Old Northwood, 1925 house
The owner first wanted the cable outside along the chimney, which needs historic review. Marian kept it indoors: anchors in the brick face, raceway down the surround.

TV Mounting in West Palm Beach, FL
In West Palm Beach a TV goes on one of two very different walls: brick and plaster in the 1920s houses of Old Northwood, Grandview Heights and El Cid, and concrete or steel studs in the towers along Rosemary Avenue. Marian handles both, often same-day, at a flat price quoted first.
TV mounting in West Palm Beach 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.

Mounting TVs in West Palm Beach historic homes and downtown condos
Historic homes in El Cid, Flamingo Park and Prospect Park are wood frame or hollow tile with plaster over lath. Stud finders give nonsense readings; we find studs by the lath nails with a magnet and use long lag bolts — plaster walls and mounts for plaster.
Northwood bungalows are smaller wood-frame houses, often remodeled — some drywall, some original plaster, sometimes both on one wall.
Downtown towers are concrete with steel studs; COI, elevator and building rules — condo mounting.
Fireplaces in historic living rooms
Many 1920s homes have an original fireplace. We check the brick and the heat, anchor into solid masonry or the framing above, and suggest a lower or pull-down solution when needed.
Waterfront condos on Flagler Drive
Condos facing the Intracoastal get strong morning light; we place the TV to avoid glare and use stainless hardware on balconies — outdoor TVs.
Northwood bungalows and small living rooms
Northwood's bungalows have compact living rooms, so a slim fixed mount, a soundbar on its own bracket and a floating shelf replace a bulky console. Where the wall is original plaster, we route cables down a corner in a paintable raceway.
Downtown rentals
Rental units near Rosemary Square and the Brightline station get tamper-resistant hardware and removable cable management, with installs scheduled between tenants.

What this means for your TV wall
The Census explains why no two visits here look alike. 20.6% of homes predate 1960, many on boom-era streets with plaster on wood lath or hollow clay tile, while 30.6% sit in buildings of 20 or more units, which means poured concrete and steel-stud partitions. Only 4.6% heat mainly with utility gas, second only to Boca Raton among the big cities we serve, so we bring a surface thermometer to every gas or wood fireplace wall.
Old Northwood chimneys and El Cid plaster
Between 1920 and 1927 the city's population quadrupled, and much of that boom still stands. The National Register file for Old Northwood counts 435 buildings, most contributing ones from 1921 to 1926, walled in wood, stucco and brick, and several 1925 houses carry an exterior chimney. That chimney wall is usually where the TV wants to go. The brick face around the firebox takes anchors well, as long as they bite the brick and never a mortar joint; where El Cid plaster hides hollow clay tile, the anchor goes into the web of the tile. Nine of our visits here have included a fireplace, and every gas or wood one got a heat reading before we marked a hole. A high mantel may call for a pull-down mount ($99 to assemble). Check the screen's height with our height tool, then book a fireplace TV install.

Downtown towers around Rosemary Avenue
Downtown is the other half of the city. 575 Rosemary rises 21 stories with 364 residences, Soleste Palm Station adds 321 rental units, and One West Palm tops out at 30 stories. Behind the drywall in these towers you meet poured concrete and steel studs, so Marian brings snap-toggles rated for metal studs plus a hammer drill. Send us the management office's email and we arrange the certificate of insurance and the service elevator before the visit. About half of our 25 concealment jobs here ended as raceway, where the wall was solid concrete or a fire-rated party wall. The TV's power cord never goes inside a wall: in-wall setups get a listed power kit or an electrician's outlet. A 65-inch, the region's most common size, is $129; request a same-day slot and add cable concealment to hide the HDMI.
From our West Palm Beach job log
A few jobs from the last months — the kind of walls and setups we see here most.
El Cid, 1920s house
Pre-1978 painted plaster meant lead-safe drilling. The thick plaster would not seat a recessed box, so a low-voltage pass-through plate carries the HDMI.

Downtown tower off Rosemary Avenue
The building required a certificate of insurance and a booked service elevator. Snap-toggles span two steel studs; a listed in-wall power kit feeds the TV.

On-site notes from West Palm Beach jobs
- Plaster over lath cracks when drilled fast — tape, sharp bits, slow speed.
- Historic districts need no permit for interior TV mounting, but exterior work may need review.
- Downtown parking is easier before 10am.
- El Cid and Flamingo Park homes often have original hardwood floors — we lay drop cloths before bringing ladders in.

TV mounting in West Palm Beach, FL: common questions
How much does TV mounting cost in West Palm Beach?
$119 up to 60 inches and $129 for 61–85 inches, mounts from $39. No travel fee.
Can you mount a TV on a 1920s plaster wall?
Yes. We find the studs through the lath and use long lag bolts into the framing.
Do you work in downtown condo towers?
Yes, with COI, elevator booking and building-hour scheduling.
Can you mount a TV above an old brick fireplace?
Usually, after checking the masonry and the heat.
Same-day in West Palm Beach?
Often, especially with a morning booking.
Does a historic district review indoor TV work?
No, indoor work is not reviewed. The city requires a Certificate of Appropriateness only for exterior changes, the back of the house included, so a TV on an outside wall or patio structure gets checked with preservation staff first.
Can a TV go above gas logs?
Usually, after a heat test. Marian lights the fire and reads the wall where the screen's bottom edge would sit; about 1 in 4 readings send the TV higher, onto a pull-down mount or to a side wall.
Can renters downtown skip opening the wall?
Yes. We mount to the concrete or steel studs and run the HDMI lines in a paintable raceway ($39) that comes off at move-out, leaving only a few small holes to fill. Check your lease's drilling rules first.
