Tolar Bay custom two-story
The 20-minute burn ran hot at the first mark. Bohdan raised the plate 3 inches, shimmed it plumb on the stone and anchored into the chase framing.

Waterview, Bayside and the lakefront
Most Rowlett homes are brick outside, drywall on 16-inch wood studs inside, with a stone or brick fireplace. Homes rebuilt after 2015 have newer framing and often a pre-wired TV box. Two studs, lag bolts, cables inside the wall ($69).
Lake-facing living rooms get afternoon glare off the water. We mount on a wall perpendicular to the windows where we can, or use tilt or a full-motion arm ($69) to angle the screen away from the light.
Lake patios and outdoor TVs
Covered patios toward the lake get outdoor-rated TVs, weather-rated mounts, stainless hardware and sealed connectors. Spring storms roll across the lake fast — full-motion arms fold flat and lock. Outdoor TVs.
Fireplace or side wall?
Many Rowlett family rooms put the fireplace on the lake wall between windows. Above it is often the best spot anyway — after a heat check. TV over a fireplace.

What this means for your TV wall
The median Rowlett home was built in 1997, and 47.5% of housing units date from 1980 to 1999, so most TV walls we open are wood framing with half-inch drywall and a builder's fireplace chase. Utility gas is the main heat in 56.3% of homes, so a gas-log fireplace often sits right under the spot people want for the screen. Plaster and old lath almost never turn up on our jobs in Rowlett.
Peninsula streets, wall by wall
Rowlett's lake neighborhoods sit on fingers of land, and each one hands us a slightly different wall. Tolar Bay is custom-built, so fireplaces run tall and are often faced in stone; that stone is a thin veneer over a framed chase and carries nothing on its own, so our anchors go into the framing behind it. The Vineyards, a short walk from the shore, is mostly 1990s brick with straight drywall and studs 16 inches apart, which makes an 85-inch screen at $129 a quick, tidy visit. The Peninsula, by Paddle Point Park, is where covered brick patios get outdoor-rated sets on arms that fold back toward the wall. Sapphire Bay is a newer master-planned build-out; before using the builder's TV box, sit on the sofa and check its height with our height tool.

Gas logs under the screen
With gas the main heat in most Rowlett homes, the fireplace below the TV usually burns gas logs. Every one of those jobs starts the same way: Bohdan runs the logs at full output for 20 minutes and takes a surface reading where the bottom of the screen will sit. Across the Metroplex about 1 in 8 readings come back too hot for the chosen spot; then the TV moves to the wall beside the firebox, onto a pull-down mount, or higher on a tilting mount ($49) aimed down at the couch. The TV's own power cord never runs inside the wall or a raceway; a listed in-wall kit or an electrician's outlet handles power. The same crew also works in Rockwall and Garland, so a same-day slot is often open. Request a time.
From our Rowlett job log
A few jobs from the last months — the kind of walls and setups we see here most.
The Vineyards, 1990s brick home
A fire block sat halfway down the bay. Bohdan cut a small access window there and passed the low-voltage lines through.

The Peninsula, covered patio near Paddle Point Park
The patio was too shallow to keep the screen 4 feet from the open edge, so Bohdan fitted an arm that folds flat against the brick.

On-site notes from Rowlett jobs
- Bayside is still building — construction traffic, new gates.
- Humidity off the lake: outdoor connectors get weatherproof covers.
- Waterview HOA covers exteriors only.

TV mounting in Rowlett, TX: common questions
Can you mount a TV on my lake patio in Rowlett?
Yes — outdoor-rated TV, weather-rated mount, stainless hardware.
How do you deal with glare from the lake?
Placement first, then tilt or a full-motion arm to turn the screen from the windows.
How much does TV mounting cost in Rowlett?
$119 up to 60 inches, $129 up to 85 inches, no travel fee.
Can you hide the cables inside the wall in Rowlett?
In most homes, yes — $69 per TV with a UL-listed in-wall power kit.
Do you install TVs in homes rebuilt after the 2015 tornado?
Yes. Newer framing is straight and often pre-wired; we use the builder's box when it's in the right spot.
Is Rowlett too far for a same-day visit?
No. Rowlett sits between Garland and Rockwall, two towns our North Dallas crew already covers, so a request sent in the morning often gets an afternoon slot. Just send a wall photo and the TV size.
Can you mount a TV on a stone fireplace in Tolar Bay?
Yes. Most of that stone is veneer, so we locate the chase framing behind it and anchor there, shimming the plate where the face is uneven. A stone fireplace adds 30 to 45 minutes, and the heat test comes first.
Is a patio TV safe from lake hail?
Nothing under a cover is hail-proof, but depth helps. The April 27, 2026 storms dropped their largest hail over northeast Dallas, Rockwall and Hunt counties, so we set the screen at least 4 feet back from the open edge, or on a folding arm.
