Historic homes, downtown brick and South Coast Metro condos
Floral Park and French Park homes from the 1920s–30s have lath and plaster. We locate studs with thin test holes behind where the mount will hide, drill with the hammer off, and use a painted backer when the studs aren't where the TV belongs. Mounts for plaster.
Downtown lofts are unreinforced brick that was retrofitted, often with steel bracing. We map the bracing, drill the brick face rather than the mortar and set sleeve anchors. South Coast Metro condos are concrete and steel stud with HOA rules. Brick and stone.
Big screens for big families
Many Santa Ana living rooms get a 75 to 98-inch TV so the whole family can watch together. Up to 85 inches is $129; 86 and up start at $179 with two technicians and a heavy-duty mount. Mounts for 85-inch TVs.
Second TVs and bedrooms
Bedroom and garage-room TVs are common add-ons. Each additional TV in the same visit starts at $40, and in houses we hide the cables inside the wall ($69).

What this means for your TV wall
Two numbers shape most Santa Ana TV walls. 40.1% of homes went up between 1960 and 1979, so the usual living room is wood studs and textured drywall around a brick fireplace; another 33.8% predate 1960, bringing plaster, older paint and pre-1978 lead rules. And with 55.4% of households renting, many of our visits start with a landlord's okay and end with a neatly painted raceway instead of a cut in the drywall.
Historic Santa Ana: indoors is yours, outdoors goes to the city
Floral Park joined the National Register in February 2023 with 636 homes, most from the Revival years of the 1920s and 1930s. That listing alone usually puts no limits on owners, and the neighborhood association has said it will not set up a review committee. The city's code is stricter: under Municipal Code Section 30-6, exterior changes to a designated historic structure wait for a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Resources Commission, and contributing homes in the city's historic districts fall under that review. Indoors, Oleh mounts your TV like any other job. Outside, we keep the plan reversible and out of street view: a rear porch under a solid roof, cables inside the house, nothing new on the facade. If your home is a contributing property, check with the city before anything gets bolted outside. Outdoor installs get stainless hardware throughout.

The 1960s ranch and its brick fireplace
This is the Santa Ana house we visit most: a single-story ranch from the 1960s or 70s with a brick fireplace facing the sofa. Of our 45+ TVs in the city, 10 went over a fireplace. Oleh measures the wall above the firebox first, and if the family burns gas logs he runs them, because about 1 in 8 walls we check is too warm just above the mantel. Santa Ana mantels we measure run 50 to 60 inches high, so most screens get a tilting mount ($49) angled down toward the couch. Anchors go into sound brick, never a mortar joint; stone veneer is not structure, so there they pass through to the framing. When a crack runs through the brick at screen height, he moves the plate to solid courses. Try the height tool, read about fireplace TV mounting or send a request.

TV mounting in Santa Ana, CA: common questions
Can you mount a TV in a historic Floral Park home?
Yes — studs found behind the lath, careful drilling, and plaster at the same price as drywall.
Do you mount 98-inch TVs in Santa Ana?
Yes, with two technicians and a heavy-duty mount, from $179.
How much does TV mounting cost in Santa Ana?
$119 up to 60 inches, $129 up to 85 inches, no travel fee.
Does my Floral Park or French Park house need city approval for a TV?
Not for anything inside. Outside changes to a designated or contributing historic home need a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Resources Commission, so we plan patio TVs as reversible rear-porch setups out of view from the street.
I rent in Santa Ana. Can you mount a TV the landlord will accept?
Yes, and with 55.4% of households here renting, we do it often. Send the landlord's okay, and Oleh mounts into studs and hides the wires in a painted raceway ($39), so nothing is cut. Certificates of insurance usually go out the same day.
How soon can you come to my Santa Ana home?
Book before noon and you have a good chance at a same-day slot; about 2 in 3 morning requests get one. Oleh's crew is based between Fullerton and Anaheim, and a standard install into two studs takes about an hour.
