TV mounting done properly

TV mounting, home theater and home WiFi for Oakland and the East Bay.

Evenings and weekends — usually when you're actually home.

Text me the size of your TV and a photo of the wall and I'll give you an exact price — usually within a few minutes. No site visit needed to quote.

What I do

My background is low-voltage cabling and network equipment, not general handyman work. It shows in where the mount goes and where the cables end up.

TV mounting

Fixed, tilting or full-motion mounts, into real studs and torqued down. Drywall, plaster, brick, stone, tile or concrete.

from $150

Hiding the cables

Every mount includes the cable run in a paintable surface cover. Fully concealed inside the wall, with rated cable and proper wall plates, is an upgrade.

included · in-wall from $100

Home theater & WiFi

Soundbars and speakers mounted and connected, streaming boxes set up, and WiFi that actually reaches the far end of the house.

What it costs

You get a firm price before I start, not after. If the wall turns out to be something other than what we discussed, we agree the new price before anything gets drilled.

How it works

Send a photo

The wall, and the model number off your TV box. That's enough for an exact price.

Pick an evening

Most jobs take an hour or two. Evenings and weekends are normal, not an extra.

It's done that visit

Tested on every input, cables dressed, floor vacuumed, packaging taken away.

Why me

Mounts go into real studs and get torqued down — not toggle bolts in drywall
In-wall runs use rated cable and proper wall plates, the way the code asks for
Every input tested before I leave, not just the one you were watching
Full-motion mounts checked at full extension so no cable pulls tight
Drop cloths down, floor vacuumed, boxes taken away
Firm price before the first hole — no surprises halfway through
