Pricing

Pricing
What is included, and what costs extra?
Included: finding studs, leveling, mounting and tidying cables on the surface. Extra: in-wall cable kits, mounting over a fireplace, masonry walls, and mounts you need us to buy.
What wall types can you mount on?
- Drywall over wood studs: the standard; heavy TVs go into studs.
- Plaster and lath: common in older DC, Baltimore and Annapolis homes; drilled carefully to avoid cracking.
- Brick and concrete: masonry anchors and more time.
- Metal studs: special toggles.
What can you mount?
TVs, floating shelves, mirrors, curtain rods and blinds, wall cabinets, bike hooks, art and gallery walls.
What furniture do you assemble?
Flat-pack beds, dressers, desks, bookcases, wardrobes, cribs and outdoor furniture. Tall pieces get anchored to the wall to prevent tip-overs.
How long does mounting or assembly take?
A single TV on drywall is often under an hour. A large wardrobe can take several hours, so a few pieces usually fill the 2-hour minimum.
Do I need a permit to mount a TV?
No for mounting itself. Adding a new outlet behind the TV is electrical work and is a separate job.

Often yes, depending on the wall and heat. It takes longer and costs more.
Can you hide the wires?
Surface cable covers are simple. In-wall power needs electrical work quoted separately.
