I wanted a flat panel over my gas fireplace. I called zip and they sold me on a consultation fee of $99.00, which can be applied toward the installation if I chose to go forward. I agreed thinking I would at least get the pros and cons and a good knowledge of what it would take to hide wires and power cables behind the wall. Well, after one reschedule (due to their error) I got a "consultant" that knew nothing about mounting other than drop wires and cables straight down -- outside the wall. I would ask him questions based on my limited knowledge from the internet and he seemed confused. Everthing was a maybe and nothing definitive. He said the company will call me back to go over the details. It has been over a month and no call. I searched Craiglist and got lots of installers, who did answer my questions, and the price was much cheaper than zip.

1.0 out of 5 stars Never use ZIP Express Installation, at least for TV wall mount, March 17, 2010

Bought the ZIP install package at BJ's. I had my SONY 52" LCD TV wall mounted last night. It was NOT a pleasant experience. Firstly, the guys were cribbing all the time about not getting enough money from ZIP about the job and that ZIP did not tell them that the TV was supposed to mounted over fireplace. My wife told ZIP while scheduling that the TV will go over fireplace. Secondly, they were complaining that they will not be paid enough by ZIP to cover the price of molding they will have to install to conceal wires and they did not even have enough molding with them so one of them went out to buy while the other one waited. Not that they needed huge length of molding. The total molding length needed/installed was about 7-8 feet. They even called their home office (not ZIP I think) asking if they can install molding and if they will be paid by ZIP. Thirdly, the worst part, they goofed up while measuring the TV height and drilled 4-6 holes and mounted the wall mount 4 inches lower. Then, while placing the TV on the mount they realized what they did since the TV wouldn't fit. They had to uninstall, re-drill 4 more holes to finally place the TV. I bought the service since I wanted to avoid drilling unnecessary holes on my wall. Thought that these guys are professionals and do this work day in and day out. Now we feel that we would have taken our chances to try installing ourselves. May be we would have saved this frustration and money. I personally wouldn't recommend this product to my friends and family. I am sure that there are other companies / professionals that do these jobs right and are more experienced. We just selected wrong one.

First the finished product--the installation of Samsung Series 7000 above a gas fireplace, was flawless. Because of the height, we had them install with a forward tilt mount. All cables were hidden for a very clean look. Duane and Nick knew what there were doing. They also did the electrical outlet that was required. Their price was $499 with a 15% Amazon discount. Would highly recommend Zip.
