TV Mounting in Henderson, NV

Townsite walls near Water Street

The houses that ring Water Street began as wartime housing for Basic Magnesium workers, built in 1941–1942 as temporary dwellings and sold to private owners in 1951. In the original rooms, interior walls and ceilings are often quarter-inch plywood with battens over the seams. We locate the studs behind that sheet and lag the mount into them; the plywood itself never carries the TV. A cable opening in plywood leaves a scar no patch hides, so here we usually run a painted raceway along a batten, where it reads as trim ($39). We have hidden cables in about 15 Townsite houses, and rooms added later are often drywall, where an in-wall run works. Inside a wall, power travels only through a listed in-wall power kit, never the TV cord itself. See our raceway guide or book cable concealment.

Henderson fireplaces before and after 1996

Henderson's Ordinance 1697 of 1996 ended new open wood-burning hearths: since then a new fireplace must use listed gas logs, be a dedicated gas or EPA Phase II unit, a code-compliant masonry fireplace, or an electric appliance. About 2 in 5 of our 70+ Henderson fireplace jobs are in homes older than that rule, mostly Green Valley and the older tracts. So at a pre-1996 hearth we first ask what burns in the firebox. Wood throws more heat and soot up the face than gas logs, so the screen usually goes higher on a tilting mount ($49) and the cables stay off the stone. Newer gas units get the same routine: the fireplace runs during the visit and we read the wall before choosing a height. Stone veneer on these surrounds is decoration, not structure, so anchors reach the framing or masonry behind it. More in fireplace TV installation.
