Can you mount a TV on a plaster wall?

Yes. Plaster takes different anchors and a careful drill, and I find the studs behind it before anything goes up.

I live in a condo. Can you work in my unit?

Yes. Check your building's rules on contractors and work hours first, and tell me if the building needs anything from me before I come.

Older Bethesda homes need careful work, and I drive down from Germantown to do it.

Working in Bethesda

Bethesda's houses are some of the oldest in my area. In the 20816 ZIP, the typical home was built around 1959 and more than 8 in 10 were built before 1980. In 20817 it's about two-thirds. Downtown, around Bethesda Row and the Woodmont Triangle, most homes are condos and apartments.

Older houses need patient work: doors that have settled and stick, worn stair parts and trim, and walls that need the right anchors before a TV or shelves go up. If your walls are plaster, as many older walls are, tell me when you call.

In a condo, the job is usually inside your unit: mounting, shelves, doors and hardware, keypad deadbolts and grab bars. Check your building's rules on contractors and work hours first, and I'll work within them.
