Drywall, plaster, or brick — we find solid framing, use the right anchors, conceal the cables, and leave the TV dead level. Soundbars and shelves too.
TV size + a photo of the wall = an accurate quote. We reply within 24 hours.
Fixed, tilting, or full-motion mounts, rated for the TV's weight and anchored into solid framing — never just drywall anchors.
Oakland's Craftsman-era plaster walls and brick chimney breasts need the right hardware; we bring it.
In-wall routing where the wall allows, or clean paintable raceway where it doesn't — no dangling cords either way.
Soundbars, streaming boxes, and shelves mounted and wired at the same visit.
Including brick — with honest advice on height, heat, and whether a pull-down mount will save your neck.
Moving a TV? We patch and touch up the old mounting holes so the wall looks new. See drywall repair.
A lot of Oakland housing predates drywall entirely. Craftsman bungalows in Temescal, Rockridge, and the Laurel have plaster-and-lath walls where a stud finder lies to you and standard anchors crumble the plaster. Mid-century places in Montclair and the hills bring their own quirks — paneling, angled walls, brick fireplaces. Mounting a TV safely in these homes means finding real framing and using hardware matched to the wall, which is exactly the part people regret DIY-ing.
We mount TVs across Oakland — Fruitvale (where we're based), Grand Lake, Temescal, Rockridge, Montclair, the Dimond, Jack London — and the rest of the East Bay. Most installs are done in a single visit, quoted upfront from your TV size and a photo of the wall.
Renting? We work tidy and can patch old holes at move-out so the deposit comes back. See the Oakland handyman page for everything else we can knock out while we're there, or our San Francisco TV mounting page if you're across the bridge.
TV size, wall type if you know it, and a photo. Mention if you want cables hidden.
Mount included in the price if you need one. No surprises on arrival.
Level-checked, weight-tested, cables concealed, packaging out the door with us.
Price depends on TV size, wall type, and whether you want cables concealed. Tell us the TV size and send a photo of the wall, and we'll give you a fixed quote upfront — estimates are free.
Yes. Older Oakland homes often have plaster-and-lath walls or brick fireplaces, and both need different anchors and technique than standard drywall. We locate solid framing, use the right hardware for the wall, and confirm the mount is rated for your TV's weight.
Yes — in-wall cable concealment where the wall allows it, or low-profile raceway painted to match when in-wall routing isn't possible (common with plaster, brick, and rental units).
Either works. If you already have a mount, we'll install it. If not, tell us the TV size and whether you want fixed, tilting, or full-motion, and we'll bring the right one and include it in the quote.
Usually yes, including brick chimney breasts common in Oakland Craftsman homes. We'll flag heat concerns honestly and often recommend a pull-down or tilting mount so the viewing angle stays comfortable.
