TV mounting estimates are usually sent after a phone call, text, or photos of the wall and TV, and often before the first visit. Customers compare the flat price for the install, whether the mount is included, and what add-ons like cable concealment cost. Many accept on the spot, so the quote should be clear and easy to approve.
When to use estimates: Use estimates to provide project quotes and get client approval before starting work. Once approved, convert your estimate to an invoice with one click to collect payment.

Determines the mount rating required and whether two installers are needed, which affects price.
Different surfaces need different anchors and tools, and some may be unsuitable for mounting at all.
Prevents disputes when a customer-supplied mount is wrong for the TV or wall, or when your supplied mount is a different price than they expected.
Surface raceways, in-wall pass-through kits, and fully concealed wiring are very different jobs and prices.
State whether device setup, soundbar installation, outlet work, patching, and painting are included so there are no surprises.
Avoids rework if the customer expected a different position, and lets you spot stud or wiring problems before drilling.
Protects your time if the job cannot proceed and keeps pricing from being held indefinitely.

Typical US ranges. Rates vary by region, experience, and job size.
Price by TV size range, such as up to 55, 56 to 75, and 76 and up. It is easy for customers to understand and for you to quote quickly by text.
Show in-wall concealment, soundbar mounting, and device setup as optional lines. Customers can select what they want, and the upsell is visible without pressure.
Include a line stating that hidden obstacles such as metal studs, fire blocking, or insulation may raise the price. Tell the customer you will confirm any change before proceeding.
Give a fixed, tilt, and full-motion option with prices. Customers tend to choose the middle option, and you avoid the back-and-forth over hardware.
Most installers give free quotes based on photos or a phone call. If an on-site visit is required for a complex job such as a multi-room installation, a fee that is credited to the job if accepted is reasonable.
A flat quote should hold if the job matches the description. State what could change it, such as a different wall type, a larger TV, or extra devices, and require written or text approval of changes.
Thirty days is common for small jobs, but hardware prices and your schedule can change, so many installers use 14 days. Put the expiry date on the quote.
Not usually for a single TV. For larger projects, or when you must buy special mounts or materials, ask for a deposit of 25 to 50 percent to secure the date and cover your costs.
