TV Mounting in Wake Forest, NC

Kinsley, Prestleigh and Rockport new builds

Most of our Wake Forest calls come from homes under fifteen years old. Kinsley packs 726 townhomes onto 209 acres just north of downtown, so our first question there is which wall touches the neighbor; that wall stays uncut, and the TV moves to an interior wall or a surface raceway. At The Reserve and The Townes at Prestleigh off Jones Dairy Road, family rooms tend to center on a gas fireplace, and every fireplace TV starts with our 20-minute burn and a surface reading. Rockport's wooded lots, up to 1.2 acres, invite screened porches, where Illia does much of his outdoor TV work. A 75-inch or larger screen always comes with a second technician from the nearest crew, so the lift is never a one-person job. A 65- or 75-inch TV is $129; each extra room adds $40.

Faculty Avenue, downtown and Glen Royall Mill Village

Wake Forest has four historic districts, three of them on the National Register: the Wake Forest Historic District, Glen Royall Mill Village and Downtown Wake Forest. The local district along Faculty Avenue, named for the professors who once lived there, became the town's first in 1979. Historic review there is aimed at exterior changes, so we keep every hole indoors and never add one through siding or brick. Downtown buildings date from 1890 to 1949, which means plaster, chimney breasts and paint old enough to hold lead. Illia drills only the anchor and cable holes, with a dust shroud, after a test hole finds solid backing. Cables usually go into paintable raceway; the TV's power cord itself never goes inside the wall, and in-wall power always means a listed in-wall kit. Send a quick request with a photo of the wall.
