How we work
Living-room jobs, done carefully
Fireplace and stone mounting is the house specialty. TV mounting, home theater and sound, outdoor sets, soundbars and cameras — two of us on every large set, and we don't leave until it works.
Same drop cloths, same vacuum before we pack up, same rule: if we can't leave it cleaner than we found it, we're not done yet.
01
Cleaner than we found it
Drop cloths down, dust vacuumed, packaging and old hardware leave with us. Every job.
02
Two of us, every time
Nobody asks you to grab a corner of your own TV. Large sets get four hands, always.
03
Tested before we go
On, leveled, inputs working, remote in your hand. Then we leave.
Pricing
Simple starting prices. The exact number, on one call.
No trip fee, no "assessment", no surprise line items when we pack up.

Pull-down or motorized. The TV comes to eye level, then tucks back away.

Why stone
Hill country homes are stone everything
Out past Dripping Springs and Driftwood, the fireplace IS the wall. Limestone slab, stacked stone, cast stone two feet thick. It's the feature the room gets built around, and it's the surface most installers would rather not touch.
Drilling it wrong cracks it, and a cracked hearth isn't a warranty claim, it's a mason. So a lot of quotes get padded until the customer goes away.
We do this work weekly, and we anchor into the stone itself. Never the mortar, because mortar crumbles. We know which bit each surface takes, where the firebox flue likely runs, and how to get power up behind a solid surface without a channel down the front of your stone.
Mantel mounts
Too high over the fireplace? It comes to you.
A mantel mount pulls the TV down and forward to eye level while you watch, then tucks it back above the mantel when you're done. We install MantelMount systems, the pull-down hardware that started the category. The motorized version does it all on a remote.
This one lives over black marble we set the mount into before the stone went up. Tap through to see the twelve seconds that sell it.

Questions
Straight answers
How much does TV mounting cost in Austin?
TV mounting starts at $99, and fireplace or stone work starts at $179. The exact number depends on the size, the surface and what you want done with the cords. Call and a real person prices it on the spot, any hour.
Can you mount a TV above a stone fireplace?
Yes. It's the job we do most. Limestone, stacked stone, cast stone, brick, all routine. One rule never changes: we anchor into the stone itself, never the mortar. Mortar crumbles. We bring the right bit for every surface.
Do you build home theaters and whole-house audio?
Yes, and that work gets looked at before it gets priced. Projectors, screens, surround, in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, racks, multi-room. Ask for the free design consult and one of the owners comes out for half an hour to see the room. No charge and no obligation.
Do you offer same-day TV mounting?
Often, yes. It depends on where you are and what the day looks like. Call and we'll tell you honestly rather than book you and cancel.
Do I need to buy the mount?
No. We supply quality mounts at fair prices and quote the right one for your TV and wall on the call. Already got one? We'll happily fit it.
Tell us about the wall.
Size, surface, and whether there's power up there. That's usually enough for a price on the spot.
