Who shows up
With us it is the same insured local crew you talked to. With big-box it is usually a rotating subcontractor you meet for the first time at the door.

Local vs Big-Box
Who actually shows up matters
Big-box mounting is easy to book, but you often do not know who is coming, what they are insured for, or whether they will hide the wires. Here is the honest comparison — including where the big guys are a perfectly fine choice.
How fast
We route jobs to you and are open 7 days, so same or next day is common. Big-box gives you a window days out that can slip.
The actual work
We hide wires in the wall and put two people on big sets. Big-box work is often a surface cord and one tech boxed into a tight time slot.
If it is not right
Call the person who did it — our workmanship is guaranteed. With big-box you are back in a national support queue with a ticket.
How it works
Done around your business
You call and describe the job
Tell us the TV, the wall and the room. You get a real, whole-job quote on the phone — free, with no add-ons waiting at the door.
We schedule you fast
Often same or next day, routed to your part of town, at a time that suits you — not a vague window you build your day around.
Done right, and we stand behind it
Wires hidden, two of us on the big ones, cleaned up after — and one local number to call if you ever need us again.

Local crew vs big-box, honestly
No trash talk — just the real trade-offs, including where the big guys are genuinely fine.
| What matters | Big-box / national service | Kalieb Designs |
|---|---|---|
| Who shows up | A rotating subcontractor you meet at the door | The same local, insured crew you spoke to on the phone |
| Scheduling | A window days out, sometimes reassigned or rescheduled | Often same or next day — we route to you, open 7 days |
| Hiding the wires | Often a surface cord, or an upsell when they arrive | In-wall concealment quoted up front, done right |
| Big or tricky TVs | One tech, time-boxed to the next job | Two of us on anything over 55″, brick, stone and fireplaces included |
| If something’s off later | A national queue and a ticket number | Call the person who did the work — workmanship guaranteed |
| The quote | A low base price, then add-ons at the door | The number on the phone is the whole number |
Straight answers
Common questions
Are you more expensive than the big-box services?
Usually we are comparable — and the number we quote is the whole number, where big-box often starts low and adds wire-hiding and other extras at the door. We will always give you the honest all-in price first.
Will the big-box installer hide my wires?
Sometimes, often for an extra charge decided when they arrive. We quote in-wall concealment up front so there is no surprise and no bare cord down the wall.
Are you actually insured?
Yes, fully — every job, every trade. It is worth asking any installer this, because a subcontractor working through a national brand may not be covered the way you would expect.
When is a big-box service the right call?
Honestly? If you just want a simple mount booked through a store at checkout and the details do not matter much to you, it can be fine. If you care about hidden wires, a guarantee and reaching a real person afterward, that is where we are worth it.
