1930s house in Hollywood Lakes
Old paint on the surround meant lead-safe drilling: tape, a HEPA vacuum at the bit, and anchors in the masonry, not the mortar.

Hollywood is one of the oldest towns we serve, platted by Joseph Young in 1921, and its walls show it: hollow clay tile, plaster on block, old paint. Yevhen covers most of our Hollywood visits, often the same day, and confirms a flat price after one look at the wall.
TV mounting in Hollywood 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 concrete block.
Hollywood Lakes homes are 1920s–40s block or hollow clay tile with plaster, a few with wood-frame second floors. We treat each wall on its own — tile needs longer anchors set into the web, block takes standard sleeve anchors, framed walls take lag bolts.
Beach and Broadwalk condos are concrete with steel partitions and salt air on every balcony. Inside, snap-toggles or concrete anchors; outside, stainless only.
Emerald Hills and Hillcrest are larger block homes with framed interior walls — good for in-wall cables and big family-room screens.
Many Broadwalk units are rented by the week. We install with tamper-resistant hardware, keep cables in raceways and work around the building's rules for contractors — condo mounting.
Covered patios in Emerald Hills and around the lakes get stainless hardware and sealed cable entries — outdoor TVs.
Restaurants and bars around Young Circle and Hollywood Boulevard call us for multi-TV walls and menu boards. We use tamper-resistant hardware, route cables in conduit or raceway that passes inspection and schedule before opening. Commercial jobs are quoted per project.
Emerald Hills family rooms are big and often have a fireplace or built-ins. We check the heat above the mantel, anchor into the structure behind built-ins rather than the cabinet itself, and keep the screen near seated eye level.
72,843 homes and about 155,082 residents. The age and type of a home decide what is behind the drywall, so we check this before we quote.

U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates: year built, units in structure, tenure.
Hollywood's homes are among the oldest we serve: the median year built is 1969, and 27.8% of units went up before 1960. Expect plaster, hollow clay tile and block far more often than drywall, so we check what sits behind the surface before choosing an anchor. Another 30.2% of units are in buildings of 20 or more, where the association sets drill hours and decides whether a wall may be opened at all.
A Hollywood wall usually gives away its age before the stud finder does, and the age decides the hardware. City preservation staff describe the earliest vernacular houses as wood frame or masonry, with block and clay tile finished in stucco, so two homes on one Lakes street can need different anchors. In hollow tile, Yevhen sets long anchors into the tile web; in the 1950s–70s block houses of Hollywood Hills, sleeve anchors go into the web of the block, never a mortar joint. Many of those 1960s houses also have drywall on furring strips over the block, so the mount needs a spacer. Old paint is the other issue: in any home built before 1978 we treat it as possible lead paint and drill through tape with a HEPA vacuum at the bit. Our plaster wall guide explains the slow pre-drilling.

In the Lakes Area historic district, the Historic Preservation Board's Certificate of Appropriateness covers exterior changes such as new windows, so for a patio TV we look for a cable route that stays inside. Older condo buildings around Young Circle go through a 40-year recertification with engineering reports, and boards in the middle of one rarely approve opening a wall. Beach towers guard their balconies just as closely. Send your building's contractor rules with the request; Yevhen brings the certificate of insurance the manager asks for. Hurricane season runs until November 30, and the American Planning Association counts 18 hurricanes within 60 miles of the city from 1876 to 2005, so we also take patio TVs down before a storm and re-hang them after. A full-motion arm is $69; a painted raceway is $39. Send a request for a same-day slot.

No opened walls allowed, so the arm went on the living-room block wall with a painted raceway along the baseboard.

Drywall on furring strips over hollow block: Yevhen found the block webs for sleeve anchors and bridged the gap with a spacer.
