A note from the workshop · No. 02

A small workshop,
working at a steady pace.

HomeMount was started because we couldn't find an installer who treated the work the way we wanted it treated. Seven years later, we're a tiny team doing what we wished someone had done for us.

A small note

"Slowly is the only speed worth working at, in the end."

Chapter one

How we
started.

The first mount went up in our own apartment, after the third installer we'd hired hadn't shown up.

The level was borrowed. The bracket was wrong for the wall. We bought a different bracket, watched two videos, did it ourselves on a Saturday. It looked fine. A friend asked if we'd help with theirs. Then her sister. Then her sister's neighbor. By the third weekend it felt less like favours and more like an accidental small business.

We named it HomeMount because the word "home" was the part that mattered to us. The mount was the small detail; the way the room felt afterwards was the whole point. Every installer we'd hired had treated the wall as a job to finish quickly so they could get to the next one. We wanted to treat it the opposite way — as the only wall, with the only TV, in the only room.

Seven years later we're three installers and a small office. We've turned down two acquisition offers because growing would mean speeding up, and speeding up would mean caring a little less about each room. Staying small is the entire bet.

Chapter two · How we work

Four small rules
we keep to.

Lists of "values" on contractor websites are usually decorative. These four are the actual operating constraints — the ones we'd lose work to honor, which is how you know they're not for show.

Rule one i

Look at the room first.

Before any drilling, we spend ten minutes looking. Where the light falls. Where you actually sit. Where the cables can go that you won't see. The placement is the half of the job most installers skip — we don't.

Attention before action.
Rule two ii

Quote it, stand by it.

The price we send you is the price on the invoice. If the on-site reality differs from what we scoped, we stop and explain — we never bill for surprises. We've lost a few small jobs over this. We've kept the customers who matter.

No surprise lines.
Rule three iii

Anchor into structure.

Every mount goes into studs, joists, or rated masonry. Never drywall alone. If the studs are in the wrong place we use a spanning bar. The TV has to feel like a permanent fixture, not a temporary balance act.

Mechanical honesty.
Rule four iv

Leave it cleaner than we found it.

Drop cloths down before any drill goes on. Dust vacuumed before we leave. Packaging out with us. The room you handed us is the room you get back, with the screen now on the wall and nothing else changed.

Quiet exit.
Chapter three · The crew

Three installers.
One workshop.

You'll meet one of these three names at your door. Each has been doing this work for years; each runs the same checklist. The finish you get from any of them is identical.

Chapter four · By the numbers

Seven steady
years.

A small operation stays honest in numbers, not adjectives. These are refreshed every quarter.

Living rooms, family rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, the occasional small business.

First-time fix 99.5%

Of jobs completed in a single visit. The rare second visits are usually for added work.

Average response 3 hrs

From your first note to a fixed price during studio hours. Outside hours, by next morning.

Chapter five · What's next

We'll stay small,
on purpose.

No plans to expand, franchise, or sell to a holding company. If that ever changes, you'll hear it from us in writing first. The pace is the product. We can't speed it up without losing what made the work worth doing.
