TV Mounting in Coral Gables Homes
Coral Gables' Mediterranean Revival homes near the Biltmore and Merrick Park were mostly built decades before concrete-block condo towers became the norm — many still have original lath-and-plaster walls, which take anchors very differently than drywall or CMU block.

Why Coral Gables Is Different
Plaster cracks if you drill it like drywall. We locate framing behind the plaster with a stud finder tuned for denser walls, use the right pilot-hole approach to avoid spider-cracking the finish, and patch and touch up paint around the mount so it looks original when we leave — critical in a house where the walls are original to the 1920s–40s build.
“Our house is from 1941 with original plaster walls. They were careful, explained what they were doing, and there's not a crack anywhere near the mount.”

TV Mounting in Coral Gables — FAQs
Will mounting a TV crack the plaster in my older Coral Gables home?
Not with the right approach — we pilot-drill and use anchors sized for plaster-and-lath construction, not standard drywall anchors, which is what causes cracking. We've done this on dozens of older Gables homes.
Do you work in the newer condos near Merrick Park too?
Yes — those buildings are typically standard concrete-block construction, so it's the same masonry-anchor approach we use in Brickell and other high-rise areas.
Can you match the wall paint after patching anchor holes?
We carry basic touch-up supplies for minor patching, and for a full color match on older or textured plaster we can coordinate a quick paint touch-up as part of the same visit.
