Your options
Tidy and bundle
Cables behind the TV and down to the console are cut to length where possible, bundled and secured so nothing dangles.
Paintable cord cover
A slim channel on the wall surface that hides every cable from the TV to the outlet. It can be painted to match the wall and works on brick and drywall alike.
In-wall concealment
On drywall with open space behind it, cables run inside the wall using an in-wall rated power kit and recessed plates. Nothing shows between the TV and the console.
The safe way to hide wires
Regular TV power cords and extension cords aren't rated to run inside walls, and doing it is a fire-code problem. When we conceal power in a wall, we use kits made and rated for exactly that. HDMI and low-voltage cables are routed separately.
Adding a new outlet or moving an existing one is licensed electrical work. If your setup needs one, we'll tell you where it should go so a licensed electrician can add it.
Fireplaces and masonry walls
Solid brick, stone and concrete usually can't carry cables inside, and fireplace chases can be tricky. In those cases a painted surface cover or careful routing along the mantel or trim gives the cleanest result.
Common questions
Can you hide the wires?
Yes. Options range from bundling cables neatly behind the TV, to a slim paintable cord cover on the wall, to in-wall concealment on suitable walls using kits rated for in-wall use. We never run standard power cords inside a wall, because they aren't rated for it.
Can you add an outlet behind the TV?
Adding or moving an outlet is electrical work that requires a licensed electrician in Texas, and we don't perform licensed electrical work. We'll tell you exactly where an outlet should go so an electrician can add it, and plan the TV install around it.
Can you mount a TV above a fireplace?
Yes. Fireplace installs need extra planning for viewing height, heat, mantel clearance and where the wires will go, and the approach depends on whether the surround is brick, stone, tile or drywall.
Why do you ask for photos?
Photos of the wall, your TV's model label and any mount you already have show us the details that change a job: wall material, outlet locations, fireplace clearances and whether a mount fits your TV. That lets us quote accurately before we arrive. Your photos stay private and are only used for your request.
