Brick, stone or concrete? We bring the hammer drill
Masonry walls are the strongest thing a TV can hang on — once the anchors are right. Drywall hardware won't grip brick, and the wrong drill bit or a careless hit can crack a face brick that's hard to replace.
We hammer-drill with masonry bits, set sleeve or wedge anchors sized for the load, and decide with you whether to drill the brick face (strongest) or the mortar joint (easiest to patch later). Masonry walls are $40 for brick and $40 for concrete on top of labor. Because you can't run wires inside solid masonry, we use a slim cord cover that can be painted to match.

Price my job →How we do it
- Tap and test
Solid brick, hollow block and veneer over framing all behave differently. A test hole tells us which one you have.
- Drill clean
Masonry bit, steady pressure, vacuum at the hole — far less dust than you expect.
- Set the anchors
Anchors expand inside the hole; we torque them to spec, never more.
- Run the cord cover
Cut to length, stuck and screwed to the wall, ready to paint if you want it invisible.
Questions about brick & concrete TV mounting
Will drilling crack my brick?
Not with a proper hammer drill and the right bit. The usual cause of cracked brick is an anchor too close to the edge or overtightened — both avoidable.
Can you hide the wires inside a brick wall?
Not safely in solid masonry. A paintable cord cover, or running wires down to a cabinet behind furniture, are the clean options.
What if the brick is just a veneer?
Brick veneer is often 3–4″ thick over a framed wall. We anchor into the brick itself; the air gap behind it doesn't matter for the load.
