Service · Homes, offices & classrooms
Projector mounted, screen fitted, throw distance worked out properly, cable concealed and the whole thing set up and tested — home theatres, boardrooms, classrooms and training rooms across the GTA.
Tell us the projector model and the room dimensions and we will work out what fits before we quote.

What it is
Almost every projector problem we get called out to fix is a position problem, and position is decided before the drill comes out.
A projector is the one display where the mounting position is dictated by physics rather than by preference. The throw ratio of the unit and the image width you want together fix how far back it has to sit, and how high, and how square. Guess it and you end up with an image that overshoots the screen, sits off-centre, or has to be digitally squeezed back into shape — which throws away resolution and sharpness to correct a mounting error.
So we do the geometry first. Model, throw ratio, room dimensions, seating position and screen size, worked out to a mounting position before we commit to a hole. Then the physical work: mount the unit into real structure, fit the screen, conceal the cable, and set the system up.
Mounting options
Three approaches, chosen by the projector and the room rather than by habit.
The default for standard and long-throw units. Keeps the projector out of the light path and out of the way.
For short-throw units sitting close to the screen, and rooms where the ceiling cannot be used.
Sits centimetres from the wall and throws upward. Alignment tolerance is very tight.
How it goes
Five steps. The first one is arithmetic, and it saves the other four from going wrong.
Projector make and model, room dimensions, and where people will be sitting.
Throw distance, mounting height and screen size calculated before we quote.
Mount type, screen, cable route and any concealment, priced before we start.
Ceiling or wall fixed into something real — never into ceiling tile or bare drywall.
Image sized, squared and focused, cable concealed, sources tested, packaging taken away.
Works well with
Projectors usually arrive with cabling, a screen and sometimes a board. One crew, one visit.

Questions we get asked
If yours isn’t here, just ask us.
That is set by the projector's throw ratio and the screen width you want, and getting it wrong is the single most common problem we are called out to fix. A standard-throw unit might need four metres for a 100-inch image while an ultra-short-throw sits centimetres from the wall. Send us the model and the room dimensions and we will work out the mounting position before anything is drilled.
Ceiling is the usual answer for home theatre and boardrooms, because it keeps the unit out of the way and out of the light path. Wall or shelf mounting suits short-throw and ultra-short-throw units that sit close to the screen. What decides it is the throw distance, where the power and signal can reach, and whether the ceiling can take the load.
Yes, and it is common in GTA condos and commercial buildings. Concrete takes a proper anchor and is in many ways the most secure option. Suspended and drop ceilings are the ones needing care — the tile itself carries nothing, so we fix to the structure above it and use the correct drop.
Yes. Fixed-frame, manual pull-down and motorised screens are all routine. Motorised screens need power at the screen position, which is worth planning at the same time as the projector rather than discovering later. We size the screen to the room and the throw distance rather than to whatever is on sale.
Yes. A ceiling-mounted projector needs power and signal reaching it, and a cable draped across a ceiling undoes the whole installation. We route it through the ceiling void or the wall cavity where there is one, and use a paintable raceway on concrete. It is the same wire concealment work we do for televisions.
Yes. Most school and training-room installs are scheduled evenings, weekends or during breaks so the room stays usable, the same 9:00am to 8:00pm, seven-day availability we offer everywhere else.
Both. Mounting the unit is only half the job — every install finishes with the image sized to the screen, squared and focused before we call it done.
