TV Wall Mounting (61" and up)
Anything past 60 inches is heavy enough that where the bracket lands actually matters. I mount into two studs minimum, and I check the wall before the TV comes out of the box.
No deposit. Pay when it's done. Or call John on (619) 928-6500.
Estimate
6 questions. Then a number.
Screen size, wall, wires. The price appears on the last screen.
- You get the number whether you leave your details or not. No email wall.
- The mount itself adds nothing — you buy it, I fit it, and you keep a part you can take with you.
- It's an estimate. A photo of the wall is what makes it firm.
What's included
- Wall checked for framing and for anything behind it before I drill
- Bracket anchored across two studs minimum
- Careful lift and hang — I bring the right gear so the panel is never at risk
- Height and tilt set with you, then leveled
- Cables routed and tucked
- Tested, and the packaging hauled out
What I'll need from you
- The TV and a mount rated for its size and weight
- A clear path from the box to the wall
- An outlet within reach of the mounted position
- How long it takes
- Around 90 minutes.

You held it up with one hand to check it fits, didn't you.
Why does 61" and up cost more?
It's a longer job and a more careful one. Bigger panels need a wider bracket spanning two studs, a more exact level, and a controlled lift. The price is flat either way — you'll know it before I arrive.
Do you need a second person for the lift?
I work alone, and I bring the equipment that makes a solo lift safe. If a particular install genuinely needs a second pair of hands, I'll tell you when you send the photo rather than after I'm standing in your living room.
Will the mount hold on my wall?
Into studs, yes. Send a photo of the wall and tell me the TV model, and I'll confirm before booking. If it's plaster, brick, or a wall I can't safely anchor to, I'll say so.

Often booked at the same visit
Adding a second job to the same trip is the cheapest way to buy my time — the drive only gets paid for once.
Large TV installation in San Diego, 61 inches and up
A 75 or 85 inch panel is not a bigger version of the same San Diego installation — it is a different job with a different failure mode. The bracket has to span two studs minimum, which means the mount position is decided by the framing rather than by where you would ideally like the screen. In the 1920s stock around South Park and Normal Heights, where studs wander off the 16-inch layout, that constraint bites hardest, and it is the reason I pilot the wall before anything comes out of the box.
Weight is the other half. These panels run 60 to 100 pounds and the dangerous moment is the lift, not the drilling. I bring the gear to do it controlled and single-handed, which matters in the narrow living rooms of older Hillcrest and University Heights homes where there is nowhere to set a panel down. If you are in a downtown or Little Italy tower, tell me the building when you text — service elevator bookings are the thing most likely to move the appointment.
Send a photo of the spot. I'll confirm $179.
If the photo shows something that changes the price, you'll know before I drive out — not after.
