TV Mounting in Rollingwood, Austin, TX

Rollingwood is its own small city just west of Zilker Park, and a large share of its original mid-century homes have been replaced by bigger rebuilds on the same lots. The result is a neighborhood of newer construction with standard framing, open plans, and rooms that were drawn with screens in mind. A dedicated media room, a great room with a fireplace wall, a home office, and at least one bedroom TV is a normal list.

That list is why Rollingwood projects are usually whole-home rather than single-room. Each screen installed separately means a streaming box and a power brick behind every television. Planned together, the runs converge on one closet or cabinet, the equipment lives in one place, and each room shows only the screen. We map the house in the consultation, then finish most three-to-five room homes in one day.

The media rooms deserve their own note. A light-controlled room with seating in rows wants a larger screen mounted lower than a living room would, and often a soundbar or surround wiring run at the same time.
