Montopolis is one of southeast Austin’s most established and tight-knit communities — a historic neighborhood east of I-183 along the Colorado River, with a mix of longtime residents, updated homes, and newer neighbors drawn by the neighborhood’s proximity to East Riverside, the Airport Boulevard corridor, and the growing southeast Austin scene. It’s a neighborhood in the middle of a quiet evolution, with homeowners investing in their spaces and making them feel like home. When a Montopolis resident reached out to Bat City TV about mounting their 60-inch TV, the goal was simple: get it on the wall and get the cords covered so the room felt clean and put together. One visit, done right.
The install was a 60-inch TV mounted on a drywall wall with all cables managed using a surface-mounted cord cover — a clean, paintable raceway that runs flush along the wall surface from the TV down to the outlet. We located the studs, confirmed solid anchor points for the bracket, and mounted the TV level and secure at the right viewing height for the room’s seating. The cord cover was measured and cut to length, mitered at any transitions, and pressed flush against the wall with all HDMI and power cables routed cleanly through the channel. From normal viewing distance in the Montopolis living room, the finished result looked deliberate — a 60-inch display on the wall with cords that were completely out of sight, done cleanly without opening up a single wall.
Cord covers are a practical, versatile solution for anyone who wants a cleaner TV setup without the complexity or cost of in-wall cable routing. The difference between a cord cover that looks professional and one that looks like an afterthought comes down to a few key details: using the right profile width for the cable count being routed, cutting lengths precisely so there are no gaps at the ends, mitering corner pieces cleanly, and painting the cover to match the wall color. We carry paintable PVC raceway rated for the voltages involved in TV installations and approach every cord cover job with the same attention to detail we bring to in-wall work. The Montopolis homeowner had a finished, polished result that covered every cord — and we were done in a single visit.
Cord covers are a great entry point, and many of our customers in southeast Austin add in-wall power or full cable routing on a follow-up visit once they see what a clean install looks like.
