Why call us
Why have a TV mounted for you?
Because a TV mount's printed rating covers the bracket, not the wall it is mounted on, and the wall is the part that gives. Lag bolts belong in wood studs. Ordinary drywall anchors are not meant for TVs; where no stud lands, toggles are the fallback. A full-motion arm pulled out from the wall levers against every bolt, so it asks far more of the wall than a flat mount carrying the same screen.
- Mount checked against VESA pattern and TV weight
- Lag bolts into studs, never plastic sleeves
- Hammer drill and masonry anchors for concrete
- Screen set at seated eye level
- HDMI and antenna cables tidied
- Power cord kept outside the wall
How it works
From the box on the floor to a level screen
1
Tell us
Send the TV model, the mount if you already bought one, and a photo of the wall; we check the VESA pattern and weight.
2
Plan, quote
We locate studs or confirm concrete, agree the height and the cable route with you, and give a written price per TV.
3
Book
We bring the bits and anchors for your wall type and, in a condo, book inside the building's working hours.
4
Mount
Bracket bolted and leveled, TV hung and locked on, cables dressed, and the tilt or arm run through its full travel.
Pick a mount
Which TV mount suits your wall and room?
A fixed mount suits a TV at eye level, a tilting mount suits one set higher, and a full-motion arm suits a corner or an open room but puts the most strain on the wall.
| Mount | How it sits | Strain on the wall | Height | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed | Flat against the wall | Lowest | Eye level | Living rooms and bedrooms |
| Tilting | Angles the screen down | Low | Above eye level | A TV over a console or dresser |
| Full-motion | Arm pulls out and swings | Highest when extended | Eye level | Corners and open-plan rooms |
Oahu walls
What does a Honolulu wall need to hold a TV?
A Honolulu wall needs something solid behind the mount: wood studs for lag bolts, masonry anchors set with a hammer drill in concrete, or a careful plan on the island's older single-wall houses. Urban Honolulu is condo country, with 48 percent of homes in buildings of 20 or more units per the Census American Community Survey, and drilling there runs under house rules the association sets under HRS 514B. Single-wall homes, built from one layer of vertical boards and still going up as late as the 1970s, have no stud cavity. The mount bolts through the board layer or into a girt, and there is no hollow wall to hide cables in.

Our word
If there is nothing solid behind the spot you picked, we tell you and show you the closest spot that works. We won't hang a TV on plastic anchors, and we won't bury a power cord in the wall to make it look neat.

Mounts and walls
One that matches the VESA hole pattern on the back of your TV and is rated for both its weight and its screen size. The pattern is printed in the manual or near the holes themselves. Weigh the TV itself before choosing, rather than guessing from the screen size.
Not on ordinary drywall anchors; toggles are the fallback when no stud lands.
Yes, with a hammer drill and masonry anchors, after you have checked the building's house rules on drilling and work hours.
At eye level from where you sit. Mounting too high is the classic mistake. If the screen has to go higher, say over a tall console, a tilting mount angles it back down toward the couch, and we mark the height with you standing in the room before any hole goes in.

Cables and safety
Not the cord itself. The electrical code, NEC 400.12, does not allow a flexible cord such as a TV's power cord to stand in for fixed wiring or to run hidden inside a wall or ceiling. The code-compliant hidden look is a recessed outlet behind the TV fed by in-wall cable from an outlet below, and that wiring is a job for an electrician. Low-voltage HDMI and antenna cable is a separate matter.
A new outlet is electrical work, so that part goes to an electrician; we mount the TV around it.
Yes. In the tip-over deaths the CPSC has counted since 2000, a TV was involved in 71 percent of the child deaths, so strap an unmounted TV and its stand to the wall. We also anchor dressers during furniture assembly.
Usually a flat price per TV, with the mount itself separate and more for concrete, a high wall or hidden low-voltage cables. The pricing page explains the rest.
