Over the fireplace is the question I get asked about most, and the one a lot of companies say no to. I say yes when the wall allows it, and I tell you straight when it does not.

This is the one that can be done with the wires completely hidden. I cut in, fish the cable down behind the wall, and install a rated pass-through so power and HDMI come out clean at the bottom. Nothing on the wall at all, no channel over the mantel.
Several national companies will not run in-wall above a fireplace at all. I will, when framing and clearance allow, and I check both before anything gets cut.
Different animal. Brick will not take an in-wall run, so the work is all in the anchoring — masonry bit, correct sleeve anchors, one shot per hole.
I usually recommend a full-motion arm so the screen pulls out and angles down. That matters when the TV sits above mantel height.
How hot the wall above the firebox actually gets in use. Most modern fireplaces are fine. Some older ones are not, and no mount is worth cooking a television.
Above a mantel is higher than ideal viewing height. A tilting or full-motion mount there is not an upsell, it is the difference between watching comfortably and looking up all night.

Yes. HandyTech LLC Hattiesburg mounts TVs over both drywall and brick fireplaces. On drywall I can usually run the wires completely inside the wall. On brick, in-wall is not possible, so the work goes into proper masonry anchoring.
In most modern homes, yes. I check how hot the wall above the firebox actually gets before quoting. If heat is a problem I will tell you rather than take the job.
On drywall, yes, with a rated in-wall pass-through. On brick or stone, no, because there is no cavity to fish through. Some national installers refuse in-wall over a fireplace entirely.
Usually yes. Above a mantel puts the screen higher than comfortable viewing height, so a tilting or full-motion mount lets you angle it down.
$189 for 33 to 60 inch TVs and $209 for 61 inches and up, cord management included. In-wall concealment on drywall adds $69 with your kit or $149 with mine.
Harder surfaces take longer and cost more, and each one has its own rules.
Text a photo of your wall and I will give you a real number. I answer my own phone.
