Yes. We have the right hardware and tools for brick, concrete, drywall, and tile. NYC apartments often have exposed brick or concrete walls — we drill safely using masonry anchors and proper mounts so your TV is secure and centered.
For larger setups or weekend move-in days, we recommend booking 1–2 days in advance to secure your preferred time slot. Smaller weekday task lists may have earlier openings depending on technician availability.
