Do you serve Forest Lakes?
Yes. Mounted and More serves Forest Lakes, a large neighborhood with Bayfield addresses that sits at about 7,500 feet, roughly 15 miles from Durango city limits. Tim is based in Vallecito, so Forest Lakes is part of our regular service area.
Lots in Forest Lakes are mostly half an acre to an acre, and the homes are a real mix. Some date to the 1970s. Others are brand new, many built by custom builders. Those two kinds of homes need different things, so we treat them differently.
What do newer Forest Lakes homes need?
New builds need a plan for where the TVs, speakers and network will go, ideally before the drywall goes up. Once the walls are closed, every cable run gets harder.
Pre-wire before the walls close
If your Forest Lakes home is still under construction, this is the cheapest time to run low-voltage cable. That means HDMI to the TV wall, speaker wire for in-wall or surround speakers, and network cable to spots where you want mesh Wi-Fi units or a wired TV. Talk to your builder about timing. New outlets and any in-wall power belong to a licensed electrician, not us.
First-time setup when you move in
Moving into a new house means a pile of boxes and a lot of things to connect. We mount the TVs, connect the soundbar and streaming boxes, program the remotes, and walk you through how it all works. Our device setup service covers smart TV setup, universal remotes and game consoles.
What do older Forest Lakes homes need?
Older homes usually need cleaner wiring and better Wi-Fi, not a full rebuild. A home from the 1970s was not built with a wall-mounted TV or a whole-home network in mind.
Hiding wires in an existing wall
When the wall allows it, we run low-voltage cables inside the wall. When it does not, a paintable surface raceway keeps things neat. Power cords never run inside walls; a licensed electrician adds outlets when needed. See wire hiding for details.
Wi-Fi that reaches every room
On a larger lot with a spread-out house, one router often leaves dead spots in the far bedrooms or the garage. A mesh system, ideally with wired links between units, usually fixes that. Learn more on our smart home and networking page.
Can you set up home audio or a theater room in Forest Lakes?
Yes. Many Forest Lakes homes have a family room or basement that works well for a soundbar, a surround system or a dedicated theater room.
A soundbar is the simple option. Surround sound gives better speaker placement but needs a receiver and more wiring, which is much easier to plan in a new build. See home audio and home theater for the options.
How much does TV mounting cost in Forest Lakes?
Mount and Go starts at $150, Basic Mounting starts at $200, and Advanced Mounting starts at $325. These are starting prices, not final prices.
TV size, wall type, fireplace mounting and in-wall wiring can change the total. Pre-wiring, theater rooms and smart home projects get a free estimate. The full breakdown is on our pricing page, and you can request a quote on our contact page.
