What companies mount TV's in Baton Rouge? I need someone that can run electrical and cable above the mantle.

I get the whole DIY attitude of the OT lounge . . . Just want to pay someone to do it cause I'm lazy.

Pretty sure Best Buy will come out to a woman's house and install a TV for her.

I have always paid Best Buy to come and mount mine. They do a good job. It is like $150.00 though.

Just get Best Buy to do it. There are smaller companies who would charge less though.

you are going to spend probably 500x as much having someone come out and do it.

seriously. a $20 mount and $10 worth of romex wiring from home depot and the ability to attach a couple of wires is all you need.

you cant be THAT lazy.

eta seriously dude. best buy is the same place that sells $200 HDMI cables.

They will run cords to outlets and hide cables and that sort of thing. They won't put in an outlet though where one doesn't exist.

shhhhhh.

dont want to recommend a sub $100 solution (including a mount with a built-in LEVEL!) with way better reviews than having best buy price things ala carte, not cut an outlet and charge $500 or more for a half arse job.

eta forget the mount for a second; both home depot and lowes offer $60ish in-wall units as well as monoprice.
