How much does TV mounting cost?

TV mounting with Monty's typically costs $150 to $500, based on our cost estimator, depending on TV size, wall type and how the cables are hidden.

A TV under 50 inches on drywall, with no cable concealment, sits at the low end. Larger TVs, brick, concrete or plaster walls, and in-wall cable runs move it toward the high end. Fireplace installs often land higher too, because the wall above the firebox is usually masonry. Your exact price comes from a free estimate before the work starts.

Can you mount a TV over a fireplace?

Yes. Monty's mounts TVs over fireplaces on drywall, brick and stone.

Before installing, we check two things. The first is heat: the mantel and the wall above the firebox can get hot enough to shorten a TV's life, so check the TV maker's guidance. The second is height: over a fireplace the screen usually sits higher than ideal, so a pull-down or tilting mount often makes for a better viewing angle. On brick or stone we anchor into the masonry, not the mortar joints.

What wall types and mounts do you work with?

Monty's mounts TVs on drywall over wood studs, plaster, brick, stone and concrete, using anchors rated for the wall and the TV's weight.

Fixed mounts sit flattest against the wall. Tilting mounts help when the TV is above eye level. Full-motion arms let the screen swing toward different seats. We can help you pick the right mount before the visit.

Can you hide the cables without electrical work?

Yes, in most rooms. Monty's hides cables with a paintable surface raceway, or with a low-voltage in-wall cable kit that runs HDMI and a power extension behind the drywall using the TV's existing outlet.

Adding a new outlet behind the TV is electrical work, which Monty's doesn't do. If you want a recessed outlet, a licensed electrician can add it, and we'll mount the TV around it.
