Field notes from Point Loma installs
Point Loma asks two questions before a truck loads: how old, and how exposed. In the Wooded Area the answer is usually 1920s or 1930s, Spanish revival and Craftsman houses with lath-and-plaster walls and trim worth working around. Those jobs are slow on purpose. Roseville-Fleetridge and the surrounding post-war blocks are the opposite, mid-century ranch homes with drywall over wood stud and framing that a magnet confirms in under a minute.
Liberty Station gets its own approach. The converted Navy buildings on that campus hide masonry and concrete behind ordinary-looking finishes, so hardware follows a test bore rather than an assumption.
Exposure decides the rest. The Sunset Cliffs edge and the harbor side of Point Loma both carry salt air, so patio hardware is 316 stainless and screens go under cover. Seismic anchoring runs through every job: structural load into wood stud or solid masonry, rated toggles used only where a bracket corner lands off-stud.
TV mounting prices in Point Loma
Point Loma TV mounting starts at $129 (basic up to 54”), $159 (large 55-69”), $209 (XL 70-79”), $255 (XXL 80-inch+). Cable concealment $95/TV. Brick hearth faces and the solid masonry walls at Liberty Station add +$99, original lath-and-plaster nothing. Standard wood-frame stucco with drywall over wood stud, which covers most of Roseville-Fleetridge and the newer Point Loma stock, carries no surcharge.
