Midtown condo tower
The association wanted our insurance certificate and a weekday elevator slot; Illia used sleeve anchors and hung the soundbar from the TV bracket.

North Hills grew from a 1960s shopping mall into Midtown's cluster of condo and apartment towers, ringed by brick ranches built when the mall was new. Illia's North Raleigh crew handles both: poured-concrete walls with building rules, and dens with raised brick hearths, usually the same day you call.
TV mounting in North Hills 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.
Midtown condo towers are concrete with metal-stud partitions. Concrete anchors or snap-toggles, and the COI and elevator booked before we arrive. Concrete walls.
Townhomes and renovated ranches are drywall on wood studs. Lag bolts into two studs and cables inside the wall ($69) to an outlet behind the TV. Hiding cables.
The most common North Hills request: a Samsung Frame flush on the wall in art mode, with the One Connect box tucked into a cabinet and one thin cable inside the wall. Frame TVs.
Dens and bonus rooms get 75- to 85-inch TVs on heavy-duty mounts, with a second technician for the lift. 85-inch TVs.
20,140 homes and about 35,573 residents. The age and type of a home decide what is behind the drywall, so we check this before we quote.
50% owner-occupied · 50% rented
U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates: year built, units in structure, tenure. Census figures for ZIP Code 27609 — there is no separate Census boundary for North Hills.
Half of the 27609 area rents (50.2%), and 24.0% of homes sit in buildings of 20 or more units — the Midtown towers, where the TV wall is usually poured concrete or a steel-stud partition. Around them, 41.2% of homes date from 1960 to 1979: brick ranches and split-levels on wood studs, often with a masonry fireplace and paint old enough that we drill only the holes we need, under a dust shroud, and never sand.
North Hills was the first enclosed mall between Atlanta and Washington. The old mall site now carries towers such as Highland, 12 stories and 287 units, and The Walter, while The Strand, a 20-story building with 362 units, is due in summer 2027. Each association sets its own contractor rules, so our work starts days before the visit: the insurance certificate in the association's name, a service-elevator window from the front desk, a check on weekend limits. On the day, Illia confirms the wall with a test hole. Concrete gets sleeve anchors; a steel-stud partition gets snap-toggles. Most Midtown owners put the soundbar on the TV bracket, so the concrete is drilled once. HDMI goes in a paintable raceway, while the power cord plugs straight into the outlet and never shares that channel. See cable concealment for the options.

Step a few blocks from the towers and the houses turn one-story and brick. Many of these 1960s and 1970s dens have a raised hearth with brick climbing to the ceiling, which pushes the natural TV spot up. Every fireplace job starts with a 20-minute burn at full output and a surface reading where the bottom of the screen will sit; if it reads hot, the TV goes higher on a tilt or onto the side wall. Anchors go into the faces of the brick, never the mortar, and painted brick is never sanded. If you want the screen lower, a pull-down mount works when the mantel is shallow enough; Illia has fitted them over Stonehenge hearths much like these. Check your eye level with our height tool, then send a request with a photo of the wall and the mantel depth.
A few jobs from the last months — the kind of walls and setups we see here most.

After the burn test, the raised hearth still put the screen high, so Illia tilted it down, anchored into brick faces and brought a second technician.

The planned wall was shared with the next unit, so Illia mounted on the side wall and angled the arm toward the kitchen.
