Westmoreland Estates two-story
Gas logs read warm just above the mantel, so Bohdan raised the plate four inches, added tilt and set sleeve anchors in full brick.

Established brick neighborhoods and newer homes
Brick family homes have drywall on wood studs and a brick fireplace in the family room. We drill the brick face with a rotary hammer and set sleeve anchors — never the mortar — after checking the heat. Brick and stone.
Open stud bays in most homes make hiding cables inside the wall ($69) quick, and newer homes in Summit Ridge often have pre-wired boxes.
Big screens and sound
75 to 98-inch TVs with a soundbar on its own bracket ($69) are the standard DeSoto setup. From 86 inches we send two technicians ($179). Soundbars under a TV.
Game rooms and bedrooms
Additional TVs in the same visit start at $40; we plan the order so the masonry and in-wall work is done first.

What this means for your TV wall
About 43.5% of DeSoto homes went up during the 1980s and 1990s, and 73.6% are detached houses, so the usual TV wall here is drywall over wood studs, often across from a brick fireplace. Older homes are rare, so plaster and lath barely come up. Because 41.4% of households heat mainly with utility gas, plenty of those fireplaces run gas logs, and we read the surface temperature at the planned screen height before marking anything.
Two kinds of DeSoto TV walls
DeSoto work splits into two kinds of jobs. In houses from the 1980s and 1990s, around Thorntree and Westmoreland Estates, the family room usually centers on a full brick fireplace with a wide mantel. Bohdan runs the fireplace for twenty minutes, takes a reading where the screen will hang and only then drills; if it reads too hot, the TV moves to the framed wall beside the chimney. That test opens every fireplace TV job we do.
Newer two-story homes, like those First Texas Homes markets near I-35E and I-20, bring other questions: tall family rooms, builder pre-wire boxes in odd spots and upstairs game rooms over the garage. Before we arrive, measure from sofa to wall and try our height tool; a screen hung at the builder's outlet often ends up too high for the couch.

HOAs, permits and the outlet question
Several DeSoto subdivisions, including Summit Parks and Westmoreland Estates, carry HOA dues, so a patio TV or an exterior cable cover may need the association's sign-off first; indoor TVs almost never do. Send the HOA's rule sheet with your request.
A new outlet behind the screen is electrical work, and that belongs to a licensed electrician who pulls a permit through the City of DeSoto Building Inspections division. We never push the TV's own power cord through the wall or bury it in a raceway with the HDMI. Instead we use a listed in-wall power kit that plugs into the outlet you already have, or, in rentals and on brick, a paintable raceway for the video cables ($39); our raceway guide shows how it looks. Book through the quote page and Bohdan can often reach you the same afternoon.
From our DeSoto job log
A few jobs from the last months — the kind of walls and setups we see here most.
Summit Parks new build
The builder's box sat far left of the sofa; Bohdan cut in a listed in-wall power kit behind the screen and capped the old opening.

St Georges Place rental
The lease allowed small holes only, so Bohdan used two studs and a paintable raceway that comes off at move-out.

On-site notes from DeSoto jobs
- Older brick can be soft — longer anchors set deeper.
- Some homes have paneled dens; we find studs behind the paneling with a test hole.
- Foundation movement on clay soil is common; mounts go into studs, not cracked drywall.

TV mounting in DeSoto, TX: common questions
Can you mount a 98-inch TV in DeSoto?
Yes — two technicians and a heavy-duty mount, from $179.
Can you add a soundbar?
Yes, $69 with the installation.
How much does TV mounting cost in DeSoto?
$119 up to 60 inches, $129 up to 85 inches, no travel fee.
Can you hide the cables inside the wall in DeSoto?
In most homes, yes — $69 per TV with a UL-listed power kit.
Do you mount outdoor TVs?
Yes — covered patios get outdoor-rated TVs on weather-rated mounts with stainless hardware.
Can you mount a TV over the brick fireplace in my DeSoto family room?
Usually, yes. We run the fireplace first to check the heat, set sleeve anchors in the brick face and add tilt if the mantel is high.
Is DeSoto's clay soil a problem for a wall-mounted TV?
Not if the mount is anchored right. Blackland Prairie clay swells and shrinks with the weather, so many DeSoto houses show drywall cracks. We fasten the plate to solid studs or full brick, never a cracked patch, and recheck level before hanging the screen.
I just closed on a new build in DeSoto. Should I wait before mounting?
No need to wait. New two-story homes often have a builder TV box set too high or off-center. We can mount on day one, move the connection with a listed in-wall kit and cover the old opening with a blank plate.
Do you also work in Cedar Hill and other towns near DeSoto?
Yes. The crew that handles DeSoto also visits Cedar Hill and the rest of southern Dallas County. If you are helping a relative across town, send both addresses and we can usually book the two visits on one day.
