Petraglia TV Mounting Services

Petraglia TV Mounting Services is a one-man East Boston operation homeowners call when a TV needs to go up, often the same day. Mike Petraglia runs it himself, and the reviews describe an emergency-service rhythm: a TV falls, a wall needs wiring run before movers arrive, and he has shown up the same afternoon more than once, including a 2024 call where a customer said he rushed right over to save a mounted TV. The recurring thread in the written record is difficulty. A 2023 review described Best Buy turning down a job for lack of wood studs before Petraglia mounted it anyway, and a 2024 review credited him with working out stud locations behind stacked stone that had stumped other installers. Reviews from 2021 and 2022 specifically call out clean wire concealment, cables routed inside the wall rather than left in a cover strip, and a few reviews - one from 2024 - describe him fixing damaged wiring and installing electrical outlets alongside the mounting work. What is worth asking about before booking: several reviews spread from 2021 through early 2025 describe being ghosted after the first job, a promised callback for additional work or a follow-up install that never happened despite repeated calls and texts. A 2023 review described being scheduled and blown off twice with no explanation, and a 2022 review said a fireplace-mount appointment was never explained after he stopped responding. A 2021 review described a quote that rose from $150 to $375 once wiring came up, and a 2025 review said an urgent call went unanswered, then got an irritated response to stop calling. None of this is about the mounting work itself falling apart - install-quality complaints are rare - it is specifically about what happens after the first visit is booked or when something extra gets asked for. He is a solid call for a straightforward TV or soundbar mount, especially an awkward wall or a same-day need. For anything beyond the original job - a second visit, added electrical work, or a follow-up install - get a firm date and a number in writing before counting on it.
