Mounting a TV looks simple until you are holding a 65-inch screen against the wall, wondering whether that anchor will really hold it. In the Valley the walls make it harder: newer drywall over wood studs is the easy case, but plenty of homes in Burbank, Glendale and the older Valley neighborhoods have lath-and-plaster walls, stucco or brick, where a stud finder guesses and a wrong hole means a repair.
That is where a skilled pro earns their visit. Your handyman locates the studs or picks the right anchors for the wall you actually have, checks the mount against the weight and size of your TV, and sets it at the right height for the room. Cables disappear into a raceway or, where the wall allows it, behind the drywall, so the result looks built-in instead of bolted on.
It is not just TVs. The same visit can take care of the pictures and gallery wall you have been postponing, a heavy mirror above the dresser, floating shelves in the kitchen or office, and curtain rods that stay straight and stay up.
Valley Fixers is a free matching and coordination service. We do not do the work ourselves; we check the job, match you with a vetted local handyman who does this every week, and stay your point of contact until everything hangs the way it should. For most mounting and hanging jobs that means one pro, one visit, done.
What the licensed contractors in our network can do for you
TV wall mounting
Fixed, tilting or full-motion mounts for any common TV size. Your handyman anchors the mount into studs or solid masonry, checks it against the weight of your TV, and levels the screen at a comfortable viewing height for the room.
TV above the fireplace
A popular spot and a tricky one: heat, height and often brick or stone. The pro we match you with picks the right anchors for the material, uses a mount that brings the screen to a watchable angle, and tells you honestly if your fireplace wall is not a good idea for your TV.
Hiding cables
Power and HDMI cables ruin the clean look fast. Your handyman conceals them in a low-profile raceway painted to match the wall or, where the wall construction allows, routes the low-voltage cables inside the wall. If a new power outlet is needed behind the TV, we match you with a pro qualified for that part of the job.
Soundbars and speakers
A soundbar mounted flush under the TV, or surround speakers placed and wired where they belong. Done in the same visit as the TV, so the whole setup is finished at once.
Pictures, art and gallery walls
From a single frame to a full gallery wall laid out with even spacing and straight lines. The right hook or anchor for each piece, so nothing shifts or falls the first time a door slams.
Mirrors, heavy and light
Large mirrors are heavier than they look and unforgiving when they fall. Your handyman uses rated anchors and, for heavy pieces, a french cleat or direct-to-stud fastening, so the mirror stays exactly where it was hung.
Floating shelves and wall shelving
Shelves that are level, anchored for real-world loads and lined up as a set. Books, plants and kitchen gear need more holding power than the box hardware suggests, and your pro plans for that.
Curtain rods and blinds
Rods and blinds mounted straight, at the right height, with anchors that survive daily opening and closing. Including tricky spots like concrete headers above sliding doors.
Older walls: plaster, stucco and brick
Many Valley, Burbank and Glendale homes predate modern drywall. Your handyman knows how to find studs behind lath and plaster, when to switch to toggle or masonry anchors, and how to mount into stucco or brick without cracking it.
Take-down and remounting
Moving, painting or upgrading to a bigger screen? The old TV or mirror comes down cleanly, holes are patched on request, and everything goes back up in the new spot.
Does this sound familiar?
Most people who reach out have been staring at the same unhung TV or mirror for weeks. Sound familiar?
- The TV has been sitting in its box since the day it was delivered.
- You drilled a hole, hit nothing solid, and now there is a hole and still no TV on the wall.
- Your stud finder gives a different answer every pass, and you suspect the wall is plaster.
- The mirror is too heavy to trust the hooks that came with it, and too expensive to gamble with.
- You want the TV above the fireplace but have no idea what is safe to drill into brick or stone.
- Cables dangling under a mounted TV are exactly the look you were trying to avoid.
- The last person you hired left the TV slightly crooked, and it bothers you every single evening.
- You could probably do it yourself, but one free Saturday is worth more than the experiment.
How we solve it
One request, one vetted pro, one visit. Here is how we keep a small job simple:
- Describe the job in a few sentences or photos, and we check what it needs: wall type, TV size, mount, cables.
- We match you with a skilled, vetted local handyman who does mounting and hanging work every week, not once a year.
- You get clear upfront price ranges before anyone comes out, so there is no negotiating in your living room.
- Most jobs are scheduled fast, often same day or next day, and finished in a single visit.
- The pro brings the right anchors and hardware for drywall, plaster, stucco or brick, not just whatever came in the box.
- Work area left clean: dust vacuumed, packaging gone if you want it gone, old holes patched on request.
- We follow up after the visit and stay your point of contact until you are happy with how everything hangs.
Why choose Valley Fixers
Secure on any Valley wall
Drywall over studs, lath and plaster, stucco over sheathing, brick around a fireplace: each takes different anchors and a different technique. The pro we match you with mounts on the wall you have, not the wall the instructions assume.
A clean, built-in look
Level screen, the right height for the seating, cables out of sight. The difference between a TV that is on the wall and a TV that looks like it belongs there.
One visit, several jobs
Once your handyman is there, the mirror, the shelves and the curtain rods can go up in the same visit. Bundling small jobs is the cheapest way to get them all done.
No risk to your TV or your wall
A dropped TV or a cracked stucco wall costs far more than having it mounted properly. Rated anchors, verified studs and careful drilling protect both.
Vetted, not random
You are not picking a stranger from a marketplace and hoping. We check the pros in our network before you ever meet them, and we hear back from you after every job.
How we work
1
Tell us about the job
Call us, request a callback or fill in the short form. Describe what needs to be done, snap a photo if that is easier, and we respond within 24 hours. A whole to-do list at once is welcome, that is usually the best value.
2
Get a clear price upfront
You see the typical price range for your job right away, and the pro we match you with confirms one fixed price before any work starts. No surprises when the job is done, the agreed number is the number.
3
Matched with the right vetted pro
Small jobs go to a skilled local handyman from our network. Bigger work, or anything that needs a permit, goes to a CSLB-licensed contractor. We check reviews, experience and past work, so you do not have to.
4
Job done and checked
Your pro shows up on time, most jobs are finished in a single visit, and you check the result together before you pay. We stay your point of contact until everything on the list is crossed off, backed by a workmanship guarantee from your pro.
Materials and finishes
The hardware matters as much as the hands. These are the choices your handyman walks you through, in plain language:
Fixed, tilting or full-motion mounts
Fixed sits flattest against the wall, tilting helps when the TV hangs higher (like above a fireplace), and full-motion swings toward the couch or kitchen. The right choice depends on the room, and your pro will tell you if the mount you bought is not rated for your TV.
Anchors rated for the load
Toggle bolts, sleeve anchors, masonry anchors or direct-to-stud lag bolts: each has a job. The plastic plugs that come in the box are for picture frames, not for a 70-inch screen or a full-length mirror.
Cable raceways and in-wall kits
A slim raceway painted to match the wall is the quick, damage-free option. An in-wall kit routes low-voltage cables behind the drywall for a fully invisible result where the construction allows it.
French cleats for heavy pieces
For heavy mirrors and large art, a french cleat spreads the weight across the wall and locks the piece in place. It is the difference between hanging something and installing it.
Stud finding on older walls
On lath and plaster, consumer stud finders often misread. Pros use a combination of magnets, small test points and experience with how Valley homes were framed to fasten into solid wood, not luck.
What does TV mounting & hanging cost?
What you pay depends on the job, not on how the conversation goes at your door. A straightforward TV mount on drywall is quicker than a full-motion mount on a brick fireplace with in-wall cable concealment, and a single mirror is a smaller visit than a gallery wall plus shelves. That is why we work with clear upfront price ranges instead of vague quotes.
You can see those ranges on our handyman prices page before you send anything in. Describe your job, and you get a concrete range up front, based on the wall type, the size and weight of what is being hung, the mount or hardware needed, and how the cables should be handled. Bundling several small jobs into one visit is almost always the best value.
Want to know where your job lands? Check the price ranges on our pricing page or call (747) 774-7310. You will hear from us within 24 hours, with no obligation.
These factors determine the price:
- The size and weight of the TV, mirror or shelving being mounted
- The wall type: drywall, lath and plaster, stucco, brick or stone
- The mount type: fixed, tilting or full-motion
- Mounting above a fireplace versus on a standard wall
- How cables are handled: visible, in a raceway or routed in-wall
- Whether a new power outlet is needed behind the TV
- The number of pieces going up in the same visit
- Take-down of an old TV or mirror and patching of previous holes

How long does it take?
Most TV mounting and hanging jobs are finished in a single visit of one to a few hours. A standard TV mount on drywall is on the shorter end; a fireplace mount with in-wall cable routing or a large gallery wall takes longer but still rarely needs a second visit.
Scheduling is fast. Describe the job today and in many cases your handyman can come out the same day or the next, depending on availability in your part of the Valley, Burbank or Glendale. When you send in your request, we confirm the time window and what the pro will bring, so the visit itself has no surprises.
The only common reason for a second visit is missing parts: a mount that turns out not to fit the TV, or an in-wall kit that still needs to be ordered. We check exactly this when you describe the job, so it is caught before the visit instead of during it.

Frequently asked questions about TV mounting & hanging
Who actually mounts my TV?
A skilled, vetted local handyman from our network. Valley Fixers is a free matching and coordination service, not a contractor: we check your job, match you with the right pro and stay your point of contact until it is done. Small jobs like TV mounting and hanging fall under California's exemption for minor work, so a handyman may legally do them. If your job grows into something bigger or needs a permit, such as new electrical work, we match you with a CSLB-licensed contractor from our vetted network instead.
What does TV mounting cost?
It depends on the wall, the TV size, the mount and how you want the cables handled, so we work with clear upfront price ranges instead of a number invented at your door. You can see the ranges on our handyman prices page, and when you describe your job you get a concrete range before anyone comes out. No dollar guessing, no surprises after the fact.
Can a TV be mounted above a fireplace?
Usually, yes. Brick, stone and heat need the right anchors, and the extra height usually calls for a tilting or full-motion mount so you are not staring straight up. Your handyman also checks how hot the wall gets above the firebox; if your fireplace makes it a bad spot for the TV, you will hear that honestly, along with a better alternative.
Can the cables be hidden completely?
Often, yes. Where the wall construction allows it, low-voltage cables like HDMI can be routed inside the wall for a fully invisible result. Where in-wall routing is not possible or not allowed, a slim raceway painted to match the wall comes close. If you want a new power outlet directly behind the TV, that is electrical work, and we match you with a pro who is qualified to do it properly.
My house has plaster or stucco walls. Is that a problem?
No, but it changes the approach. Many older homes in the Valley, Burbank and Glendale have lath-and-plaster interiors or stucco exteriors where consumer stud finders misread and standard anchors fail. The pros we match you with work on these walls all the time: they locate real studs, switch to toggle or masonry anchors where needed, and drill in a way that does not crack the surface.
Do I need to buy the mount and hardware myself?
Either way works. If you already have a mount, your handyman checks that it is rated for your TV's size and weight before drilling. If you do not, tell us the TV model and where it is going, and the pro brings a suitable mount and the right anchors for your wall. That gets confirmed when you describe the job, so nothing is missing on the day itself.
How fast can it be done, and how long does it take?
Most jobs are finished in a single visit of one to a few hours, and scheduling is quick: often same day or next day, depending on availability in your area. Describe the job with a few photos and you get a time window right away.
What size TVs can be mounted?
Any common size, from a small bedroom screen to 85 inches and up. Bigger screens mainly change the hardware: heavier-duty mounts, more fasteners into more studs, and two people to lift safely. That is planned when you describe the job, not improvised on a ladder.
Can heavy mirrors really hang safely on drywall?
Yes, with the right method. Heavy mirrors go onto studs where possible, or onto rated toggle anchors or a french cleat that spreads the load across the wall. The hooks and wire that come with most mirrors are the weakest link, and your handyman will replace them if they are not up to the weight.
Can several small jobs be combined into one visit?
Please do. One visit for the TV, the mirror, a set of shelves and two curtain rods is the most cost-effective way to clear the whole list. Mention everything when you describe the job, so your handyman comes with the hardware for all of it and enough time reserved.
What if my wall gets damaged, or the old holes look bad?
Careful drilling and the right anchors prevent nearly all damage, and small patch-and-touch-up work is exactly the kind of job these pros do daily. Old holes from a previous mount or a failed DIY attempt can be patched during the same visit; just mention it when you describe the job.
What happens after I send in a request?
You hear from us within 24 hours, usually much sooner. We confirm the details, give you a clear price range and match you with a vetted local pro who can come out fast, often the same day. Prefer to talk it through first? Call (747) 774-7310.
