Plaster-walled house in the downtown historic district
Test holes hidden behind the plate found the studs; the plaster was too thick for a recessed box, so cables went into raceway.

Goldsboro has three kinds of TV wall: plaster in the 46-block historic district downtown, 1960s and 1970s brick ranches in Mar-Mac and Greenleaf, and new drywall off Berkeley Boulevard and US-70. Yaroslav comes over from our Garner crew, often the same day, ready for all three at one flat price.
TV mounting in Goldsboro 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.
Brick ranches and rentals near the base are wood-framed with drywall or paneling. Lag bolts into two studs; a removable raceway ($39) in rentals. Mounting in an apartment.
Walnut Creek lake homes have fireplaces and covered decks toward the water. Heat check first, and outdoor-rated TVs with stainless hardware outside. Outdoor TVs.
Before the movers come we take the TVs down ($49 each), bag and label the hardware and patch the holes. At the new place we check the old mounts fit the new TVs. Will your mount fit?.
Airmen moving into their first rental usually want one TV mounted clean, with nothing left behind at the end of the lease. Drywall guide, TVs over fireplaces.
17,984 homes and about 37,634 residents. The age and type of a home decide what is behind the drywall, so we check this before we quote.

In Goldsboro, 31.1% of homes were built from 1960 to 1979, so the usual TV wall is drywall or paneling on wood studs, often next to a brick fireplace. Another 23.5% predate 1960, which brings plaster and old paint into the older blocks downtown, where test holes come before any anchor. With 44.0% of homes rented, many of our jobs here end in a removable raceway that a landlord will sign off on.
Goldsboro's local historic district spans 46 blocks of buildings from 1840 to 1939, and exterior changes there need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Planning Department. A TV on an inside wall changes nothing outside, so most downtown visits need no paperwork at all. A new cable hole through siding or a TV on a street-facing porch is different: ask the city first, since staff approve Minor Works any time while Major Works go to the commission's monthly meeting.
Inside, expect plaster on wood lath and tall ceilings. Yaroslav, seven years on the Triangle's oldest plaster, drills small test holes hidden within the bracket's footprint and anchors into the studs. If the TV spot has a two-prong outlet, he stops there and your electrician takes over. Our plaster stud guide explains the method.

Most new building in Goldsboro is on the west side, along Berkeley Boulevard and US-70, where 2026 custom homes are listed in Stonewood Estates and Northview. Those are drywall on wood studs, but about 1 in 5 TV walls we open in post-2000 houses are framed 24 inches on center, so we locate each stud before picking a mount. A 61- to 85-inch TV is $129; wires hidden behind the drywall with a listed power kit add $69, because the TV's own cord must never run inside a wall.
Mar-Mac and Greenleaf lean toward 1960s and 1970s ranches, many with a brick fireplace in the den. Every fireplace TV starts with a 20-minute burn and a surface reading; if it runs hot, the TV goes higher on a tilt or beside the hearth. Book a visit today.
