Installs in Arlington County, VA
Arlington is condos and 40s and 50s brick houses, and both have their own install list. Ballston, Clarendon, Rosslyn and Crystal City condos get the panel ready dishwasher, the TV on a concrete or metal stud wall and the management office that wants paperwork first. Lyon Park, Cherrydale and the Columbia Pike brick houses get the first ducted bath fan and the fan rated box.
Or call or text (240) 802-7282. Hours 8 to 6, Monday through Saturday.
Metal studs in Ballston and brick houses on Columbia Pike
The crew comes across the 14th Street or Key Bridge and books Arlington paired with DC or with Springfield. It is a small county and the stops are close, so three installs in one morning is normal.
Arlington high rises built since the 90s have metal studs and concrete shear walls, and a TV mount or a closet rail goes into those with toggle anchors or concrete anchors, never into the drywall alone. We ask which wall the TV is going on before the visit so the right anchors are in the truck.

Arlington County install questions
- Can you mount a TV on a metal stud wall in a Clarendon condo?
- Yes, with toggle anchors rated for the TV weight through the metal stud, or concrete anchors on a shear wall. We bring both and check the wall before drilling.
- Do you handle the condo paperwork?
- Yes. Send the building name and the management contact and we get the certificate of insurance and the elevator booking done before the day.
- Is there a trip charge in Arlington?
- No. Arlington pairs with DC and Fairfax and the estimate is the whole price.
