Get a Free Quote Call (347) 934-8335Weeksville stretches two miles along Eastern Parkway — the tree-lined boulevard designed by Frederick Law Olmsted — and contains one of the most architecturally diverse building stocks in Brooklyn. North of Eastern Parkway, you’ll find Victorian brownstones and limestone rowhouses on St. Marks Avenue, Dean Street, and Bergen Street with original plaster walls, high ceilings, and decorative fireplace mantels. South of the parkway, grand pre-war apartment buildings and Art Deco co-ops line the boulevard itself, while newer condo developments have risen along Franklin Avenue and Nostrand Avenue. Each building type presents different wall conditions and different mounting challenges.

Weeksville’ mix of building eras creates a wall-type diversity that demands professional expertise.
Weeksville North — between Atlantic Avenue and Eastern Parkway — is filled with 1880s to 1910s brownstones and limestone rowhouses along St. Marks Avenue, Dean Street, President Street, and Bergen Street. These walls are plaster over wood lath, brittle and thick, with stud finders giving unreliable readings. Toggle bolts and controlled pre-drilling are essential to prevent cracking and ensure a secure mount.
Eastern Parkway itself is lined with large pre-war co-ops and apartment buildings built in the 1920s and 1930s — some resembling Park Avenue developments in Manhattan. These buildings have a mix of thick plaster walls, concrete party walls between units, and sometimes original tile or decorative stone in common areas. Wall assessment before drilling is critical in these structures.
Franklin Avenue south of Eastern Parkway has transformed into one of Brooklyn’s trendiest corridors, with new boutique condo buildings featuring metal stud framing, floor-to-ceiling windows, and open layouts. Standard wood-stud lag bolts won’t hold in metal studs. Our technicians carry snap toggles and metal stud anchors rated for every TV size.
Weeksville’ rowhouses — particularly the grand homes along St. Marks Avenue and the blocks near Grant Square — frequently feature decorative parlor-floor fireplaces. Above-fireplace TV mounting requires masonry anchoring into the brick chimney breast, heat clearance assessment, and a tilt or pull-down mount for comfortable viewing angles.
Weeksville includes several NYCHA developments with poured concrete and cinder block walls. Standard mounting hardware fails on these surfaces. We use hammer drills with masonry bits and concrete sleeve anchors specifically rated for the wall types found in public housing construction.
Franklin Avenue, Nostrand Avenue, Kingston Avenue, and Utica Avenue are Weeksville’ primary commercial strips. Restaurants, barbershops, Caribbean bakeries, juice bars, and retail shops need professional TV installations — ceiling mounts, multi-screen setups, and commercial-grade cable management that holds up to daily business use.
Every mount type, every TV size, every wall surface.
Low-profile, TV flat against the wall. Most affordable. Works on all surfaces. Ideal for bedrooms in Weeksville apartments and pre-war units where viewing angle is fixed.
Up to 15 degrees downward tilt. Reduces glare from Weeksville’ large pre-war windows along Eastern Parkway. Essential for above-fireplace installations in brownstone parlor floors with high ceilings.
Extends, swivels, tilts. Perfect for open-layout new-construction condos on Franklin Avenue where seating faces multiple directions. Pull the TV out, angle it, push it back flush.
Suspends from ceiling. Popular in Weeksville commercial spaces — Caribbean restaurants on Nostrand, barbershops on Utica, retail on Kingston Avenue.
Proprietary flush mount displays art when off. Popular in Weeksville’ design-forward brownstone renovations and new Franklin Avenue condos. We conceal the One Connect Box behind furniture or within the wall.
Specialty mount for Weeksville’ parlor-floor fireplaces. Pull TV down to eye level, push back above mantel. We also handle outdoor TV installation for Weeksville rooftop decks and backyard patios. Heat-deflecting hardware when needed for functional fireplaces.
We mount and configure every major television brand.

We install TVs throughout all of Weeksville, from the grand brownstones and limestone rowhouses along St. Marks Avenue, Dean Street, President Street, and Bergen Street north of Eastern Parkway, to the pre-war apartment towers lining the parkway itself between Washington Avenue and Utica Avenue.
Our technicians regularly work in buildings along Franklin Avenue, Nostrand Avenue, Kingston Avenue, Brooklyn Avenue, New York Avenue, and Rogers Avenue. We’ve mounted TVs near the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brower Park, Lincoln Terrace Park, the Weeksville Heritage Center, and Grant Square. Whether you’re near the Franklin Avenue 2/3/4/5 station, the Nostrand Avenue 3 stop, the Kingston Avenue station, or the Weeksville–Utica Avenue 3/4 terminal, we service your area.
Weeksville spans approximately one mile wide and two miles long — one of Brooklyn’s largest neighborhoods. Every Labor Day, Eastern Parkway hosts the West Indian American Day Parade, drawing millions to the boulevard that defines this neighborhood. We’ve installed TVs in buildings on nearly every block of that two-mile stretch.
Real questions from Weeksville residents, answered by licensed installers.
Standard drywall installation in Weeksville is $185. Pre-war plaster walls — common in the brownstones and rowhouses north of Eastern Parkway — start at $215 due to specialized anchoring. Brick or concrete walls in renovated spaces or NYCHA buildings start at $250. Above-fireplace installations start at $275. All prices include bracket, leveling, device connection, cable management, and 1-year warranty. Call (347) 934-8335 for your exact quote.
The large pre-war apartment buildings lining Eastern Parkway often have thick plaster walls and concrete party walls between units. If your unit has standard plaster, the rate is $215. If the mounting wall is poured concrete or cinder block (common in party walls), the rate is $250+ because it requires a hammer drill and masonry anchors. We determine the exact wall type and quote before any drilling begins.
Yes, in most cases. Weeksville is in our core Brooklyn service zone. Call before noon for the best chance at a same-day appointment. We also offer evening and weekend availability.
Weeksville brownstones north of Eastern Parkway typically have plaster-over-wood-lath walls in original condition, or drywall over furring strips in renovated units. Garden-level apartments may have exposed brick or parged concrete foundation walls. Parlor floors usually have the original plaster plus a brick chimney breast behind the fireplace. Upper floors may mix original plaster with renovation-era drywall. We assess each wall before drilling.
Yes. Parlor-floor fireplaces in Weeksville rowhouses — particularly the grand homes along St. Marks Avenue, Dean Street, and the blocks near Grant Square — are one of our most common installation locations. We anchor into the brick chimney breast using masonry fasteners, maintain minimum 12-inch heat clearance, and install tilt or pull-down mounts for comfortable downward viewing angles. We protect original mantels, surrounds, and plaster medallions during installation.
Not when done correctly. Professional installation on plaster requires pre-drilling at low RPM, the correct anchor type, and controlled torque — techniques that prevent cracking. We leave 4 to 6 small, controlled holes that are easily patched with spackle when you move or want to relocate the TV. If any minor surface issue occurs during installation, we patch it before leaving at no extra charge.
Yes. NYCHA buildings in Weeksville typically have poured concrete or cinder block walls. Standard mounting hardware fails on these surfaces. We use hammer drills with masonry bits and concrete sleeve anchors rated for the combined weight of your TV and bracket. Check with your building manager about any building-specific policies before scheduling.
Most new construction on Franklin Avenue uses metal stud framing with drywall. Standard lag bolts designed for wood studs will spin freely in metal. We use snap toggles or elephant anchors rated for your TV’s weight. Some newer boutique buildings use a mix of metal studs and concrete shear walls — we identify the type before drilling.
Yes. Many of the larger co-op buildings along Eastern Parkway and Nostrand Avenue have concrete party walls between units. We drill into concrete using Tapcon screws or sleeve anchors with a hammer drill. Cable concealment is done via surface raceways on concrete since in-wall routing isn’t possible. Concrete mounting starts at $250.
Even with tall ceilings, the center of the screen should be at seated eye level — approximately 42 to 48 inches from the floor. Pre-war Weeksville apartments often have 9- to 10-foot ceilings that tempt people to mount too high. Above-fireplace installs may place the TV at 50 to 60 inches with a tilt mount angling the screen downward. We determine optimal height during installation based on your seating position and room layout.
Yes. Franklin Avenue has exploded with restaurants, wine bars, coffee shops, and boutiques. We install TVs for businesses along the entire Franklin corridor from Atlantic Avenue down through Weeksville to Empire Boulevard. Ceiling mounts, multi-screen setups, digital menu boards, and commercial-grade cable management for both residential TV installation and commercial TV installation projects. COI provided for buildings that require it.
In-wall wire concealment is not recommended on original plaster because routing cables through the plaster cavity risks further wall damage. Instead, we install slim, paintable surface raceways that match your wall color for a clean, professional look. On drywall (common in renovated Weeksville units), full in-wall concealment with recessed outlets is available for $75 to $150.
If your stud finder gives inconsistent or no readings, you almost certainly have plaster-over-lath walls. Electronic stud finders are unreliable on plaster because the lath behind the plaster creates false positives across the entire surface. We use rare-earth magnetic stud finders that detect the nails or screws holding lath to studs, combined with test drilling to confirm stud locations before mounting. This is exactly why professional installation matters in Weeksville pre-war buildings.
Yes. In single-family brownstones and multi-floor units, we mount TVs on multiple floors in a single visit at a discounted rate (10% off for 2+ TVs). We can also run HDMI or Cat6 cable between floors for shared media distribution — popular in Weeksville owner-occupied brownstones where one NVR or streaming device feeds TVs on multiple levels.
We offer same-day and next-day installation throughout Weeksville, including weekends. Licensed Brooklyn company with 190+ Google reviews — not a gig platform. Call (347) 934-8335.
For brownstone parlor floors: tilt mount above fireplace. For pre-war apartments with tall ceilings: tilt mount to angle downward. For new condos with open layouts: full-motion mount for flexible viewing. For corner TV mounting: articulating bracket that bridges two walls. For renters who can’t drill: freestanding floor mount.
Drywall: $185. Plaster: $215. Brick/concrete: $250+. Above-fireplace: $275+. Wire concealment (drywall): $75–$150. Soundbar add-on: $75–$120. Exact quotes by phone.
You need a hammer drill with masonry bits, Tapcon screws or sleeve anchors, and a bracket rated for your TV’s weight. Most people don’t own a hammer drill. We carry commercial-grade equipment and complete concrete wall installations in 2 to 3 hours.
Plaster cracking: Pre-war plaster in Weeksville brownstones is brittle. Drilling without proper technique sends cracks across the wall. Professional repair costs $200–$500.
Concrete walls: Co-op and NYCHA concrete walls require a hammer drill most people don’t own. Standard drill bits won’t penetrate. Wrong anchors in concrete won’t hold weight.
Metal stud confusion: New Franklin Avenue condos use metal studs that look like wood studs behind drywall but won’t hold standard lag bolts. TV falls are the result.
No warranty: If you drill into a pipe, wire, or cause the TV to fall, the repair is entirely on you. No coverage, no recourse.
Heavy lifting: TVs 55”+ require two people. Pre-war Weeksville apartments often have narrow doorways and tight hallways.
Every wall type covered: Plaster, brick, concrete, metal studs, drywall — we carry all anchor types in our vehicle. No guessing, no hardware store runs.
1-year labor warranty: Anything shifts or loosens, we come back free of charge.
Licensed & insured: NYS License #12000287431. Full liability insurance. COI for buildings.

Problems unique to Weeksville’ building stock and neighborhood conditions.
The Problem: Weeksville pre-war apartments — especially in the large buildings along Eastern Parkway and Nostrand Avenue — often have exterior walls made of plaster over brick, interior partition walls of plaster over lath, and party walls between units made of poured concrete. A single living room can have three different wall types, each requiring different anchors and drilling techniques. Picking the wrong wall or using the wrong hardware means the TV doesn’t hold.
Our Solution: We test every planned mounting surface before drilling — knock test, magnet test, and if necessary a small test drill — to identify the exact wall composition. We carry toggle bolts for plaster-over-lath, masonry anchors for plaster-over-brick, and Tapcon fasteners for poured concrete, switching hardware as needed within the same installation.
The Problem: The IRT Eastern Parkway Line runs directly beneath the boulevard, with stations at Franklin Avenue, Nostrand Avenue, Kingston Avenue, and Utica Avenue. Buildings on and adjacent to Eastern Parkway experience continuous micro-vibrations from subway trains that can loosen standard mounting screws over time, causing TVs to shift, tilt, or rattle.
Our Solution: For Eastern Parkway buildings and those within one block of the subway line, we use lock washers, thread-locking compound (Loctite), and vibration-dampening rubber washers on all mount hardware. We recommend fixed mounts over articulating arms near subway corridors — fewer joints means fewer vibration failure points.
The Problem: Weeksville’ pre-war buildings rely on steam heat with cast-iron radiators positioned along exterior walls — the same walls where residents most often want to mount their TVs. Steam radiators can reach 180°F+ at the surface, and the rising heat column can damage TV electronics, warp plastic components, and degrade picture quality over months of exposure.
Our Solution: We maintain minimum 12-inch clearance above any radiator. When the best mounting wall has a radiator, we install on an articulating mount so the TV can be pulled away from the wall and angled away from rising heat. For units where the only option is directly above a radiator, we install a heat deflector shelf between the radiator and the TV.
The Problem: Many of the larger co-op and condo buildings in Weeksville — particularly the grand pre-war buildings along Eastern Parkway between Franklin and Utica — require contractors to submit proof of insurance before entering the building, sign in with building management, and sometimes pay a refundable deposit ($250–$500). Uninsured handymen and TaskRabbit workers often can’t get past the front desk.
Our Solution: We carry full general liability insurance and provide Certificates of Insurance (COI) at no charge, naming your building’s management company as an additional insured if required. We coordinate with building management before arrival to ensure smooth access. NYS License #12000287431 satisfies all contractor credential requirements.
The Problem: Weeksville pre-war buildings have walls that are 6 to 12 inches thick — plaster over lath over brick in many cases. This construction severely degrades Wi-Fi signals between rooms. A smart TV mounted on the far wall of a large Eastern Parkway apartment may buffer, lag, or fail to connect to streaming services when the router is in another room.
Our Solution: We run Cat6 Ethernet cable from your router to a wall plate behind the TV for a hardwired connection that eliminates buffering entirely. For units where cable routing isn’t practical, we recommend Wi-Fi mesh systems or powerline adapters positioned near the TV. Learn more about structured cabling →
The Problem: Every Labor Day, the West Indian American Day Parade brings massive sound systems, floats, and millions of revelers to Eastern Parkway. Buildings directly on the parade route experience significant bass vibration from sound trucks. While this is a once-a-year event, poorly mounted TVs near the boulevard have been known to shift or rattle loose during the parade.
Our Solution: For buildings on Eastern Parkway, our standard installation already includes vibration-resistant hardware (lock washers, thread-lock). For extra peace of mind before parade weekend, we offer a quick tightness check visit — call us the week before Labor Day and we’ll verify your mount is secure at no charge if we did the original installation.
Whether you need a new flat screen TV installation or a fix for a failed DIY job, we handle it all.
If your TV fell off the wall or your TV bracket loose on the wall, the cause is almost always wrong anchors for the wall type. We remount using the correct hardware — toggle bolts for plaster, masonry anchors for brick, snap toggles for metal studs — so it stays up permanently. We also repair any wall damage from the fall.
A crooked TV mount or wires showing after TV installation are the two most common complaints from DIY jobs and unqualified installers. We remove the old mount, re-level using a precision laser level, and install proper cable management — in-wall wire concealment on drywall or color-matched raceways on plaster and brick — for a clean, professional finish.
Think you can’t mount a TV without studs? You can — with the right anchors. Heavy-duty toggle bolts and elephant anchors are rated to hold 65-inch and 75-inch flat screen TVs on drywall without hitting a stud. For plaster walls where stud finders give false readings, we use magnetic stud finders and test drilling. No studs for TV mounting is a solvable problem, not a dealbreaker.
Modern flat screen TVs are lighter than you think — a 65-inch OLED weighs around 40 to 55 pounds. But lifting and securing it at chest height while aligning with the bracket takes two people and proper technique. We handle TVs from 32 inches to 86 inches, including heavy commercial displays. If a TV is too heavy to mount alone, that’s what we’re here for.
Moving your TV to a different wall or a different room? We offer TV dismount and remount service — remove the bracket from the old location, patch the holes, and reinstall at the new spot. TV relocation service is $185+ depending on wall types involved. We also handle full TV relocation when you’re moving to a new apartment.
Want a power outlet behind your TV for a truly clean installation? We install recessed power outlets and low voltage wiring plates behind the TV so no cables are visible. This pairs with our in-wall wire concealment for a completely cable-free look. We also run HDMI cable routing through walls and set up surround sound speaker wiring as part of a complete home entertainment installation. NYC apartment rules allow these modifications in most standard leases — check with your landlord for specifics.
