Two-story family rooms and the mantel
A lot of Allen houses put the family room under a two-story ceiling with the fireplace on the long wall. That layout can park a TV higher than anyone wants once they sit down. Compare the mantel location with an open stretch of wall from the chair you use. If the face is stone, brick, tile, or wood slats, pick that option while booking so the total matches the work. A soundbar under a mantel needs its own gap. Photograph the mantel thickness, not only the TV box.
