Historic homes, new estates and media rooms
Historic homes have plaster over wood lath, deep trim and fireplaces with stone or tile surrounds. We drill slowly, anchor into studs behind the lath and anchor above fireplaces into the chimney breast. Studs behind plaster.
New estates have 20-foot family rooms, stone fireplaces and lower-level media rooms. We check heat and blocking, and bring two technicians for 86 inches and up ($179). Big TVs.
Frame TVs in formal rooms
Formal living rooms get a Samsung Frame: flush to the wall, art mode on, one thin cable inside ($69). Frame TVs.
Stone fireplaces in two-story rooms
A 20-foot stone fireplace puts the natural TV spot far too high. We talk through a pull-down mount ($99) or a better wall before drilling. TVs over fireplaces.

What this means for your TV wall
89.9% of Hinsdale homes are lived in by their owners, so a TV wall here is planned to stay for years. Age, not building type, sets the job. 28.5% of homes predate 1960: plaster, brick chimneys, fireplaces that still burn wood. The median year built is 1981, pulled forward by teardown-era houses with stone surrounds, tall great rooms and finished lower levels, and we plan each visit around which one we are walking into.
Robbins Park, the landmark list and old chimneys
East of downtown, the Robbins Park district and the village's landmark list hold the houses Hinsdale has chosen to keep, and the Village Board still adds to that list. Historic review here targets exterior changes; a TV on an interior wall leaves the facade alone. Chimney breasts are often plaster over brick, sometimes painted, so we drill only the anchor holes with dust collection and never sand or scrape. A test hole inside the bracket's footprint shows whether we hit brick or a later stud wall. On a plastered brick breast, plan on about two hours. Because so many of these fireplaces burn wood, the heat test uses your real fire. A new outlet behind the screen is a licensed electrician's job, and the TV's power cord never runs inside the wall. Details are on our fireplace TV page.

Teardown houses: great rooms and lower levels
A 2016 report found Hinsdale had sharply raised its demolition fee, and the new houses on those lots brought tall stone fireplaces and finished basements. Upstairs, height is the question. Every fireplace visit starts with a 20-minute burn at full output and a reading where you want the screen; about 1 in 8 comes back too hot. A pull-down mount often solves it ($99 assembly), so measure your mantel depth before you buy one: past 18 inches, no pull-down fits. The mantel mount page and our height tool help settle the spot. Downstairs, the media wall is usually drywall on furring over poured concrete; a 65- to 85-inch TV is $129. Cables often drop to the utility room. Our only Hinsdale video wall, a 2x1, went into one of these rooms. The same crew covers Naperville and Elmhurst.

TV mounting in Hinsdale, IL: common questions
Can you mount a TV in a historic Hinsdale home?
Yes. We drill plaster slowly and anchor into the studs behind the lath.
Can you mount a 98-inch TV in my media room?
Yes, with two technicians and a heavy-duty mount.
How much does TV mounting cost in Hinsdale?
$119 up to 60 inches, $129 up to 85 inches, no travel fee.
Do you serve Oak Brook and Burr Ridge?
Yes, at the same flat rates.
Can you install a Samsung Frame over the fireplace?
Yes, after a heat check, flush to the wall.
Our fireplace burns wood all winter. Can a TV go above it?
Often, yes. We light the fire you normally use and read the surface at the planned spot. Wood fires run hot and shed ash, so the answer may be a higher spot on a low tilt, or beside the chimney.
Our house is landmarked. Do we need approval to mount a TV?
Historic review in Hinsdale targets exterior changes, and a TV on an interior wall leaves the outside untouched; the plate covers our anchor holes. A new outlet or circuit is electrician work, and the electrician handles any village permit.
Can you build a two-screen wall in our basement?
Yes. Artem and a second technician built a 2x1 wall in a Hinsdale basement in about four and a half hours. If your basement has taken water, the controller goes on a shelf off the floor. Send photos through our quote form.
