TV Mounting in East Village, Manhattan

East Village tenement buildings were built fast and cheap in the late 1800s, which means the walls are often thinner than you expect and stud spacing can be irregular. We always stud-find before drilling and carry a full range of hollow-wall anchors as a backup — in tenement buildings, hitting solid wood is a bonus, not a guarantee.

Many East Village apartments are rentals, and tenants here are often budget-conscious about security deposit risk. We are efficient with our anchoring — we use the minimum number of holes needed for a safe, code-appropriate mount, and our technicians clean up completely before leaving.

For the newer condos and renovated buildings that have appeared throughout the East Village over the past two decades, we are equally comfortable with modern metal-stud drywall construction and can run in-wall cable management for a fully clean look.
