TV Mounting Installer Jobs in Houston, TX 77019
EVOTECH IT LLC takes on installers and subcontractors for flat-panel work inside 77019 — the River Oaks streets, the Neartown blocks that shade into Montrose, and the condominium towers stacked along Allen Parkway. Here is what that route asks of you and how to start a conversation about it.
The job in plain terms
An installer on this route spends the day moving between private residences and building common areas, hanging flat panels, hiding cable, and leaving a wall that looks like the television grew out of it.
The core task is easy to describe and hard to do the same way every time: find structure, fasten to it, level it, conceal the wire, dress the cable behind the panel, and leave the room tidier than you found it. Around that core sit the habits that separate an installer we keep calling from one we do not — reading a wall before the bit touches it, saying out loud when a fireplace mount is a poor idea, and explaining a trade-off to a homeowner without talking down to them.
- Fixed, tilting and full-motion mounts on drywall, plaster, brick, concrete and steel stud
- In-wall cable routing with rated pass-through plates, and surface raceway where fishing a wall is not permitted
- Recessed receptacle and low-voltage box placement behind the panel
- Soundbar, center-channel and shelf brackets above or below the display
- Source device placement, HDMI runs, and enough setup that the customer can actually turn it on
- Photographing finished work and closing the ticket in the field
Some days are one complicated install that eats six hours. Other days are three straightforward mounts within a few blocks of each other. Both happen inside this one ZIP code.
Why 77019 is mostly a tower-and-mid-rise route
This ZIP code is unusual for Houston because a large share of the residences are not houses. Between Allen Parkway, West Gray and the Montrose edge sit mid-rise and high-rise condominium buildings, and work inside them runs on a different rhythm than a driveway-and-garage install in the suburbs.
- Front-desk sign-in. Many buildings want the installer to check in, show identification, and be badged or escorted up.
- Certificate of insurance on file. Associations routinely require a certificate naming the building before any contractor is allowed past the lobby. We issue that paperwork, but coverage has to exist for it to be issued.
- Freight elevator windows. Some towers only allow contractor loads during posted weekday hours. Arriving at four in the afternoon can mean no elevator at all.
- Dock and garage clearance. A tall van with a ladder rack does not fit every parking structure. Knowing your own vehicle height matters more here than anywhere else we work.
- Noise and dust limits. Neighbors share walls and ceilings. Drop cloths, a vacuum on the drill, and no hammer drilling outside the building’s posted hours.
None of that is difficult. It is a set of habits, and an installer who already carries them is worth a great deal to us in this corner of Houston.
What is actually behind the wall around River Oaks
Housing here falls into roughly three buckets, and each one punishes a guess differently.
Pre-war and mid-century houses
Many of the single-family homes in and around River Oaks predate modern framing conventions. Behind the paint you may meet plaster over wood lath, plank sheathing, or a skim coat over masonry. An electronic stud finder that behaves beautifully on half-inch drywall can read lath as a solid sheet of nothing. Carry a pin-type finder, a small pilot bit, and the patience to confirm before a lag bolt goes in.
Concrete and steel stud in the towers
Interior partitions in a high-rise are usually light-gauge metal stud, and demising walls are frequently concrete. Metal stud will not carry a heavy full-motion arm on ordinary anchors without real thought, and drilling into a post-tensioned slab or a structural column is not something to improvise. If you cannot tell whether a wall is structural, you stop and call. That is the expected behavior here, not a failure.
New townhome infill
The three and four-story townhomes filling in the lots nearby are conventional framing, but stair-hall walls are tall and the media wall is usually on an upper floor. Getting an eighty-five inch panel up a switchback stair is a two-person job and we schedule it as one.
The kit we expect you to show up with
Installers and subcontractors arrive self-sufficient. At minimum:
| Category | What you bring |
|---|---|
| Detection | Electronic and pin-type stud finders plus a voltage detector. Nothing gets drilled blind near a switch or receptacle. |
| Drilling | Cordless drill and impact driver, masonry bits, a compact rotary hammer for brick and block, and flex or self-feed bits for fishing. |
| Leveling | A torpedo level and a laser. A panel a degree off against a ceiling line puts a customer on the phone faster than anything else. |
| Access | A stable step ladder that fits in a residential elevator, and something taller for vaulted rooms. |
| Fastening | Lag bolts, structural screws, toggle and snap-toggle anchors, and masonry anchors sized to the mount you are hanging. |
| Finish | Drop cloths, vacuum, wall plates, brush plates, cable management, and patch compound for the pilot hole that lands wrong. |
| Vehicle | Something reliable that carries a mount, a ladder and tools, with current registration and insurance. |
Job-specific material — long fish rods, in-wall power kits, unusual mount interfaces, rated plates — comes from us. Nobody is expected to carry inventory at their own expense.
Licensing, insurance and background expectations
EVOTECH IT LLC is a licensed and insured low-voltage contractor that has been working in the Houston area for more than twenty years and holds a 5.0-star rating. Anyone representing us on a customer property is held to that standard.
- Identification and work authorization. Standard documentation, verified before a first dispatch.
- Background check. You will be entering private homes and, in this ZIP code, secured buildings. Expect to consent.
- Driver license and vehicle insurance. Current, and documented.
- General liability for subcontractors. If you operate as your own business, carry your own policy. If you do not, that is a conversation we have openly.
- Low-voltage licensing. Work beyond hanging a panel — structured cabling, camera runs, rack builds — is performed under our contractor license and supervision. You do not need to hold your own to do that work with us, but you do need to work within ours.
- Conduct. Shoe covers, phone away, no smoking on property, and nothing about one customer discussed with another.
Installers never quote line-item pricing in the field and are never asked to push add-ons. On-site estimates are free and itemized quotes come from the office in writing. Your job is the installation and an honest read of what the room needs.
How dispatch, scheduling and compensation are handled
How a day is built
Work is assigned the day before wherever possible, with address, panel size, mount type and access notes attached. A 77019 ticket usually carries an extra line about the garage, the dock or the concierge desk. Read it before you leave — discovering there is no street parking near West Gray at two in the afternoon is an avoidable way to lose an hour.
Route logic
We try to hold an installer inside one corridor instead of bouncing them across the county. The company covers Katy, Houston, Sugar Land, Richmond, Fulshear, Cypress and the surrounding Texas communities, and the inner-loop ZIP codes cluster naturally: a 77019 morning often pairs with a neighboring inner-loop afternoon. If you live out west, your cluster will look different.
Availability
There is full-time work, part-time work, and overflow for subcontractors already running their own book. Evenings and Saturdays exist because that is when people are home. Tell us honestly what you can commit to — four reliable days beat seven unreliable ones every time.
Compensation
What you earn depends on scope, experience, whether you come on as an employee or a subcontractor, and how much of a job you can finish without support. We discuss it directly during the interview rather than publishing a figure that would not be true for every candidate.
How to apply
There is no long application portal. Two ways in:
- Call (832) 359-2425. Say you are calling about installer work and name the part of town you are based in. If you already work the inner loop, mention it.
- Use the contact form. Put “TV mounting installer — 77019” in the message with your experience, your vehicle, whether you carry your own liability coverage, and your general availability.
Worth mentioning: the heaviest panel you have hung on your own, whether you have worked inside managed buildings, whether you have fished cable through a two-story wall, and any structured cabling, camera or network background. That last one matters — a large share of our work is camera installation and network cabling, and people who can do both stay busy across the whole year.
Expect a short phone conversation, then a working interview where somebody rides with you or you ride with them. We are watching your habits more closely than your speed.
