Scotts Mill two-story family room
The builder's box sat 14 feet up; after the heat test, Tymofii and a second technician hung the TV a foot lower, into framing behind the veneer.

TV Mounting in Apex, NC
Apex led the country in new homes per capita in 2018, so most TV walls here belong to two-story family rooms, gas fireplaces and bonus rooms over the garage. Tymofii and our west Cary crew mount the screen, hide the wires and test the fireplace heat, often on the day you call.
TV mounting in Apex 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, stone or plaster.

New subdivisions and railroad-era houses
New homes are drywall on wood studs with a gas fireplace on the TV wall. Heat check first, then a tilting mount ($49). TVs over fireplaces.
Old houses near Salem Street can have plaster or plank walls. We find the framing and mount into it. Studs behind plaster.
Outlets in the wrong place
Builders rarely put the outlet where the TV goes. We run the cables inside the wall ($69) to a recessed box behind the screen. Hiding cables, drywall guide.
Covered porches
Covered porches and patios get outdoor-rated TVs, stainless hardware and a sealed cable entry. Outdoor TVs.

What this means for your TV wall
Apex homes are young: the median year built is 2008, and 45.5% went up in 2010 or later. That means drywall on wood studs nearly everywhere, along with production-building habits: about 1 in 5 newer walls we open are framed 24 inches apart, and about 1 in 4 two-story walls hide a fire block in the stud bay. With 63.9% of homes heated mainly by gas, the fireplace under your TV likely burns gas too.
Stacked stone and the 14-foot builder's box
Many Apex family rooms built after 2010 rise 17 to 20 feet, with a gas fireplace faced in stacked stone and the builder's cable box about 14 feet up. That spot suits the framing crew, not your neck. We sit where you watch, mark the screen center, and about half the time finish a foot or more lower on a tilting mount. Stacked stone is veneer, not structure, so bolts pass through it into the framing behind, shimmed until the plate is plumb. Before anything hangs, the fireplace runs at full output for 20 minutes and we read the surface where the TV's bottom edge will sit; about 1 in 7 readings move the screen higher or beside the firebox. Expect about two hours on site. See fireplace TV installs or try our height tool.

Bonus rooms and game rooms over the garage
Over the garage, many Apex houses keep a bonus room for the second screen and the consoles. In one Apex game room Tymofii hung a 2x1 video wall and put its controller on a ventilated shelf because the room runs warm on summer afternoons. Most bonus-room TVs go on the gable-end wall; where only a short knee wall is free, a tilting mount aims the screen down at the sofa. To hide wires we often go through the attic behind the knee wall, entering by its small door, leaving the sloped ceiling uncut, and from June to August we book those runs for mornings. Power reaches the TV through a listed in-wall kit fed by the outlet below, never a bare cord inside the wall. See cable concealment, our Holly Springs page, or send a request with a wall photo.
From our Apex job log
A few jobs from the last months — the kind of walls and setups we see here most.
Apex game room
Two technicians spent about four hours, most of it aligning the seam between the screens before setting up the controller.

Beaver Creek bonus room
Studs 24 inches apart meant a plate long enough to catch two; the cables went through the attic behind the knee wall one July morning.

TV mounting in Apex, NC: common questions
Can you mount TVs in my new Apex house?
Yes — family room, bonus room and bedrooms in one visit, into studs, with the cables run inside the wall to a recessed box behind each TV.
Can you mount a TV over my gas fireplace?
Usually yes. We check the heat and height and use a tilting mount so the screen angles toward the sofa, or a pull-down mount if it sits very high.
How much does TV mounting cost in Apex?
$119 up to 60 inches, $129 up to 85 inches and $69 to hide the cables inside the wall. No travel fee.
Can you mount a TV in an older house downtown?
Yes. We find the framing behind plaster or planks, mount into it and patch any test holes.
How fast can you get to Apex?
Usually the same day or the next — our west Cary crew is close by.
My builder set the TV outlet 14 feet up. Must I use it?
No. We mark a comfortable height from your seat, often a foot lower, and fit a tilting mount ($49). Power drops through a listed recessed in-wall kit fed from the existing outlet; the TV's own cord never goes inside the wall.
Do you work in houses in the Apex Historic District?
Yes. The district has been on the National Register since 1994, and our work stays indoors, so no new holes through siding or brick. In houses built before 1978 we drill only anchor and cable holes, with a dust shroud on the drill.
Is 24-inch stud spacing a problem for a big TV?
No. We locate each stud and choose a wall plate long enough to reach two, so lag bolts carry the weight. Screens of 75 inches and up get a second technician; 61 to 85 inches costs $129.
