TV Dismount or Remount
Taking a TV down sounds like the easy half and is where most of the damage happens. I take the weight properly, get the bracket off without tearing the wall open, and patch the holes if it isn't going back in the same place.
No deposit. Pay when it's done. Or call John on (619) 928-6500.
What's included
- TV taken down safely with the weight controlled the whole way
- Bracket removed and kept with its hardware, bagged and labelled
- Screw holes filled and sanded flush, ready for your paint
- Cables disconnected, coiled and labelled so reconnection isn't a puzzle
- Remount on the new wall if that's the job, including stud finding and levelling
- Everything tested if it's going back up
What I'll need from you
- Somewhere safe to set the TV down — a bed or a carpeted floor is ideal
- Whether it's coming down for good or going back up somewhere else
- The original bracket hardware if you still have it
- How long it takes
- About 45 minutes to take down, 90 minutes for a move and remount.

Whoever did this last was in a hurry. I won't be.
Will there be holes in my wall?
There already are — four of them, behind the bracket. I fill and sand them flush so you only need to touch up the paint. I don't paint, because matching a wall colour from a photo is a fool's errand.
Can you move it to a different room?
Yes. That's the dismount and the remount together, and it's cheaper booked as one visit than as two.

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.
TV dismount and remount in San Diego
San Diego moves a lot — military rotations, university turnover, and a rental market that pushes people across the county every couple of years. That makes TV dismount and remount one of the steadier things I do, and it is almost always booked for the wrong half. People worry about getting the screen back up in the new place; the damage happens coming down, when a panel is taken off a bracket by two people who have not agreed which of them has the weight.
For a rental it is also a deposit question. Four holes and a bracket left in a wall is a line item on a move-out inspection, and filling and sanding them flush costs a fraction of what it gets deducted at. I take the TV down, get the bracket off without tearing the plaster or paper, fill the holes ready for your touch-up paint, and label the cables so putting it back together at the other end is not a puzzle.
Send a photo of the spot. I'll confirm $79.
If the photo shows something that changes the price, you'll know before I drive out — not after.
