TV Mounting · Residential
Standard mounts are a flat $150 to $250. You'll know the number before I show up.
From $150
A TV on the wall should look like it grew there. No cords hanging down, no crooked tilt, no drywall anchors slowly letting go. I hit the studs, fish the wires inside the wall for a clean cable-free look, and set it dead level. Over the fireplace, floating in the middle of a wall, on a tilt or full-motion arm: I do it right the first time.
Residential only: homeowners, home builders, and basement finishers.

In Utah's newer homes the fireplace is often the only wall built for a big screen, so it's the request I get most. Two things have to be handled: heat and height. Most TVs are only rated to about 90 to 100 degrees, so I check the clearance above the mantel, and I set the height, or use a pull-down mount, so you're not craning your neck.
A drywall screw holds only about 5 to 10 pounds before pulling out. A 55 inch TV weighs 35 to 50 pounds and an 85 inch can pass 100. That's why I anchor into studs or solid backing every time.
A wall-mounted TV sounds thin on its own. While the wall is already open for the wiring, it's the cheapest moment to add a soundbar, or in-wall speakers and a subwoofer for real surround. A lot of my theaters started as a TV mount.

A standard TV mount on a drywall wall with studs costs about $150 to $250 as a flat price, depending on TV size. Hiding the wires inside the wall typically adds $150 to $300. Custom work like masonry or a new outlet is $100 an hour.
Yes. On almost every interior wall I run the cables inside the wall and add a recessed outlet behind the TV so there's nothing hanging down. On the rare wall where in-wall isn't possible, like a solid masonry fireplace, I'll talk through a clean alternative.
Absolutely. It's one of the most common jobs I do. I check the heat and the wall type, get it at the right height so you're not craning your neck, and hide the wiring.
Either way works. If you already have one, I'll check that it's rated for your TV and wall. If not, I'll bring the right one and it's listed on the quote.
