Remodeled Room TV Mounting in Westminster
TV Mounting Mark Westminster covers TV mounting in Westminster rooms that were remodeled — a wall taken out, a doorway moved, a kitchen opened to the family room — where fresh drywall hides studs that moved, and the framing is located again instead of assumed.

Smooth walls, unreliable memory
A remodel leaves a wall that looks the same everywhere and tells nothing about what is behind it. The original studs may have been cut, doubled or relocated, and the new board may be a different thickness than the old. The installer starts from the finished surface and works inward, with a stud finder for a guess and a thin probe hole for the answer.
What the numbers show
- Finder guess The finder gives an approximate position, and old patches or new board can throw it off.
- Hole in the gap A probe hole that finds nothing behind the surface shows the stud lies to one side.
- Hole in the wood A hole that meets wood confirms the stud and its edge.
- Stud edge Two edges give the center, where the bolt goes.
When one wall is new and the next is not
In a room remodeled one wall at a time, the side that was rebuilt is new drywall on fresh studs, while the wall beside it can still be the original plaster. A mount on either one is straightforward once the material is known; what goes wrong is treating both walls alike.
| Wall | Usual material | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Rebuilt wall | New drywall on wood studs | Standard lag bolts, no surcharge |
| Original wall | Plaster over lath or early drywall | Slower drilling, longer bolts, $24–$44 added |
Cords in an open-plan room
Opening a room often removes the wall behind the old TV spot, so the new spot may sit far from an outlet. The choices are a paintable raceway across the wall surface, or an in-wall rated power kit if the wall can be opened. A standard power cord never runs inside a wall, and a new outlet is work for an electrician.
Centering the screen on the room
In an open-plan room the TV serves a sofa, a counter and sometimes a dining table at once. Tape on the wall and a quick check from each seat show where one screen can work for all of them, or whether a swing arm would serve the room better.
Remodeled Room TV Mounting — common questions
Are remodeled walls always drywall?
Mostly, but not always. A remodel often replaces some walls and leaves others, so a room can hold both new drywall and original plaster.
Can the old studs be trusted after a remodel?
Not without checking. Studs may have been cut or moved, so each one is proved with a small probe hole before a bolt goes in.
