Secure, cable-hidden TV mounting on drywall, plaster, brick, and over fireplaces — plus mirrors, art, shelves, and blinds. Serving Ridgewood homeowners and property managers with upfront pricing and same-week availability.
A stud finder will lie to you in a Ridgewood Victorian. Behind that smooth wall near the Somerville section there's usually plaster over wood lath, and the sensor reads the lath strips as studs — which is how a 65-inch TV ends up hanging on nothing. TV mounting in Ridgewood means confirming real framing with pilot holes or a rare-earth magnet on the lath nails, drilling rather than hammering so the plaster keys don't crack, and using toggle-style anchors rated for plaster when the studs don't land where the mount needs them. Fireplace mounts in these houses bring their own question: many older chimney breasts are masonry under the plaster, which actually holds beautifully with the right sleeve anchors. If you're doing it yourself, one caution: skip the stick-on and cone-style drywall anchors entirely — they're designed for half-inch drywall and will pull straight out of lath. And if a wall rings hollow and crumbles white dust when drilled, stop and re-plan the anchoring before hanging anything heavy.
