Secure, cable-hidden TV mounting on drywall, plaster, brick, and over fireplaces — plus mirrors, art, shelves, and blinds. Serving Montclair homeowners and property managers with upfront pricing and same-week availability.
The wall behind your TV in a Montclair colonial is probably plaster over wood lath, and that changes everything about how a mount should go in. Standard drywall anchors crumble plaster; the right approach is locating the studs behind the lath and using toggle-style anchors rated for the load where studs don't line up. Many pre-war homes here — from Upper Montclair down to the South End — also have original picture rails, and if you're hanging art rather than a TV, rail hooks let you avoid putting holes in century-old plaster entirely, which any homeowner near the art museum will appreciate. We mount TVs on plaster, brick chimney breasts, and over fireplaces, with cables routed cleanly. One tip worth knowing before you book anyone: ask how they'll find studs in lath walls, because a standard stud finder gives false readings through plaster. If the answer is a shrug, keep looking. Sentinel is a newer local company, fully insured, and we treat old walls like they can't be replaced — because original plaster really can't.
