TV Mounting & Home Theater in Austin

In the large majority of homes, yes — completely. On standard interior walls with accessible framing, we run the TV's power and HDMI (and any speaker or device cables) inside the wall using proper in-wall rated cabling and recessed outlet kits, so the television appears to float with absolutely nothing visible below it. That clean, wire-free 'floating TV' look is exactly what most of our clients come to us for, and it's the single biggest difference between a professional install and a DIY job with a cord dangling to the outlet. There are a few situations where a fully in-wall run isn't possible or advisable — for example some exterior walls, walls with fire-blocking, masonry or concrete, or certain over-fireplace configurations — and in those cases we install a slim, paintable surface raceway that we can color-match to your wall so it essentially disappears from normal viewing distance. During booking we'll ask about your wall type and, when needed, take a quick look so we can tell you exactly which method applies to your specific situation and quote it accurately up front. Either way, the goal and the result are the same: no cords hanging down, no cable box on display, just a clean mounted TV. If a truly hidden install matters to you, just tell us — it's our specialty.

Yes, when it's done correctly — and doing it correctly is precisely what you're paying a professional for. The safety of any TV mount comes down to what it's anchored into: we locate the wall studs (or use the proper heavy-duty anchors rated for the load when studs aren't where they need to be), select a mount rated well above your TV's weight and size, and secure it so it's rock-solid with zero sag or wobble. We routinely and safely mount very large televisions, including 75-inch and 85-inch sets, on a wide range of wall types including brick, stone, tile, and concrete. Over-fireplace installs are popular and we do them all the time; the main considerations there are heat (we make sure the mount location is a safe distance from direct heat), height and viewing angle (a tilting or pull-down mount often makes a fireplace TV far more comfortable to watch), and running the wiring cleanly given the mantel and firebox. We'll advise you honestly on whether your specific fireplace is a good spot and what mount will make it comfortable to view. Because we're fully insured and guarantee damage-free work, you can be confident the installation is secure, safe, and won't harm your wall or your TV — a rock-solid, level mount you never have to think about again.

Every job is a little different, so we give you a clear, upfront price when you book rather than a vague hourly rate. A straightforward TV mount is very affordable; the price then depends on a handful of factors: the size of the TV, the wall type (drywall is quicker than brick, stone, or tile), whether you want the wires concealed in-wall or in a raceway, whether it's a standard wall or a more involved over-fireplace mount, and whether you're adding a soundbar or full surround sound. Home theater installations are quoted based on the scope — how many speakers, projector versus TV, wiring runs, and calibration — but always as a clear number you approve before we start. To get an accurate quote, just tell us your TV size, your wall type, and what you're hoping for (for example, 'mount a 65-inch on drywall with wires hidden and a soundbar'), and we'll give you a firm price, usually right over the phone or from a couple of photos. There are no surprise charges — the price we quote is the price you pay, and it includes the mounting, the concealment method we agree on, and setting the TV up ready to watch. Fair, transparent pricing is part of why our customers rebook us for every room.

Either way works, whatever's easiest for you. We carry high-quality mounts for every TV size and mounting style — fixed low-profile, tilting, and full-motion articulating arms — and we're happy to supply the right one for your TV and how you want to use it, which takes the guesswork out of matching a mount to your set and wall. If you'd rather buy your own mount, that's completely fine too; just have it on hand and we'll install it, though we'll let you know if what you bought isn't suitable or safe for your TV and wall before we proceed. Our advice is that the mount matters more than people think: a cheap mount can sag, sit crooked over time, or not hold a large TV securely, and the type of mount (fixed versus tilting versus full-motion) makes a real difference for glare, viewing angle, and reaching the ports behind the TV — especially over a fireplace or in a bright room. When you book, tell us your TV's exact size and model if you have it and whether you already have a mount, and we'll make sure you end up with the right hardware for a safe, level, great-looking install. We want your setup to look and work perfectly for years, and the right mount is the foundation of that.
