Decatur has more brick than almost any neighborhood in Metro Atlanta — original 1920s and 1930s bungalows, mid-century brick ranches, and modern brick accent walls. Here's exactly how we mount TVs on brick in Decatur safely and cleanly.
Brick Mounting: The Anchor Question
Two options for anchoring into brick:
- Mortar joints — easier to drill and easier to repair if the TV is ever removed. Best for lighter TVs.
- Face brick — far stronger pull-out resistance. Required for heavy TVs (75"+) and full-motion mounts.
We use 1/4" or 5/16" sleeve anchors rated for masonry and a hammer drill with a fresh masonry bit on every Decatur job.

Our Decatur Brick Install Process

- Mark anchor locations and decide mortar-joint vs face-brick anchoring
- Hammer-drill pilot holes with a fresh masonry bit
- Drive masonry-rated sleeve anchors
- Mount the bracket plate and verify level
- Hang TV, route cables (typically up and over via the wall cavity above the brick)

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you mount a TV on a brick wall in Decatur?
Yes — brick is one of the strongest substrates we install on. Pricing is $199 to $399.
Should I drill into the brick or the mortar?
Mortar is easier to repair if the TV is ever removed. Face brick is stronger and required for heavy TVs and full-motion mounts.
Will drilling crack the brick?
Not when done correctly. We use a fresh masonry bit, the right drill speed, and never overload anchors.
Can you hide the wires on a brick wall?
Yes — using a paintable surface raceway that runs down the brick to a power outlet. In-wall routing requires drywall above the brick.
Do you work on old Decatur bungalows with original brick?
Yes — that's a huge part of our Decatur work. We inspect mortar quality before drilling.
Can you install a MantelMount on brick?
Yes — brick is ideal for MantelMounts. The masonry anchors handle the bracket weight easily.
How long does a brick install take?
90 minutes to 2 hours including cable management.
Do you serve all of Decatur?
Yes — every Decatur neighborhood in 30030, 30032, 30033, and 30034.
