About half of our Miami jobs are in condos — Brickell, Edgewater, Downtown, Sunny Isles, Aventura, Miami Beach. The mounting itself is familiar. What makes condo work different is everything around it: paperwork, elevators, drill hours, and walls that are either concrete or thin steel.
Before the appointment: the building
Nearly every Miami association has a contractor packet. It usually asks for:
- A certificate of insurance (COI) naming the association (sometimes the management company too) as additional insured, often with specific wording
- Service-elevator reservation, sometimes with padding required
- Loading dock or garage entrance times and parking instructions
- Drill hours — commonly weekdays 9am–4pm or 5pm, no weekends
- Occasionally a refundable deposit or floor protection in hallways
We collect the requirements from management when you book, send the COI the same day and schedule inside the building's hours. When the packet is handled ahead, the install itself is under an hour.
The walls
Interior partitions are 25-gauge steel studs. Lag bolts do not hold in them. We use 1/4-inch snap-toggles through two studs — see metal studs.
Exterior and demising walls are poured concrete. Great holding power with sleeve anchors. In post-tensioned buildings (most towers built after the 2000s) steel tendons run through the slabs; we drill walls only, never floors or ceilings, and stay within the building's anchor depth.
Older buildings (1960s–80s on Brickell Avenue, Miami Beach, North Miami Beach) often have concrete block demising walls with plaster — sleeve anchors, slow drilling, a lot of dust control.
Cables in a building you can't cut
Associations rarely allow cutting concrete or opening shared walls. The options:
- Paintable raceway on concrete or shared walls — slim, painted to the wall, removable
- In-wall power kit on your own steel partition, after checking for a mid-height steel track
- A media console or floating shelf under the TV so the cable run is short
Glare and the one wall
Floor-to-ceiling glass leaves one or two walls for a TV, usually facing the windows. We check the afternoon sun and suggest a slight tilt, a lower height or a full-motion arm in corner units. Art-style TVs are popular here — Frame TV installation.
Checklist for owners
- Ask management for the contractor requirements (or give us the contact).
- Book a weekday slot inside drill hours.
- Reserve the elevator (we can do it).
- Decide on cables: raceway or in-wall.
- Clear the wall and the path from the door.

We work in Miami condos every day, and building paperwork is part of the job, not an extra. Installation starts at $119. City pages: Brickell, Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Miami Beach.
