TV Mounting in Federal Way, WA
Federal Way grew around Weyerhaeuser's 1971 headquarters, so most homes are ranches, split-levels and 1980s two-stories, joined lately by apartment blocks near the Downtown Link station. Hlib's crew drives over from Kent, finds the studs behind your drywall or paneling and hangs the TV level, often the same day you call.
TV mounting in Federal Way 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 concrete.

What this means for your TV wall
Federal Way's median home dates from 1984, and 41.4% of homes were built between 1980 and 1999, so the typical TV wall is 2x4 framing at 16-inch centers behind half-inch drywall, sometimes with wood paneling in a basement rec room. Only 5.3% predate 1960, which means plaster is rare here. Many family rooms from that era are built around a gas fireplace, so we plan the TV height around the mantel and a heat test before drilling.
Twin Lakes, Steel Lake and Marine Hills: what the walls hold
Twin Lakes, around Lake Lorene and Lake Jeane in the northwest corner of the city, is mostly ranch and split-level homes from about 1960 to 1980. In a split-level the TV wall often sits above the stairs and can hide a header or ductwork, so we scan its full width first. Marine Hills, built in 1958 overlooking Puget Sound, is the oldest pocket we visit; brick fireplaces there get sleeve anchors in solid brick faces, never the mortar joints. Around Steel Lake and Lakota, two-stories from the 1980s and 1990s usually have a gas fireplace on a framed chase. Before any fireplace TV we run the flame for 20 minutes and measure the wall; if it runs warm, the screen goes higher on a tilting mount ($49) angled toward the couch. Try your own numbers first in our height tool.

Renting near the Commons and the new Link station
Link light rail reached Federal Way on December 6, 2025, and the Downtown station sits at 23rd Ave S and S 317th St. Sound Transit has moved to award the land beside it for about 230 affordable homes in two buildings, mostly two- to four-bedroom units. Apartments within a few blocks of the platform already send us a steady share of requests, and with 44.7% of households renting citywide, many callers want the TV up without risking the deposit. Our approach: bolt into wood studs only, run the cables in a slim channel painted to the wall color (renter-friendly raceways), and leave the landlord a tidy wall. Screens from 61 to 85 inches are $129 flat, with no travel fee from Kent. Homeowners who want hidden runs can book cable concealment, always with a listed power kit, never a bare cord inside the wall.

TV mounting in Federal Way, WA: common questions
I rent an apartment near the Commons — can I mount a TV?
Usually yes with the landlord's okay; we use studs and a removable raceway and patch at move-out.
Can you take our TVs down before a military move?
Yes. We dismount each TV and mount, bag and label the hardware and patch the holes if you want.
How much does TV mounting cost in Federal Way?
$119 up to 60 inches, $129 up to 85 inches and $49 for a dismount. No travel fee.
Can you mount a TV on my Dash Point deck?
Yes, an outdoor-rated TV under a solid roof with stainless hardware and a sealed cable entry.
How fast can you get to Federal Way?
Usually the same day or the next, seven days a week.
Our 1980s basement has wood paneling. Can the TV go there?
Yes. Paneling is a thin layer over studs or furring strips, so we locate the framing behind it and bolt through into wood. A TV never hangs on paneling alone, and a slim raceway keeps cables off the grooves.
Do I need a permit to mount a TV in Federal Way?
No. Washington's electrician-licensing rules do not cover television wires and equipment, so a mount and low-voltage cables need no permit. A new outlet behind the TV is an electrician's job with a permit, so we use a listed in-wall power kit fed from your existing outlet.
Can you mount the TV the day we get keys near the Link station?
Often, yes. About 2 in 3 requests that reach us before noon get a same-day slot, and Hlib's crew starts nearby in Kent. Send your building's move-in rules and any insurance certificate form with the request, and we bring the paperwork.
