TV mounting and furniture assembly in Menlo Park

Mounting TVs and shelves in Menlo Park rentals

Renters occupy 45.8% of Menlo Park's occupied homes, and 27.8% of housing units are in buildings with five or more units. If you rent, get the landlord's okay before anything is drilled, and in a condo, check the HOA rules for shared walls. Some leases allow small anchors but not a heavy TV bracket, so it's worth asking with the TV's weight in hand.

In older houses, like the 1925 bungalows of Allied Arts/Stanford Park, the bracket goes through plaster into studs, with anchors made for plaster where needed. At move-out, the same crew can fill and paint the holes. Running power to the TV spot is electrical work for our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc.
