East Cobb's family rooms — Indian Hills, Walton High district, Pope district — almost always have a fireplace as the focal wall. Mounting a TV above it is the most-requested install in the area, but doing it right means picking the right anchors, hitting ergonomic height, and routing cables out of sight.
East Cobb Fireplace Surfaces
- Brick (1970s–1990s ranches and traditionals): strong, easy to anchor
- Stone (newer custom builds): stacked ledger and natural stone
- Drywall above mantel: easiest install but often the highest TV position
- Tile / marble surrounds: diamond drilling required
The Height Question
Most East Cobb fireplaces put the TV center at 60–66 inches off the floor — 18+ inches above ergonomic seated eye level. Two fixes:
- Tilt mount, 10°–15° downward angle — quick budget fix
- MantelMount pull-down — drops to ergonomic height on demand, returns over the mantel when not in use

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount a TV above my East Cobb fireplace?
Yes — brick, stone, drywall, and tile fireplaces all support TV mounting with the right anchors and heat clearance.
How much does it cost?
Brick and stone are $199 to $399. Tile and marble are $249 to $399. MantelMount installs add $199 to $399 in labor on top of the bracket.
Will the heat damage my TV?
Not when there's proper clearance above the firebox. We measure mantel depth and TV-back temperature before final placement.
Is the TV too high above an East Cobb fireplace?
Often, yes. A tilt mount or a MantelMount pull-down brings the screen to ergonomic seated eye level when watching.
Can you hide the wires on a brick or stone fireplace?
Yes — we route up and over the mantel through the wall cavity above. The masonry face stays untouched.
