Say Goodbye to Crooked TVs: Methuen’s Trusted Mounting Experts Weigh In
We’ve all seen it—the slightly tilted TV that drives you crazy every time you sit down to watch. Maybe it’s a DIY job gone wrong, or perhaps the mount shifted over time. Either way, a crooked TV ruins the viewing experience and makes your space look messy.
Luckily, Methuen’s trusted TV mounting professionals are here to help. With years of experience serving local homes—from Colonial-style houses in Methuen Village to modern apartments near The Loop—they’ve seen it all. Here’s their expert advice on keeping your TV perfectly level and securely mounted.
Why Do TVs Go Crooked in the First Place?
Before we fix the problem, let’s understand why it happens:
✔ Uneven Wall Studs – Not all walls are perfectly flat, and if your mount isn’t aligned with the studs properly, your TV can tilt.
✔ Loose Bolts or Screws – Over time, vibrations (from sound systems or slamming doors) can loosen the mount.
✔ Improper Installation – If the mount wasn’t leveled correctly from the start, your TV will never sit straight.
✔ Cheap or Wrong Mounts – Not all mounts are created equal—some can’t handle the weight of larger TVs.
Pro Tips to Keep Your TV Perfectly Straight
1. Use the Right Tools (No Guesswork!)
A high-quality stud finder and laser level are a must. Eyeballing it leads to mistakes—trust the pros on this one.
2. Double-Check Before Drilling
Mark your drill points with painter’s tape first.
Ensure the mount is level before securing it.
If your wall is uneven, use spacers to balance the mount.
3. Choose the Correct Mount for Your TV
Fixed mounts = No tilt, ultra-secure.
Tilting mounts = Adjustable angle (great over fireplaces).
Full-motion mounts = Swivel for flexible viewing (but require extra reinforcement).
4. Tighten & Secure Everything Properly
Use lock washers to prevent screws from loosening over time.
Follow the manufacturer’s weight limits—don’t risk it with an undersized mount!
Give the TV a gentle shake test after mounting to ensure stability.
5. When in Doubt, Call a Pro
Even a small mistake can lead to a crooked TV—or worse, a fallen one. Methuen’s expert installers have the tools and experience to get it right the first time, with no stress on your end.
