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
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.
What size TV actually needs professional mounting?
Under 43 inches is a reasonable DIY job if you can find studs and use a level. From 55 inches up, a second pair of hands is essential and mistakes get expensive — a 65-inch panel weighs 20-25 kg and modern bezel-less screens crack easily if gripped wrong. Professionals also carry stud finders, cable detectors, and masonry drills most households lack.
How do I compare TV mounting quotes in Fort Worth?
Get the quote itemised: mounting labour, the mount itself (if supplied), cable concealment, and any electrical work. Quotes in Fort Worth 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.
How long does TV mounting take?
A standard install on a stud or masonry wall takes 30-90 minutes. Add 1-2 hours if cables are being concealed inside the wall, and more again for above-fireplace installs or walls that need reinforcement. Book a 2-hour window to be safe.
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.
