EASYFIXArlington Heights homes — especially in Heritage and Olympic Park — often have 1960s plaster walls that look like drywall but require completely different anchoring. Most handyman services don't carry the right hardware. I mount TVs here every week with the specialty anchors and technique these walls need.

Arlington Heights homes in Heritage and Olympic Park are mostly plaster over lath from the 1960s — a wall type that cracks if you drill into it the way you would drywall. Mounting a TV here means locating studs through plaster first, not just eyeballing it.
Local insight: A standard stud finder often gives false readings on Arlington Heights plaster walls — EasyFix uses a slower, more deliberate tapping-and-drilling method specifically calibrated for this wall type.
Working in Arlington Heights: In Arlington Heights, most of the housing stock went up between the 1950s and early 1970s — ranches and split-levels, many with original plaster walls — which is exactly the range of walls a TV mount has to grip, each with its own hardware. For long-time owners updating homes they plan to stay in, cables go in-wall or in raceway and the screen levels to the actual seating line. Mounts have gone up from Scarsdale's historic streets to the newer condos around the downtown Metra station in recent weeks.

Real reviews from real clients across the northwest Chicago suburbs.
Heat rises, so TVs above fireplaces run warmer than ideal. I always walk through the pros and cons before proceeding and recommend a heat-rated mount if you decide to go ahead.
On drywall walls — yes, I offer in-wall cable routing. On plaster, brick, or tile I use premium surface raceways that look clean and intentional.
