Old Delray, new Delray
Near Atlantic Avenue and in neighborhoods like Lake Ida, Del Ida Park and the streets around Swinton, you'll find original 1920s–1950s cottages next to brand-new two-story builds. The older homes can have plaster walls, uneven ceilings and window placements that limit where a TV can go. The new builds usually have framed walls and wide open plans. Each needs a different approach, and a photo tells me which one I'm walking into.
Seagate, Tropic Isle and the canal neighborhoods east of Federal are mostly block-built ranch and split-level homes, often renovated inside. I locate studs where there's framing and use masonry anchors where there isn't.
Kings Point and west Delray
Out west, Kings Point and the surrounding 55+ communities are full of condo-style villas and smaller rooms. A TV there is often going over a dresser in a bedroom or into a den, and the right height is lower than most people expect. I'll hold the bracket at a couple of heights so you can see it from your chair before I drill.
Snowbird season
A lot of Delray homes are second homes. If you're flying in for the season, I can mount the TV and set up the streaming apps before you land, coordinated with your property manager or a neighbor with a key.
Also available on the same visit in Delray Beach: handyman work and furniture assembly from $75/hr, and Smart Home Setup.
