65-Inch TV MantelMount Installation Above Fireplace in Marietta, GA
Project Summary
A Marietta, GA homeowner wanted their 65-inch TV professionally mounted above their living room fireplace using a MantelMount pull-down bracket. The goal was a clean, centered installation with no visible wires, a soundbar aligned beneath the TV, and the electrical outlet relocated behind the screen for seamless cord concealment. The MantelMount allows the TV to be pulled down to eye level for comfortable viewing, then pushed back flush above the mantel when not in use.
Installation Details
The 65-inch TV was mounted on a MantelMount articulating pull-down bracket secured into the drywall above the marble-surround fireplace. Our team located two wall studs behind the drywall using a precision stud finder and anchored the MantelMount wall plate with heavy-duty lag bolts. The TV was centered above the wood mantel shelf at the manufacturer-recommended height. A matching soundbar was mounted directly below the TV and aligned for a balanced, symmetrical appearance. The existing electrical outlet was relocated behind the TV's mounting footprint, and all power and signal cables were routed through the wall cavity for a completely wire-free finish.
Professional Techniques Used
Stud detection confirmed two solid wood studs behind the drywall above the fireplace. The MantelMount wall plate was leveled with a laser level and fastened with 3.5-inch lag bolts into both studs, providing the reinforced anchoring required for the pull-down mechanism and 65-inch TV weight. The electrical outlet was relocated to sit within the mount's footprint, with all wiring routed in-wall per NEC code. The soundbar was bracket-mounted and aligned to the TV's center axis. Safe heat clearance from the fireplace opening was verified before finalizing the mounting height. The MantelMount's full range of motion was tested to confirm smooth pull-down and return operation.
Benefits to the Customer
The Marietta living room now features a sleek 65-inch TV above the fireplace with zero visible cables and a perfectly aligned soundbar for immersive audio. The MantelMount bracket lets the homeowner pull the TV down to comfortable viewing height from the couch, eliminating neck strain common with high fireplace mounts. The relocated outlet and in-wall wiring deliver a clean, finished look with no power strips or dangling cords. Professional stud anchoring ensures the TV is securely mounted for long-term peace of mind, and safe clearance from the fireplace protects the TV from heat exposure.
