Expert TV Mounting & Wire Concealment in Berkeley

Get the clean, “floating TV” look without risking damage to your home’s unique architectural character. Whether you live in a North Berkeley bungalow or a West Berkeley loft, we believe an installation isn’t complete until every cable is hidden from sight. A professional mount should look like a seamless part of your room’s design, not an afterthought with dangling cords.

Expert TV Mounting

Whether you have a standard drywall setup in a modern Downtown Berkeley condo or delicate lath-and-plaster walls in a historic Elmwood Victorian, we have the specialized anchors to mount your TV safely. We handle everything from 43-inch bedroom screens to 85-inch home theater displays on any surface, including Berkeley Hills stone fireplaces and industrial concrete

Professional Wire Concealment

Achieve the “museum” look. For standard walls, we route HDMI and power cables behind the drywall using code-compliant power bridge kits for a flawless finish. For the solid brick or concrete walls common in University Avenue lofts where cutting isn’t an option, we use sleek, paintable raceways that blend perfectly with your masonry.

Soundbar & Component Installation

Audio is half the experience. We mount soundbars directly flush with your TV for a clean, integrated aesthetic. We also install hidden brackets behind the screen for streaming devices like Apple TV, Roku, or gaming consoles, ensuring your Berkeley media center remains organized and 100% cord-free.

Professional Security Camera & Smart Lock Installation in Berkeley

In a vibrant urban environment like Berkeley, a DIY security setup often falls short. Cameras mounted too low are easily tampered with, while those mounted too high miss the critical facial details needed for identification. We provide professional-grade installation that balances high-visibility deterrence with high-resolution evidence capture, tailored specifically for East Bay properties.

Video Doorbell Installation (Ring, Nest & Arlo)

We specialize in hardwiring and setting up Ring, Google Nest, and Arlo doorbells to combat porch piracy. We don’t just mount the device; we calibrate the motion zones specifically for Berkeley’s foot traffic. This means ignoring the busy sidewalks of Telegraph Avenue or University Ave, ensuring you only receive alerts for actual visitors or deliveries—not every passing student or commuter.

Outdoor Security Camera & Floodlight Mounting

For maximum perimeter protection, placement is everything. We mount floodlight and spotlight cameras at the “Goldilocks” height—typically 9 feet.

  • Tamper-Proofing: This height keeps equipment out of reach from the street level.
  • Optimal Angles: Unlike roof-line mounts that only capture the tops of heads, our placement ensures the lens angle captures clear facial details and license plates in your driveway.
  • Secure Wiring: All cabling is shielded or routed internally to prevent line-cutting, a must for homes in South Berkeley or the Poets Corner area.v

Smart Lock & Keyless Entry Installation

Upgrade your home’s “front line” with high-security smart locks from August, Schlage, or Yale. We ensure a perfect physical retrofit—which is critical for the heavy, solid-wood doors found in historic Northbrae and Elmwood craftsman homes. We also handle the software integration, syncing the lock to your smartphone so you can grant access to dog walkers or service providers remotely while you’re at the office or on campus.

Custom Media Walls & Home Theater Installation in Berkeley

From custom acoustic slat walls to Dolby Atmos surround sound, we build entertainment centers that look as good as they sound. In Berkeley, where architectural charm meets modern living, a custom media wall does double duty: it creates a stunning focal point for your home while hiding all the clutter of a modern entertainment system. Whether you are upgrading a basement in the Berkeley Hills or maximizing a living room in an Elmwood bungalow, we bring the cinema to you.

Custom Media Wall Installation & Design

Make your living room the best part of your house with a custom media wall. These walls turn a plain room into a high-end home theater. Whether you have a modern loft in West Berkeley or a classic home in Northbrae, we can build a look you will love.

  • Modern Wood Slat Walls: We install beautiful wood panels that add texture and actually help make your TV sound better by reducing echoes in the room.
  • Built-In Electric Fireplaces: We can add a sleek electric fireplace right under your TV. It stays cool to the touch and makes your living room feel warm and cozy at the press of a button.
  • Floating Shelves & Cabinets: We mount shelves that “float” on the wall to hold your gaming consoles or cable boxes. This keeps your floor clear and makes the whole room look organized.
  • Hidden Wires & Cables: You won’t see a single messy cord. We hide all the power and HDMI cables inside the wall so your new media center looks clean and professional.

Home Theater & Surround Sound Installation

Turn your living room into a private movie theater. We help you get that big, cinematic sound without the mess of bulky speakers and tangled wires. From the Claremont district to Thousand Oaks, we help families build the ultimate setup for movie nights and the big game.

  • In-Wall & In-Ceiling Speakers: We hide your speakers inside the walls or ceiling. This gives you amazing sound that fills the room while keeping your home looking clean and modern.
  • Acoustic Calibration: We don’t just plug in the speakers. We test the audio in every part of the room to ensure the sound is balanced so you can hear every word clearly.
  • Outdoor & Whole-Home Audio: Want music on the patio for a summer BBQ or in the kitchen? We can set up speakers that work together so your favorite music follows you from room to room.
  • Easy to Use: We make it simple. We can set up your system so you only need one remote to control the sound, the TV, and your streaming apps.

Soundbar Mounting & Media Shelf Setup

Get the best sound possible without the clutter. We mount your soundbar and media shelves to give your room a clean, finished look. Whether you’re in a cozy Grand Lake apartment or a big home in the Berkeley Hills, we make sure your gear is secure and easy to use.

  • Perfectly Leveled Mounting: We mount your soundbar directly under your TV. We make sure it is perfectly centered and level so your whole setup looks like one sleek unit.
  • Sturdy Media Shelves: Need a place for your PlayStation, Xbox, or Apple TV? We install strong floating shelves that can hold your devices safely while saving space on the floor.
  • Clean Wire Management: No more “spaghetti” wires hanging down your wall. We tuck all the power cords and audio cables away so you only see the tech you love.
  • Works with Every Brand: Whether you have a high-end Sonos system, a Samsung bar, or a custom audio setup, we know the right brackets and tools to get it on the wall safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I pay to mount my TV in Berkeley?

In the Berkeley area, professional TV mounting typically ranges from $129 to $399. The final price depends on the size of the TV and the wall surface. Mounting on standard drywall in a West Berkeley loft is generally less expensive than drilling into a stone fireplace in the Berkeley Hills or handling the fragile lath-and-plaster found in Northbrae and Elmwood.

How much does it cost to have a 65-inch TV mounted?

For a standard 65-inch TV on drywall, expect to pay around $150–$250 for a professional install. If you opt for professional wire concealment (routing cables behind the wall) or have a specialized surface like brick or concrete, the cost may increase slightly to cover the specialized anchors and extra labor.

Do I need an electrician to wall mount a TV?

Not necessarily, but it’s a smart move for a clean finish! While a general handyman can hang a bracket, they cannot legally move power outlets. If you want your TV to plug in directly behind the screen so no cords are visible, you need a professional familiar with electrical codes. Our technicians install code-compliant in-wall power bridges to achieve that "floating" look safely and legally.

How much does it cost to have a security camera system installed?

For a professional installation of a 3-4 camera system (like Ring, Nest, or a wired PoE system), labor costs in Berkeley typically range from $400 to $1,200. This varies based on the complexity of the run—such as fishing wires through a crawlspace in a Claremont estate versus mounting wireless solar units on a Southside apartment balcony.

Can I mount a TV on a wall with metal studs?

Yes. Many modern high-rise apartments and mixed-use buildings in Downtown Berkeley use metal studs for fire safety. You cannot use standard wood lag bolts for these. We use specialized heavy-duty toggle anchors (like Snaptoggles) that can hold up to 200 lbs on metal studs, ensuring your TV is 100% secure.

Can I mount a TV on a wall with metal studs?

If you are renting an apartment near Lake Merritt or Jack London Square, we use a "minimal impact" strategy. We drill small, precise holes into the studs. When you move out, these can be easily patched with a tiny bit of spackle. It is much safer for the wall than using cheap "no-stud" hangers that can tear a large hole in the drywall.

Is TV mounting safe for Berkeley renters?

If you are renting near UC Berkeley or Telegraph Avenue, we use a "minimal impact" strategy. We drill small, precise holes into the studs that can be easily patched with a tiny bit of spackle when you move out. This is significantly safer for your security deposit than using "no-stud" hangers that can tear large chunks of drywall.

How much does an electrician charge to install security cameras?

Licensed electricians in Alameda County often charge $150–$250 per hour. While they are excellent for high-voltage wiring, they may not specialize in the low-voltage calibration and app integration needed for smart cameras. We provide both the mounting expertise and the software configuration for a flat project rate, usually saving you money.

Does Geek Squad install security cameras in Berkeley?

Yes, but they primarily focus on "out of the box" wireless setups. If your installation requires custom drilling into a historic Victorian facade or fishing wires through the finished ceiling of a multi-story Berkeley Hills home, they may decline the job. We specialize in these complex, custom East Bay installs.

Is it better to have wired or wireless security cameras?

In dense areas of Berkeley, wired (PoE) cameras are superior because they are immune to Wi-Fi jamming and signal interference. However, for renters or historic homes where drilling is restricted, modern wireless cameras with solar panels are a fantastic, flexible alternative. We install and optimize both.
