Green Valley tracts, Anthem and the newer builds
Henderson grew in stages. Green Valley, founded in 1978 on 8,400 acres in the southeast of the valley, was Southern Nevada's first master-planned community, and its 1980s and 1990s stucco tracts — 40.2% of the city's homes date from 1980 to 1999 — still make up much of what we work in. Anthem, Seven Hills, Inspirada and Cadence came later: 52.6% of Henderson's housing units were built in 2000 or later. Across all of it, 75.9% of homes are single-family houses, so a Frame here almost always goes on the owner's own drywall.
Many of those walls carry a knockdown texture. Behind an ordinary TV it disappears; behind a Frame, which Samsung's Slim Fit mount holds just 3 mm off the wall, the wall has to be flat before the texture even matters. Vasyl lays a long level across it in every direction, sets the mount into studs and corrects a bow before the screen goes up, because a bowed wall shows as a wider gap at one corner of a flush TV.
Builder media niches and the art TV
Valley builders love a media niche, often above the fireplace: about 2 in 3 of our valley fireplace jobs involve one. Most niches we measure take a 55 or 65-inch TV, about 1 in 4 takes a 75-inch on a low-profile plate, and the 1980s and 1990s Henderson tracts have the smallest of all, where a 55-inch is usually the limit.
A Frame changes the math in two ways. It needs a little air at its sides, so a screen that fills the opening edge to edge is too tight. And it can't tilt: on our valley fireplace jobs, about 1 in 4 heat readings move us to a tilting or pull-down mount or a few inches higher, and with a flush Frame only the last of those is available. So above a gas fireplace Vasyl runs the fire, takes a reading where the bottom of the screen will sit — Samsung says its TVs should never exceed 104°F — and then decides between the niche, the wall above it and the wall beside the fireplace. The full fireplace routine is on our fireplace TV installation page.
Power and cables: attic runs in single-story homes
Which Frame you own decides where the power goes. The 2026 Frame has no One Connect box on US models, so its ports and power cord connect at the TV, and a plug in a standard outlet stands proud of the wall; the clean fix is a recessed TV box that keeps the plug behind the surface, which is a licensed electrician's part. The 2025 Frame and earlier take power and every input into the One Connect box, and only one thin cable runs to the screen.
That thin cable comes in lengths up to 49 feet, and in a single-story Henderson home the easiest route is often up into the attic and across to a cabinet on the far side of the room. About 1 in 4 of our Henderson concealment jobs go that way, most of them in Sun City Anthem, the Del Webb community of 7,144 single-story homes built between 1998 and 2008. Frank and Judy O. there wanted the living-room TV fed from a cabinet across the room; the run went through the attic, booked for 8 am in July. From June to September we book every attic job before 11 am. The cable runs inside flexible conduit, never loose, and a TV's own power cord never goes into the wall: the electrical code doesn't allow flexible cords to be concealed in walls.

The old Townsite and the plywood walls
Henderson's oldest homes are the original Townsite houses built in 1941 and 1942 beside the Basic Magnesium plant, and in the restored Townsite House the interior walls are plywood with battens over the seams. Cutting openings in that kind of wall would show, so there we don't hide cables inside it. For Melissa G., near Water Street, Vasyl ran a painted raceway along a batten line so it reads as part of the wall, and the same trick suits a Frame.
Desert light, dry air and an art TV that's always on
Henderson's living rooms see a lot of sun, and an art TV in Art Mode is on display all day. The 2026 Frame uses Samsung's Glare Free matte screen, the Hisense CanvasTV a Hi-Matte one and LG's Gallery TV a matte display, which is a large part of why they look like paper rather than glass. Before we leave, Vasyl switches on the brightness and motion sensors so the picture dims with the room and goes dark when nobody's home. The air is the opposite of Florida's: in June the average 4 p.m. humidity in Las Vegas is just 11%, so the One Connect box mostly needs one thing from its cabinet — enough room for air to move around it.
Some of Henderson's guard-gated communities ask about fees for contractors. Nevada law settles it: an HOA may not charge a fee for a person to enter the community to provide services to a unit or its owner, and it may not unreasonably restrict an owner's access to their own home.
The Frame TV installation page compares every art TV model, our Las Vegas Frame guide covers the rest of the valley, and city notes are on our Henderson page.
