What we do
TV mounting, done right the first time
Bay Area homes are a mix of modern drywall, 1920s plaster and brick or stone fireplaces, and each one needs different anchors. We find the studs or masonry, match the hardware to your wall, and check the mount for level before the TV goes up.
You choose and buy the mount (we'll tell you exactly what fits your TV and wall after seeing your photos), and we bring the tools, drill bits and know-how.
Typical time: 45–60 min per TV. A 3-hour visit usually covers four to six jobs, and a 2-hour visit fits a shorter list, so add the rest of your list. See all services.
What's included
- Locating studs or solid masonry and choosing the right anchors
- Mounting fixed, tilting or full-motion wall mounts
- Drywall, plaster, brick and stone walls
- Hanging the TV and checking it's level
- Tidying cables with a surface cord cover you pick up
- Mounting a soundbar or streaming box below the TV
Before your visit
How to get ready
Helpful to have ready
- Send a photo of the wall and the TV model (or its size)
- Buy the mount we recommend, and a cord cover if you want one
- Clear the area in front of the wall
- Decide on the height: a quick tape mark on the wall helps
Customers buy parts upfront at store prices with no markup. After seeing your photos we send the exact list, and we can pick it up on the way.
Good to know
Running power inside the wall or adding a new outlet behind the TV is electrical work for a licensed electrician. A paintable surface cord cover is a simple, tidy alternative.

FAQ
TV mounting questions
How much does TV mounting cost?
It's part of our flat $189 for 2 hours or $250 for 3 hours. Most TVs take 45–60 minutes, so you can add other jobs to the same visit at no extra cost. Each extra hour is $80.
Can you mount a TV on plaster or brick?
Yes. We mount on drywall, plaster, brick and stone, using anchors made for that wall type.
Do I need to buy the TV mount?
Yes. Customers buy parts upfront at store prices with no markup. After seeing your photos we send the exact mount and hardware to buy, and we can pick it up on the way.
Can you hide the cords inside the wall?
Adding an outlet or running power inside the wall needs a licensed electrician. We can neatly install a surface cord cover that you can paint to match the wall.
