Brick apartment buildings, old mansions and new mid-rises
1920s brick apartment buildings have plaster over lath on interior walls and plaster straight on brick or clay tile on exterior walls. We figure out which one we're drilling before we start — lath takes a stud, masonry takes a masonry anchor. Brick vs. veneer.
New mid-rise apartments have wood or light-gauge steel studs and thin drywall. Lag bolts in wood, snap-toggles in steel, and a removable raceway ($39). Metal studs.
Renter-friendly installs
Most leases here allow a few holes but no in-wall wiring. A fixed or tilting mount into studs and a paintable raceway is the clean, reversible setup; a dismount at move-out ($49) includes patching. Renter-friendly cables.
Mansions near Volunteer Park
The big houses on Millionaire's Row have plaster, tall ceilings and original fireplaces. We confirm each stud, drill slowly and hide the cables inside the wall ($69). Studs behind plaster.

U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates: year built, units in structure, tenure. Census figures for ZIP Code 98102 — there is no separate Census boundary for Capitol Hill.
What this means for your TV wall
Census figures show 49.2% of Capitol Hill homes sit in buildings of 20+ units and 73.0% are rented, so most of our visits here start with a lease or a condo board, not a stud finder. Another 37.7% of homes date from before 1960, which is why brick exterior walls, plaster on clay tile and old paint are routine for us. We plan the mount, the anchor and the cable route around the building first, then the screen.
Harvard-Belmont, landmark courtyards and what review covers
The mansion blocks of Harvard-Belmont, around Summit Avenue East, form a city historic district, and owners often ask whether a TV needs sign-off. The district's guidelines require a Certificate of Approval only for exterior changes visible from a street, alley or public way. A living-room TV is interior work and never goes before the Landmarks board; an outdoor screen on a street-facing porch or conduit along the facade might, so we keep those plans out of public view.
Inside these big houses, about 3 in 4 TV walls we meet are plaster over wood lath. Nazar locates the studs through it, measures the plaster's thickness and only then promises an in-wall run. In homes built before 1978 he limits the work to two palm-sized cuts, vacuums at the drill bit and skips sanding. Read finding studs behind plaster or see cable concealment.

Parking, walk-ups and booking around Capitol Hill Station
Blocks near the light-rail station sit in Restricted Parking Zone 32, where cars without a permit get two hours, Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.; nearby Zone 15 allows four. An in-wall run can outlast that, so share your cross street and we will book a loading zone or four-hour block.
The 1920s brick walk-ups seldom have elevators. A boxed 75-inch screen is awkward on a narrow stair, and any TV of 86 inches or more arrives with two technicians. In a condo, the association's asbestos survey comes before any cut; without one, a painted raceway ($39) is the quick route.
Requests that reach us before noon get a same-day slot about two times in three, and a 61- to 85-inch TV mounts for a flat $129. Send a request or compare walls in Queen Anne.

TV mounting in Capitol Hill, WA: common questions
Can I mount a TV in my Capitol Hill apartment?
Usually yes with the landlord's okay. We use studs or masonry anchors and a removable raceway, and patch the holes at move-out if you book a dismount.
My wall is plaster on brick — can you still mount?
Yes. Masonry anchors go into solid brick, drilled slowly so the plaster doesn't crack.
How much does TV mounting cost on Capitol Hill?
$119 up to 60 inches and $129 up to 85 inches, mounts from $39. No travel fee and no stair surcharge.
My building has metal studs — is that a problem?
No. Snap-toggles rated well above the TV hold firmly in steel studs.
How soon can you come?
Usually the same day or the next, seven days a week, 8am–8pm.
Does my Harvard-Belmont house need Landmarks approval for a TV?
Not for an indoor TV. Harvard-Belmont review covers only work visible from a street, alley or public way, so an outdoor screen on a street-facing porch or conduit on the facade could first need a Certificate of Approval.
Is a full-motion arm safe on a 1920s brick wall?
Yes, when the anchors sit in solid brick faces rather than mortar. Nazar drills slowly through the plaster, sets sleeve anchors in sound brick and straps every articulating arm. Cracked brick at TV height means we move the anchors lower.
Can you hide the TV cord inside my plaster wall?
Not the TV's own cord, since code keeps power cords out of walls. We fit a listed in-wall power kit fed from your existing outlet. If the plaster is too thick for the recessed box, a painted raceway takes over.
