How to hire a tv mounting pro in United States
- Confirm your wall type (drywall with studs, brick, or stone) and TV size before requesting quotes — both drive the flat rate
- Ask whether the installer carries general liability insurance (a $1M policy is the norm for handyman services)
- If you want a new outlet behind the TV, confirm they use a licensed electrician — new receptacles are code-regulated work in every state
- Check that any in-wall cabling uses CL2/CL3 in-wall rated cable, which the NEC requires for concealed low-voltage runs
- Get the all-in price in writing: mount hardware, concealment, and haul-away of packaging are common surprise add-ons
- Read recent reviews on Google, Thumbtack, or Angi that mention your TV size and wall type
TV mounting itself is unlicensed handyman work in the US, but adding a power outlet behind the TV is electrical work governed by the National Electrical Code and state licensing — in most states it must be done by a licensed electrician or under permit. Concealed low-voltage cables must be in-wall rated (CL2/CL3).

Frequently asked questions
Will the installer dismount my old TV or move an existing mount?
Most will, as a small add-on — typically a quarter to half the price of a fresh install. Dismount-and-remount in a new home (or after moving the sofa) is a standard job; mention it when booking so the installer brings patching filler for the old holes.
Can a TV be mounted on drywall or plasterboard without studs?
Small TVs (under about 40 inches) can go on hollow drywall with heavy-duty toggle anchors rated for the load, but most professionals prefer to hit at least one stud or install a plywood backing board. For TVs over 50 inches, mounting into studs or masonry is strongly recommended — anchor-only installs on hollow walls are the most common cause of fallen TVs.
What happens if the installer damages my wall or the TV falls?
A professional installer should carry public liability insurance that covers wall damage and a dropped or fallen TV. Ask for proof before booking, and ask whether they guarantee their fixings (many offer 12 months or lifetime on workmanship). Keep the receipt — home insurance claims for fallen TVs often hinge on showing it was professionally installed.
Is it safe to mount a TV above a fireplace?
Yes if done properly, but check two things: heat (run the fireplace for 30 minutes and confirm the wall above stays below about 40C / 100F, or fit a mantel to deflect heat) and viewing angle (a pull-down or tilting mount stops neck strain). Above-fireplace installs cost more because the wall is usually brick or stone and cable routing is harder.
Can a soundbar or games console be installed at the same time?
Yes, and it is cheaper to bundle than to book twice. Soundbar brackets attach either to the wall below the TV or to the TV mount itself. Consoles and set-top boxes go on a small floating shelf or behind-TV bracket. Expect a modest add-on charge per extra device, plus cable management for each.
Do I need a permit to mount a TV in the US?
No permit is needed for the mounting or for running low-voltage cables in the wall cavity. A permit and/or licensed electrician is typically required only if you add a new power receptacle behind the TV. Many installers bundle a code-compliant power relocation kit instead, which avoids the permit.
How much does cable concealment add to the price in the US?
In-wall concealment on drywall typically adds $100-$300 on top of the base mount price, and $150-$500 if a code-compliant power relocation kit or new outlet is included. On brick or stone, expect surface raceway (paintable trunking) instead, usually $50-$150.
