In-Wall Wire Concealment
Professional Wire Concealment — Hidden TV Wires from $49
You invested in a wall‑mounted TV — now finish the job by hiding every wire. Dangling HDMI cables and power cords ruin the clean, floating look a mounted TV should deliver. TV Mounting Experts offers professional wire concealment with two proven approaches: in‑wall routing for a completely invisible setup, or surface‑mounted raceways for rentals and masonry walls where cutting isn't an option. Both methods are code‑compliant, clean, and built to last. We handle HDMI, power, optical, Ethernet, and speaker cables on drywall, plaster, brick, stone, and concrete. Same‑day appointments available in Charlotte, NC. Wire concealment is our most popular add-on to TV mounting and over-fireplace installations.
Why Choose Us for Wire Concealment
Hiding TV wires properly requires more than stuffing cables behind the wall. Power cables have electrical code requirements, low-voltage cables need in-wall rated versions, and masonry walls need different solutions entirely. Here's why customers trust us:
-
Code-Compliant In-Wall Routing
We never run bare power cables inside walls — that's a fire hazard and code violation. We use UL-listed power bridge kits or recommend recessed outlets for a fully code-compliant, invisible power connection behind the TV.
-
In-Wall Rated Cables & Proper Separation
HDMI, optical, and Ethernet cables routed through walls must be CL2 or CL3 rated. We use the right cables, maintain proper separation from power lines, and install low-voltage plates at both access points.
-
Surface Solutions for Rentals & Masonry
Can't cut into the wall? We install low-profile, paintable raceways and cord covers that blend with brick, stone, concrete, or painted surfaces. Adhesive-mounted options leave no damage when removed — ideal for renters.
-
Works on Any Wall Surface
Drywall, plaster, brick, stone, concrete, wood paneling, and tile. We match the concealment method and hardware to your specific wall type for the cleanest possible result.
-
Flat-Rate Pricing from $49
Wire concealment starts at $49 with a full quote before work begins. Price depends on the number of cables, concealment method, and wall type. No hidden fees or surprise charges.
-
Same-Day & Next-Day Availability
Need wires hidden today? We offer same-day and next-day appointments in Charlotte, NC — including weekends. Wire concealment pairs perfectly with any TV mounting service or works as a standalone visit.
-
3-Year Warranty & Fully Insured
Every wire concealment job is backed by our 3-year warranty on workmanship and materials. Our certified, background-checked technicians are fully insured for your complete peace of mind.
Wire Concealment Methods
We offer two proven approaches — matched to your wall type, living situation, and aesthetic goals:
-
In-Wall Concealment (Permanent)
The gold standard for homeowners. We cut small access points, route in-wall rated HDMI/AV cables through the wall cavity, install low-voltage plates, and use a UL-listed power bridge or recessed outlet for power. Zero visible wires — the TV appears to float.
-
Surface Raceways & Cord Covers (Non-Invasive)
For renters, brick/stone/concrete walls, or anywhere cutting isn't possible. Low-profile, paintable channels attach to the wall and hide cables discreetly. Adhesive-mount options leave no wall damage when removed.
-
Combination Approach
Some setups need both methods — in-wall routing for the main run, plus surface channels for short segments across masonry or where the wall construction changes. We design the cleanest path for your specific layout.
Flat-rate pricing, same-day availability, and a 3-year warranty on every job in Charlotte, NC.

What's Included in Our Wire Concealment Service
Every wire concealment job covers the full scope — from assessment to cleanup:
-
Wall Assessment & Method Selection
We inspect your wall type, outlet locations, and cable requirements — then recommend in-wall routing, surface channels, or a combination based on your setup and goals.
-
Complete Cable Routing
All HDMI, optical, Ethernet, speaker, and AV cables are routed through the wall or surface channels. We use CL2/CL3 rated cables for in-wall runs and maintain proper separation from power lines.
-
Code-Compliant Power Handling
Power is managed through a UL-listed power bridge kit, a recessed outlet behind the TV, or neat surface routing with cord covers — no bare power cables inside walls, ever.
-
Plate Installation & Finishing
For in-wall jobs, we install low-voltage brush plates at access points for a professional finish. For surface jobs, raceways are trimmed to exact length and secured flush to the wall.
-
Signal Testing & Cleanup
We verify signal quality on every HDMI/optical run, confirm all connections work, and leave the area clean — no drywall dust, no cable scraps, no packaging.
What's NOT Included (Limitations & Exclusions)
To set clear expectations, the following fall outside our standard wire concealment service:
-
Cable Purchases
You provide the HDMI, optical, Ethernet, and speaker cables — or we can advise on the right type and length before your appointment. In-wall rated cables (CL2/CL3) are required for wall routing.
-
New Electrical Outlet Installation
Adding a recessed outlet behind the TV requires a licensed electrician. We'll mark the exact placement so the outlet aligns perfectly with the mount.
-
Drywall Repair & Painting
In-wall routing requires small access holes that we cut cleanly. Patching and repainting to match your wall finish is not included but is minimal work for any handyman.
-
Structural Modifications
We do not cut through load-bearing studs, fire blocks, concrete, or masonry for wire routing. If the wall construction prevents in-wall routing, we'll recommend the best surface alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions — Wire Concealment
How much does wire concealment cost?
Wire concealment starts at $49 for basic surface cord cover installation. In-wall routing typically costs more depending on the number of cables, wall type, and run length. We provide a flat-rate quote before starting — no hidden fees.
Can you hide the power cord inside the wall?
Running a standard power cord loose inside a wall is a fire hazard and violates NEC electrical code. Instead, we use a UL-listed power bridge kit that's specifically designed for safe in-wall power transfer, or we recommend installing a recessed outlet behind the TV. Both solutions are code-compliant and fully concealed.
What's the difference between wire concealment and cable management?
Wire concealment focuses on hiding cables from view — routing them through the wall or behind surface channels. Cable management is the broader service that also includes organizing, bundling, and labeling cables behind consoles and entertainment centers. We offer both, and they pair well together.
Can you hide wires on a brick or stone wall?
Yes. Since in-wall routing isn't possible on masonry, we use color-matched surface raceways, paintable cord covers, or channels that follow mortar lines on brick for a near-invisible result. We can also route cables behind the masonry if there's a drywall cavity behind it.
Is wire concealment safe for renters?
Yes — our surface raceway and cord cover solutions use adhesive mounting that leaves no permanent wall damage when removed. It's the ideal solution for apartments and rental homes where you can't cut into the walls.
Can I get wire concealment for an existing TV mount?
Absolutely. Wire concealment is available as a standalone service — you don't need a new TV mount. We work with any existing wall-mounted TV setup to hide all visible cables.
How long does wire concealment take?
Surface raceway installation takes 20–45 minutes. In-wall routing typically takes 45–90 minutes depending on the number of cables and wall construction. We'll give you a time estimate with your quote.
Do you offer same-day wire concealment?
Yes — same-day and next-day appointments available in Charlotte, NC, including weekends. Wire concealment is often paired with TV mounting for a single-visit solution.
Also pairs with soundbar installation and LED bias lighting for a completely clean look.
