Westchase TV mounting is flat-rate: $129 up to 54", $159 for 55-69", $209 for 70-79", $299 for 80-99", $399 for 100-inch and up. Cable concealment is $99 per TV, brick or stone adds $99. Same-day slots when booked before noon, and the installer usually arrives within 2-4 hours of your confirmation.
Westchase is a 1990s-2000s master-planned community in northwest Hillsborough County, home to 25,952 residents in 2020, and it was built to a pattern: block-frame two-story homes in a Florida traditional style, plus townhomes, from West Park Village and the Greens to Radcliffe, Woodbridge and the streets along the Westchase golf course. Downstairs outside walls are concrete block behind furring and drywall, upstairs is wood stud, and 10-foot ceilings are common. The installer we dispatch carries a hammer drill and 1/4-inch Tapcons for block, 5/16-inch lag bolts for framing and a fish tape for the builder's prewire, and puts every TV on a surge protector, since lightning is the Westchase hazard. CDD and HOA rules cover exteriors, not your living room. A Westchase TV booked before noon goes up the same day.

A Westchase two-story is block-frame, and drywall covers all of it, so the walls look identical on the first walk-through. They are not. Downstairs, the outside walls are concrete block behind furring strips. Upstairs, and on every interior partition, the walls are wood stud. One quick tell, with the breaker off, is to pull the cover plate off the nearest outlet: a box nailed to the side of a 2x4 means frame, and a shallow box set into the block or fastened to a furring strip means CBS. A 3/16-inch test hole behind the bracket footprint confirms it. On block, a hammer drill and 1/4-by-3-1/4-inch Tapcons cross the drywall and the 3/4-inch gap and seat in solid block, four of them on a 65-inch panel, and the +$99 masonry surcharge applies. On frame, 5/16-inch lag bolts go into two studs at no surcharge. The frame walls also take the easy concealment, $99 per TV through an open stud bay with a recessed power kit. The installer tells you which wall you have before the price is final. Either wall takes 50-75 minutes.
Ten-foot ceilings are common in Westchase, and a tall wall changes how a TV looks, not where your eyes are. Seated eye height on a sofa is about 40 inches whatever the ceiling does. So the installer sets screen center from the seat, near 42 inches for most sofas, and spends the extra height on proportion instead: a larger screen, or room above it for art. Where the family room opens to the kitchen, people ask for a TV high enough to watch over the island. A few degrees of downward tilt, or a full-motion arm that turns the screen toward the kitchen when needed, handles that without putting the sofa's viewers to work. Tape goes on the wall first, the full outline of the screen, and you sit down and look before anything is drilled. Tall walls also leave the builder's outlet far below the bracket, so concealment is a longer drop: $99 per TV through a stud bay with the power kit, while on block the HDMI goes down the furring channel and the power cord takes a raceway. A 10-foot wall adds a taller ladder and about 15 minutes.
Westchase went up across the 1990s and 2000s, and the builder prewire behind the TV wall changed over that span. Earlier houses often have a coax plate and a phone or Cat5 jack at outlet height, run back to a panel in a closet or the garage, which helps less than it sounds: an HDMI cable cannot be pulled through a run that was stapled to the studs. Later houses sometimes have the better version, a low-voltage ring at TV height and a flexible conduit inside the wall down to a box near the floor. The installer finds out which by pulling the plates and pushing a fish tape into the run. If it slides freely, it is conduit, and concealment is a quick pull at the $99 in-wall rate. If it stops a few inches in, it is stapled cable, and the installer uses the old box location as the bottom of a fresh drop through a stud bay, or on the furred block downstairs runs the HDMI down the furring channel. The old coax can still feed a cable box. Nothing the builder left gets cut without asking first.
In a West Park Village townhome the best TV wall is sometimes the one shared with the neighbor. That wall exists to separate two homes, and it can be block or a framed fire-rated assembly, so the installer does not guess. A knock and a 3/16-inch test hole settle it. On block, the bracket goes up on 1/4-inch Tapcons with the hammer drill running only a few minutes in total, each hole stopping well inside your half of the wall, and the +$99 masonry surcharge applies. On a framed party wall, lag bolts go into the studs on your side only. Concealment usually moves to another wall either way, since cutting openings into a fire-rated assembly calls for rated boxes, not a standard power kit. A courtesy knock on the neighbor's door before the drilling starts goes a long way. Upstairs, a West Park Village townhome is wood stud like the houses, so bedroom TVs go up on lag bolts at 42-50 inches to center. Townhome stairs can be tight, so an 85-inch box is a two-person carry. Townhome installs run 50-80 minutes depending on the wall.
Westchase has two layers of rules, and neither reaches your living room. The CDD is a community development district, a special district that finances and maintains shared infrastructure such as roads, ponds and common landscaping. The HOA and its architectural review handle what the neighbors see: stucco and paint colors, fences, roofs and anything changed on the outside of a house. An interior TV mount answers to neither, so a family-room or bedroom install needs no application. Exterior work is different. A bracket or a cable run on the outside of the house, or anything visible from the street, is exactly the kind of change architectural review exists for, so the installer will ask whether it has been approved before drilling. Townhome associations in West Park Village can add their own rules about shared walls and work hours, and those are worth a look before booking. None of it changes the price, since the flat rate by screen size is the same either way, and any paperwork stays with the owner. Questions about a specific rule go to the association. The installer's part is to stay inside it.
The Westchase golf course empties fast when a summer storm builds, for good reason: Florida gets more lightning than any other state. A surge can reach a TV three ways, through the power line, through the cable or fiber line, and through a spike that a nearby strike induces in the house wiring. Protection works best in layers. A whole-house surge protector at the electrical panel takes the big hit first, and that is a job for an electrician, worth asking about if the house does not have one. A plug-in surge protector at the TV handles what gets past it, and that layer the installer sets up: the TV, the soundbar and the streaming box on one unit, and the outlet checked for a working ground before anything is plugged in. Homes built in the 1990s and 2000s have grounded outlets as a rule, so the check is usually quick. The router and modem belong on protection too, since a surge through the network can reach the TV over HDMI from a game console. Surge setup takes about 10 minutes of the visit.
A whole-house Westchase job can mean four screens: the family room, a bonus room upstairs if the plan has one, the primary bedroom and a second bedroom. The installer plans the order before unloading. Block goes first while the hammer drill is out, so the family-room TV on the furred block downstairs gets its 1/4-inch Tapcons and the +$99 masonry surcharge. Then everything upstairs, all wood stud: 5/16-inch lag bolts, two studs per bracket, bedroom screens at 42-50 inches to center, a bonus-room TV at whatever height its seating needs. Concealment on the upstairs frame walls is a short drop, $99 per TV with the power kit. Each TV is priced by its own size band, with no travel fee, each bracket is matched to its TV's VESA pattern, and every one gets the same setup: WiFi, picture modes, the soundbar where there is one, the surge protector. To keep the day moving, clear each room's wall before the visit and leave each box in the room it belongs to. Four TVs take most of an afternoon, 3-4 hours, and a job that size is scheduled within 48 hours of booking.
Westchase was planned and built through the 1990s and 2000s, and the walls show it: block-frame two-story homes in the Florida traditional style and townhomes, from West Park Village and the Greens to Radcliffe, Woodbridge and the Linebaugh corridor. Downstairs outside walls are concrete block behind furring strips. Upstairs and every interior partition is wood stud. Drywall covers all of it, so the installer confirms each wall with a test hole.
Ten-foot ceilings are common here, and they tempt people to mount high. The installer sets height from the seat instead and spends the tall wall on a bigger screen. Builder prewire varies by year, from coax plates to real conduit, and gets tested with a fish tape before anyone counts on it.
The CDD and the HOA’s architectural review cover exteriors, so an interior mount needs no approval. Lightning is the local hazard, and every Westchase TV goes on a surge protector.
The Westchase rates are flat and go by screen size: $129 covers up to 54”, $159 covers 55-69”, $209 covers 70-79”, $299 covers 80-99” and $399 covers 100” and up. Each TV with cables concealed in the wall adds $99. A surface raceway, painted to the wall, adds $79 instead. Expect the published +$99 masonry surcharge when the bracket lands on brick, stone or concrete, and nothing extra on plaster, drywall and metal stud. A Westchase home meets the surcharge only on the block of its ground-floor outside walls, and on a townhome’s block party wall when the TV goes there. Upstairs rooms and interior partitions stay at the base rate. Brackets are extra unless you supply one: flat $49 or $69, full-motion $59 or $79. Soundbar install is $79, and nothing is added for travel within Westchase.
Alex Crabinsky started Express Mounting in Atlanta in 2015. The 9,747+ documented installs since then are the reason the Westchase process looks the way it does. Westchase jobs go to vetted Hillsborough County installers, who carry the same hardware, follow the same install checklist, and work under the 3-year workmanship warranty Express Mounting holds. Block on the ground floor, studs above and a party wall to test in West Park Village: the installer who comes to Westchase reads all three before choosing an anchor.
