TV mounting over a fireplace
A TV over the fireplace looks great when it is done right: anchored into the masonry, heat-checked, and set at an angle you can actually watch. We do exactly that across Santa Clarita and the valleys.
- Mantel heat check
- Stone, brick, tile
- Pull-down mounts
- Angle set with you
Over-fireplace work we do
- Stone, tile and brick anchoring
- Pull-down mantel mounts
- Tilt mounts for the viewing angle
- Mantel heat and clearance check
- Wire concealment where the wall allows
- Recessed outlet behind the TV
- Height set for comfortable viewing
- Clean masonry drilling
Why a fireplace is its own job
Stone, brick and the drill we use
Masonry takes a hammer drill and the right bit, with the anchor set into solid brick or stone and never into the mortar joint. Stone veneer and tile get a diamond bit with no hammer action, so the face does not crack. Many fireplace walls in the valley are wood framing wrapped in stucco or veneer, and we confirm which one yours is before we commit to a method.
If you are still deciding whether the fireplace is the right wall at all, our fireplace guide covers heat, height and mount choice in plain words.

TV over the fireplace questions
Is a TV over the fireplace too high to watch?
It can be, which is why we use a tilt or a pull-down mount. A pull-down brings the screen down and forward to eye level when you watch, then tucks it back up when you are done.
Can you hide the wires over a fireplace?
Usually. On a framed wall we fish the cables to a recessed outlet; on solid masonry we run a clean paintable raceway. We tell you which applies before we start.
Will the heat damage my TV?
We check the mantel temperature and the clearance. If it runs hot, we recommend a pull-down mount so the TV sits away from the heat when it is up, or a different wall.
Do you mount into stone veneer without cracking it?
Yes. Veneer and tile get a diamond bit without hammer action, and the anchors go through to the structure behind. Holes land in grout lines where the layout allows.
