What we believe

Anyone can hang a TV.The difference is everything around it.

  1. 01

    Know before we knock.

    Who is coming, when they arrive and what it costs, settled before anyone touches a wall.

  2. 02

    One price, up front.

    Flat prices on the website and in the app. The number we quote is the number you pay.

  3. 03

    Our crew, every time.

    One in-house crew. Never a subcontractor you have never met.

  4. 04

    Finished, not just mounted.

    Level, anchored, wires out of sight, wall patched and every input tested before we leave.

  5. 05

    We stand behind it.

    Every install is covered by a 90-day workmanship guarantee. If anything we installed shifts, sags or fails inside 90 days, we come back and fix it at no charge.

The only one in Dallas–Fort Worth

We built our own app.

No other installer in Dallas–Fort Worth has one. We built it because the experience around the install should be as finished as the wall.

Client experiences

What homeowners say.

5.0 stars from 38 Google reviews
“I cannot say enough good things about DeMarcus with Cognito Media Services! I had been dealing with an issue with my patio speaker system that my original installer could not figure out and basically told me there was nothing else he could do. DeMarcus came out on time, confident, professional, and ready to figure it out. He immediately made me feel like I had called the right person. His knowledge and skill level are top tier. He figured out the wiring issue and got everything working seamlessly when someone else had already given up on it. I was SO happy and excited to finally have my patio speakers working correctly! On top of knowing exactly what he was doing, his customer service was excellent. He was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and confident in his work. If you need speaker installation, audio/video installation, wiring, troubleshooting, or anything in that area, CALL DEMARCUS! Cognito Media Services will definitely be my first call from now on. 10/10 experience and highly recommended!”
