TV mounting in Carrboro 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 brick, stone or plaster.

Mill houses, apartments and townhomes
Old mill houses have plaster or plank walls on wood framing. We find the framing and mount into it, never the finish alone. Studs behind plaster.
Apartments and townhomes are drywall on wood studs with shared walls. Studs on your side, a removable raceway ($39). Mounting in an apartment.
When the lease says no holes
If drilling is not allowed, a floor stand or a no-drill option can work; we will tell you honestly which TVs it suits. Without drilling, renter-friendly cables.
Small rooms, flexible TV
In a small apartment a full-motion arm ($69) turns the TV toward the sofa, the desk or the kitchen. Tilt vs. swivel.

What this means for your TV wall
Carrboro is mostly a renters' town: 56.5% of homes are rented, and 30.8% sit in buildings of 5 to 19 units, the garden-apartment blocks along Jones Ferry Road. For a TV that means wood-stud drywall, a neighbor behind at least one wall and a lease to read first. With 43.6% of homes built between 1980 and 1999, most walls are easy, but anything older than 1978 gets our lead-safe drilling routine, explained below.
Garden apartments along Jones Ferry Road
Collins Crossing at 501 Jones Ferry Road shows the pattern: 268 units of 840 to 1,150 square feet, built in phases from 1971 to 1985. Rooms that size leave one sensible TV wall in the living room, and it is often the one shared with the next unit. Most of these living rooms suit a 55-inch or 65-inch screen on a tilting mount. We read the lease and the building's rules before the van leaves Durham, anchor into two studs, and keep cables in a paintable baseboard raceway ($39) rather than opening drywall you do not own. The 1970s phases get our pre-1978 paint routine: anchor holes only, a dust shroud on the drill, no scraping. When the lease ends, book a take-down and patch ($49) before the move-out walk-through.

Mill Village frame houses near Carr Mill
Carr Mill Mall was a working textile mill, nearly demolished in the 1970s before residents pushed to save it, and the Carrboro Commercial Historic District around it counts 12 contributing buildings. The streets near downtown, Mill Village among them, keep small frame houses, some from the 1940s and listed as UNC off-campus rentals. A 1947 house most likely has plaster on gypsum rock lath, which drills cleaner than wood lath, so Danylo makes one test hole inside the bracket's footprint, finds the studs and anchors through the plaster into wood. About 1 in 8 pre-1960 houses we visit still have a two-prong outlet at the TV spot; we stop there, and a licensed electrician fits the new one. Our cable concealment page explains in-wall and raceway routes, and the TV power cord never goes inside the wall without a listed in-wall power kit.

TV mounting in Carrboro, NC: common questions
I rent in Carrboro — can I mount a TV?
Usually yes with the landlord's okay. We mount into studs only, use a removable raceway and can patch at move-out.
What if my lease does not allow holes?
Then we look at no-drill options like a floor stand, and tell you honestly whether your TV is a good fit for one.
How much does TV mounting cost in Carrboro?
$119 up to 60 inches, $69 for a full-motion mount and $39 for a cable raceway.
Can you mount a TV in an old mill house?
Yes. We find the framing behind the plaster or planks and mount into it, patching any test holes.
How soon can you come to Carrboro?
Usually the same day or the next, seven days a week.
Can you mount a TV in a Collins Crossing apartment?
Yes, once your landlord says okay in writing. The units have wood studs behind the drywall, so the mount goes into two of them and cables ride in raceway. Mention your building and floor when booking so we bring the right hardware.
Will a 1940s Mill Village wall hold a 75-inch TV?
Yes, because the weight goes into the studs behind the plaster, not the plaster itself. Every TV of 75 inches or more comes with a second technician for the lift, and we patch our test holes before leaving.
Do you mount TVs in Carr Mill Mall shops and offices?
Yes. We confirm with the property manager first, anchor into the partition framing and can come before opening hours. Send a photo of the wall through our quote form and you will have a flat price the same day.
