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
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.
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.
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.
How do I find a good TV mounting service in Thornton?
Search for handymen or dedicated TV installers in Thornton with recent reviews that mention your wall type (drywall, brick, or concrete). Ask three things up front: the flat price for your TV size and wall type, whether they carry liability insurance, and whether cable concealment is included or an add-on. A good installer asks about your wall and TV model before quoting.
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.
