Cost Factors That Affect Your Price
Not every installation is the same. Here's what moves the needle on pricing:
1. Wall Type & Material
This is the single biggest factor. Drywall with wood studs is the simplest and most affordable. Brick, stone, and concrete require specialized masonry anchors, carbide-tipped drill bits, and significantly more labor—hence the higher cost.
2. TV Size & Weight
A 43" TV weighing 20 lbs is a completely different job than an 85" TV weighing 120+ lbs. Larger TVs require heavier-duty mounts, more lag bolts, and often a two-person team for safe handling.
3. Mount Type
| Mount Type | Best For | Additional Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed / Low-Profile | Clean look, minimal space | Included |
| Tilting | Reducing glare, above-eye-level | +$0–$25 |
| Full-Motion / Articulating | Corner mounting, multi-angle viewing | +$25–$75 |
| MantelMount (Pull-Down) | Above fireplaces, ergonomic viewing | +$150–$300 |
4. Wire Concealment
Basic cable management (bundling and routing along the wall) is included. For a truly clean, wire-free look with in-wall wire concealment, add $75–$150 depending on wall type and distance to the nearest outlet.
5. Height & Accessibility
Standard-height installations (4–6 feet) are straightforward. High-mount installations above fireplaces, in vaulted ceilings, or on second-story walls may require extension ladders or scaffolding, which adds to labor time.
6. Number of TVs
Mounting multiple TVs? We offer multi-TV discounts. The second TV is typically 15–20% less than the first, and the savings increase with each additional TV.
DIY vs. Professional: The Real Cost Comparison
Many homeowners consider DIY to save money. Here's an honest side-by-side comparison:
| Cost Factor | DIY | Professional |
|---|---|---|
| TV Mount Bracket | $30–$120 | Included or BYO |
| Stud Finder | $25–$50 | Included |
| Drill & Bits | $60–$150 | Included |
| Level | $15–$30 | Included |
| Anchors & Hardware | $10–$30 | Included |
| Cable Management Kit | $15–$40 | Included |
| Drywall Patch Kit (mistakes) | $10–$25 | N/A |
| Your Time | 2–5 hours | 0 hours |
| Risk of TV Damage | You absorb it | Insured |
| Warranty | None | 5-Year |
| Estimated Total | $165–$445 | $149–$249 (drywall) |
The bottom line: For drywall installations, professional mounting often costs less than DIY when you factor in tools and time. For brick, stone, or fireplace installs, professional installation isn't just cheaper—it's essential.
Georgia-Specific Considerations
Georgia homes have unique characteristics that affect TV mounting costs:
Older Homes with Plaster Walls
Many homes in Atlanta's historic neighborhoods (Grant Park, Inman Park, Virginia-Highland) have plaster-and-lath walls instead of modern drywall. Plaster requires different drilling techniques and specialized anchoring to prevent cracking. This typically adds $50–$100 to the installation cost.
Brick & Stone Are Everywhere
Georgia homes—especially in Roswell, Milton, Alpharetta, and Johns Creek—frequently feature brick and stacked stone accent walls and fireplaces. These premium materials require masonry expertise and specialized tools, which is reflected in the pricing.
HOA Rules in Planned Communities
Many Metro Atlanta communities (Peachtree City, East Cobb, Suwanee) have HOA restrictions on exterior modifications. While interior TV mounting isn't typically affected, outdoor TV installations may require HOA approval. We can advise on compliance for your specific community.
Seasonal Scheduling
Georgia's busiest seasons for TV mounting are November–January (holiday gift installs and Super Bowl prep) and during major home renovation seasons (spring and fall). Booking 1–2 weeks ahead during these periods ensures you get your preferred time slot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do prices vary so much between installers?
Price differences usually come down to insurance, warranty coverage, experience, and what's included. Some low-price quotes exclude the mount bracket, cable management, or cleanup—then add them as surprise charges. Our prices are all-inclusive with no hidden fees.
Do I need to buy the mount separately?
We can provide a high-quality mount included in your installation price, or we're happy to install a mount you've already purchased. Either way, we'll make sure it's rated for your TV's size and weight before installation.
Is there a trip fee or service call charge?
No. We don't charge trip fees, service call fees, or consultation fees anywhere in our Georgia service area. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Do you offer financing or payment plans?
We accept all major credit cards, cash, Venmo, Zelle, and CashApp. For larger multi-TV installations, we can discuss flexible payment arrangements. Contact us to learn more.
What about warranty on the installation?
Every installation comes with our 5-year workmanship warranty. If anything comes loose or needs adjustment within that period, we'll fix it at no charge. We also carry full liability insurance for your peace of mind.
