How much to charge for TV mounting
TV mounting is priced per TV, with a minimum that covers the trip, plus clear add-ons. Cord concealment and tricky walls are where the time goes, so price them as their own line rather than folding them in.
You should charge
$170
per TV · typical $100–$400
Why this number. Price add-ons like concealment and stone walls as separate, named line items. The base mount stays an easy yes that gets you in the door, and the upsells, which are where the real labor is, get paid for properly.

Frequently asked questions
How much should I charge for TV mounting?+
Most TV mounting is priced $100–$400 per TV, with a typical rate around $175 per TV. Where you land inside that range comes down mainly to tV size and weight and wall type (drywall, brick, stone). Use the range as your anchor, then adjust up for experience, strong demand, and a higher cost-of-living area.
Should I charge per job or by the hour for TV mounting?+
Most TV mounting is priced per job, and that is the stronger model. It pays you for the result rather than the clock, and clients far prefer one fixed number they can plan around. Estimate the hours a job takes, multiply by the hourly rate you want, then add a 15-25% buffer for the jobs that run long.
How much should I charge for TV mounting as a beginner?+
Starting out, price near the lower end of the range, roughly $100 to $175 per TV. Resist going below that to win work: a price that is too low attracts price-shoppers, signals low quality, and is hard to raise later. Once you have a few happy clients and reviews, move toward $400.
What affects how much TV mounting costs?+
The biggest factors are tV size and weight; wall type (drywall, brick, stone); cord and cable concealment; whether the mount is supplied. Two jobs that look alike can price very differently once these are accounted for, which is why a quick walkthrough or a few questions before quoting protects your rate.
How do I quote TV mounting so the client says yes?+
Price add-ons like concealment and stone walls as separate, named line items. The base mount stays an easy yes that gets you in the door, and the upsells, which are where the real labor is, get paid for properly. Put the quote in writing with exactly what is included, state the price once without apologizing for it, and give one clear next step. A confident, well-structured quote wins jobs at a higher price than a vague one at a lower price.
