For a handyman in Long Beach to mount the TV, hang the mirror and get the shelves level, you want one number up front, and ours comes from the install board: one flat price per install, set by the install and the wall behind it.
In Long Beach the wall changes from one neighborhood to the next, so a Craftsman in Bixby Knolls and an apartment in Alamitos Beach can land in different columns.
What comes with every install
- One flat price each. The board price is the price for that install.
- Free to quote. Install days are same-week, Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
- A text within two hours. We confirm your price and your day by text, between 7am and 7pm.
- Level before we pack up. You see the bubble centered before we leave.
- A one-year workmanship warranty. If it comes loose, we come back at no charge.
Repairs we can add to a Long Beach install
Repairs are quoted in writing before we hold the day. Book one on its own, or add it to an install day.
- Drywall patch. We fill and texture old mount holes, anchor holes and the dent where a handle hit the wall. Our page on drywall repair covers it, and plaster patches are quoted the same way.
- Door repair. For door repair, we rehang a door that catches on the frame or swings shut by itself and line up the latch.
- Screens. We do window screen repair, door screen replacement and sliding door screen replacement, along with window screen replacement.
- Caulking, faucets and fans. We can run a new bead around the shower, swap a faucet for the same type and hang a ceiling fan on a box that can carry it.
Walls from Bixby Knolls to Downtown
- Plaster. The Craftsman and Spanish houses in Bixby Knolls usually have plaster over lath.
- Drywall. You will find it in the apartment buildings in Alamitos Beach and in any older house that has been remodeled.
- Brick or concrete. This is the fireplace wall in a Spanish house, and some of the Downtown buildings have concrete walls.
- Metal studs. Some of the newer apartment buildings Downtown are framed this way.
The install board has a column for each of these, so you can see how yours is priced. North Long Beach has the same board, and if you are not sure which wall you have, say so and we price for each one it might be, then settle it at the door.
Moving in near Second Street
If you have just got the keys to an apartment near Second Street or a house in Bixby Knolls, we book the whole place as one install day.
- One total by text. The board prices for each piece are added up, and that number is confirmed before we hold the day.
- One visit for the whole place. Five or six installs fit in one morning, so the TV, mirrors, shelves and rods can go up in one visit, and you choose the order.
- Shared walls. In an apartment building we keep the drilling to the middle of a weekday morning.
- Landlords. If you own a unit in Alamitos Beach and want the mount, the mirror and the rods in before the next tenant arrives, we book it the same way and the written total goes to you.
- Across the freeways. North Long Beach and the streets along the 405 and 710 freeways are on the same install days as the shore.
TV mounting in Long Beach, and the rest of the board
- The TV. We do TV mounting in Long Beach on plaster, drywall, brick and metal studs, from a big screen over a Spanish fireplace to a small one in a Downtown studio. The bracket for each wall is on our TV mounting page.
- Shelves in a small place. Floating shelves put a studio's books and plants on the wall and leave the floor clear.
- Mirrors and picture hanging. We hang a heavy mirror in a Craftsman hallway or a gallery wall in an apartment, priced as picture and mirror hanging.
- Curtain rods. The window wall of an apartment takes a long rod, and we make sure it stays straight.
- Furniture anchored. We tie bookcases and dressers back to the studs so they stay put.
- Flat-pack furniture. We do furniture assembly for the boxes, and we anchor the tall pieces on the same visit.
What renters and landlords in Long Beach ask
Can you mount a TV in a rental?
Yes, with your landlord's okay. A mount on drywall leaves a few screw holes, and we can patch them when you move out, quoted in writing.
Can a landlord book for a tenant?
Yes. You get the written total and the text confirming the day, and you tell us who will be there to let us in.
Is plaster a problem?
No, it is just one column up from drywall. We go through it to the studs, and you still see the level on the piece before we pack up.
