TV Mounting Services in Arlington, TX
HouseBench offers a TV mounting service in Arlington, TX that gets your screen to the right height on a secure mount, with the cables hidden or at least neatly covered. We work on drywall, brick, and stone, in living rooms, game rooms, and covered backyard patios. This is Cowboys and Rangers country, so a TV that every seat in the room can see is not a small thing on game day.
A wall-mounted TV frees up floor space and removes the tip-over risk of a TV on a stand, which matters in homes with kids or pets. The real work is finding something solid to anchor to, picking a height you'll still like in a year, and dealing with the cords.
Requests are open 24/7. Technicians are background checked, and completed work carries a 30-day warranty.
What’s Included in Every Visit
The same six things happen on every standard visit.
A Secure Anchor Point
Wood studs, or masonry we've checked first. Drywall alone is fine for a picture frame, not for a TV.
Compatibility Checks
We confirm the mount matches your TV's VESA pattern (the screw-hole layout on the back of the TV) and is rated for its weight.
Bracket Installation
Bracket on, bubble level out, TV hung and locked.
Device Connection
Everything gets plugged in over HDMI, and we test the picture, the sound, and the remote before we call it done.
Mount Styles, Wall Types, and Setups That Fit the Room
A brick fireplace, a rental wall, and a covered patio each want something different, and so does the way you watch.
Fixed, Tilting, and Full-Motion Mounts
The mount has to match your TV's VESA pattern and weight, and it goes into wood studs or masonry, never drywall alone. Full-motion mounts are the strict case, since the extended arm adds leverage. Last, we level the screen and check that the TV is locked onto the bracket.
Above a Brick or Stone Fireplace
We first check whether the fireplace is solid brick or veneer over a wood frame, since each needs different anchors. A tilting or pull-down mount usually gives a more comfortable viewing angle. To check the heat, run the fireplace for 30 minutes and feel the wall. If it's too warm for your hand, it's too warm for the TV. Hiding wires isn't always possible here, so a cord cover may be the cleaner option.
Patios and Backyards
We use weather-resistant mounts and hardware, and we seal every hole in an exterior wall to keep water out. Outdoor TVs need a GFCI outlet with a weatherproof cover, which a licensed electrician must install if you don't have one. In North Texas heat an outdoor-rated TV is the better call, since an indoor set may fail or lose its warranty outside.
Hiding the Cables
The dangling cord is what people notice first on a mounted TV. A regular power cord should never run inside a wall, though, because it's against electrical code and a fire risk. On drywall we use a code-compliant in-wall power kit. On brick or rental walls, paintable cord covers do the job.
When You’ll Need an Electrician
Under Texas law, new outlets, outdoor GFCI outlets, and hardwired power must be installed by a licensed electrician. We'll tell you during your call if your setup needs one.
Soundbars, Shelves, and Streaming Devices
Soundbars go below the TV, and floating shelves hold cable boxes or consoles. Streaming sticks can hide behind the screen, but anything with an infrared remote usually needs to stay visible.
From a Photo of Your Wall to a Tested Screen
Most of the work happens before anyone picks up a drill.

FAQs
Get a quoteThe price depends on the TV size, mount type, wall material, and whether you want the cables hidden. Mounting on brick or stone, or above a fireplace, usually takes more time than standard drywall. We'll give you a clear estimate when you request a call.
For most living rooms, the center of the screen should be close to eye level when you're seated, which is typically about 40 to 45 inches from the floor for standard sofa seating. Above a fireplace, a tilting or pull-down mount helps bring the screen to a more comfortable angle. We'll help you choose the height before we drill.
Yes, with a hammer drill, masonry bits, and anchors rated for your TV and mount. The holes are permanent, but they can be patched if you move the TV later.
Often, yes. We can use a wider mounting plate that reaches nearby studs, or shift the position slightly. Fixed mounts for lighter TVs can sometimes use heavy-duty anchors rated for the load, but a full-motion mount should always be anchored to studs or masonry.
On most drywall, yes, with a code-compliant in-wall power kit and in-wall-rated cables. On brick, stone, rental walls, or walls with blocked framing, we use paintable cord covers instead.
Not always. A plug-in power kit can bring power up from an existing outlet below the TV.
It can be, if the wall stays cool enough. The 30-minute heat test described above is the check, and your TV manual will have its own heat warning. A deep mantel helps.
You can, if it's in a fully covered, shaded spot. Heat, humidity, and dust can still shorten its life, and outdoor damage may not be covered by the TV's warranty. An outdoor-rated TV is the better choice for a patio that gets afternoon sun or blowing rain.
Yes. We can take down an old mount, and our drywall repair service can patch and finish the holes so the wall is ready for paint.
Size matters less than weight and what's behind the wall. Give us your TV's size or model and we'll check the mount's rating and the anchoring before the visit.
Yes, if your lease allows wall mounting, so check with your property manager first. Some apartments have metal studs or concrete walls, which need different hardware, so mention your building type up front.
