TV Installation & Mounting in Allandale, Austin, TX
Allandale is a 1950s and early-60s neighborhood north of 45th Street, built mostly as single-story homes with wood siding or brick fronts and the plaster-over-drywall hybrid walls of that era. The framing is solid but often sits on 24-inch centers or lands a few inches away from where a modern layout wants the TV. We plan the bracket position around the real studs and use a spanning plate when the center of the wall falls between them.

Walls, buildings, and access in Allandale
Many Allandale homeowners have opened up the living room and kept a fireplace that was originally brick and is now painted, plastered, or tiled over. Each of those finishes needs a different anchor, and a painted brick face can hide a mortar joint exactly where a stud finder suggests drilling. We find the brick courses by tapping before we mark anything.
The neighborhood has wide streets, driveway parking, and no HOA restrictions on interior work, so scheduling is simple. Attic access is usually through a hallway hatch, which makes in-wall cable routing on interior and exterior walls alike a clean job rather than a guess.

FAQ
Allandale questions
The studs in my Allandale house are in the wrong spot for a centered TV. What do you do?
We mount a steel backer plate across the two nearest studs and hang the bracket from the plate, so the TV lands centered without relying on drywall anchors. It is a standard step on 1950s framing and adds no cost.
Can you mount over a painted or tiled-over brick fireplace?
Yes. We locate the brick courses under the finish by tapping, drill into the brick body rather than a mortar joint, and use sleeve anchors sized for the TV. Tile over brick gets a diamond bit so the tile does not chip.
Is it possible to hide cable inside the walls of a 1950s house?
In most Allandale homes, yes. We check the stud bay for old wiring or blocking, run an in-wall rated power and HDMI kit, and use the attic where the route crosses a wall top plate.
Do you serve the streets between Burnet Road and Mopac?
Yes. All of Allandale from Anderson Lane south to 45th Street, and west to Shoal Creek, is inside our regular route.
