In-Wall Wire ConcealmentCharlotte, NC

In-wall wire concealment is the cleanest way to mount a TV — no visible cables, no surface raceways, just the TV on the wall like it grew there. Our Charlotte team installs in-wall concealment as part of our Pro Conceal and Full Cinema packages, or as a $40 add-on to any standard mount. Most homes are perfect candidates: drywall walls with stud bays where we can run code-compliant low-voltage cables vertically from the TV down to a power outlet behind the entertainment console.

How in-wall wire concealment works.

When you mount a TV without wire concealment, you typically end up with a black HDMI cable and white power cable visible against the wall. Surface raceways (plastic channels) hide them but still leave a visible bump on the wall. True in-wall concealment routes the cables INSIDE the wall through the stud bay — invisible, code-compliant, and permanent. We use a recessed power kit (an in-wall outlet near the TV plus a low-voltage HDMI/power passthrough plate near the floor), drill bypass holes through the top and bottom plates of the stud bay, and fish the cables down. The whole process takes 20-40 minutes for a standard installation. The result: a TV that looks like it floats on the wall with zero visible cables. We use UL-listed low-voltage rated materials per electrical code — important because regular HDMI/power cables are not rated for in-wall use and can be a fire hazard. Our installation is fully compliant with the National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 800.

Our 5-step process.

1

Wall Inspection

We locate studs, check for fire blocks, insulation, or HVAC ducts in the bay. If the wall is suitable, we proceed.

2

Drill Access Holes

Two precise holes — one behind the TV mount, one near the floor outlet. We drill through top/bottom plates as needed.

3

Install Recessed Plates

UL-listed in-wall power kit at TV height. Low-voltage HDMI passthrough plate at floor height. Both flush with the wall.

4

Fish Cables

HDMI, power, optional ethernet routed through stud bay using fish tape and proper bend radius.

5

Connect & Test

TV plugged into recessed outlet, source devices connect at floor plate. Full picture/sound test before we leave.

When this is the right service

  • TV is being mounted high on the wall (above fireplace, on tall walls)
  • You want a premium "floating TV" look with zero visible cables
  • Walls are drywall (most common — works in 95% of Charlotte homes)
  • You're part of a Pro Conceal or Full Cinema package — concealment included
  • You want it done right the first time and done to code

When it's not the best fit

  • Solid concrete or brick walls without stud cavities
  • Steel-stud commercial walls (different fire-block requirements)
  • When the path from TV to outlet has HVAC or plumbing in the way

Common questions about in-wall wire concealment.

Is in-wall wire concealment safe?

Yes — when done correctly with UL-listed low-voltage rated materials and proper electrical code compliance, in-wall concealment is completely safe and permanent. We never run regular non-rated HDMI or power cables inside walls. Our installation meets NEC Article 800.

Will you damage my walls?

No. We use only two small access holes (a few inches each) covered by recessed plates flush with the wall. No demolition, no large patches. The plates look intentional and clean.

How long does the installation take?

20–40 minutes for most Charlotte homes with standard 2x4 wood-stud drywall construction. Add 10–20 minutes for fire blocks, insulation, or unusual wall configurations.

Will it work above my fireplace?

Almost always yes. We route cables down the side of the fireplace surround and into the wall behind it. Stone and brick fireplaces add complexity but we handle them regularly. May add $30 for masonry work.

How much does in-wall wire concealment cost in Charlotte?

$40 add-on with any TV mount, OR included free in our Pro Conceal ($189) and Full Cinema ($249) packages. No separate charge for materials — everything included.

Can I run ethernet inside the wall too?

Yes. We can run HDMI, power, ethernet, and optical audio cables in the same stud bay. Same flat fee — just mention it when booking.
