The Mount Decides How the Install Reads
A poorly mounted TV undoes everything else. The display tilts. The cables show. The bracket creaks when the kids press the screen. The right mount is invisible — flush against the wall, level to the eye, holding the display exactly where the room wants it and never giving a thought to the structure beneath. We specify Sanus premium mounts as the standard for every Dallas-Fort Worth install, with Future Automation motorized lifts and drop systems for the rooms where the display should disappear when it's not in use.
Sanus VLT and VMPL mounts give you full-motion articulation for the rooms where the TV needs to pivot to multiple seating zones. Fixed flush mounts pull the display tight to the wall — half an inch off the surface — for the cleanest possible read in modern interiors. Tilt mounts handle the rooms where the display sits high above the mantle and needs to angle down toward the viewer.
Future Automation: The TV That Hides
For the rooms where a TV doesn't belong when it's off, we install Future Automation lift mechanisms. The display drops from the ceiling into the room when summoned and disappears back into the joist cavity when the evening is done. Or it rises from a custom cabinet at the foot of the bed, the foot of the pool, or the foot of the dining table.
These mechanisms are mechanical art. Whisper-quiet motors. Precision rails. Soft-start, soft-stop motion that takes ten to fifteen seconds and looks like the room is breathing. They join your Savant scenes so "Movie Time" raises the screen along with everything else.
Cable Concealment and Power
Every TV we install runs power and signal through the wall — never down the front. We fish low-voltage cabling through the cavity, terminate behind the display, and route to the equipment closet or rack. Power runs through a code-compliant in-wall outlet placed directly behind the mount.
For homes with hard surfaces — stone walls, brick fireplaces, plaster — we use surface-mount conduit finished to match the wall, or we coordinate with the contractor during a renovation to chase the wall properly. The display reads as if the cables aren't there. Because, to the eye, they aren't.
The Questions People Actually Ask.
Can you mount a TV over a fireplace?
Yes — but with conditions. We measure mantle clearance, check heat exposure with an infrared thermometer, and only proceed if the display will sit in a safe temperature zone. Where heat is a concern, we install a heat-deflecting shelf or recommend a tilt mount that angles the screen down to viewing height.
How long does a typical TV install take?
A standard wall mount with concealed cabling runs 3-5 hours. A motorized lift install runs 6-10 hours depending on construction. Complex installs with custom millwork or in-wall conduit through finished walls run longer — we quote each project precisely.
Will I see any cables after install?
No. Every cable runs inside the wall from the display to either the equipment closet or a wall plate behind nearby cabinetry. The mount itself is the only hardware visible — and a flush mount sits within half an inch of the wall.
Do you mount outdoor TVs?
Yes — outdoor TV installations are covered under our outdoor entertainment service. Weather-rated mounts, marine-grade fasteners, sealed cable penetrations.
