Updated October 2026 · Flat Published Prices · Licensed & Insured
Flat, posted TV mounting prices for all six Hudson Valley counties — from $219.99 in Westchester and Rockland. Stone, plaster, paneling and vaulted ceilings are priced up front, so you know the number before a licensed, insured tech heads your way.
The Hudson Valley is not one kind of house. Westchester’s county housing study counted roughly 30 percent of its homes as built before 1940, which means horsehair plaster on wood lath, crooked walls and studs that are rarely where a stud finder says. Farther north, Kingston’s Stockade District still has Dutch stone houses on all four corners of Crown and John Streets. A price that assumes clean drywall falls apart in about half the living rooms we walk into.
Rockland grew up after World War II in capes, split-levels and raised ranches, and the lohud history of that boom explains why so many family rooms sit half a flight down with a stairwell wall above them. Orange County is one of the faster-growing counties in the state, so newer developments in places like Monroe and Montgomery bring standard drywall but also open floor plans, tall great-room walls and stone-veneer fireplaces built specifically to hold a television.
Up in Putnam, Dutchess and Ulster the problems change again: lake houses on Mahopac and Oscawana, cabins finished in knotty pine, farmhouses with fieldstone hearths, vaulted ceilings, and wood stoves that throw serious heat. Reddit threads from Westchester homeowners keep asking the same two things — do you have the mount, and is it cement or drywall — because those two answers change the price more than the TV itself does.
Distance matters too. A tech driving to Saugerties or Rhinebeck cannot run back to the shop for a longer lag bolt or a masonry bit. That is why our pricing names every wall type and add-on in advance, why second-home owners can have a caretaker let us in, and why every job is booked in a 2-hour arrival window and paid online — no guessing on the day.
A 32″–55″ TV on a fixed or tilting bracket, into wood studs, leveled and connected to power plus up to two existing devices. $219.99 in Westchester and Rockland, $229.99 in Orange and Putnam, $254.99 in Dutchess and Ulster.
Fieldstone, brick and stone-veneer fireplaces are everywhere north of the Tappan Zee. The cost to mount a TV above a fireplace starts with a $130 add; a pull down fireplace TV mount (MantelMount style) adds $160 and brings the screen to eye level.
Hide TV wires in wall cavities with a code-compliant in-wall power and cable kit for $169 — that is our full cost to hide TV wires on framed walls — or use a $59 paintable cord cover on stone, plaster or exterior walls.
Soundbar mounting service under the TV for $129 (or $79 placed on a console), a Sanus soundbar bracket at $84.99, Sonos setup at $125, an A/V receiver at $129 and full home theater installation at $350.
Lake-house decks and covered patios get an outdoor-rated bracket: outdoor mounting adds $90, with Samsung Terrace ($149.99), Sanus outdoor tilt ($239.99) or SunBriteTV full-motion ($589.99) brackets available. Stone, siding and post installs are priced by wall type like any indoor job.
Farmhouse great rooms and new-build two-story walls often need the TV above about 8 feet: high mounting adds $75, ceiling TV mount installation adds $85. An 85 inch TV mounting service adds $100; 86″–97″ sets get two person TV installation for $175.
Moving a set or swapping an old one? Take down the old TV for $85, remove the old bracket for $45, haul away and recycle it for $79. A TV mount relocation to another room is just a take-down plus a new install.
Streaming device setup is $49, game console $49, universal remote $99 and an LED bias light $75. Setup-only visits for WiFi, a TV cable box installation or apps bill the first hour at your area’s hourly rate.
Abstract Enterprises Security Systems is a TV mounting company and NYS licensed low-voltage contractor (#12000287431), so when you hire TV mounting service help from us you get a licensed TV mounting contractor and an insured TV mounting company in one call. Our television mounting and television installation crews cover all six counties from Yonkers to Saugerties. Whether it is a flat screen TV mounting in a Pearl River split-level or a wall mounted TV installation in a Rhinebeck farmhouse, every TV installation service uses the same posted list. Should I hire a professional to mount my TV? If the wall is plaster, stone or anything other than clean drywall, professional TV mounting is the safer bet — and for residential TV mounting, the price is posted before you book.
A fair TV mounting service comparison looks at three things: what wall the price assumes, whether a bracket is included, and whether the arrival time is a real window. Read TV mounting company reviews on Google and local Facebook groups, then compare scopes line by line. We won’t call ourselves the best TV mounting service; we would rather show you the list and let the numbers speak. Our TV hanging service is the same whether you call it a TV wall installation or simply hanging the set: anchors into real framing, level, connected, cables tidied. An affordable TV mounting service is one where the Westchester or Ulster number you see online is the number you pay.
How much does TV mounting cost in the Hudson Valley? Our TV mounting service prices start at $219.99 in Westchester and Rockland, $229.99 in Orange and Putnam and $254.99 in Dutchess and Ulster. That base is the full TV wall mounting price for a 32″–55″ set on drywall over wood studs, so the cost to mount a 55 inch TV in Rockland is $219.99 labor only. The cost to mount a 75 inch TV in Orange County is $229.99 plus $60, or $289.99. If you are wondering how much would someone charge to hang my TV on fieldstone, add $65 for stone and $130 for above a fireplace. Total TV installation cost is simply base plus the adds you choose. Need a TV installation estimate for multi-TV or commercial work? Request a free quote.
Our 32 inch TV mounting service for a kitchen or guest room in New Paltz and our 40 inch TV wall installation for a bedroom in Carmel both sit at the county base price. A 43 inch TV mounting job, a 50 inch TV mounting service in a Newburgh apartment and a 55 inch TV installation in a Mahopac family room are base price too, as long as the wall is drywall over wood studs. From 56″ the size add is $30, which covers a 60 inch TV wall mounting over a Goshen mantel or a 65 inch TV mounting service in a Scarsdale den. Wall type and mount type still apply on top, so pick both in the calculator.
A 70 inch TV installation or 75 inch TV wall mounting adds $60, whether it lands in a Westchester great room or an Ulster cabin. The 77 inch OLED TV mounting jobs we see in new Orange County builds also fall in that bracket. From 76″ to 85″ the add is $100 — that covers an 80 inch TV installation and 83 inch OLED TV mounting, where thin panels must be lifted by the frame, never the screen. Can one person mount a 75 inch TV? One trained installer handles it routinely; for a DIY attempt, always use a second person and a mount rated well above the TV’s weight. Below 86″, our price assumes one technician.
Who installs really big TVs in the Hudson Valley? We do, and the price says so. Large TV mounting from 86″ to 97″ adds $175 and sends two technicians, so an 86 inch TV wall installation in a Poughkeepsie media room is planned as a two-person job from the start. A 98 inch TV mounting service or a 100 inch TV installation adds $220, again with two techs. Oversized TV installation and heavy TV mounting both depend on the wall more than the screen, so extra large TV wall mounting often pairs with a plywood backer ($85) for TV wall reinforcement across several wall studs. Stairs in split-levels and farmhouse doorways are checked before the TV comes off the truck.
Can you mount a TV on drywall? Yes — TV mounting on drywall over wood studs is our base price, and TV mounting on wood studs is the strongest everyday install. Can you mount a TV on brick? Yes: TV mounting on brick wall surfaces and any TV mounting on masonry wall adds $65, using a hammer drill and sleeve anchors in solid brick. Who installs TVs on brick walls in Beacon storefronts and Kingston row buildings? That is routine work for us. TV mounting on cinder block and TV mounting on reinforced concrete add $75, common in raised-ranch basements and commercial units. TV mounting on fireplace surround stone adds $65 for the wall plus $130 for the fireplace position.
TV mounting on marble wall surfaces adds $95, the same as tile, and you accept the cracking risk before we start. TV mounting on shiplap wall boards, popular in renovated Hudson Valley farmhouses, works like paneling: we find the studs behind the boards or add an $85 backer. TV mounting on uneven wall areas — bowed plaster or hand-laid stone — uses shims or a backer so the screen hangs level. TV mounting on apartment walls in Yonkers and White Plains often means metal studs (+$30) or plaster (+$45). TV mounting on partition walls and TV mounting on commercial walls in office parks are usually steel stud, so we use rated toggles or a backer.
What is the difference between a fixed and full motion mount? Low profile TV mounting and flush TV wall mounting keep the screen tight to the wall at no add; a full-motion arm lets it pull out and turn for $40. That is the core of tilting vs full motion TV mount choices too: tilt only angles down, while articulating TV mount installation and swivel TV mount installation let you aim at a kitchen island or a lake view. Commercial ceiling TV mounting adds $85. Motorized TV mount installation, electric TV lift installation, recessed TV installation, anti theft TV mount installation, portrait TV mounting and vertical TV installation have no posted price — each gets a written quote.
Master bedroom TV installation in a Bronxville Tudor, kitchen TV mounting under a farmhouse beam, home theater TV installation in a finished Dutchess basement — each is priced the same way: county base, size, wall, mount. What is the best height for a bedroom TV? Usually a little higher than the living room, with a tilt mount aimed down at the bed. How high should a TV be mounted in a family room? Aim for the screen’s center near seated eye level, roughly 42 inches from the floor. Condo TV installation in Tarrytown or New Rochelle may need a certificate of insurance, which we provide free, and townhouse TV mounting in Middletown or Fishkill often lands on shared walls.
Sports bar TV installation along Route 6 or Main Street Beacon is priced per screen from the posted list. Hotel TV installation for a Catskills inn and hotel room TV installation for a Hudson Valley B&B work the same way, with a free COI. Conference room TV mounting in White Plains office towers, retail store TV installation on Route 59, and school TV installation all need clean cable routing and out-of-path placement for the ADA 4-inch rule. Who can mount multiple TVs in my office? We can — dual TV mounting and multi TV wall installation are quoted in writing so spacing and bracket choice are confirmed. Commercial audiovisual installation beyond the TV list also gets a written quote.
Our Samsung TV mounting service covers everything from basic sets to Samsung Neo QLED TV mounting, and Frame or other art TVs add $70. An LG TV mounting service is the same base and size pricing; LG Gallery TV mounting uses a flush art-style bracket at that same $70 add. Sony Bravia TV installation, TCL TV mounting service, Hisense TV wall mounting and Vizio TV installation are priced purely by size, wall and mount. Roku TV mounting service, Insignia TV mounting, Panasonic TV installation, Philips TV wall mounting, Sharp TV mounting and Toshiba TV installation all work the same. How do I know if my TV is VESA compatible? Check the four screw holes on the back and the VESA spec in the manual.
Do TV installers provide mounting brackets? We sell them at list price, so our TV mounting service with bracket simply adds the bracket line: Sanus VLL5-B2 fixed at $159.99, VLT7-B2 tilt at $199.99, or VMF822-B2 full-motion at $279.99. What size TV mount do I need? Match the bracket’s VESA range and weight rating to your TV, and make sure its arms span your wall studs. A TV bracket you already own is fine if it is rated for the set. TV wall bracket replacement for an older mount costs $45 to remove the old bracket plus your normal install. Hudson Valley farmhouse framing is often irregular, so we confirm the bracket reaches real framing.
Can you hide TV wires inside a wall? On framed walls, yes: TV wire concealment, also called TV mounting with cable concealment, uses our $169 code-compliant in-wall kit. It gives you a recessed TV outlet behind the screen fed from a plug near the floor, which is what most people mean by TV mounting with outlet installation or TV power outlet installation — new circuits remain an electrician’s job. That kit also handles in wall TV cable management, HDMI cable installation and in wall HDMI cable routing. Our TV wire hiding service fixes TV wires hanging down wall on stone with a $59 cover. Soundbar installation under TV is $129, and soundbar and TV installation together is one booking. Surround sound installation and TV and audio installation start with the $350 home theater line.
A TV mount pulling away from wall in an old plaster room is a TV mounting repair we handle by taking the TV down ($85), removing the failed bracket ($45) and reinstalling into framing or a backer. Can a mounted TV damage the wall? A mount in drywall anchors alone can tear out, and plaster can crack; patching is not included. Can someone move my mounted TV to another room? Our TV mount relocation service is a take-down plus a new install. TV WiFi connection and TV installation with network connection are part of a setup-only visit billed at your area’s hourly rate. TV antenna installation for rural Ulster and Dutchess homes is quoted in writing.
Searching TV mounting near me, TV installation near me or professional TV installers near me from Nyack to Kingston? Book online and schedule TV mounting in a 2-hour window, 8 AM–8 PM, seven days. Where can I find a TV installer today? Same-day or next day TV installation happens when a window is open. Can someone mount my TV this weekend? Saturdays and Sundays are bookable. We do not run an emergency TV mounting service; every TV mounting appointment is planned. As a local TV mounting company and TV mounting company near me for Westchester to Ulster, we also offer holiday TV installation service around Thanksgiving and the holidays. TV mounting for apartment renters needs written landlord approval first. Is there a company that mounts TVs and soundbars together? Yes — add the soundbar at checkout.
Pre-war homes in Scarsdale, Bronxville, Larchmont and the Rivertowns often have plaster over wood lath or plaster over block. Expect the $45 plaster add, careful pilot drilling, and a candid talk about cracking risk before we commit to a spot.
Older Yonkers buildings mix plaster and masonry; new towers in White Plains and New Rochelle use metal studs. Apartment TV mounting on metal studs adds $30 with rated toggles or a backer. Many buildings require a certificate of insurance, which we provide free.
Family rooms down a half flight, stairwell walls above them and finished basements. Typical New City and Pearl River living room TV mounting and basement TV mounting are drywall over wood studs at the base price, with high-mount ($75) or corner TV mounting ($40) adds when needed.
Old farmhouses around Warwick, Goshen, Millbrook and Pine Plains combine plaster, wide-plank paneling and fieldstone hearths. We price the actual wall — plaster +$45, brick or stone +$65 — and add a plywood backer when the studs are hand-hewn or irregular.
Homes around Lake Mahopac, Lake Carmel and Lake Oscawana want a TV inside facing the water and another on the deck. Outdoor mounting adds $90, and covered-porch installs need an outdoor-rated bracket and a weather-appropriate TV. We plan cable runs to the cabinet before drilling.
Knotty pine, tongue-and-groove and log walls around Woodstock, Phoenicia and Rhinebeck hide the framing. We locate the studs behind the boards or span them with a backer board ($85). Caretakers can let us in when you are not up for the weekend.
We find framing with a magnet and test pilot holes, then lag into studs through the plaster with pre-drilled clearance so the keys don’t pop. If studs won’t line up, a plywood backer ($85) spreads the load across several. Pre-war plaster can crack; we tell you the risk before drilling.
On any masonry wall we use a hammer drill and sleeve or wedge anchors set into solid stone or brick, not crumbling mortar. Thin stone veneer on a fireplace surround is a facing, not structure, so we go through it into the framing with long lag bolts. Above a fireplace adds $130.
Paneling is nailed to studs, so we read the nail lines and confirm with a test hole. When the TV center doesn’t fall on studs — TV mounting without studs in the right spot — we fasten a finished plywood backer across several studs ($85) and mount to that.
Basement walls in split-levels and some commercial units are poured concrete or block. We drill with a rotary hammer and use rated concrete screws or sleeve anchors into solid block cores, never the hollow center alone. Concrete adds $75; it is common in raised-ranch lower levels.
Newer apartment towers, office suites and some renovated basements use light-gauge steel. We use snap toggles rated for the load through the stud face or add a backer across studs so a full-motion arm doesn’t twist the track. Metal studs add $30.
Bathroom, kitchen and some fireplace surrounds are tiled. We score the glaze and use diamond or carbide bits at low speed to limit chips. Tile and marble can still crack, which you accept before we start. We price backsplash, bathroom and fireplace tile the same way.
The region runs on taprooms, restaurants, medical offices, gyms and small business suites. Travel Hudson Valley counts more than 100 wineries, breweries and distilleries, and most tasting rooms want screens for games, menus or event loops — busiest of all when people want TV mounting before Super Bowl Sunday. We price commercial TV installation off the same posted list, provide a certificate of insurance at no charge, and work around opening hours inside a 2-hour arrival window.
Condo boards, HOAs and commercial landlords across Westchester and Rockland routinely require a certificate of insurance naming them before a contractor works. Send us their requirements when you book and our broker issues the COI to match — free. We are NYS licensed low-voltage contractor #12000287431.
Under the 2010 ADA Standards (Section 307), wall-mounted objects with leading edges between 27 and 80 inches above the floor in a circulation path may protrude no more than 4 inches. In lobbies, hallways and waiting rooms we mount TVs above 80 inches or out of the path of travel.
The National Electrical Code (NEC 400.12) does not permit flexible cords to be concealed in walls. Our $169 concealment uses a code-compliant in-wall power kit. We do not add or move outlets — if you need a new outlet, that is a licensed electrician’s job.
If you rent, or the home is a condo or a short-term rental, get written permission to drill before booking. Holes are not patched or painted as part of our service, so the owner should know what the wall will look like if the TV ever comes down.
With us, Westchester TV mounting starts at $219.99 for a 32″–55″ TV on a fixed or tilt mount into drywall over wood studs, labor only. A 65″ adds $30, a 75″ adds $60, and an 85″ adds $100. Plaster in an older colonial adds $45; a full-motion arm adds $40. Everything is selected and paid online, so the price you see is the price on the day.
Drive time. A tech heading to Red Hook, Stone Ridge or Phoenicia spends far longer on the road than one heading to Nanuet, and that time is built into the base: $254.99 for TV installation in Dutchess County and Ulster versus $219.99 for TV mounting in Rockland County and Westchester. The add-ons — wall type, size, fireplace, concealment — are the same everywhere.
Usually, yes. We drill into solid stone with a hammer drill and set sleeve or wedge anchors, avoiding loose mortar. Brick or stone adds $65, and above a fireplace adds $130. If the stone is a thin veneer, we go through it into the framing. If the fireplace is a working wood-burner, we talk about heat first, and a pull-down mount often makes more sense.
It depends on how much heat reaches the wall. Many TV makers list a maximum operating temperature, and heat rising off a cast-iron stove can exceed it. If the mantel shelf deflects heat and the wall stays comfortable to the touch while the fire is going, a mount is usually fine. If not, we suggest another wall rather than taking your money for a bad spot.
You want studs or a backer. Pine paneling looks solid but is usually only three-quarters of an inch thick, and screws into boards alone can pull out under a heavy TV. We find the framing behind the boards, or mount a plywood backer board across several studs for $85 so the TV can sit exactly where you want it.
We can, as long as someone can give access. Plenty of Putnam and Ulster homes are weekend places; a neighbor, caretaker or property manager can let us in during the 2-hour arrival window. Since TV jobs are paid in full online when you book, nobody has to hand over a card at the door. Just leave the TV and any bracket out and accessible.
Outdoor TV mounting adds $90 to your area’s base price — for example $229.99 plus $90 for patio TV mounting in Putnam with a 55″ set. You also need a weather-rated bracket: Samsung Terrace is $149.99, Sanus outdoor tilt is $239.99, and SunBriteTV full-motion is $589.99. Use an outdoor-rated TV; humidity swings and winter cold here are hard on indoor sets.
Yes, that is a common Rockland request. Stairwell walls are usually drywall over wood studs, so the base price applies, plus $75 for a high mount above about 8 feet. We bring the ladder setup for stairs. If the TV is larger than 85″ it needs two techs, which the size add already covers.
On drywall over wood studs, an 85″ TV in Westchester is $219.99 plus $100 for the 76″–85″ size range, or $319.99, labor only. Add $85 if we are taking down an old TV first, and the bracket if you are not supplying one. Over 85″, the size add is $175 for two technicians.
Yes. Plaster adds $45. We locate the studs through the lath, pre-drill so the plaster doesn’t spall, and lag into framing. Old plaster can crack no matter how careful anyone is, and we say so before we start. We do not patch or paint, so pick the spot you are happy to keep.
Yes. Taprooms, restaurants and bars from Beacon to Kingston use our commercial TV installation for games, menus and event screens. Each TV is priced off the posted list — wall type, size, ceiling or corner mount — and we provide a certificate of insurance free. We can schedule a 2-hour window before you open.
Not inside the stone itself. On masonry we route the cables down the side or behind the mantel with a paintable cord cover for $59, or run them to a cabinet up to 25 feet away for $99. When the TV sits on a framed wall next to the hearth, the $169 in-wall power and cable kit is the cleaner option. That is how you get a TV mounted above fireplace with hidden wires without opening the stone.
Absolutely. If the walls are log, irregular stone or you simply don’t want holes, we set the TV on its stand or into a cabinet, connect it and tidy the cables. TV on stand is $168.99 in Dutchess and Ulster, $152.99 in Orange and Putnam, and $144.99 in Westchester and Rockland.
We do. Haul-away and recycling is $79 per TV, and we take down a wall-mounted set for $85 and remove the old bracket for $45. Local Facebook and Reddit threads often suggest giving a working flat screen away at the curb — that works too, but we can take a dead or heavy one with us the same day.
Sits the TV close to the wall — the cleanest look in Westchester living rooms and Orange County new builds where seating is straight ahead. Sanus VLL5-B2 is $159.99 if you don’t have one. No mount add.
Angles the screen down when it sits higher than ideal, such as over a mantel or a split-level stairwell. Sanus VLT7-B2 is $199.99. Included in the base price. Good for bedrooms with a TV over a dresser, too.
Swings the TV toward the kitchen in an open-plan farmhouse or toward the lake from the couch. Adds $40. Sanus VMF822-B2 ($279.99), VLF828-B2 ($429.99) and VXF830 ($499.99) cover small to very large TVs. Needs solid framing or a backer.
MantelMount brings a TV mounted high over a fieldstone or brick fireplace down to eye level. Adds $160. MantelMount MM340 is $199.95; MM700 is $399.95 for bigger, heavier sets. Check heat during a real fire first.
For vaulted ceilings, bars and rooms with no usable wall, like glass-heavy lake houses. Adds $85, and the Sanus ceiling mount is $449.99. We anchor into ceiling joists, never drywall alone. Cable routing to the ceiling is planned before drilling.
Weather-rated hardware for lake-house decks, patios and covered porches from Mahopac to the Shawangunks. Adds $90 to your county base. Samsung Terrace bracket $149.99, Sanus outdoor tilt $239.99, SunBriteTV outdoor full-motion $589.99. Pair it with an outdoor-rated TV.
Frame TVs need their own flush mount to hang like a picture — popular in Hudson Valley homes with art walls. Adds $70. The same care applies to LG OLED TV installation, where thin panels must be handled by the edges and lifted by two people.
The fix for paneling, hand-framed farmhouse walls or a TV spot between studs. A finished backer spans several studs and carries the mount. $85. It also levels out an uneven wall in old Dutchess and Orange farmhouses so the TV hangs true.
Pick your TV size, mount and wall in the calculator, then book a 2-hour window and pay online.
Ask a chatbot what TV mounting costs and you will get a national average — usually something like $150 to $350 — pulled from cost guides written for suburban drywall. That number is not wrong so much as unhelpful between the Bronx line and the Catskills. Here are seven claims we see repeated, and what actually happens on jobs in Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess and Ulster.
That average TV mounting price blends apartments in Texas with ranch houses in Ohio. In the Hudson Valley, the gap between a Rockland split-level and a cabin near the Delaware County line is mostly drive time, and drive time is a real cost to whoever actually shows up at your door.
That is why we post three base prices instead of one: $219.99 in Westchester and Rockland, $229.99 in Orange and Putnam, and $254.99 in Dutchess and Ulster. The add-ons for size, wall and mount type are identical in every county, so the comparison stays simple.
If a search result says $150, ask what is included, what wall it assumes, and whether that person will drive to Phoenicia for it. A posted number with a listed scope beats an awkward conversation in your driveway — and it is the honest answer to handyman vs professional TV installer pricing.
An electronic stud finder reads density changes behind half-inch drywall. Behind an inch of plaster on wood lath, as in many pre-war Westchester and Dutchess houses, it lights up everywhere or nowhere, and homeowners end up with a wall full of test holes and no answer.
On plaster we use magnets to find lath nails, measure off door and window framing, and drill small test holes where the TV will cover them. Hand-built farmhouse framing may not sit on 16-inch centers at all, so we confirm every stud before trusting it with the bracket.
When the studs don’t land where the screen needs to be, a plywood backer board ($85) spreads the load across whatever framing is there. The $45 plaster add is posted up front because this careful work takes extra time, not because we found a surprise.
Online advice splits on brick versus mortar, and some of it is fine for modern brick with hard mortar. Old Hudson Valley fieldstone is different: the joints in a century-old hearth may be soft lime mortar that crumbles to powder the moment a masonry bit touches it.
We look for solid stone with a hammer drill and set sleeve or wedge anchors into it, keeping drywall anchors far away from masonry. Where the stone is only a thin veneer over framing, the anchor has to pass through the veneer and into the structure behind it.
The cost to install TV mount on brick or stone is a $65 wall add, plus $130 for above-fireplace placement. If an inspection shows the stone can’t carry the TV safely, we tell you plainly and suggest another wall instead of forcing a bad install.
A sealed gas insert with a deep mantel is very different from a working wood-burner that heats the whole house in January. Many Ulster and Dutchess homes rely on wood heat, and that heat rises straight up the chimney wall to exactly where the TV wants to hang.
Check your TV manual for its maximum operating temperature, then feel the wall during a real fire, not a cold afternoon. If it is too hot to keep your hand on comfortably, the spot is wrong no matter how good it looks in the listing photos.
Viewing height is the other problem. A pull-down mount (+$160) lets the TV live high while the fire is going and come down to eye level for movie night — the usual fix for neck strain over tall hearths, and better than a TV nobody can watch comfortably.
You can hide the wires, but not by pushing the TV’s plug-in cord through the drywall. The National Electrical Code does not allow flexible cords to be concealed in walls, and inspectors, home buyers and insurers do notice when it has been done that way.
Our $169 concealment uses a code-compliant in-wall power and cable kit: a recessed inlet behind the TV fed from a plug-in point near the floor. That handles cable management cleanly with no new circuit and no electrician needed for that particular setup.
We don’t add or move outlets. If you want a true new receptacle behind the TV, bring in a licensed electrician first and we will mount to it afterward. On stone or brick walls, a $59 paintable cord cover is the honest, removable alternative to opening the wall.
Some people get a few seasons out of one, and Reddit has plenty of those stories. Others lose a set to humidity or condensation in the first year. Hudson Valley porches see muggy summers, foggy lake mornings and freezing, damp winters that are hard on indoor electronics.
For a lake-house deck in Putnam or a patio in Orange County, plan on an outdoor-rated TV, or at least a fully covered, shaded spot, plus an outdoor bracket with weather-rated hardware. Outdoor mounting adds $90 to the base price for your county.
Bracket choices on our list are the Samsung Terrace at $149.99, Sanus outdoor tilt at $239.99 and SunBriteTV full-motion at $589.99. Siding, stone and porch posts are priced by wall type like any other job, so the outdoor quote is just as predictable.
That works until you have taken the morning off in Kingston and nobody comes. Missed appointments are among the most common complaints in TV mounting threads, and they hurt more when the installer is driving an hour each way and the day simply slips.
Every job we book has a 2-hour arrival window, never an open-ended day. Same day TV mounting is possible when a window is open; if not, you choose the next one that fits. Rescheduling is free with 24 hours’ notice, which matters for weekend homes.
Because TV jobs are paid in full online at booking, the scope is settled before we leave. If something you didn’t select turns up on site, you get the price before any extra work starts — one of the real alternatives to big box TV installation.

Two recent Hudson Valley TV jobs show the range. In Pound Ridge, a homeowner booked us to take down his 65″ TV and put up his new 85″ LG on drywall using his own LG mount — booked for an early-morning arrival window once paid in October 2026. In Mt. Tremper, a second home in Ulster County, the caretaker met us in September 2026: we took down two old TVs and set two new TVs into cabinets rather than on the wall, hooked them to the cable box and sorted the cables. That job was paid in full up front, so the owners never had to make the drive.
We also serve Yonkers, White Plains, New Rochelle, Ossining, Pound Ridge, New City, Pearl River, Suffern, Newburgh, Middletown, Goshen, Carmel, Mahopac, Brewster, Beacon, Rhinebeck, Wappingers Falls, New Paltz, Saugerties, Woodstock and Mt. Tremper — every TV installation Yonkers, TV installation New City and TV mounting Westchester County job uses the same posted list.
These tables show our Hudson Valley TV mounting prices exactly as the online calculator uses them. Start with your county’s base for a 32″–55″ TV on drywall over wood studs, then add size, mount and wall type; extras are flat amounts and brackets are sold at list price. County details: Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess and Ulster.
All prices: flat or tilt mount on drywall over wood studs unless noted, labor only, bracket extra.
Size prices below are for Westchester & Rockland; other areas add the same difference on every line, and the calculator does it for you.
Most Hudson Valley jobs land in one of three bundles. They are common combinations of the line items below, not a separate list, so you can start from a package and add or remove pieces. Need something unusual? Ask for a TV mounting quote. Package prices are for Westchester & Rockland; brackets are extra.
Bring your own: Already own a bracket? Bring your own rated mount and pay labor only — we check the weight and VESA rating before hanging. Prefer no holes at all, common in log cabins and rentals? TV on stand is $144.99 in Westchester and Rockland, $152.99 in Orange and Putnam, and $168.99 in Dutchess and Ulster, including hookup and cable tidying.
Yes. Base prices cover labor: finding studs, mounting and leveling, connecting power plus two existing devices, tidying cables behind the TV and cleanup. The bracket is extra unless you supply a rated one, and you can add it at list price when booking. There are no surprise charges.
A standard drywall install usually takes about an hour once we are set up. Plaster, stone, fireplace, concealment or multiple add-ons take longer. Your 2-hour window is when we arrive, not how long the job lasts. A TV over a stone fireplace with concealment can take a few hours.
Yes, a landlord or condo board can prohibit drilling, so get written approval first if you rent or the home is a short-term rental. Patching and painting are not included in our service, so choose a spot you plan to keep.
Only if you want a brand-new receptacle — we don’t do electrical work or move outlets. Our in-wall kit ($169) gives you clean, code-compliant power behind the TV without a new outlet. For a new receptacle, hire a licensed electrician before your appointment.
If we can’t begin because the TV or bracket isn’t there, nobody gives us access, or building approvals are missing, a $150 return-trip fee applies. Rescheduling with 24 hours’ notice is free; less than 24 hours keeps $150. So please have the TV, bracket and building approvals ready.
Brackets and parts carry the manufacturer’s warranty. Labor is not warrantied, which is why we check the wall, the bracket’s VESA pattern and weight rating, and the anchors before we hang anything. Bring your own mount only if it is rated for the TV.
Each TV is priced separately off the same list, so living room TV mounting and bedroom TV mounting are just two line items in the calculator. Very large sets over 85″ include a second technician in the size add. Mixed sizes and wall types simply add their own lines.
Yes. We price each screen from the posted list, provide a free certificate of insurance and mount out of circulation paths to respect the ADA 4-inch protrusion limit. We can schedule before opening so patients and members aren’t disturbed. Each screen gets its own line.
We connect up to two existing devices with every mount. Streaming device setup is $49, game console $49, universal remote $99. A setup-only visit bills the first hour at $235 in Westchester and Rockland, $250 in Orange and Putnam, or $275 in Dutchess and Ulster.
A third-floor-or-higher walk-up without an elevator adds $40, common in Yonkers and Newburgh multifamily buildings. Mounting above roughly 8 feet adds $75, typical in vaulted farmhouse rooms — we still check the recommended TV mounting height for your seating. Both are posted in the calculator.
TV jobs are paid in full online when you book. That locks in your price and your 2-hour arrival window, and there is nothing to settle at the door. You can also book TV mounting service by phone at (800) 486-0943, 8 AM–8 PM, seven days a week.
