Santa Clarita TV Mounting: TV Mounting in Newhall, CA

Newhall walls are not all drywall

Newhall is the oldest community in the valley, and it shows in the walls. Old Town Newhall and the streets around Main Street and Market Street have 1920s–1950s bungalows with plaster over wood lath — fasteners need pilot holes and must reach the studs, and the plaster chips if you rush. Happy Valley's 1950s–70s ranch homes have early drywall, brick fireplaces and sometimes paneling. Placerita Canyon has custom homes on large lots with stone fireplaces and vaulted wood ceilings. Along Lyons Avenue, Railroad Avenue and the new Newhall Crossings development, condos and townhomes are mostly steel-stud, and the mixed-use buildings downtown have concrete shear walls on the ground floor.

What Newhall homeowners book:

Plaster-and-lath TV mounting

The installer locates studs behind the plaster with a deep-scan finder, pre-drills through the lath to prevent cracking, and lags into the framing with longer fasteners. Cable concealment often goes through the attic or a closet rather than the plaster cavity.

Steel-stud condo and townhome mounts

Heavy-duty toggles sized to the stud gauge in the Lyons and Railroad Avenue buildings; backer plates for full-motion arms; no penetrations through fire-rated party walls.

Stone fireplaces in Placerita Canyon

Long structural fasteners through stone veneer into framing, shimmed level, with a raceway painted to the grout color.

Around Newhall

Most of Newhall is about 10 minutes from central Santa Clarita via Lyons Avenue or Newhall Avenue. Parking is tight on the Old Town side streets near Main Street on event days (Thursdays' Old Town Newhall Farmers Market, SENSES block parties), so arrival gets planned around them. Placerita Canyon and Sand Canyon-side addresses along Placerita Canyon Road add a few minutes. The Newhall Metrolink station and Hart Park are the landmarks for the center of the neighborhood.
