Why Wall Type Matters for TV Mounting

Boston's housing stock spans 300+ years of construction techniques. Mounting a 75" OLED on a Beacon Hill brownstone brick wall requires completely different hardware than installing the same TV on drywall in a Seaport condo.

Using the wrong anchors or drilling technique can destroy expensive tile, crack historic plaster, or create safety hazards if the mount fails. Professional installers carry 15+ anchor types and specialized drill bits for every scenario.

⚠️ Boston Homeowner Warning

Many Boston homes have plaster walls with horsehair binding (pre-1940s). Standard drywall anchors will spin freely and fail. Always test wall type before drilling or hire a pro with plaster experience.
