Field notes from West Hollywood installs
West Hollywood is about as dense an apartment market as the region has. The Sunset Strip, Norma Triangle, West Hollywood West, and Boys Town are built out with 1920s and 1930s Spanish and Art Deco buildings, most of them rent-controlled, with lath-and-plaster interior walls throughout. Your installer treats these as historic-care jobs and as tenant jobs at the same time: low-speed piloting, dust containment, anchors into the studs behind the lath and plaster, and landlord approval confirmed before any drilling.
The newer condos scattered through West Hollywood are wood-frame stucco or drywall over framing, which take a standard 5/16-inch lag into the stud and allow clean in-wall wiring. The pre-war apartments do not, so cables ride a surface raceway instead of cut plaster.
Many of the older buildings are soft-story structures that have been through earthquake retrofits, and every bracket goes up with the lag seated in framing. For renters, we keep paintable raceways and reversible bracket options on the truck and document every hole.
TV mounting prices in West Hollywood
West Hollywood TV mounting starts at $129 (basic up to 54”), $159 (large 55-69”), $209 (XL 70-79”), $299 (XXL 80-99-inch), $399 (XXXL 100-inch+). Cable concealment $99/TV. Condo drywall and wood-frame units run at standard pricing; the 1920s and 1930s rent-controlled lath-and-plaster apartments carry no surcharge either. Renters often have a bracket already, and that is fine, since the mount is always separate from these labor rates; we can also sell you one.
