Santa Monica TV Mounting — Get That Screen on the Wall Today
Professional Installation for Every Santa Monica Zip Code
You bought the TV. It's been sitting on the floor, on a temporary stand, or still in the box for two weeks. Or it's on a piece of furniture that wasn't meant to hold a 65" screen and you're nervous every time someone walks past it. Santa Monica apartments and condos don't have unlimited floor space — getting the TV on the wall reclaims the room and makes it look finished.
We mount TVs throughout Santa Monica (90401, 90403, 90404, 90405) with same-day availability. Ocean Avenue high-rises, Wilshire-Montana bungalows, Pico neighborhood apartments, Ocean Park condos — we've mounted in all of them.
Santa Monica TV Mounting Specifics
Santa Monica presents a few mounting challenges that are specific to the area. The newer condo and apartment buildings along Ocean Avenue, Colorado Avenue, and near the Expo Line stations often use metal studs behind drywall. You can't mount a heavy TV to metal studs with wood screws — you need snap-toggle anchors or other metal-stud-rated fasteners. We carry these as standard equipment for every Santa Monica job.
Older Santa Monica homes — particularly the bungalows and Spanish-style properties north of Wilshire and in Sunset Park — often have plaster walls. Plaster requires toggle bolts or molly bolts, not standard drywall anchors. And in the beach-adjacent zones of 90401 and 90405, salt air accelerates corrosion on standard hardware, so we use stainless or coated fasteners for installations in those areas.
Pricing for Santa Monica TV Mounting
Standard single-TV mounting on drywall over studs starts at our $179 Service Call tier. This covers a 32"-65" TV on a fixed or tilt mount. Larger TVs (75"+), full-motion articulating mounts, soundbar mounting, and in-wall cable concealment typically move to the $369 Home Fix tier because they require more time and hardware. A multi-TV home (living room + bedroom) also fits the $369 Home Fix tier. Text us photos of your TV, wall, and room for exact pricing.

Standard single-TV mounting in Santa Monica starts at our $179 Service Call. Larger TVs (75"+), articulating mounts, soundbar mounting, and cable concealment move to $369 Home Fix. Text photos of your TV and wall for an exact flat price.
Can you mount a TV on metal studs in Santa Monica condos?
Yes. Many newer Santa Monica buildings use metal stud construction. We use snap-toggle anchors specifically designed for metal stud mounting — not wood screws. This is standard practice for every job we do in newer Santa Monica buildings.
Do you serve all Santa Monica ZIP codes?
Yes — 90401 (downtown/Ocean Avenue), 90403 (Wilshire-Montana), 90404 (Pico/Mid-City), and 90405 (Ocean Park/Sunset Park). Same-day service is available throughout.
Can you hide the cables in the wall?
Yes, using in-wall cable management kits where code permits. For fire-rated walls (common in multi-unit buildings), we use surface-mounted raceways that can be painted to match the wall.
What about mounting a soundbar with the TV?
We handle soundbar mounting as part of the same visit — either on a bracket attached to the TV mount or separately below the TV. It typically adds to the service scope and may affect the pricing tier depending on the overall job.
