From Fairmount bungalows with wood-burning brick fireplaces to family rooms off the I-35W corridor near Alliance, Fort Worth walls range from plaster over brick to pre-wired drywall. Ivan's Fort Worth crew handles both, usually the same day, at one flat price whether you live on the south side or far north.
TV mounting in Fort Worth is flat-rate: $119 up to 60", $129 for 61–85" and from $179 for 86" and larger, plus $40 for each additional TV. Mounts from $39, cables hidden in a raceway for $39 or inside the wall for $69. No travel fee and no surcharge for stone or brick.
Fairmount and Arlington Heights houses have lath and plaster over old-growth studs. We find the studs with test holes, drill with the hammer off and use a wide mount or a painted backer when the framing doesn't line up with the TV. Mounts for plaster walls.
Sundance Square and West 7th lofts mix exposed brick with steel-stud partitions: sleeve anchors in the brick face, snap-toggles in steel, cables in a slim raceway along the brick. Alliance-area new builds have straight studs and pre-wired boxes; cables go inside the wall ($69). Metal studs.
Mid-century and custom homes on the west side have limestone and fieldstone fireplaces. Real stone takes sleeve anchors in the stone face; veneer needs anchors through to the framing. Stone and uneven surfaces.
Bars, restaurants and hotels around the Stockyards and Sundance Square run screens on old brick and new partitions. We mount them level, hide the cables and work before opening.

U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates: year built, units in structure, tenure.
Fort Worth's housing splits in two. 18.9% of housing units went up before 1960, the plaster-and-lath stock of the Southside and west-side districts, while 23.1% date from 2010 or later, mostly drywall over straight studs up north. Only 30.1% of homes heat mainly with gas, which matches what we see at the hearth: plenty of brick fireboxes that still burn real wood, so our heat check uses the fire you actually build.
In Mistletoe Heights, Fairmount and Hillcrest, three of the 14 historic districts the city lists, many houses carry plaster over wood lath. Ivan works those old walls gently: two small openings, a vacuum at the saw, no sanding of paint nobody can date. About 1 in 5 in-wall runs in pre-1980 homes hit a horizontal block, so we cut a second hole at it, fish past and patch both.
Toward Alliance and Heritage, the problem flips: clean drywall, but a low-voltage box placed where a floor plan guessed the sofa would go. We move the TV point to where you actually sit, with a listed in-wall power kit rather than the TV's own cord inside the wall, for $69. Attic runs get fastened to framing, as the city's code asks for low-voltage wiring near attic appliances.

A gas-log heat check is predictable; an oak fire is not. When yours burns wood, Ivan asks for the fire you really build and reads the brick at the planned spot at 20 minutes and again once the coals are deep. If the spot reads too hot, the TV moves to a pull-down mount, the wall beside the chimney, or above a deeper mantel added later. Gas logs get the same 20-minute burn at full output, glass doors open when the log set's instructions require it. Anchors go into solid brick, never the mortar joints, and cultured stone is treated as a skin: we anchor through it into the chase framing. Brick and stone add 30 to 45 minutes to the visit.

A few jobs from the last months — the kind of walls and setups we see here most.

The builder's box sat 2 feet off-center, so Ivan cut in a listed in-wall kit where the TV belonged and fastened the HDMI to garage-attic framing.

The family burns oak on January nights, so Ivan took heat readings at 20 minutes and again later, then anchored into brick, never mortar lines.
