Coconut Grove mixes Bahamian shotgun cottages on Charles Avenue, shaded mid-century houses and a new wave of boutique condos rising along South Bayshore and SW 27th Avenue. Yevhen, our coast technician, knows each of these walls, books same-day when he can, and quotes a flat price before the first hole.
TV mounting in Coconut Grove 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 concrete block.
Historic Grove houses are either wood frame with plaster — studs found with test holes, drilled without the hammer — or built from oolite coral rock, a porous limestone. Coral rock holds sleeve anchors well only when they go deep into solid stone, so we drill slowly, use longer anchors and stay out of the mortar. Brick and stone.
Bayfront towers on South Bayshore and Grove Isle are poured concrete with steel-stud partitions: sleeve anchors in the concrete, snap-toggles in steel, and the building's certificate of insurance and elevator booking arranged ahead. Condo and high-rise mounting.
The new houses going up in North and South Grove are concrete block with big glass walls. The TV usually goes on a block wall with sleeve anchors ($39 raceway on block, or cables inside a framed interior wall for $69). Mounting on concrete.
Shade is the Grove's gift to outdoor TVs, but humidity and salt air are its tax. We use outdoor-rated screens, weather-rated mounts and stainless hardware, and seal every anchor. Outdoor TVs in Miami.

The Grove splits into two kinds of TV wall. 31.2% of homes were built before 1960, so plaster, irregular old framing and coral rock come up on many house calls. At the other end, 33.4% of units sit in buildings of 20 or more, where the wall is poured concrete or a steel-stud partition and the job starts with condo paperwork. Townhomes, 18.3% of units, fall in between: often block party walls with framed interiors, which decides whether cables can run inside.
Bahamian settlers built wood-frame shotgun cottages along Charles Avenue, and the City has named a number of them historic landmarks that cannot be demolished. Around them, the NCD-3 conservation district guards the canopy that keeps Grove living rooms dim at noon. Inside these houses the studs are old and unevenly spaced, the plaster is thick and the paint is often older than 1978. Yevhen finds framing with small test holes, works lead-safe with tape and a vacuum at the bit, and usually picks a tilting mount, because tall windows leave little wall at eye level. Cords go in a raceway painted to match, so the original walls stay closed. A 55-inch fits most of these narrow front rooms, and that size is $119 flat. Most of these visits run under two hours.

The next wave of Grove owners is buying from plans: Opus, 14 units on SW 27th Avenue, is due in 2027; The Lincoln, 48 units on Lincoln Avenue, broke ground in June 2026 for 2028; and the 70-unit Four Seasons Private Residences on South Bayshore Drive is set for mid-2028. New towers mean new associations, and about 8 in 10 condo buildings we work in ask for a certificate of insurance before the visit. Florida law also bars owners from work that affects the safety of common elements, so Yevhen keeps every anchor inside your unit and checks whether a wall is shared before planning any in-wall run. Send us your floor plan when you get keys and we will tell you within a day which wall takes the TV, a soundbar or a media wall.
