If you just bought a new TV and want it mounted on the wall, you’re probably wondering — how much does TV mounting cost in NYC? In this guide, we’ll break down the exact prices (and if you would rather skip the DIY, you can book our professional TV mounting service in NYC), what factors affect the cost, and what to expect when you hire a professional in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, or the Bronx.
Average TV Mounting Cost in NYC
In New York City, professional TV mounting typically costs between $100 and $300 depending on the size of the TV, wall type, and whether you need cable concealment. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- TV mounting (up to 50″) — $80
- TV mounting (50″ to 55″) — $120
- TV mounting (55″ and above) — $150
- TV mounting with cable concealment — from $180
- TV mounting on brick or concrete wall — from $150
- TV mounting above fireplace — from $200
- TV mounting with soundbar installation — from $150
At NYC Furniture Assembly, TV mounting starts from $80. We provide a clear estimate before starting — no hidden fees.
What Factors Affect TV Mounting Cost in NYC?
1. Wall Type
This is the biggest factor. NYC apartments have many different wall types — drywall, plaster, brick, and concrete. Brick and concrete walls require special drill bits and anchors, which takes more time and increases the cost slightly.
2. TV Size and Weight
Larger TVs (65″ and above) are heavier and require more secure mounting hardware. They also need two people to lift safely, which can affect the price.
3. Mount Type
There are three main types of TV mounts:
- Fixed mount — TV sits flat against the wall. Most affordable option.
- Tilting mount — TV can tilt up or down. Good for mounting high on the wall.
- Full motion mount — TV can swivel left, right, up, and down. Most flexible but most expensive.
4. Cable Concealment
Running cables inside the wall or through a cable raceway gives a clean, professional look. This adds to the cost but is highly recommended especially in NYC apartments where wall space is limited.
5. Location in NYC
Travel time can affect pricing in some cases. We serve all five boroughs — Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island — at the same competitive rates.
TV Mounting on Different Wall Types in NYC
Drywall
Most common in newer NYC buildings and renovated apartments. TV must be mounted into wall studs for safety. A stud finder is used to locate the studs before drilling.
Plaster Walls
Very common in older NYC buildings, especially pre-war apartments in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Plaster walls are harder to drill and require more care to avoid cracking.
Brick Walls
Common in loft-style apartments and older buildings in Brooklyn. Requires a hammer drill and special concrete anchors. The result looks amazing — a TV mounted on an exposed brick wall is very popular in NYC.
Concrete Walls
Found in some NYC high-rises and commercial spaces. Similar to brick — requires specialized equipment and anchors.
Can I Mount a TV Myself in NYC?
Technically yes, but there are several reasons why hiring a professional is worth it in NYC:
- Wall damage — Drilling into the wrong spot in a plaster or drywall can cause serious damage that’s expensive to repair.
- Safety — A TV that’s not properly anchored can fall off the wall. A 65″ TV weighs 80-100 lbs — this is a serious safety hazard.
- Time — What takes a DIYer 3-4 hours takes a professional 1 hour.
- NYC lease rules — Many NYC landlords have rules about wall modifications. A professional knows how to minimize damage.
How Long Does TV Mounting Take in NYC?
A standard TV mounting job in NYC takes approximately 1-2 hours. This includes finding studs, drilling, securing the mount, hanging the TV, and tidying up cables. Jobs with cable concealment inside the wall take 2-3 hours.
