TV Mounting and Home Installation in Manhattan

Picture Perfect Mounting works throughout Manhattan every day. From prewar co-ops on the Upper East Side to glass towers in Hudson Yards, we know this borough’s walls and we know how to work in its buildings. Whether you need a TV mounted, art hung, furniture assembled, or a full apartment set up, we get it done right. Most jobs are available next day.

Manhattan Wall Types: What You’re Dealing With

Manhattan is one of the most varied cities in the world when it comes to wall construction, and that matters the moment you try to hang something. Prewar buildings across the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, and Harlem have thick plaster walls. Plaster is dense, sometimes brittle, and completely unforgiving if you use the wrong anchor. Standard toggle bolts won’t hold the way they do in modern drywall. We carry plaster-specific hardware and know exactly how to locate a stud through plaster before we drill anything.

Doorman buildings in Midtown and the Financial District often have concrete walls along exterior-facing sides. Mounting into concrete requires a hammer drill and concrete sleeve anchors. Most handymen don’t carry that equipment. We do, and we test every anchor before we hang anything heavy on it.

New construction in Hudson Yards, Hell’s Kitchen, and lower Manhattan typically uses metal studs behind standard drywall. Metal studs are structurally sound when anchored correctly, but easy to damage without the right approach. We use a stud finder designed to differentiate between wood and metal before committing to any placement.

Building COI Requirements in Manhattan

Almost every co-op and condo in Manhattan requires a Certificate of Insurance from any contractor who enters the building. This applies to doorman buildings across the borough, and buildings don’t make exceptions for quick jobs. PPM provides COIs within one to two business days. When you book, send over your building’s requirements and we take care of the paperwork. You won’t have to go back and forth with your building manager. Learn more about how our COI process works.

What We Install in Manhattan

We handle the full range of home installation work in Manhattan apartments and townhouses:

  • Art hanging — single pieces, gallery walls, oversized mirrors, and framed art at any weight. We use the right picture-hanging hardware for each surface.
  • Furniture assembly — IKEA, CB2, West Elm, Pottery Barn, Room & Board, and more. We bring our own tools.
  • AC installation — window and through-wall units. We handle the heavy lifting and make sure everything is secured properly before we leave.
  • Childproofing — furniture anchoring to the wall, outlet covers, cabinet locks, and safety gates. Done in one visit.
  • Full Day installation — $1,295 flat rate. Book a full day and work through your entire list in one appointment. It’s our most popular option for clients moving into a new apartment.
