A TV in a hundred-year-old house
Almost all of old South Pasadena is Craftsman and Victorian stock with lath behind the plaster. A panel on plastic anchors here hangs until the first hard door slam. So:
- Studs only — found with a detector, reading through the false positives that century-old plaster loves to give; stud spacing wanders in these homes.
- One precise hole per fixing point — in a house cherished for generations, every extra hole is a scar.
- Brick fireplaces: living rooms were built around them, and that is where people want the TV. We assess honestly — structure, heat, viewing height. Brick means masonry anchors and the +$40 from the price list, visible up front.
- In a family town, a wall-mounted panel is also a safety feature: a TV on the wall cannot tip over. We will strap the media console down while we are at it, free.
The 1950s homes in Monterey Hills are standard drywall: quick mounting, no surprises.
