restored cottage in Loray Mill Village
The 1920s framing was not on a modern layout, so we probed behind the plate area, caught two old studs and added a backer board to spread the load across the boards.

TV Mounting in Gastonia, NC
Gastonia mixes three eras on almost every drive: frame mill cottages around the old Loray Mill, brick-and-plaster homes in York-Chester and Brookwood, and fresh drywall in the subdivisions going up near the ballpark and down Robinson Clemmer Road. Stepan's west-side crew is in Gaston County every week, so a same-day visit for a den, a loft or a new family room is usually easy.
TV mounting in Gastonia is flat-rate: $119 up to 60", $129 for 61–85" and from $179 for 86" and larger, plus $40 for each additional TV. Mounts from $39, cables hidden in a raceway for $39 or inside the wall for $69. No travel fee and no surcharge for stone or plaster.

Mill lofts, historic homes and brick ranches
Loray Mill lofts have thick exposed-brick walls and heavy timber. We drill solid brick faces with masonry anchors, never the mortar, and run cables in a raceway painted to disappear ($39). Brick vs. veneer.
York-Chester homes have plaster over lath. We confirm each stud with a test hole and drill slowly so the plaster doesn't crack. Studs behind plaster.
Brick ranches and new builds
Ranch homes often have a brick fireplace wall and paneled dens; newer subdivisions are standard wood studs and drywall. Each gets its own anchor, level and pull-tested. Drywall guide.
Loft paperwork
Loray Mill and other converted buildings want a certificate of insurance and a freight-elevator time. We send the COI ahead and book the elevator ourselves. Concrete and masonry.

What this means for your TV wall
Gastonia is an older housing stock than most of the Charlotte area: the median home dates from 1978 and 26.1% of units were built before 1960. So many visits start with a test hole behind plaster or boards. 67.6% are detached houses, yet 45.8% of homes are rented, so we plan plenty of renter-friendly installs with small holes and raceway instead of cutting walls. 45.6% heat mainly with utility gas, which puts a gas fireplace in many dens.

Game nights, dens and the fireplace question
Many of our calls come from dens getting a bigger screen for game nights. If the TV goes above a gas fireplace, we always run the logs at full flame first and read the wall where the screen will sit; our fireplace mounting service explains the steps. On brick, anchors go into solid faces, never mortar joints. Hidden cables run inside the wall for $69, but the power cord never travels in the wall by itself: we use a listed in-wall power kit, as covered in hiding TV wires in the wall.
Booking from Gastonia
Tell us screen sizes, the wall type if you know it and whether the fireplace is gas. Stepan's crew also covers Belmont and Mount Holly, and a 55-inch install starts at $119. Check every town we serve on the Charlotte region page.
From our Gastonia job log
A few jobs from the last months — the kind of walls and setups we see here most.
brick ranch den near Robinwood
We ran a full-flame burn test on the gas logs first, then set anchors into solid brick faces instead of joints and swung the screen toward the sofa side of the room.

new home near the FUSE District
The builder put the outlet low on another wall, so we added a listed in-wall power kit behind the screen and kept the cords out of sight.

TV mounting in Gastonia, NC: common questions
Can you mount a TV on exposed brick in a Loray Mill loft?
Yes. We drill into solid brick faces with masonry anchors and hide the cable in a painted raceway.
Can you mount on plaster in a York-Chester house?
Yes — slow drilling into confirmed studs, no cracks, test holes patched before we leave.
How much does TV mounting cost in Gastonia?
$119 up to 60 inches and $129 up to 85 inches, mounts from $39. Brick costs the same as drywall.
Do you charge extra to drive out to Gastonia?
No. Gastonia is well inside our service area around Charlotte, with no travel fee.
How soon can you come?
Usually the same day or the next, seven days a week, 8am–8pm.
I live in York-Chester. Does a TV need approval from the Historic District Commission?
A TV inside the house does not. The city asks for a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior changes in York-Chester and Brookwood, so the case to check is a screen, dish or wiring on a porch or wall that faces the street. Indoors we simply plan around plaster and original trim.
My Loray Mill Village cottage is small. Where should the TV go?
Most of these houses are 850 to 1,000 square feet, so the TV usually shares a wall with a window or a doorway. A full-motion mount lets one screen face the sofa or the kitchen. We check the old framing first.
I rent in Gastonia. Can you mount without big holes?
Yes. We use the smallest anchors that hold your screen, run cables in a paintable raceway rather than inside the wall and patch the holes when you move out.
