TV Mounting in Arlington, TX

Fireplace walls in Arlington's 1980s two-stories

Southwest Arlington is where we meet the classic 1980s family room: a tall wall, a fireplace in the middle and one obvious spot for the screen. The face is usually cultured stone or brick veneer over a framed chase. Veneer is a skin, not structure, so Ivan finds the framing behind it, anchors there and shims the plate where the stone dips; on brick, sleeve anchors go in full brick, never mortar lines. We have hung 14+ TVs over Arlington fireplaces so far. Because many Arlington families still burn oak on cold nights, the 20-minute heat test runs with a real fire. If the reading is too hot, the TV moves beside the fireplace on a full-motion arm ($69) and swings toward the sofa. Check heights with our TV height tool or read our notes on TVs over fireplaces.

North Arlington ranches and stadium-side apartments

North Arlington is the city's most settled corner, with mature trees and mid-century brick homes. Many date from the boom after the General Motors plant opened in January 1954, when about 125 new families a month were moving to town. Those walls often combine a horizontal brace mid-bay with many coats of old paint, so for hidden cables Ivan keeps openings small and fishes past the brace. Near the ballparks, One Rangers Way opened in March 2025 with 300 apartments, and complexes around UTA turn over every semester. For a lease, we mount into two studs and run paintable raceway ($39) that comes off at move-out. Whatever the wall, the TV's own power cord never runs inside it; in-wall jobs use a listed power kit.
