Meyerland, conceived by George Meyer and opened in 1955, now mixes three kinds of homes: original brick ranches, houses lifted several feet above the Brays Bayou floodplain, and the larger apartment complexes where many residents rent. Taras, our west-side technician, knows each of those walls, brings the right anchors and can usually come the same day.
TV mounting in Meyerland 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 brick or stone.
Original mid-century ranch houses have wood studs, drywall or paneling and long low walls with clerestory windows. Stud spacing is standard, so two studs and lag bolts hold any TV up to 85 inches; we keep the screen at a comfortable height for low ceilings. Drywall mounting.
Raised and rebuilt homes often have brand-new drywall on new studs after the flood repairs — and sometimes a wall that was patched in sections. We confirm each stud rather than trusting a pattern, and because the walls were recently open, it's the ideal moment to run cables inside ($69).
If you're finishing a remodel, book us after paint and before the furniture: we can place the TV exactly where the outlet and the cable plate are, or add an in-wall power kit where they should have been. Hiding cables inside the wall.
Ranch-house dens have 8-foot ceilings, and a big TV hung too high is the most common complaint we fix. Center the screen near seated eye level — our height calculator helps. TV height guide.
15,778 homes and about 35,032 residents. The age and type of a home decide what is behind the drywall, so we check this before we quote.

Almost half the housing here, 49.0%, dates from the 1960s and 70s, so the typical wall we work on is a wood-stud ranch wall, often beside a brick den fireplace and sometimes with a horizontal fire block in the bay. Meanwhile 28.8% of units sit in buildings of 20 or more, and 55.1% of households rent, so many Meyerland calls begin with a lease question: how many holes are allowed, and may the cables stay on the surface?
After three floods in three years (2015, 2016 and Harvey in 2017), Meyerland has been lifting itself up. KHOU counted 40 homes elevated and 57 more underway in 2018, and ABC13 reported a Braeswood Place house raised about 7 feet 7 inches. For a TV wall, an elevated home changes three things. First, the stairs: a 75- or 85-inch box goes up with two people. Second, framing from two eras: a lifted 1960s house keeps its old studs while rebuilt rooms get new ones, and the joint between them is where Taras checks twice. Third, power: if the rebuild left no outlet at TV height, we fit a listed in-wall power kit, because the TV's own cord never belongs inside a wall. Open walls are the best moment for in-wall cable concealment.

More than half of Meyerland households rent, many in the larger complexes around the neighborhood. Most leases we see allow a mount that goes into studs, with holes patched at move-out; some ask for written approval, so send your manager a note before the visit. Our setup fits that: a fixed or tilting mount lagged into two studs, the HDMI and antenna lines in paintable raceway at $39, and the power cord kept out of the raceway and plugged into the outlet below. When the lease ends, we take the TV and mount down ($49). Taras also covers Bellaire next door, and our renter's guide to hiding wires lays out the options. Weekday same-day slots open often: send a request with a photo of the wall.
