Twin Creeks two-story family room
The builder's outlet hid behind the mantel, so Andrii heat-checked with the blower on and ran the cables down the chase to it.

Twin Creeks, Star Creek and Watters Crossing homes
Homes from the 1990s–2000s are brick outside, drywall on 16-inch wood studs inside, with a stone or brick fireplace in a two-story family room. We anchor into the masonry face or through veneer into framing, check the heat, and keep the screen at a sensible height. TV over a fireplace.
Game rooms and media rooms upstairs have open stud bays and attic access above — ideal for hiding cables inside the wall ($69) and running HDMI to a closet.
Big screens and soundbars for game day
Most Allen family rooms get a 75 or 85-inch TV and a soundbar on its own bracket ($69) connected by HDMI eARC. For 86 inches and up we send two technicians (from $179). Soundbar setups.
Several TVs in one visit
Family room, game room, primary bedroom, covered patio — additional TVs in the same visit start at $40, and we do the masonry and in-wall work first to keep the dust in one window.

What this means for your TV wall
With a median year built of 2003, most Allen TV walls are drywall over wood studs in a two-story family room, with stone or brick around the firebox. Utility gas heats 55.2% of homes, and gas logs are what we meet over most mantels here, so every fireplace wall starts as a heat question. The 15.5% of homes in buildings of 20 or more units bring lease rules instead of fireplaces.
Gas logs and blowers in Allen family rooms
Most Allen fireplaces we work over were built into a two-story family room in the 1990s or 2000s, and many have a blower that pushes warm air out under the mantel. That is why Andrii runs the logs for 20 minutes with the blower on before he marks a single hole. The face is usually cultured stone over a framed chase, and stone veneer is not structure: the plate goes through it into the framing, shimmed plumb where the stone dips. In Twin Creeks and Lexington Village two-stories the builder's niche can sit well above eye level; about 1 in 3 two-story fireplace customers end up 12 to 18 inches lower than that niche. Try the height tool before we come, or see how a fireplace TV visit runs. A 75-inch screen mounts for $129, flat.

Game rooms and patios
Allen's game rooms usually sit over the garage, with attic space overhead. That lets Andrii drop HDMI from the attic into the TV bay and send it on to a hall closet. The TV's own power cord never goes inside the wall; a listed in-wall power kit carries power to the screen, plugged into the outlet you already have. If you want a brand-new outlet up high, Allen builds to the 2023 electrical code and that is a job for a licensed electrician before our visit. Covered patios are the other big Allen request; after the spring storms most owners want the screen tucked deep under the roof, and that is where we put it. More than one screen on the list? Tell us each room when you send a request, and Andrii plans the attic runs in one trip.
From our Allen job log
A few jobs from the last months — the kind of walls and setups we see here most.
Star Creek upstairs game room
HDMI runs through the attic to a hall closet, with a second line down the same bay to the soundbar's eARC input.

Watters Crossing covered patio
Too shallow to sit the screen 4 feet back, so Andrii chose a full-motion arm that folds it flat against the brick.

On-site notes from Allen jobs
- Foundation movement on North Texas clay can crack drywall — it doesn't affect a stud mount.
- Montgomery Farm homes often have pre-wired media niches.
- Friday-night traffic near the stadium — we schedule around home games.

TV mounting in Allen, TX: common questions
Can you install a TV and soundbar together?
Yes — soundbar installation is $69 with the TV.
Can you hide the wires inside the wall in Allen?
In most homes, yes — $69 per TV.
How much does TV mounting cost in Allen?
$119 up to 60 inches, $129 up to 85 inches, no travel fee.
Do you mount outdoor TVs in Allen?
Yes — covered patios get outdoor-rated TVs on weather-rated mounts with stainless hardware, and connectors are sealed for humid summers and hail season.
How high should the family-room TV be?
For a sofa, the screen center sits around 42–48 inches from the floor. Over a fireplace we check heat first and usually add a few degrees of tilt.
Our fireplace has a blower. Does that change the heat test?
Andrii runs the gas logs at full output for 20 minutes with the blower on, then reads the surface where the TV will hang. If it reads too hot, we suggest a pull-down mount or the wall beside the firebox.
Is a pull-down mount worth it in a two-story family room?
Often. With walls of 16 to 20 feet the builder's niche usually sits high, and a pull-down mount brings the screen to eye level, then lifts it back. Assembly is $99, with two technicians for 2.5 to 3 hours.
Does hail season matter for a patio TV in Allen?
Yes. Storm reports for May 19, 2023 logged a 2.5-inch hailstone near Greenville and Exchange Parkway. We hang patio TVs at least 4 feet back under the cover, with stainless hardware and a sealed cable entry.
