TV mounting prices look random online because the jobs are not the same. Here is what actually moves the number.
What drives the price
- Screen size. Bigger and heavier TVs need heavier mounts and sometimes two people.
- Wall type. Drywall over wood studs is quick; brick, stone, tile or concrete takes masonry work and more time.
- Wire concealment. Hiding the cables in the wall adds labor beyond a bare mount.
- Over a fireplace. Masonry drilling, a heat check and often a pull-down mount make it more than a flat-wall job.
- The mount. Flat costs least, full-motion and pull-down cost more. See mount types.
Simple to involved
| Job | Relative effort |
|---|---|
| TV on drywall, wires visible | Lowest |
| TV on drywall, wires hidden in the wall | Middle |
| TV on brick or stone | Middle to higher |
| Over a fireplace with a pull-down mount and hidden wires | Highest |
Why we quote from a photo
Every wall is different, so we quote the specific job rather than selling a package. Text a photo with the screen size and wall type and you get a firm number before we come out, and it does not change once you approve it.
