What affects the cost?
- TV size and weight, which determines the mounting bracket and hardware
- Wall material — drywall over studs is fastest; brick, stone, or plaster add time
- Whether cords are surface-run, in a raceway, or concealed inside the wall
- Mount type — fixed, tilting, or full-motion articulating arms
- Whether a soundbar or additional shelf is being mounted at the same time
What's included
Included

DIY vs. hiring a pro
Mounting a small TV on open drywall with a basic bracket is doable for many homeowners with a stud finder and level. Once you're dealing with a large TV, a brick or stone fireplace, or want cords hidden inside the wall, a pro avoids cracked tile, off-level installs, or a TV pulling loose from drywall anchors.
