Boulevard greystones, three-flats and garden units
Greystones and three-flats have plaster over wood lath inside and brick party walls. Plaster gets slow drilling and anchors into the studs behind the lath; brick gets sleeve anchors in the brick faces. Brick and masonry.
Garden units have one or two walls that are the building's brick or concrete foundation under drywall. We confirm which wall is masonry before choosing anchors, and keep electronics off damp exterior walls.
Condo conversions
Converted condos often mix new drywall on some walls with original plaster on others — we check each wall. Cables go inside new drywall ($69) or along plaster in a painted raceway ($39). Raceway guide.
Bars and restaurants on Milwaukee Avenue
Sports TVs over the bar and menu screens go up before opening. Old brick walls get sleeve anchors, and cables run in slim raceways painted to match.

What this means for your TV wall
With a median year built of 1938 and 65.5% of homes built before 1960, most TV walls here are plaster over wood lath or brick, rarely plain drywall. Another 44.1% of units sit in two- to four-unit buildings, so many living rooms share a brick party wall with the neighbors. We plan for test holes, slow drilling, anchors set in the brick faces and a cable route around the radiator under the window.
Inside and outside the boulevard landmark district
The Logan Square Boulevards district runs 2.5 miles along Logan, Kedzie, Palmer and Humboldt boulevards, and most of its buildings went up between about 1880 and 1930. It became a Chicago Landmark in 2005, so changes to a building's exterior go through city landmark review. A TV in your front parlor or bedroom is interior work and does not touch that review. A screen on a street-facing porch or a bracket on the facade is another matter: get the city's approval first, then book us for the day after. Bedford limestone on a boulevard greystone is a facing laid over brick, not structure, so no bracket ever hangs on the stone. Inside, Pavlo finds studs behind the lath with small test holes, as our plaster guide shows, or anchors straight into solid brick.

New apartments behind old Milwaukee Avenue storefronts
Milwaukee Avenue is changing fast near the Blue Line, where transit-oriented zoning rules relaxed limits close to the station. The old Hollander Storage & Moving building at 2418 N. Milwaukee is set to become 62 apartments over shops, a six-story building at 2755 N. Milwaukee adds 60 more, and at 1968 N. Milwaukee new homes rose behind the kept Weyland Building facade. These units have new drywall rather than plaster, so a visit is often closer to an hour. Cables are the usual question. Inside city limits we run in-wall cables with our licensed low-voltage partner, and the TV's power goes through a listed in-wall kit, never its own cord. Where the lease rules out openings, a slim painted raceway costs $39. Read about cable concealment, compare lofts in Wicker Park, or send us a photo of the wall.

TV mounting in Logan Square, IL: common questions
Can you mount a TV in my Logan Square garden unit?
Yes. We check which walls are masonry and use the right anchors for each.
Can you hide the cables in a condo conversion with plaster walls?
Yes — inside new drywall or in a painted raceway along the plaster.
How much does TV mounting cost in Logan Square?
$119 up to 60 inches, $129 up to 85 inches, no travel fee.
Do you install TVs in bars and restaurants?
Yes, before opening hours, anchored in brick with cables in raceways.
Can you mount on a brick party wall?
Yes, with sleeve anchors in solid brick, never the mortar.
Is drilling old painted plaster safe?
Homes built before 1978 probably contain lead paint, the city's health department warns. We drill only the anchor holes, with a dust-collecting attachment under the bit, and never sand or scrape the paint. Bigger renovations belong with an EPA-certified contractor.
Can you take the TV down when I move out?
Yes. When the lease ends we remove the TV and mount for $49, leaving only anchor holes to patch. If you are just moving across the neighborhood, we can often hang the same TV at your new place that day.
Can you mount over the marble fireplace in my greystone front room?
Usually. About 1 in 3 city fireplaces we mount over are decorative or sealed; we confirm whether yours is ever lit, and a gas one gets a 20-minute burn at full output first. A test hole through the plaster finds the brick before anchors go in.
