TV mounting businesses are usually solo installers or small crews who hang televisions on drywall, brick, stone, and tile, and run cables and power for a clean finish. Invoices typically cover the mounting labor, the wall mount hardware, and add-ons like in-wall wire concealment, soundbar installation, and device setup.

Most TV mounting work is priced as a flat fee per TV, because the job is predictable and customers like to know the total up front. The base price usually depends on TV size and mount type, with add-ons priced separately: in-wall cable concealment, outlet installation, masonry or brick surfaces, fireplace installs, soundbar mounting, and hiding components in a cabinet. Wall mounts are either supplied by the customer or sold by the installer with a markup, often 20 to 50 percent over cost. Some installers set a minimum service call fee to cover travel and small jobs, and charge hourly for custom work like multi-TV setups, commercial installs, or home theater wiring. Large TVs (75 inches and up) often carry a surcharge because they need two people.
| Service | Priced | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Standard TV mounting, up to 55 inches (customer supplies mount) | per TV | $75-150 |
| Large TV mounting, 56 to 75 inches (two-person install) | per TV | $125-225 |
| Extra-large TV mounting, 76 inches and up | per TV | $175-300 |
| In-wall cable concealment with power and cable pass-through kit | per TV | $100-200 |
| Mounting over brick, stone, or concrete | surcharge per TV | $50-125 |
| Soundbar or small speaker mounting | per device | $40-90 |
| Wall mount hardware (tilt, full-motion, or fixed) | per mount | $30-200 |
| Custom or multi-device work (home theater wiring, outdoor TVs) | per hour | $65-125 |

Notes: Payment due upon completion of installation. Accepted: card, cash, check, or Zelle. Installation is warrantied for 1 year against mount failure when installed per manufacturer specifications. TV and equipment are the customer's responsibility; please test all connections before the installer leaves.
Pricing depends on screen size and mount style, and listing them shows exactly what was installed if the mount is ever questioned.
Masonry and tile take more time and specialized bits, so the surcharge needs an explanation on the bill.
Shows materials versus labor, supports your markup, and helps with warranty claims on the mount itself.
Cable concealment, outlets, soundbars, and device setup are each priced separately and customers often forget they approved them.
Gives a record of where the mount was installed and starts the warranty period.
Some states and cities require a license for electrical work such as installing an in-wall outlet, and clients or property managers often ask for proof of insurance.
Clarifies that you are responsible for the installation but not for the TV, and sets expectations if the customer later changes the TV.
Most TV mounting jobs are paid on the day of installation, once the customer has seen the TV mounted and working, since the job is quick and the invoice is small. Card, cash, and peer-to-peer apps are the most common methods, and many installers send the invoice by text or email right as they finish. For larger jobs such as multi-room installs, home theaters, or commercial work, a deposit of 25 to 50 percent is common, along with payment of the balance on completion. Property managers, builders, and businesses may pay on net 15 or net 30 terms, in which case a late fee of 1 to 1.5 percent per month is typical if stated in writing beforehand. Charge a cancellation or trip fee if the installer shows up and the job cannot proceed.
Customers want one number. Publish base prices by TV size range and list add-ons separately so the total is easy to calculate before you arrive.
Ask for the wall material, whether it is a fireplace, and where outlets are. A photo of the wall saves a trip and prevents surprises like metal studs, brick, or plaster that change the price.
If you supply the mount, add a reasonable markup. You are paying for the trip to buy or stock it, the quality control, and the liability if it fails.
Moving or adding an outlet may require a licensed electrician where you work. Know your local rules, and list in-wall power kits as a code-compliant option, or refer that work out.
If the customer ordered the wrong mount, the TV is not on site, or the wall is not as described, a trip fee or reschedule fee should be on the invoice and stated in advance.
Most installers charge per TV with add-ons, because it is easier for customers to compare and the job time is predictable. Use hourly rates for custom work, troubleshooting, or jobs where the scope is unclear.
A markup of 20 to 50 percent over your cost is common. Itemize the mount separately from labor so the customer can see both the hardware and the service.
It depends on the state. Some states tax labor, some tax only the materials you sell, and some tax neither. Check with your state revenue department or a local accountant, and show tax as its own line on the invoice.
Yes, if you have told them in advance. Put a minimum service or trip fee in your quote or booking confirmation, and then invoice it if the job cannot go ahead.
Many installers give a modest reduction for the second and later TVs at the same address since there is only one trip and setup. Show the discount as a line item so it is clear and does not reduce the rate for future work.
Send a TV Mounting estimate for approval, then turn it into an invoice when the work is done.
