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
Can I mount a TV in a rental apartment?
Usually only with the landlord's written permission, since mounting leaves 4-6 anchor holes. Many tenancy agreements class it as an alteration. Alternatives that need no drilling: a TV floor stand, or a heavy-duty easel-style mount. If you do get permission, keep the mount and ask the installer to patch holes when you move out — it is a quick filler-and-paint job.
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.
How do I compare TV mounting quotes in Brownsville?
Get the quote itemised: mounting labour, the mount itself (if supplied), cable concealment, and any electrical work. Quotes in Brownsville that look unusually cheap often exclude the mount or charge extra on arrival for masonry walls. A fair comparison is the all-in price for your exact TV size, wall type, and cable finish.
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.
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.
