About
I mount TVs and set up home theater and home networks across Oakland and the East Bay, evenings and weekends — usually when people are actually home. My background is low-voltage cabling and network equipment rather than general handyman work. In practice that means the mount goes into real studs and gets torqued down, cables are hidden with in-wall rated cable, and every input is tested before I leave. You get a firm price before I start, drop cloths on the floor, and the room vacuumed before I go. If you'd rather not open up the wall, I'll run a paintable surface cover instead at no extra charge. Your soundbar, streaming box and WiFi will be working when I leave, not just a TV on a bracket. Send me the size and model of your TV along with a photo of the wall and I'll give you an exact price, usually within a few minutes. Tôi nói tiếng Việt.

Tridu was excellent throughout the whole process, from quote to installing 7 mounts and TVs in our office space. We worked with Duy and we will definitely keep Tridu at the top of our list for future needs!
Details: Wall mount • Drywall • TV larger than 60 inches • Yes, there’s an electrical outlet nearby • No, I don’t need to conceal cables and wires • Yes, I already have a mount or stand • Articulating (tilts up and down, moves side to side) • None

If I were allowed to I would have chosen all 5 satisfaction categories. Duy was great to work with. He is very knowledgeable and took the time to understand my situation. As a result of his visit, I now know what my next steps are regarding my AV system. He was patient and accurate in the troubleshooting process and I will continue to use him as I build my system. I highly recommend Duy!

Duy expertly mounted my 85" television with precision! The TV weighs approximately 99 pounds, so it's no small job. Duy installed a heavy-duty mount and concealed all the cords in my wall. He took careful measurements to make sure the TV was perfectly centered in the room. He also worked with me on the sight lines and made adjustments until I was completely happy with the vertical setup. He recommended a full-motion mount instead of a fixed one, and that was a great call, since I can now easily reach the back of the TV to add HDMI devices. He also suggested running extra HDMI cables through the wall in case I need another input in the future. He also brought a vacuum to clean up the work we did on the drywall. I really appreciated his advice and found him very collaborative to work with. Duy's work is perfection!!! I love my new setup. I'll be hiring him again for my future home electronics needs.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
TV mounting is $150 per TV if you already have the bracket, and I can supply one if you don't. That price includes running the cable in a paintable surface cover so nothing hangs loose. If you'd rather have the cables fully hidden inside the wall instead, that's $100-150 more per TV. Brick, tile or metal stud walls, mounting above a fireplace, taking down an existing TV, and adding a soundbar each add to the price. Whatever it comes to, I'll tell you the exact figure before I start rather than after. Not included: drywall repair beyond the mounting plate itself, any new electrical work, or supplying the TV. I take cash, Zelle, Venmo, PayPal or check.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It starts with a few questions by message: the size and model of your TV, what the wall is made of, whether you want the cables hidden, and a photo of the spot. That is usually enough for me to quote an exact price instead of a range, so there are no surprises later. When I arrive I check the wall against what we discussed, mark the position, and have you stand and look at the height before anything gets drilled. Then I locate the studs, check for wiring or plumbing inside the wall, put drop cloths down, and mount it. Before I leave I test every input, run the mount through its full tilt and swivel to be sure no cable pulls tight, vacuum up, and walk you through it with the remote in your hand.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Homeowners and renters around Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Emeryville, San Leandro and the rest of the East Bay. Most of my work is living rooms and bedrooms: a new TV that needs to go on the wall, cables that need hiding, or a home theater and sound system that needs setting up properly. I also do a fair amount of WiFi and home network work for people whose internet is fine but whose coverage isn't. I'm happy to work with Vietnamese-speaking customers in their own language if that's easier.
