Professional TV Mounting Service in Elgin, Illinois

Elgin's neighborhoods reflect distinct development periods and topography. The Near East and Near West sides contain the city's oldest residential areas with Victorian and early 20th century homes featuring steep staircases with ornate but widely-spaced balusters, high ceilings with dangling light fixtures, and often attic spaces with pull-down stairs requiring securing. The area south of the river around Gifford Road features substantial homes from the early 1900s on larger lots, many with screened porches, exterior cellar access, and carriage house or garage conversions creating multiple structures requiring baby proofing. Southeast Elgin neighborhoods contain primarily ranch and split-level homes from the 1960s-1970s built on the area's rolling terrain, creating homes with multiple short staircases, sunken living rooms, and raised ranch configurations. The Wing Park area features mid-century homes with more open floor plans but often including sliding glass doors, bay windows, and built-in planters at child height. Newer developments in far west and south Elgin include modern two-story homes with open concepts, hardwood and tile floors throughout, and often bonus rooms over garages requiring careful stairway management.
