On the ground
What we find behind the walls in Round Rock
Round Rock is its own city north of Austin in Williamson County, and most of the housing we see there was built from the late 1990s onward in subdivisions like Teravista, Forest Creek, and Behrens Ranch. That means predictable 16 inch stud framing, drywall, and builder-installed fireplaces that are usually a cast-stone or stacked-stone veneer surround rather than solid masonry. The veneer changes the anchor strategy: we go through it into the framing or a backer behind it rather than relying on the stone itself.
The other thing Round Rock gives us is height. Two-story great rooms with the fireplace and TV wall rising to a vaulted ceiling are standard in the newer builds, and the owners who call us are usually putting a 75 to 85 inch panel up there. That is a two-technician lift, a heavy-duty tilt bracket, and sometimes a backer across three studs. Round Rock is a drive from our base, so we batch jobs by day and ask for photos first so there is no second trip for a missing anchor.
