Drilling stopped at 5pm. Dmytro set concrete sleeve anchors with a vacuum at the bit and tilted the screen down from its high spot.

TV Mounting in Marina del Rey, CA
Marina del Rey is 780 acres of county-owned harbor land, leased to developers, so nearly every home is a rental in a large building, from 1960s towers to new mid-rises on Admiralty Way. Dmytro's Westside crew handles the leasing paperwork, the elevator and the concrete, often the same day you call.
TV mounting in Marina del Rey is flat-rate: $119 up to 60", $129 for 61–85" and from $179 for 86" and larger, plus $40 for each additional TV. Mounts from $39, cables hidden in a raceway for $39 or inside the wall for $69. No travel fee and no surcharge for plaster or brick.

Harbor towers, luxury rentals and peninsula townhomes
The towers around the basins are poured concrete with steel-stud interior walls. The wall facing the living room is often a concrete shear wall — superb for anchors, slow to drill — while the partitions are 25-gauge steel that needs snap-toggles through two studs. We check which one we have with a magnet and a small test hole before anything is marked. Concrete walls.
Newer rental buildings along Admiralty Way and Via Marina are wood or steel over a concrete podium. Leasing offices usually allow wall mounts if the holes are patched, and many ask for our certificate of insurance and an elevator booking — we send both ahead of the visit.
Balcony TVs and salt air
The marine layer and salt air eat ordinary steel. Balcony and patio TVs here get weather-rated mounts with stainless hardware, drip loops on every cable and sealed anchors. Many buildings do not allow anything on a balcony wall visible from the water — we check before quoting. Outdoor TVs in LA.
Water views and glare
A TV opposite a wall of glass facing the harbor catches the afternoon sun. We often mount on the side wall, add a few degrees of tilt, or use a full-motion arm ($69) so the screen can turn away from the window when the light is low.

What this means for your TV wall
The Census leaves little doubt about who owns the wall: 94.8% of homes are in buildings of 20 or more units, and almost all of them are rented, so the fastener you choose is really a decision about patching at move-out. The stock comes in two waves, 42.4% built between 1960 and 1979 and 30.7% since 2010, which means a pre-1978 concrete tower and a fresh podium building can face each other across the same harbor.
Renting on county land: what to sort out before we drill
The County kept the land when the harbor opened in 1965 and leased parcels to developers, so the call on your wall usually belongs to a property manager. Forward us the leasing office's email: Dmytro sends the certificate of insurance and confirms the elevator and loading window ahead of time, and about 2 in 3 requests made before noon still get a same-day slot.
Ask what the lease says about holes. Most managers accept a few anchor holes filled at move-out; cutting drywall for in-wall cables usually needs written approval. Without it, HDMI goes into a slim painted raceway ($39), and the TV power cord never shares it or goes inside the wall. When your lease ends, we take the TV down and leave holes ready for spackle ($49). Our renter guide to hiding wires is worth sending to your manager.

Pre-1978 towers next to post-2010 mid-rises
County redevelopment keeps swapping older complexes for bigger ones: a 1999 permit cleared 1,022 apartments on Parcels 12 and 15, and a 2003 request proposed 172 units at 4160 Admiralty Way in place of 64. Neighbors across one basin can have very different walls.
In the 1960s and 70s towers we meet concrete, so Dmytro scans for conduit in the slab before the hammer drill starts and catches the dust at the bit. Older low-rises often use hollow concrete block, where anchors go into the web of the block, never a mortar joint. In anything built before 1978 we keep openings tiny and make no cut a board has not cleared. The post-2010 mid-rises sit on garage podiums with light steel studs; our metal-stud guide explains why a heavy arm needs two of them. A 75-inch TV is $129 on any of these walls.

The arm sits beside the balcony slider, so Dmytro set its stops to keep the screen clear of the glass.

TV mounting in Marina del Rey, CA: common questions
Can you mount a TV in a Marina del Rey apartment?
Yes. We work with leasing offices and HOAs, send our certificate of insurance and use patchable fasteners.
Do concrete walls cost more?
No. Concrete and metal studs cost the same as drywall: $119 up to 60 inches, $129 up to 85 inches.
Can you install a TV on my balcony?
If the building allows it — with a weather-rated mount and stainless hardware for the salt air.
Will my leasing office need anything from you?
Usually a certificate of insurance naming the building and a booked elevator or loading window. We send both ahead, usually the same day you book. Forward the manager's email when you request a visit and mention any quiet hours.
I'm moving to another building in the Marina. Can you move my TV?
Yes. We take the TV and mount down at the old unit, pull the anchors so the holes are ready to fill, and hang it at the new place. Keep the bracket box; new walls may need different anchors.
Does the marine layer change where the TV should go?
Mostly it changes the light. Gray early-summer mornings turn into bright afternoons off the water, so we set the angle for the sunniest hour, not the hour we visit. Culver City, a few miles inland, clears sooner.
