TV Mounting in Aurora, IL
Aurora holds two kinds of house. Pattern-book Victorians fill the Near Eastside, Tanner and Palace Street districts, and Riddle Highlands keeps its 1920s period revivals; east, Stonebridge and the Route 59 subdivisions spread across the Fox Valley. Artem's DuPage crew mounts on both, often the day you call, at a flat price.
TV mounting in Aurora 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 plaster or brick.

Historic homes by the river and Fox Valley subdivisions
Historic homes on the Near Eastside have plaster over wood lath and irregular studs. We find the studs with test holes, drill slowly and use a wide mount when they don't match the TV. Studs behind plaster.
Fox Valley and Stonebridge homes have drywall on wood studs, family-room fireplaces and basements. Lag bolts upstairs, masonry anchors on the basement's concrete walls. Concrete walls.
Apartments and townhomes
Complexes along Route 59 and near the mall limit wall work. Two small holes into the studs and a paintable raceway ($39). Apartment mounting.
Downtown restaurants and bars
Old brick buildings downtown host restaurants, bars and the casino area. We anchor into solid brick and run cables in painted raceways before opening hours.

What this means for your TV wall
Aurora's housing straddles eras. 24.9% of homes predate 1960, which in practice means plaster over lath and brick chimney breasts in the historic districts on both banks, while 32.7% went up in 1980-99, the drywall-and-stud subdivisions east of the river. And 33.6% of households rent, so about 2 in 5 of our Aurora concealment jobs end in paintable raceway rather than an opened wall. Before we quote, we ask what year your house went up.
Historic-district walls: plaster, brick, gas logs
In Riddle Highlands, the Near Eastside, Tanner and Palace Street, the TV wall is usually plaster on lath, and the chimney breast often hides solid brick under its plaster. Artem drills a test hole inside the bracket's footprint first, so the finished plate hides it later. Anchors go into the brick faces, never the mortar joints, and painted brick is drilled with dust collection only, never sanded. A gas fireplace gets a 20-minute burn at full flame and a surface reading before any TV goes above it. About 1 in 3 of our Aurora fireplace TVs hang over original historic-district brick. Aurora's Certificate of Appropriateness covers changes to a building's exterior appearance, so an interior TV wall needs no Preservation Commission review; a porch TV on a landmark house might.

Subdivision walls and Aurora's metal-box rule
Stonebridge, Oakhurst, Ginger Woods and Palomino Springs bring drywall on wood studs, two-story family rooms and basements framed over poured concrete. Hidden cables are routine here, with one Aurora twist: the city's 2023 electrical amendments delete NM cable, allow MC only in listed cases and bar plastic boxes. Some recessed TV kits ship with plastic boxes, so a new outlet behind the screen means a registered electrician sets a metal one first. Our part is the low-voltage side, HDMI and network through the same stud bay, with power through a listed in-wall kit, because the TV's own cord never goes inside the wall. In-wall concealment is $69, and mounting a 65- or 75-inch set is $129. Naperville next door works under its own rules, so we plan each town separately. More on hidden cables.
From our Aurora job log
A few jobs from the last months — the kind of walls and setups we see here most.
Fox Valley subdivision near Route 59
The kit on hand had a plastic box, which Aurora bars, so the owner's registered electrician set a metal one first.

Stonebridge finished basement
Furring was too shallow for lags, so masonry anchors went into the poured wall behind it and the HDMI dropped to the utility room.

TV mounting in Aurora, IL: common questions
Can I book in Spanish?
Yes. The calculator and our text messages work in English and Spanish.
Can you mount a TV in a historic Aurora home?
Yes. We drill plaster slowly and anchor into the studs.
How much does TV mounting cost in Aurora?
$119 up to 60 inches, $129 up to 85 inches, no travel fee.
Can you mount a TV in my apartment without opening the wall?
Yes, with a paintable raceway for $39.
Can you mount over my fireplace?
Usually yes, after a heat check. TVs over fireplaces.
How soon can you come to Aurora?
Usually the same day or the next, seven days a week from 8am to 8pm. Our west crew works the Fox Valley daily, so North Aurora and Montgomery get the same schedule.
Does a TV in a Near Eastside landmark house need city approval?
Not indoors. Aurora's Certificate of Appropriateness covers work that changes a property's exterior appearance. A porch TV, a mount on siding or a cable entry through an outside wall can fall under it, so check with the city first.
Can you add an outlet behind the TV?
That part belongs to an electrician registered with Aurora's Division of Building and Permits, using a metal box and the wiring the city's amendments allow. We book our visit right after theirs, so the TV goes up the same week.
How fast can I get a firm price for my Aurora wall?
Send a quote request with the TV size, a wall photo and whether a fireplace sits below. You get a flat price and a time window, often the same afternoon when Artem's crew is on its west run.
