Tell Trey what is going up
- The item and its rough weight (check the box or manufacturer page).
- The wall type: drywall, plaster, paneling, brick or tile.
- The exact location, and whether you want it centered on furniture, a window or a wall.
Why wall type matters
Drywall anchors that work for a small picture can pull out under a heavy mirror. Plaster walls, common in older homes around downtown LaGrange and other historic neighborhoods, can crack if drilled carelessly. Tile and brick need different bits and fasteners. Knowing this ahead of time means the right hardware comes along.
Safety items
If you are planning for grab bars or a future handrail, ask about adding solid backing while a wall is open during a bathroom remodel. That is easier than retrofitting later.
Group it with other small jobs
Mounting work is a natural fit for a larger repair list. If you have a few items to hang and a door that sticks, send them together.
Common questions
Can things be mounted on plaster or brick?
Often, but the method differs from drywall. Mention the wall type if you know it — older LaGrange homes frequently have plaster walls.
Do you install the TV too?
Discuss it with Trey. Running power or low-voltage wiring inside walls is electrical work and is not promised on this website.
