TV Mounting in Nob Hill 94108, San Francisco

Brought all necessary equipment for our pre-war building. No improvising, no trips back to the truck for different tools. Just clean work from start to finish on a wall that most people would give up on.

Lived near Huntington Park for three years. My building's rules are famously strict. These guys are the first contractor I've used who didn't cause a problem at the front desk.

Quick response, honest assessment of what the wall could handle, clean work. They told me upfront the chimney chase behind my preferred spot wasn't usable and suggested a better location two feet over. Smart call — the new spot is actually better for the room.

Booked same-day on a Thursday and they were here by noon. For a pre-war building on Leavenworth that normally takes weeks to coordinate contractor access, that felt like a miracle.

the apartment is on the fourth floor and the building elevator is tiny. they came with a plan already. unboxed the tv downstairs, used a blanket carry, no scratches, no drama. impressive logistics tbh

the wires are genuinely invisible. I don't know exactly how they did the routing through our old plaster but the result is spotless. apartment looks like the TV grew out of the wall.

Our HOA is strict. Most contractors get turned away at the lobby because they don't have the right paperwork. R8Works had everything ready before I even mentioned it. Made me look good in front of the building manager.

I have original 1920s crown molding throughout the apartment and was terrified of anything getting damaged. They took extra time to position the bracket away from any molding areas and were genuinely careful. Nothing was touched that shouldn't have been.

The final result is fantastic, no visible wires anywhere.

Honestly thought mounting a TV on a plaster wall would be a whole ordeal. The guy scanned it, told me exactly what was behind it, picked the right anchors, and it was done. Way less complicated than I expected. Will use again when I move.

Super easy to schedule. The TV looks great and the technician was really friendly.

We needed two TVs done in the same visit — one in the living room on a plaster wall and one in the bedroom where the wall is actually normal drywall from a renovation. They handled both without any fuss about switching approaches between rooms.

It is hard to find contractors who actually know how to work with wood lath and brick. The technician explained exactly why standard anchors wouldn't work and used heavy duty steel toggles instead.

realy great service. parked down in the commercial zone to avoid blocking traffic on jones street.

The technician who came was great with my co-op board's paperwork. She had the scope of work document ready without me even asking. That alone saved me a week of back and forth with my building manager. TV looks incredible on the wall.

Third time using them across two different apartments in SF. Same level of quality every time. For historic buildings in Nob Hill specifically, I wouldn't call anyone else.

Fast, clean, and perfectly level. They parked quickly in a loading zone and got straight to work.

These guys know plaster. That's really the whole review. If you live in Nob Hill and you've been told your walls 'can't take a mount,' call them first.

Solid work. The TV hasn't shifted at all.

Great experience overall. They handled the zero street parking situation quickly by unloading in a commercial zone. The TV is perfectly level.

I've rented in Nob Hill for six years and this is the first landlord-approved mount I've managed to get done properly. They work with renters, know how to minimize damage, and the patch job if needed is clean. My deposit is safe.

worth every penny. the cables are completely hidden and they cleaned up all the dust before they left.

I was really worried about the noise rules in our building on California St. The technician used a special drill bit that kept the noise down. Really impressive work.

Recommended by my neighbor three floors up. She had hers done six months ago and the mount is still perfect. Mine looks equally solid. Great word of mouth for a reason.

Fast and professional. They parked down the hill and carted the gear up without a single complaint.

i rent in a co-op near grace cathedral and mounting anything is always a whole process. these guys navigated the board requirements faster than i could have on my own. tv is up, wires are hidden, landlord hasn't complained. success.

I got a few quotes. Not the cheapest but definitely the most confident about the specific challenges of this building. That confidence was earned — they did exactly what they said and the result is exactly what I wanted.

Scheduling was straightforward and they actually showed up during the quiet hours our building requires. I've had other contractors argue about that. These ones just said 'no problem, we know Nob Hill buildings' and worked within the window. Five stars.

We just moved into a historic unit on Taylor St and the living room layout is tricky. The technician gave great advice on placement to avoid glare from the bay windows. The install was surprisingly quiet given how thick the walls are.

We have a historic unit on Sacramento Street and I was worried about damaging the original plaster molding near the wall section. The installer worked around it carefully and suggested a bracket that sits 8 inches below the molding line. Problem solved without me even asking.

I tried drilling into the wall myself and broke a bit on the brick underneath. R8Works brought a heavy duty drill and steel toggles. Definitely worth the price to have professionals handle the old plaster.

My building is one of those older ones where every wall is different. They scanned before committing to anything, which saved us from drilling into a spot that would have been a problem. smart approach for old construction.

They arrived right on time and didn't waste a minute. The toggle bolts they used are much stronger than the basic drywall anchors our last handyman tried.

Very professional from start to finish. They handled the HOA paperwork directly which saved me a massive headache.

very professional. came prepared with the building's required insurance docs, did the scan thing on the wall, picked the right spot, mounted the tv. my 85 inch is on a full-motion bracket on a wall that i was told 'couldn't support it.' it can.

i tried mounting a small tv myself in the bedroom and i couldn’t find a stud to save my life. hired them for the living room and watched them easily anchor into the brick. totally worth the price to avoid the headache.

I specifically asked about above-fireplace mounting on a brick chimney breast. Most people either say yes without understanding the problem or no without explaining why. This team explained exactly what they'd find, what they'd do, and what the result would look like. Accurate on all three counts.

Our building manager has seen a lot of contractors come through this building. He specifically mentioned that the R8Works team was unusually professional — which coming from him means something. Solid job overall.

They were very careful around our antique crown molding. The bracket is incredibly secure.

Found them searching for someone who handles plaster walls in San Francisco. They clearly know what they are doing because they brought commercial grade toggle bolts and didn't crack a thing.

third floor, no elevator, original 1920s plaster. i half expected them to turn around at the door. instead they had it figured out before i finished explaining. bracket is rock solid. wires are gone. the wall looks like nothing happened.

we love how the tv looks now. really nice team.

my place is on a corner unit with views of both California and Mason. The wall I wanted for the TV had a window right next to it and limited stud options. They found a solution that works perfectly and doesn't block either view. that took some thought.

I wasn't sure how anyone could hide the cables with horizontal fire-stops in the walls, but they traced a path behind the lath perfectly. It really looks like the display is floating.

I've been in this co-op for 14 years and always assumed mounting a TV was something you just didn't do in an old building like this. Now I have a 77-inch OLED on the wall and I'm annoyed at myself for waiting so long.

Small lift, steep stairs, old building. They handled it like they've done it a hundred times. Which I assume they have.

We just bought a historic place near Grace Cathedral and needed a heavy mirror and a TV mounted. They handled both easily.

I specifically asked them not to start drilling until I had checked with my co-op board one more time. They waited without making me feel bad about it. When the board confirmed, they started. Professional from start to finish.

Booked for a full-motion mount in the bedroom. They checked the wall depth first because full-motion brackets need more clearance. Good thing they did — it was borderline. They used a lower-profile version that works perfectly in the space.

Not cheap, but worth every dollar in a building like mine. Pre-war construction is not the same as regular drywall and not every installer gets that. These ones clearly do. The bracket hasn't moved a millimeter since install.

excellent service from start to finish! they were in and out fast and left no mess

Five stars. They delivered exactly what they promised. Punctual, equipped, and they didn't need me to explain the building's quirks — they already knew what to expect in a pre-war Nob Hill building.

Last time I hired a handyman they cracked the plaster trying to find a stud. These guys knew exactly how to handle the thick brick backing in these old Nob Hill apartments. They brought commercial rotary hammers and got it done right.

Punctual. Respectful of the quiet hour rules. Did a scan before touching the wall. Left the place cleaner than they found it. I genuinely cannot think of a complaint.

super happy with how the living room looks now. they hid all the cables behind the lath and it looks like a floating picture frame!!!!

My co-op on California Street has notoriously thick walls and the board requires documentation for any drilling. The team showed up with paperwork already prepared. They scanned the wall with some radar device before touching anything, which honestly I hadn't seen before. TV went up perfectly, wires are completely hidden. Our building manager was impressed enough to ask for their card.

This is the third time we've used R8Works. They consistently do great work and understand the challenges of older San Francisco homes.

the guy who showed up was super polite and explained the whole process. no mess left behind at all.

efficient. on time. no hidden charges. the cable routing took an extra 20 minutes because of the fire blocking in the wall and they didn't charge extra for it. appreciated that.

Our co-op board is very strict about noise. They used specialized bits and deep scanning so they didn't have to drill unnecessarily. The whole process was smooth and the technician cleaned up everything.

Had them back for a second mount in a different room. Same quality, same careful approach with the plaster. consistency matters when you're dealing with irreplaceable original walls.

They explained why they couldn't use the spot I originally wanted — there was a void behind the plaster where the chimney used to be — and moved to a structurally solid section instead. Good call. The TV has been up for four months with zero issues.

the parking situation on our block is a nightmare but they didn't show up late because of it. figured it out themselves. tv is up. job done.

We had a really tricky corner mount situation with some irregular framing. The deep scanner they use is amazing, it mapped the whole wall first so there was no guessing.

Quick call, honest quote, showed up prepared. The wall on Hyde Street turned out to have an unusual void behind the plaster from an old medicine cabinet. They adapted on the spot. No upcharge, no delay.

My building manager is notoriously difficult to please, but the team sent the scope of work upfront. They mounted the bracket directly into the underlying masonry so the heavy frame TV is totally secure. Will definitely use them again for other handyman tasks.

My building manager initially said no outside contractors. I showed her the R8Works insurance paperwork and the scope of work document and she approved same afternoon. Having that documentation ready made the difference.

the mount is rock solid. highly reccomend them for anyone living in an older unit.

Great communication from the office about the contractor rules for our Nob Hill co-op. The installer was polite and efficient.

They carried a 75-inch TV up four flights on Hyde Street without complaint, unboxed it in the lobby just like they said they would, and got it on the wall in under 90 minutes. I was bracing for a difficult afternoon. It was not a difficult afternoon.

The team called ahead to confirm parking logistics on our steep block. That small detail showed they actually know Nob Hill. No wasted time hunting for a spot on California Street at 9am.

seriously these guys r lifesavers. hauled a massive 85 inch screen up three flights of narrow stairs on jones street and got it mounted securely. couldn't ask for better service!!!!

i was trying to find a mount that wouldn't block the outlet we had installed last year. they brought a slim bracket that fit perfectly.

Neighbor recommended them after they did her place on Taylor Street. Same quality on my end. I was specifically worried about the noise restrictions in our building but they finished all the drilling within the morning window without rushing.

Can't recommend these guys enough. They came to our apartment on Taylor Street and got the 55 inch mounted above the fireplace in no time. They knew exactly where the studs were.

i tried to use a basic stud finder but it was useless because the original chimney flue is right where we wanted the tv. they brought a deep scanning tool and figured out the layout in minutes.

Solid work. My building on Jones Street has a reputation for turning contractors away because of documentation issues. Not this time. They came prepared and the doorman let them straight up.

Super solid mount. The TV doesn't budge even an inch.

The technician pointed out a spot in my wall where there was old wiring she could see on the radar. She routed around it without making it a bigger deal than it was. I appreciated not being alarmed unnecessarily.

The TV is perfectly centered above the fireplace and completely secure. I appreciate how they respected the building's quiet hours without me even having to ask.

moved into a place on mason st last fall and needed my 65 inch mounted. first company i tried said they 'don't do plaster walls.' these guys said that's basically all they do up here. in and out in under two hours, no mess, no drama.

I live alone and had some hesitation about having strangers in the apartment for an install. The technician was respectful of my space from the moment she arrived. She explained each step before doing it. That made a real difference.

They parked down in the commercial zone and managed the whole unload without holding up traffic. The installation itself was quick and they cleaned up all the plaster dust.

fair price, showed up when they said, did what they said. The wall scanning was new to me but it clearly works — the bracket went into solid material and nothing cracked.

I wasn't sure if a 75 inch display would hold on our old walls but they assured me the heavy duty hardware they use is designed for brick backing. It's totally solid.

I've lived on Washington Street for eleven years and have been trying to figure out how to mount a TV properly the whole time. Every previous person I had quote it said the wall was too difficult. Finally done. Looks great.

After dealing with a contractor who refused to touch our plaster walls, I was relieved to find someone experienced with San Francisco's older architecture. They brought the right steel anchors and got the job done.

I asked a lot of questions before booking. They answered all of them without rushing me. That matters when you're about to let someone drill into a historic apartment wall.

this is the second time we've used them since moving to san francisco. always reliable and they never try to upsell you on junk hardware.

I was nervous about the plaster cracking during installation — it's happened with other work in this building. It didn't. The technician was careful and clearly knew the difference between our old plaster and regular drywall. Really appreciated the care.

A neighbor in our co-op near Grace Cathedral suggested R8Works. They were incredibly respectful of the building's strict quiet hours, which our HOA board loved. The 65-inch LG is perfectly leveled, and the heavy toggle bolts they used feel solid.

my hoa has a whole approval process for any wall mounting. they walked me through it same day and did a great job.

The best installation experience we've had in the city. The TV is leveled perfectly.

We used a different company last time and they refused to drill into the brick backing. These guys had no problem with it and got the massive 75 inch display up in under two hours.

Flawless work hiding the cables. We have horizontal fire-stops in the walls so I thought we'd need exposed wierd plastic channels, but they managed to run everything behind the lath.

the tv is exactly where we wanted it above the mantel. i was nervous about them drilling into our pre war plaster but they used some kind of radar thing first to check the wall. no mess at all

After reading reviews about how tricky pre-war walls are I didn't want to risk it. R8Works lived up to the hype and delivered a clean secure mount.

the previous owners left massive holes from their old mount. not only did they securely install our new bracket but they were careful around the old damage. very knowledgable about old construction

no visible wires at all. they traced a path around the fire blocks inside the wall. looks incredible

Our living room has weird angles and thick plaster. The technician used a radar scanner to find the brick behind the wall so they didn't drill blind. Very smart approach.
