How much does TV mounting cost on Long Island?
TV mounting with me starts at $125 for a TV up to 65 inches. Most of the difference in price comes from three things: the size of your TV, the type of mount, and what your wall is made of. This guide shows every price, what changes it, and how to get an exact quote before any work starts.
The short answer
- Flat or tilt mount, TV up to 65 inches: from $125
- Flat or tilt mount, TV 66 to 85 inches: from $155
- Full-motion mount: from $175
- Hiding the cords inside the wall: add $85
- Fireplace, brick or masonry wall: add $85
These are starting prices for standard installs. The bracket is not included, and estimates are free.

What decides the price of mounting a TV?
Every TV mounting job is a little different. These are the things that move the price:
- TV size and weight. A bigger, heavier TV takes more care and more hands to hang safely, which is why TVs over 65 inches start at $155.
- The type of mount. A flat mount holds the TV close to the wall. A tilt mount lets you angle it down a little. A full-motion mount swings out and turns, so it takes more work to install and starts at $175.
- The wall. Drywall with studs is the simplest. Brick, masonry and fireplace walls need different tools and anchors, so they add $85.
- Hiding the cords. Running the cords inside the wall gives a clean look and adds $85. Without it, the cords can be tidied and left on the wall surface.
- Where it goes. The height, the room and the position of the studs all affect the install, so a photo of the wall helps me price it correctly.
Flat, tilt or full-motion: which mount should you choose?
The mount you choose changes both how the TV looks and what the job costs. Here's how the three common types compare:
| Mount | Best for | Starting price | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat | A TV at eye level that you watch straight on | $125 to $155 | Sits closest to the wall, but it can't move |
| Tilt | A TV mounted higher, such as over a dresser | $125 to $155 | Angles down to reduce glare and neck strain |
| Full-motion | Corners, open rooms and watching from different seats | $175 | Needs a stronger install because the TV hangs away from the wall |

| 75 inch TV, flat mount, brick wall | $155 + $85 | $240 |

| 55 inch TV in a corner, full-motion mount | $175 | $175 |
Does the price include the bracket, and what should you buy?
No. The mounting bracket and hardware are not included. You can buy your own, or I can provide one at cost. If you buy one, check four things before you order:
- Size range. The bracket should list your TV's screen size.
- Weight rating. It should hold more than your TV weighs.
- The hole pattern. The mounting holes on the back of your TV need to match the bracket. Your TV manual lists the pattern.
- Your wall. A mount that suits drywall may not suit brick. Tell me the wall type and I can point you to the right one.
If you're not sure, send me the TV model number and I'll tell you what to buy.
Can you hide the wires when you mount a TV?
Yes. In-wall cord concealment is $85. It keeps the cords out of sight so the TV looks like it's floating on the wall. How the power cord is handled matters for safety. A standard power cord should not be run inside a wall, so ask any installer how they plan to handle it. If a new outlet or any new electrical wiring is needed, that's a job for a licensed electrician.
What about mounting over a fireplace or on a brick wall?
It can be done, and a fireplace, brick or masonry wall adds $85. Before we pick the spot, tell me how high the TV would sit and whether the fireplace is used. A TV hung very high can be hard on your neck, and heat can be hard on a TV, so it's worth talking through before I drill. A tilt or full-motion mount often makes a high spot more comfortable to watch.
How high should you mount your TV?
A common rule of thumb is to put the center of the screen near eye level when you're seated. In many living rooms, that's lower than people expect. If the TV has to go higher, such as over a fireplace, a tilt mount helps by angling the screen toward you.
Why wall mounting is safer than a TV on a stand
A secure mount is also a safety choice. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advises mounting flat-screen TVs to the wall or to furniture, and anchoring TVs that are not wall mounted, to prevent tip-overs. You can read their guidance at CPSC's Anchor It! page. Mounting into studs or the right anchors for your wall is what keeps the TV secure.
What a TV mounting visit looks like
- Plan the spot. We confirm the TV size, the wall and the height.
- Find solid support. I locate the studs, or choose the right anchors for brick or masonry.
- Mount the bracket. It goes on the wall and is checked to be level.
- Hang the TV. The TV goes on the bracket and is leveled.
- Handle the cords. They are tidied, or hidden in the wall if you chose that.
- Check it. Everything is tested before I leave.
