This 75-inch TV installation in Minnetonka demonstrates exactly that flexible approach. The homeowners wanted professional mounting with a quality tilt bracket—the part that absolutely needs to be done right for safety and functionality. But they felt confident handling the cord concealing themselves, which kept the project cost down while still ensuring the most important elements were professionally installed.
We mounted this substantial 75-inch display onto drywall using proper stud mounting techniques, securing the tilt bracket with lag bolts driven directly into wall studs for maximum stability. At this screen size, proper anchoring becomes even more critical. A 75-inch TV represents significant weight and investment, so there's no room for shortcuts in the mounting process.
The tilt bracket gives these homeowners excellent viewing angle control, letting them adjust the screen position to minimize glare and optimize comfort from their seating area. With the professional mounting complete, they now have the option to tackle cord concealment at their own pace, using methods that work for their specific setup and aesthetic preferences.
For homeowners who want to handle cable management themselves, several approaches can work well. Cable raceways or cord covers provide a clean look and install relatively easily with adhesive backing or small mounting clips. These come in paintable versions that can match your wall color, making them nearly invisible once finished.
Another popular option is fishing cables through the wall itself—more involved but offering the cleanest possible appearance. This typically requires a power relocator kit to safely bring an outlet behind the TV (important for code compliance), plus some comfort working with drywall. Many hardware stores carry cable management kits with detailed instructions for DIYers.
The beauty of handling this part yourself is working on your own timeline and choosing solutions that match your skill level and budget. Some homeowners tackle it immediately, while others live with the setup for a while before deciding on their preferred approach.
The Mounting Man believes in meeting clients where they are. Some want white-glove service with every detail handled professionally. Others prefer a hybrid approach like this Minnetonka installation, where we handle the structural mounting while they manage cosmetic finishing. Both approaches are perfectly valid, and we're equipped to work either way.
What matters most is that the safety-critical elements—the actual mounting of your expensive TV to the wall—are done correctly with proper anchoring techniques. This ensures your investment stays exactly where it should be for years to come, regardless of whether cables are concealed behind the wall or managed with surface-mounted solutions.
