TV Mounting Cost and Starting Prices
The TV mounting cost depends on TV size, mount type, wall surface, installation location, wire finish, and selected add-ons. This TV mounting price list gives a clear starting point so customers can understand the likely TV installation cost before booking.
Use the calculator to build a TV mounting estimate based on the actual setup.
How TV Mounting Pricing Works
The final price is built from several parts, not one random flat number. A small TV on drywall with a basic mount is a different job than a large TV over a stone fireplace with a full-motion bracket.
The estimate may include:
-
TV size
-
Mount option
-
Wall type
-
Installation location
-
Wire finish
-
Add-ons
-
Number of TVs
This keeps the price tied to the real work instead of vague “starting at” pricing that later grows fangs.
Standard TV Mounting Price List by TV Size
The base price starts with the TV size. Larger TVs usually require more handling, stronger support, and more care during placement.
Up to 50 inches - $149
51–65 inches - $179
66–77 inches - $249
78–90 inches - $349
Over 90 inches / commercial video wall - Quote required
These prices are starting points before mount type, wall type, location, wire finish, and add-ons are selected.
Mount Option Pricing
The mount type affects both the look and the labor. A fixed mount is usually the simplest. A full-motion mount takes more setup because the bracket must support movement, weight, and proper alignment.
Customer-provided mount +$0
Fixed mount +$39
Tilt mount +$49
Dual-arm full-motion mount +$115
MantelMount / pull-down fireplace mount +$389
If the customer already has a mount, it can usually be used if it is compatible with the TV and suitable for the wall.
Wall Type Pricing
Wall surface is one of the biggest factors in the cost to mount TV equipment safely. Drywall with wood studs is usually the most direct installation. Masonry, tile, stone, plaster, and metal studs require more time and different hardware.
Drywall / wood studs +$0
Lath and plaster +$25
Metal studs +$85
Brick, concrete, or cinderblock +$95
Natural stone, marble, or porcelain tile +$175
The wall decides how easy the job is. The TV may be expensive, but the wall still gets the final vote.
Installation Location Pricing
Where the TV is installed also affects the final estimate. A regular wall is usually the simplest option. Fireplaces, high walls, outdoor covered patios, and ceiling mounts require more planning and labor.
Regular wall +$0
Over fireplace +$95
High wall over 10 ft +$85
Outdoor covered patio +$125
Ceiling mount +$249
The installer confirms the placement and wall condition before drilling.
Wire Finish Pricing
Wire finish affects how clean the final installation looks. Some customers are fine with visible wires. Others prefer a cleaner finish using a cord cover or another wire-management option.
Visible wires +$0
Cord cover +$45
Cord covers are often a practical option for rentals, apartments, condos, masonry walls, and situations where opening the wall is not preferred.
Add-On Services
Add-ons can be selected when the setup needs more than basic TV mounting. These options help complete the installation and improve the finished look.
Common add-ons may include:
-
Soundbar mounting
-
Media shelf or console mounting
-
Streaming device concealment
-
Apple TV or Roku placement
-
LED backlighting setup
-
Speaker or small-device organization
-
Basic device connection
Add-ons are included in the estimate when selected in the calculator or confirmed before the job.
Multi-TV Installation Pricing
When more than one TV is installed during the same appointment, the total may qualify for a multi-TV discount. For 2–3 TVs, a 12% discount may apply to the eligible installation total.
This works well for customers who want to mount TVs in a living room, bedroom, basement, office, or guest room during the same visit.
Standard Wall Installation Example
A basic standard wall installation is usually the most affordable setup. This often includes a smaller or mid-size TV, drywall with wood studs, a fixed or tilt mount, and visible wires or a simple cord cover.
Example setup:
-
51–65 inch TV
-
Drywall / wood studs
-
Regular wall
-
Tilt mount
-
Visible wires
Estimated starting total:
51–65 inch TV mounting - $179
Tilt mount +$49
Drywall / wood studs +$0
Regular wall +$0
Visible wires +$0
Estimated Total: $228
Large TV Mounting Example
Large TV mounting costs more because the screen is heavier, harder to handle, and needs stronger support. Placement, wall type, and mount choice matter more with larger TVs.
Example setup:
-
66–77 inch TV
-
Drywall / wood studs
-
Regular wall
-
Dual-arm full-motion mount
-
Cord cover
Estimated starting total:
66–77 inch TV mounting - $249
Dual-arm full-motion mount +$115
Drywall / wood studs +$0
Regular wall +$0
Cord cover +$45
Estimated Total: $409
Above-Fireplace TV Mounting Example
Above-fireplace TV mounting usually costs more than regular wall mounting because placement, height, heat exposure, wall material, and viewing angle need extra attention.
Example setup:
-
65 inch TV
-
Brick fireplace
-
Over fireplace
-
Tilt mount
-
Cord cover
Estimated starting total:
51–65 inch TV mounting - $179
Tilt mount +$49
Brick / concrete / cinderblock wall +$95
Over fireplace +$95
Cord cover +$45
Estimated Total: $463
Full-Motion Mount Installation Example
A full-motion mount allows the TV to pull out, swivel, and adjust. Because the bracket moves, the installation needs secure support and careful leveling.
Example setup:
-
51–65 inch TV
-
Drywall / wood studs
-
Regular wall
-
Dual-arm full-motion mount
-
Visible wires
Estimated starting total:
51–65 inch TV mounting - $179
Dual-arm full-motion mount +$115
Drywall / wood studs +$0
Regular wall +$0
Visible wires +$0
Estimated Total: $294
High Wall Installation Example
A high wall installation may require more setup time, additional ladder work, and careful placement. This is common in rooms with tall ceilings, open living areas, loft spaces, or large family rooms.
Example setup:
-
66–77 inch TV
-
Drywall / wood studs
-
High wall over 10 ft
-
Fixed mount
-
Cord cover
Estimated starting total:
66–77 inch TV mounting - $249
Fixed mount +$39
Drywall / wood studs +$0
High wall over 10 ft +$85
Cord cover +$45
Estimated Total: $418
When a Quote Is Required
Some installations cannot be priced accurately with a simple starting-price table. These jobs need review before the final estimate is confirmed.
A quote may be required for:
-
TVs over 90 inches
-
Commercial video walls
-
Unusual wall structures
-
Ceiling-mounted TVs
-
Complex stone or tile surfaces
-
Built-in cabinet areas
-
Very high mounting locations
-
Outdoor installations with unusual conditions
-
Jobs requiring special hardware or planning
For these setups, photos help confirm the wall, access, TV size, and installation conditions.
What Can Change the Final Estimate
The calculator gives a structured estimate, but the final price depends on the actual job conditions. If the wall type is different than expected, if the mount is not compatible, or if the TV location changes, the estimate may need adjustment.
Common reasons the price may change include:
-
Wrong wall type selected
-
TV size entered incorrectly
-
Mount not compatible with TV
-
Missing mount hardware
-
Fireplace surface different than expected
-
Outlet too far from TV location
-
Customer adds soundbar or cord cover
-
Wall requires special anchors or extra support
Clear photos reduce these problems before booking.
Build Your TV Mounting Estimate
The easiest way to confirm the TV mounting cost is to use the price calculator. Select the TV size, mount type, wall surface, installation location, wire finish, and add-ons to build a clear TV mounting estimate before choosing a time.
This gives a better answer than asking “how much does TV installation cost?” with no details. That question is fair, but the wall, TV, mount, and wire finish all want to be part of the conversation.
