You want one thing from this page: a number. Here's the honest truth about TV mounting cost — there is no single number, and any website that gives you one without asking about your wall is guessing. What I can give you is better: the exact factors we use to price every install in Jesup and across Southeast Georgia, so you know what tier your job lands in before you ever pick up the phone.
I mount TVs for a living. Most jobs are priced in one short phone call, and the quote doesn't change when we show up. Here's how that pricing actually works.
What Determines TV Mounting Cost?
Four things move the price more than anything else: the size of the TV, the wall it's going on, how you want the wires handled, and the type of mount. Everything else is small stuff. This table shows how each factor pushes your job toward the entry-level, mid or premium tier:
| Cost Factor | How It Affects Your Price |
|---|---|
| TV size | Under 55″ sits in the entry-level tier. 55–75″ is mid tier — heavier bracket, more careful leveling. Above 75″ is premium: two-person handling and heavy-duty hardware. |
| Wall type | Drywall over wood studs is the entry-level baseline. Plaster and metal studs push toward mid tier. Brick, stone and fireplace surrounds are premium — masonry anchors and slower, cleaner drilling. |
| Wire concealment | Leaving cords visible adds nothing. An on-wall raceway is a small add. Full in-wall concealment with a code-compliant power solution is the biggest single upgrade — and the one people love most. |
| Mount type | A fixed (flat) mount is the entry-level option. Tilting mounts add a little. Full-motion arms cost the most in hardware and take longer to install and tension properly. |
Stack your own factors: a 65″ TV on drywall with in-wall wire hiding on a tilting mount is a solid mid-tier job. The same TV on a brick fireplace with full-motion hardware is premium. No mystery to it.
TV Size Tiers: Why Bigger Costs More
It's not just weight — although an 85″ panel is genuinely a two-person lift, and we won't pretend otherwise. Bigger TVs also magnify every small error. A bracket that's a quarter-bubble off level is invisible on a 43″ bedroom TV and glaring on a 77″ living-room centerpiece. So larger installs get heavier-duty mounts, more anchor points, and more time spent measuring before the first hole gets drilled.
One tip that saves money: if you haven't bought the TV yet, call us first. We do TV sales and installation in one visit, and sizing the TV to your room correctly the first time is cheaper than remounting a return.
Wall Types: Drywall Is the Baseline, Masonry Is the Climb
Around Southeast Georgia we see three walls over and over:
- Drywall over wood studs — most homes in Jesup and Hinesville. Fastest install, entry-level pricing, as long as the studs land where we need them.
- Brick and stone — fireplace surrounds and older homes. These need masonry bits, sleeve anchors and patience. Rushing masonry is how you crack a mortar joint, so we don't.
- Manufactured and modular walls — common in the area, and they sometimes hide thin or irregular framing. We verify what's behind the surface before trusting it with a heavy TV.
Humidity matters here too. Coastal Georgia moisture works on cheap anchors over time, which is one reason we use rated hardware on every job instead of whatever came in the mount box.

Call (236) 349-7751Wire Concealment Options (and What Each Adds)
This is where quotes vary most between companies, so ask exactly what's included. Your three options, cheapest to cleanest:
- Visible cords — free, and it looks like it. Fine for a garage or workshop TV.
- On-wall raceway — a paintable channel that covers the cords. Modest add-on, big visual improvement, no wall openings.
- In-wall concealment — cables routed inside the wall with a code-compliant in-wall power kit. The premium option and the true "floating TV" look.
One honest warning: a standard TV power cord is not allowed inside a wall cavity under electrical code. Some cut-rate installers do it anyway. We use in-wall-rated power solutions instead — the full story is in our guide on how to hide TV wires the right way.
DIY vs Pro: The Real Risk Math
Can you mount a TV yourself? Plenty of people do, and if it's a small TV on clear drywall with studs where you want them, go for it. Where DIY jobs go wrong — and we get the repair calls weekly — is usually one of these:
- Anchoring into drywall alone because the studs didn't line up with the bracket.
- Mounting into a fireplace surround that turns out to be hollow framing behind thin stone veneer.
- Buying a mount rated below the TV's weight because the box art looked sturdy.
- Running a power cord inside the wall, which fails code and can void insurance cover if there's ever a fire.
When a TV comes off a wall, you rarely lose just the TV. You lose the drywall, sometimes whatever was under it, and your weekend. Weigh the pro price against replacing a 65″ panel and patching a wall, and the math usually leans our way — which is exactly why we quote flat and upfront, so the comparison is easy to make.
How to Get an Exact Price in 5 Minutes
Here's all we need to quote your job over the phone:
- TV size — or the model number if you have the box.
- Wall type — drywall, brick, stone, or "above the fireplace."
- Wire preference — visible, raceway, or fully hidden in-wall.
- Mount situation — you have one, or you'd like us to supply the right one.
Call or text (236) 349-7751 with those four answers and you'll have a flat price and a same-week appointment slot before the call ends. Estimates are free, and the price we quote is the price you pay. You can see the full scope of what's included on our TV mounting service page.
One more thing worth reading before you book anyone: if your TV is headed above a fireplace, check our honest take on whether you should mount a TV over a fireplace first. Sometimes the answer is yes with the right mount — and sometimes we'll talk you out of it.
