Club Hill ranch
The first hole crumbled the soft old brick, so Bohdan moved up a course and used longer sleeve anchors in whole brick, never mortar.

TV Mounting in Garland, TX
A typical Garland TV wall sits in a den built between 1960 and 1979: brick from hearth to ceiling, wood paneling and a low mantel. Up by the Bush Turnpike, Firewheel swaps that for stone-faced chases. Bohdan's North Dallas crew mounts on both, often the same day you call.
TV mounting in Garland 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.

Brick ranch homes, Firewheel and the lake shore
Ranch homes have wood studs, drywall or paneling, and a brick fireplace wall. We drill the brick face with a rotary hammer, set sleeve anchors, and keep the TV low enough to watch — after checking the heat. Brick costs the same as drywall. Brick and stone.
Firewheel homes from the 2000s are drywall on 16-inch studs with open bays; cables go inside the wall with a power kit ($69). Wood-paneled dens in older houses get a test hole to find the studs behind the paneling.
Lake Ray Hubbard patios
Homes near the lake have covered patios facing the water. Outdoor-rated TVs on weather-rated mounts with stainless hardware; humidity and storms are tough on connectors. Outdoor TVs.
TV over the brick fireplace
Ranch fireplaces are wide and the mantels are low, which often makes the space above them a reasonable height. We still run the fireplace first and check the wall temperature. TV over a fireplace.

What this means for your TV wall
Garland's median home was built in 1978, and 43.7% of housing units date from 1960–1979, so the usual TV wall is wood studs behind drywall or paneling beside a brick firebox. That year matters: paint from before 1978 can contain lead, so we keep openings small and catch the dust. With 68.4% detached houses, most families pick any wall they like; renters near downtown usually get a raceway that comes off cleanly.
Reading a 1960s–70s Garland den before the first hole
Our 13+ Garland fireplace TVs outnumber its 11+ hidden-cable jobs, and the reason is the den itself. Ranch builders in Club Hill and Oakridge ran brick across much of the room, so the screen usually belongs on the masonry and the cables stay outside it. Where the family would rather keep wiring out of sight, Bohdan often moves the TV to the framed wall beside the chimney and fishes the run through a stud bay there.
Paneled walls hide more than studs. Horizontal braces and fire blocks sit halfway down many bays in houses of this age, which turns a quick fish into a second small opening. Textured ceilings and patching from the same decades can hold asbestos, and nobody can tell by looking, so we suggest a test before any cutting. Every fireplace visit starts with a heat test at the planned spot.

Firewheel two-stories and the South 11th Street bungalows
North Garland reads differently. Firewheel grew mostly from the late 1990s around Rowlett Creek, so its family rooms have open stud bays and cultured stone over a framed chase instead of solid brick. That facing is decoration, not structure: anchors go through it into the framing, after the gas logs have run and the reading at the planned spot is fine. A 75-inch there falls in the $129 band.
Downtown, the Travis College Hill district along South 11th Street holds Craftsman bungalows with a 1913 to 1960 period of significance. In houses that old we open walls as little as possible and plan the cable path with you first. Neighbors in Mesquite and Richardson see the same crew. When you know the wall, send a request and Bohdan can often come the same day.
From our Garland job log
A few jobs from the last months — the kind of walls and setups we see here most.
Duck Creek den
Pre-1978 painted paneling and a mid-cavity brace: two small openings, far under the EPA's six-square-foot line, and the top one hides behind the plate.

Firewheel two-story
The stone is thin veneer, not structure, so Bohdan anchored into the chase framing behind it after running the gas logs, clear of the vent pipe.

On-site notes from Garland jobs
- Old brick can be soft — we use longer sleeve anchors and never drill the mortar.
- Paneled dens: we find studs through the paneling with a small test hole.
- Foundation movement cracks drywall here — it doesn't affect a mount in the studs.

TV mounting in Garland, TX: common questions
Can you mount a TV on a brick fireplace in Garland?
Yes — sleeve anchors in the brick face after a heat check, at the drywall price.
Can you hide the cables inside the wall?
In most homes, yes — $69 per TV.
How much does TV mounting cost in Garland?
$119 up to 60 inches, $129 up to 85 inches, no travel fee.
Do you mount outdoor TVs by Lake Ray Hubbard?
Yes — outdoor-rated TVs, weather-rated mounts and stainless hardware, with sealed connectors against humidity.
Can you mount a TV in a paneled den?
Yes. We find the studs behind the paneling with a small test hole and hide it under the mount.
Do I need a permit or an electrician in Garland?
Texas electrician licensing excludes low-voltage HDMI and network runs, so the mount and hidden cables are our job. A new outlet behind the screen is electrical work under city code; a licensed electrician adds it before Bohdan's visit.
Will mounting damage my 1970s den paneling?
No sanding and no scraping. Bohdan finds studs through a pinhole that ends up behind the plate, an in-wall run needs two openings a few inches wide, and pre-1978 painted paneling gets a vacuum at the bit.
Can the TV go on my brick fireplace without cables in the brick?
Yes. Low-voltage lines can run down the brick in a paintable raceway ($39), or the TV moves to the framed wall beside the chimney with cables inside it. The power cord itself never goes in a wall or raceway.
