Fireplace guide
Mounting a TV over a fireplace
The fireplace is where most Nashville living rooms want the TV, and it’s where the details matter most: what the fireplace is made of, how high the screen ends up, and where the cables go. Here’s how each choice works, with the prices you’ll see in booking.

Daniel’s take
“Most modern fireplaces can accommodate a TV above them, but heat is the deciding factor. I recommend running the fireplace and checking the temperature at the proposed TV location against the manufacturer’s specifications. A mantel can help redirect heat, but every fireplace is different.”
What the fireplace is made of
Above-fireplace placement is +$50 per TV. The surface adds its own line on standard mounting:
- DrywallIncluded
- Plaster or brick+$50
- Decorative stone, stucco or faux brick+$100
- Tile+$150
Fixed, tilt, full-motion or MantelMount
A fixed or tilt mount keeps the TV tight to the wall above the mantel. A full-motion mount lets it pull out and turn, like the 65" LG above a linear electric fireplace in East Nashville. A MantelMount pull-down brings the screen down to eye level, and the MantelMount MM815 is the top-of-the-line motorized model that does it with a remote.
