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 height should a TV be mounted at?
For seated viewing, the centre of the screen should sit at seated eye level — roughly 100-110 cm (40-43 inches) from the floor for a sofa. For a 65-inch TV that means the bottom edge sits around 60-70 cm up. Mount higher only if you use a tilting mount, e.g. above a fireplace or in a bedroom viewed from the bed.
Can a TV be mounted on a brick or concrete wall?
Yes — brick and concrete are actually stronger than drywall for mounting. The installer uses a hammer drill and masonry anchors (sleeve or wedge anchors). It costs more than a stud wall because drilling is slower and cable concealment usually has to run in surface trunking rather than inside the wall.
How much does it cost to mount a TV?
Most TV mounting jobs are priced as a flat rate per TV, driven by three things: TV size, mount type (fixed, tilting, or full-motion), and wall material. Drywall or plasterboard with timber studs is the cheapest; brick, concrete, or above-fireplace installs cost more. Cable concealment is usually a separate add-on. Ask for the all-in price for your exact TV size and wall type before booking.
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.
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.
