Posted Long Island TV mounting prices: $209.99 in Nassau and $229.99 in Suffolk for a 32″–55″ TV on drywall. Fireplaces, block basement walls, plaster and pool-deck TVs are priced as clear add-ons. Book and pay online.
Long Island's houses are older than most people think. A Newsday analysis of nearly 12,000 home sales in 2026 found more than 5,000 of the houses were built in the 1950s and 1960s. That means a lot of high ranches, capes and split-levels where the wall behind your TV might be original plaster, newer drywall over furring strips, or a brick fireplace chimney breast. A flat price that only covers drywall doesn't tell you much when you live in a 1962 high ranch in Franklin Square or a 1950 cape in Levittown.
On r/longisland, the standard advice when someone asks about TV mounting is to buy a $40 mount online, grab a stud finder and do it yourself. That works fine on a bedroom wall with wood studs every 16 inches. It works badly on the lower level of a high ranch, where the drywall often hides a concrete block foundation, or over a fireplace where the brick face may be a thin veneer. Those are the jobs that end up as a second call, often for a TV mount pulling away from the wall.
Nassau and Suffolk are also overwhelmingly owner-occupied: Census QuickFacts puts the owner-occupied rate at about 82% in both counties. Owners renovate. They finish basements, add family rooms, hang 77″ and 85″ screens over gas fireplaces, and put TVs on covered patios by the pool. Each of those changes the wall, the mount and the price, which is why we publish every add-on instead of quoting a vague range. If you've been comparing the average TV mounting price online, this is the local version.
Distance matters too. A job in Elmont and a job in Southampton are both "Long Island," but they're very different drives. That's why Suffolk starts $20 higher than Nassau, and why we book in 2-hour arrival windows instead of promising a time we can't keep on the LIE or Sunrise Highway. We're a licensed TV mounting contractor and an insured TV mounting company, not a marketplace, so the tech who shows up works for us. For the full service details, see our TV mounting and installation service on Long Island.
Flat screen TV mounting for a 32″–55″ TV on drywall over wood studs: $209.99 in Nassau, $229.99 in Suffolk. That's the cost to mount a 55 inch TV, or any 55 inch TV installation, here, labor only. We find the wall studs, level the TV, connect power and up to two devices, and handle basic cable management behind the screen.
The cost to mount a TV above a fireplace is the base plus $130, and another $65 if the chimney breast is brick or stone. Many Long Island family rooms have a 1950s–60s brick fireplace, so we check whether the face is solid brick or veneer before a single hole is drilled.
TV wire concealment uses a code-compliant in-wall power and cable kit for $169, so there are no TV wires hanging down the wall. That's our TV wire hiding service and the cost to hide TV wires on a wall we can fish. On block, brick or exterior walls, a paintable cord cover is $59.
Our soundbar mounting service starts with a soundbar placed on a stand for $79, or soundbar installation under TV on the wall for $129, with the Sanus soundbar bracket at $84.99. Sonos setup is $125 and a full home theater installation hookup is $350.
Outdoor TV mounting and patio TV mounting add $90 for pool decks, covered patios and pergolas, and outdoor deck TV installation works the same way. We set outdoor-rated mounts into framing behind vinyl siding or into masonry, and we'll tell you up front if the outlet needs an electrician first.
Large TV installation is priced by size: 76″–85″ screens add $100, 86″–97″ add $175 with two techs, and 98″ and up add $220 with two techs. 77 inch OLED TV mounting and 83 inch OLED TV mounting both fall in the 76″–85″ tier; extra large TV wall mounting from 86″ up is a two person TV installation.
Moving houses or rooms? TV mount relocation is priced in pieces: taking down an old TV is $85, removing an old bracket is $45, and haul-away of an old TV is $79. TV wall bracket replacement and remounting on the new wall follow the normal posted price for that wall.
Streaming device setup is $49, game console hookup is $49, an A/V receiver is $129 and a universal remote is $99. Setup-only visits for WiFi, apps and the cable box run $225 for the first hour in Nassau and $250 in Suffolk, then 30-minute blocks.
Every Long Island job starts with screen size. A 32 inch TV mounting service call for a kitchen or guest room and a 40 inch TV wall installation in a cape bedroom both sit at the base: $209.99 in Nassau, $229.99 in Suffolk. A 50 inch TV mounting service visit costs the same, because nothing up to 55″ carries a size add. Moving up, 60 inch TV wall mounting and 65 inch TV mounting service jobs add $30. A 70 inch TV installation or 75 inch TV wall mounting adds $60. An 80 inch TV installation and an 85 inch TV mounting service job both land in the 76″–85″ tier at +$100, still handled by one tech.
Above 85″, the job changes. An 86 inch TV wall installation adds $175 and comes with two techs, and that covers everything up to 97″. A 98 inch TV mounting service job, or a 100 inch TV installation in a high ranch basement or an East End media room, adds $220, again with two techs. Oversized TV installation also needs a bracket rated for the weight; the Sanus VXF830 ($499.99) and VLF828-B2 ($429.99) are common picks for these sets. Heavy TV mounting on Long Island walls usually means lagging into two studs, or adding an $85 plywood backer board when the studs sit in the wrong place. Send the model number so we can confirm the bracket before your window.
Can you mount a TV on drywall? Yes, when the bracket lags into the wood studs behind it; drywall by itself shouldn't carry a TV. Can you mount a TV without studs? On block, brick and concrete, yes, with masonry anchors, and on metal studs with heavy toggles or a backer board. Can you mount a TV above a fireplace? Usually, once we've checked the brick, the heat at the mantel and the viewing angle. So if you're asking, can I get my TV mounted above my fireplace in a Commack split-level, the likely answer is yes, at the base plus $130, plus $65 for brick or stone. Our television mounting and television installation work is built around checking the wall first.
Farmhouse-style renovations across Suffolk often add a board feature wall behind the TV. TV mounting on shiplap wall planks still means reaching the framing behind the boards, because the planks themselves aren't a structural anchor; we confirm what's behind them on site and price any wall add before drilling. TV mounting on apartment walls in Long Beach, Great Neck or Mineola buildings can mean metal studs (+$30) or poured concrete. TV mounting on reinforced concrete in mid-rise condos and commercial spaces uses concrete anchors sized for the load, priced at the +$75 concrete add. We ask building management about anything embedded in a slab wall, and we never core or cut concrete.
Some requests fall outside our posted list, and those get a written quote instead of a guess. That includes motorized TV mount installation, electric TV lift installation inside a cabinet or at the foot of a bed, and recessed TV installation into a wall niche. Portrait TV mounting and vertical TV installation for menu boards or lobby signage are quoted in writing too, along with anti theft TV mount installation for gyms, waiting rooms and East End rentals. Dual and multi-TV walls follow the same route. Send photos of the wall, the TV models and what you want the setup to do, and you'll get a fixed written quote before anything is booked.
A townhouse TV mounting job anywhere in Nassau or Suffolk usually means shared walls and an HOA, so we confirm the community's rules and send a free certificate of insurance before your arrival window. Hotel TV installation is a different pace: hotel room TV installation runs room after room, often with locking hardware, so it's handled as a written quote that lists every room. School TV installation for classrooms, cafeterias and gyms follows the same written-quote route, with work scheduled inside our 8 AM–8 PM hours so it doesn't collide with the school day. Single TVs at any of these sites can still be booked online at the posted county price.
For offices, bars and medical suites, commercial audiovisual installation means more than hanging a screen. If you're asking who can mount multiple TVs in my office along Route 110 or in a Garden City professional building, we can, on a written quote that lists each display and each wall. TV installation with network connection is common in conference rooms: we connect the TV to your existing network jack or WiFi, and any new network cable runs are added to the written quote. A single TV at a business follows the same posted prices as a home, starting at $209.99 in Nassau and $229.99 in Suffolk, and we issue the COI your landlord asks for at no charge.
Brand doesn't change the price; size, wall and mount do. Our Samsung TV mounting service covers standard Samsung models, Samsung Neo QLED TV mounting follows the regular size tiers, and the Frame adds $70 for its art-style mount. An LG TV mounting service call works the same way, and LG Gallery TV mounting needs a flush, gallery-style bracket so the set sits tight to the wall. We also handle TCL TV mounting service calls, Hisense TV wall mounting, Vizio TV installation, Roku TV mounting service visits for Roku-built sets, Insignia TV mounting, Panasonic TV installation, Philips TV wall mounting, Sharp TV mounting and Toshiba TV installation. What matters is the VESA pattern and weight, which we match to a rated TV bracket.
If you're wondering who can hide the wires behind my television, our in-wall kit is the answer for most interior walls. In wall TV cable management uses a code-compliant kit ($169) that puts a recessed outlet behind the TV, fed from your existing outlet below, so there are no TV wires hanging down wall surfaces. That's how we handle TV mounting with outlet installation requests and TV power outlet installation questions: the kit gives you power behind the screen, but a brand-new outlet or circuit is an electrician's job, and we don't do electrical work. HDMI cable installation rides in the same kit, and a cable run to a cabinet up to 25 feet is $99.
Soundbar and TV installation is the pairing we see most in Long Island family rooms. Is there a company that mounts TVs and soundbars in one visit? Yes: a soundbar placed on the console is $79, wall-mounted under the screen it's $129, and the Sanus soundbar bracket is $84.99. For TV and audio installation beyond that, an A/V receiver hookup is $129, Sonos setup is $125, and full home theater setup is $350. Surround sound installation that needs new speaker wire pulled through walls or ceilings gets a written quote, since every Long Island house frames those runs differently, from cape attics to high ranch drop ceilings.
Some visits are about everything except the mount. TV WiFi connection, streaming apps and TV cable box installation are covered by a setup-only visit: the first hour is $225 in Nassau and $250 in Suffolk, then 30-minute blocks. TV antenna installation for cord-cutters gets a written quote, since roof and attic work varies from house to house. TV mounting repair is usually a re-hang. If you have a TV mount pulling away from wall anchors that never reached a stud, we take the TV down ($85), remove the failed bracket ($45) and remount into studs, block or a backer board at the posted price for that wall.
Searching TV installation near me or TV mounting company near me from Massapequa or Smithtown? Who can mount my TV near me comes down to whether a 2-hour window is open in your part of the Island. Where can I find a TV installer today? Check the online calendar: same-day happens only when a window is open, and next day TV installation can often be booked when tomorrow still has openings, 8 AM–8 PM, seven days a week. We don't run an emergency TV mounting service or after-hours calls. Professional TV installers near me searches also turn up marketplaces; when you hire TV mounting service from us, the tech works for a NYS licensed, insured low-voltage contractor.
How much does TV mounting cost compared with other options? Run a TV mounting service comparison on the full total: base, size, wall and wires. How much would someone charge to hang my TV on a plain wall here? $209.99 in Nassau or $229.99 in Suffolk, all labor. An affordable TV mounting service is one that shows that total before you pay. When you read TV mounting company reviews, look for comments about brick, plaster and block walls, not just speed. The best TV mounting service for your house checks the wall first. Want a TV mounting service with warranty? Brackets carry the manufacturer's warranty; labor isn't warrantied. Our TV hanging service aims to make every wall mounted TV installation hold the first time.
Levittown, Wantagh, Bethpage and Hicksville are full of capes, most expanded with dormers. Downstairs walls are usually framed with wood studs; upstairs bedrooms often have sloped ceilings and short knee walls, which limit where a bedroom TV can sit. We measure viewing height from the bed, not the floor.
The high ranch is everywhere from Franklin Square to Farmingville. Upstairs living rooms are usually standard framing. The lower-level den is the catch: the lower part of those walls is often the concrete block foundation, furred out and covered with drywall, so the mount has to anchor into the block.
Common in Syosset, Commack, Dix Hills and Smithtown. Family rooms often have a brick or fieldstone fireplace and a long wall of windows, which pushes the TV over the mantel. Basements from that era often have wood paneling, and TV mounting on wood paneling still means finding the studs behind it. We check heat at the mantel and offer pull-down mounts when the fireplace gets real use.
Garden City, Rockville Centre, Sea Cliff, Port Washington and Huntington village have houses that predate drywall. TV mounting on plaster wall surfaces over wood lath needs a slow drill so the plaster doesn't crack. We anchor to studs behind the lath and price plaster at a flat +$45.
Hamptons, North Fork and South Shore canal homes add pool houses, covered porches and big open great rooms with high walls. Expect outdoor mounts, ceiling mounts and the high-mount add of $75 when the TV goes above about 8 feet, plus kitchen TV mounting in open floor plans.
Long Beach oceanfront buildings, Great Neck co-ops and garden apartment complexes across both counties often require a certificate of insurance before work. We send the COI free, and apartment TV mounting or condo TV installation here often means concrete ceilings and TV mounting on partition walls built with metal studs.
Most Long Island framing is wood, usually 16 inches on center. For TV mounting on drywall we locate two studs and drive lag bolts into their centers, never relying on drywall anchors for a TV. No add-on: TV mounting on wood studs is the $209.99 Nassau / $229.99 Suffolk base.
Found in pre-war village homes and some early post-war houses. We score the surface, drill slowly to avoid cracking the plaster keys, and lag through the lath into the studs. Plaster adds $45. Old plaster can still crack, and patching and painting are not included in any job.
For TV mounting on brick wall and TV mounting on stone fireplace jobs, we first confirm solid masonry or thin veneer. On solid brick we set sleeve or wedge anchors in the brick face, not the mortar joint. Uneven fieldstone gets shims, since TV mounting on uneven wall faces needs a flat bracket. Veneer gets a different plan. Brick or stone adds $65; above the fireplace adds $130.
High ranch lower levels and finished basements often hide block behind drywall. For TV mounting on cinder block or TV mounting on concrete wall jobs, we drill through to the masonry, use anchors sized for the TV, and shim off the furring so the bracket sits flat. Concrete or cinder block adds $75.
Offices along Route 110 and many condo partitions use steel studs. TV mounting on metal studs uses heavy toggle anchors across multiple studs, or a plywood backer board ($85) for big screens and full-motion arms. This is also how we handle TV mounting on commercial walls. Metal studs add $30.
TV mounting on tile wall or TV mounting on marble wall surfaces, common in renovated kitchens and bathrooms, adds $95 and uses diamond bits; tile can crack. For patio TVs on vinyl siding we add a mounting block over the framing and seal every hole. Outdoor mounting adds $90.
Long Island businesses don't sit on one main street. They're spread along turnpikes, downtown villages and office parks from Elmont to Riverhead. Bars want every seat to see the game during Islanders season and big events like the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage. Medical offices want waiting room TVs that clear the ADA 4-inch protrusion rule. Offices along Route 110 want conference room TVs on metal-stud walls. We use the same posted prices, send a COI free, and work 8 AM–8 PM, seven days a week.
Under the 2010 ADA Standards (section 307.2), a wall-mounted object with its leading edge between 27 and 80 inches above the floor can't protrude more than 4 inches into a circulation path. For medical office TV mounting and waiting room TV installation, we mount above 80 inches, use a low profile TV mounting bracket, or keep the TV out of the walking path.
Many Long Island condo boards, co-ops, HOAs and commercial landlords require a certificate of insurance naming them before any contractor drills. We're licensed and insured, and we issue the COI free. Send us the building's requirements when you book so the paperwork is ready before your arrival window.
The National Electrical Code (Article 400.12) doesn't allow flexible cords like a TV's power cord to run through walls. That's why our concealment uses a code-compliant in-wall power kit ($169). If you need a brand-new outlet, that's an electrician's job, and we'll tell you before we start.
Yes. A lease or HOA rules can ban drilling, so TV mounting for apartment renters in accessory apartments and HOA communities starts with written permission. If we arrive and approvals are missing, the $150 return-trip fee applies, so confirm early. Full rules are on our TV installation policies page.
For a 32″–55″ TV on a flat or tilt mount, drywall over wood studs, it's $209.99 in Nassau and $229.99 in Suffolk, labor only. From there you add what applies: $30 for 56–65″, $60 for 66–75″, $100 for 76–85″, $130 above a fireplace, $65 for brick or stone, $45 for plaster, $169 for in-wall concealment. You see the total before you pay, and nothing is added on site without your approval.
Drive time. Suffolk runs from Huntington and Babylon all the way out to Montauk and Orient Point, and a tech heading east on the LIE or Sunrise Highway can spend more time driving than mounting. Suffolk's base is $229.99 versus $209.99 in Nassau, a $20 difference. The add-ons for fireplaces, walls, concealment and big TVs are the same in both counties, so the TV mounting labor cost only changes at the base.
We do, every week. Most brick fireplaces in 1950s and 1960s ranches and split-levels are solid enough to hold a TV when anchors go into the brick, not the mortar. Some newer ones are thin veneer over framing and need a different method. The cost to install TV mount on brick is the base plus $65. A 65″ TV above a brick fireplace comes to $434.99 in Nassau ($209.99 + $30 + $130 + $65) and $454.99 in Suffolk.
Yes, we can mount a TV above a fireplace, but whether you should depends on how hot the mantel gets and how high the TV ends up. Wood-burning fireplaces in older Long Island homes can put real heat on the wall above, and many TV makers warn against heat sources in their manuals, so check yours. If the mantel area gets hot, or the TV would sit too high to watch comfortably, a pull-down MantelMount (+$160) brings the screen down to eye level when you watch.
Yes, and it's one of the most common Long Island jobs we price. On the lower level, the bottom few feet of the front and back walls are often concrete block foundation, furred out with drywall. A stud finder picks up the furring strips and makes it look like normal framing. We drill a test hole, anchor into the block with masonry fasteners rated for the TV, and add $75 for the block wall.
The cost to mount a 65 inch TV on drywall is $239.99 in Nassau and $259.99 in Suffolk. The cost to mount a 75 inch TV is $269.99 in Nassau and $289.99 in Suffolk. The cost to mount an 85 inch TV, or a 77″ or 83″ OLED, falls in the 76–85″ tier: $309.99 in Nassau and $329.99 in Suffolk. 86″–97″ screens add $175 and 98″ and up add $220, both with two techs, so if you're wondering who installs really big TVs, we do. Brackets are separate.
On most interior drywall walls, yes. To hide TV wires in wall cavities we use a code-compliant in-wall power and cable kit for $169, with a recessed TV outlet behind the screen and in wall HDMI cable routing in the same run. Exterior walls in Long Island homes are usually insulated and may have fire blocking, and block or brick walls can't be fished at all. For those we use a paintable cord cover ($59) or a 25-foot cable run to a cabinet ($99).
If you want a real new outlet, yes. We don't add or move outlets, because that's electrical work for a licensed electrician. What we can do is the in-wall power kit ($169), which puts a recessed inlet behind the TV fed from your existing outlet below. That gives you a TV mounted above fireplace with hidden wires or on a plain wall without new wiring. Outdoor TVs need a GFCI-protected outlet first.
Often, yes. We work 8 AM–8 PM, seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays in both counties. Every appointment is a 2-hour arrival window, never an exact time. Same day TV mounting only happens when a window is open near you, so book TV mounting service online early, especially for TV mounting before Super Bowl weekend or Thanksgiving, when Long Island calendars fill fast.
Yes. Outdoor mounting adds $90. On vinyl siding we find the framing, install a mounting block so the siding isn't crushed, and seal the holes. Bracket options include the Samsung Terrace outdoor mount ($149.99), a Sanus outdoor tilt ($239.99) or a SunBriteTV full-motion ($589.99). Use an outdoor-rated TV or keep it under a covered patio, especially near the salt air on the South Shore and East End.
Yes. Older village homes often have plaster over wood lath, and sometimes plaster right on masonry. We find the studs behind the lath, drill slowly so the plaster doesn't crack, and lag into the framing. Plaster adds $45. Even with care, old plaster can crack around a hole, and patching and painting aren't included, so plan for a little touch-up if the wall is already fragile.
If it's 43 inch TV mounting on a bedroom drywall wall with wood studs, DIY is fine if you're comfortable with a stud finder and lag bolts. That's the honest handyman vs professional TV installer answer. Hire a pro when the wall is brick, block, plaster or tile, when the TV is 65″ or bigger, when it's going over a fireplace, or when you want the wires inside the wall.
Yes, and it's free. Many Long Island condos, co-ops, townhouse communities and HOAs require a certificate of insurance listing the association or management company before any work. Send the exact wording your board wants when you book. We're a NYS licensed low-voltage contractor (License #12000287431), fully insured, and we get the certificate to your building before your arrival window.
Yes, just plan for it. Ida flooded basements across Long Island in 2021, and many finished basements here sit on concrete block or poured walls. Mount the TV high enough that the cable box, soundbar and power strip stay well off the floor, and think about where the outlet is. A concrete or cinder block wall adds $75; drywall over wood framing has no add-on.
The cleanest look for low profile TV mounting, sitting about an inch off the wall. Best for living room TV mounting where the screen sits at eye level, and for waiting rooms that must stay under the 4-inch ADA limit. Sanus VLL5-B2, $159.99. Samsung Frame TV installation uses its own slim mount and adds $70.
Angles the screen down when the TV has to go higher than ideal, like bedroom TV mounting over a dresser in a cape, master bedroom TV installation across from a tall bed, or above a modest mantel. Sanus VLT7-B2, $199.99.
Articulating TV mount installation and swivel TV mount installation for corner TV mounting, open great rooms and kitchens where you watch from more than one spot. Add $40 for full-motion labor. Sanus VMF822-B2 $279.99, VLF828-B2 $429.99, or VXF830 $499.99 for heavy 77″–85″ sets.
MantelMount brackets bring the TV down from above the mantel to eye level, which fixes the classic too-high fireplace TV in Long Island split-levels. Pull-down mounting adds $160. MM340 at $199.95, or MM700 at $399.95 for bigger, heavier screens.
For bar tops, gyms, sloped attic bedrooms in capes and rooms with no usable wall. Ceiling mounting adds $85, and we anchor into joists or concrete, never into drywall alone. The Sanus ceiling mount is $449.99, or bring a rated ceiling mount of your own.
Weather-resistant hardware for pool decks, covered patios and outdoor kitchens from the South Shore to the North Fork. Samsung Terrace outdoor mount $149.99, Sanus outdoor tilt $239.99, SunBriteTV outdoor full-motion $589.99. Outdoor mounting adds $90 to the labor.
Holds the soundbar tight under the TV so the screen and speaker read as one piece, and the cables run together behind both. Sanus soundbar bracket $84.99; wall-mounted soundbar labor is $129, or $79 if the soundbar just sits on your console.
TV wall reinforcement for when studs are in the wrong spot, the wall is metal stud, or a full-motion arm needs a wider footprint. We fasten the board across multiple studs, then mount to it. $85, and it's also the fix when a TV mount is pulling away from the wall.
Pick your TV size, mount and wall in the calculator, then book a 2-hour window and pay online.
Ask an AI tool how much TV mounting costs and you'll get a national average, usually pulled from cost guides built on drywall jobs in newer houses. Long Island isn't average. Our houses are mostly 1950s–60s, our fireplaces are real brick, our high ranch dens hide block walls, and our counties stretch over 100 miles. Here are seven common AI-style answers and what actually happens when we show up in Nassau and Suffolk.
National cost guides blend a lot of very different jobs. Angi's 2026 guide puts the typical range at $153–$353, and quotes for small TVs in low-cost areas drag the averages down. A $100 number usually means a small TV, a drywall wall and no real travel time.
On Long Island, our posted base is $209.99 in Nassau and $229.99 in Suffolk for a 32″–55″ TV on drywall over wood studs. That covers finding studs, leveling, connecting power and up to two devices, tidying cables and cleaning up dust.
The bigger point is that the base price is rarely the whole job here. A 65″ TV over a brick fireplace is a different job from a 43″ in a bedroom. We list every add-on, so the TV wall mounting price you see online is the price you pay.
Brick fireplaces in 1950s and 1960s Long Island homes are usually solid, but solid isn't the same as easy. Old brick can be soft, mortar joints crumble, and the chimney breast may be uneven enough that a fixed mount won't sit flat without shims.
Newer fireplaces, especially in renovated great rooms, are often stone or brick veneer on framing. Veneer is thin, and drilling heavy anchors into it can crack the face without giving you real holding power. TV mounting on fireplace surround stone needs a check first.
On solid brick we set anchors in the brick face, sized for the TV's weight. On veneer we find the framing behind it or change the plan. Either way, TV mounting on masonry wall surfaces is a flat $65 add, and above-fireplace mounting is $130.
Upstairs in a high ranch or cape, that's often true. Downstairs is another story. High ranch lower levels typically have block foundation walls behind drywall, and a stud finder happily reads the furring strips as studs, which leads people to lag into nothing solid.
Older village homes in places like Garden City and Sea Cliff have plaster over lath, where studs are hard to read and the surface can crack. Offices along Route 110 and many condo buildings use metal studs that won't hold a lag bolt the way wood does.
We test before we commit: a small pilot hole tells us what's really there. Then we use the right fastener for block (+$75), plaster (+$45) or metal studs (+$30), or add a plywood backer board ($85) when the studs don't line up with the bracket.
This one shows up constantly in DIY answers, and it's wrong. The National Electrical Code doesn't allow flexible cords, like the one on your TV, to run through walls. It's a fire-safety issue, not a style choice, and it can come up when you sell or renovate the house.
The right way is a code-compliant in-wall power kit, with a recessed inlet behind the TV fed from your existing outlet below. We install that, along with HDMI and other cables, for $169 on walls that can be fished. That's TV mounting with cable concealment done properly.
Exterior walls in Long Island homes are usually insulated, some have fire blocking, and brick or block walls can't be fished at all. In those cases we suggest a paintable cord cover ($59) or a cable run to a cabinet ($99), and we tell you before work starts.
A cover helps with rain, but it doesn't fix the mount. South Shore and East End patios get wind off the water and salt air, and a standard indoor bracket will rust and loosen over a few seasons, especially on a pool deck that sees spray every summer.
We use outdoor-rated mounts like the Samsung Terrace bracket, Sanus outdoor tilt or SunBriteTV full-motion, anchored into framing behind vinyl siding with a mounting block, or into brick and stone with masonry anchors. Outdoor mounting adds $90 to the base.
Power is the other half. An outdoor TV should plug into a GFCI-protected, weather-resistant outlet. We don't do electrical work, so if that outlet isn't there, have an electrician add it before your appointment so you don't pay the $150 return-trip fee.
Some answers make same-day sound guaranteed, as if a TV installer is always waiting around the corner. On Long Island, it depends on where you are and what the day looks like. A tech finishing a job in Valley Stream isn't going to be in Riverhead in 20 minutes.
We book every job in a 2-hour arrival window, never an exact time. Same-day is possible when a window is open in your part of the Island, and the online calendar shows you what's actually available instead of promising something we can't deliver.
We work 8 AM–8 PM, seven days a week, so weekend appointments are normal. The busiest stretches are right before the Super Bowl, Thanksgiving and other big holiday weekends, so if you need a holiday TV installation service date, book a few days ahead.
So, can one person mount a 75 inch TV? A trained installer can, with a rated bracket and careful lifting, and that's how we handle screens up to 85″. Past that, an 86″–98″ panel is too wide and heavy to line up safely alone, and thin OLED panels can flex and crack at the edges.
Our pricing reflects that. TVs from 76″ to 85″ add $100, and 86″–97″ screens add $175 with two techs, because a second set of hands is what keeps a large TV safe on a ladder. LG OLED TV installation and Sony Bravia TV installation at those sizes get the same care.
Big screens also need a bracket rated for their weight and VESA pattern. For heavy 77″–85″ sets we usually recommend a heavier full-motion mount like the Sanus VXF830 ($499.99) or a solid fixed mount, and we check the rating before anything goes on the wall.

A homeowner moving from Mineola to Wantagh asked us to price taking down and reinstalling two TVs. One is a 77″ LG Gallery (GX) on a plaster wall, hung on a flush gallery-style mount; the other is about 50″ on a standard VESA mount. It's a common Long Island move: older plaster walls on the way out, unknown walls on the way in. It's at the quote stage. The takedown side is straightforward to price, but we told the homeowner to hold off choosing mounts until we've seen the new walls in Wantagh, because whether they're wood-stud drywall, plaster or block changes the right bracket and the final price.
We also mount TVs in Hempstead, Hicksville, Massapequa, Freeport, Valley Stream, Port Washington, Huntington, Babylon, Bay Shore, Smithtown, Patchogue, Riverhead and the Hamptons.
These are the actual Long Island TV mounting service prices, not a range. The base covers a 32″–55″ TV on a flat or tilt mount, on drywall over wood studs, labor only: $209.99 in Nassau County and $229.99 in Suffolk County. Everything else is a fixed add-on that's the same in both counties, by TV size, mount type, wall material and extras like wire concealment and soundbars. Pick what applies to your room and the TV installation cost adds up in front of you before you pay.
All prices: flat or tilt mount on drywall over wood studs unless noted, labor only, bracket extra.
Size prices below are for Nassau County; other areas add the same difference on every line, and the calculator does it for you.
Most Long Island jobs fall into one of three bundles. They group the add-ons people usually choose together, so you don't have to build the job line by line. Prices follow the Nassau or Suffolk base, and anything in a package can be swapped in the calculator. Package prices are for Nassau County; brackets are extra.
Bring your own: Already have a bracket? We'll mount with it as long as it's rated for your TV's weight and VESA pattern. Labor-only pricing is the same posted base: $209.99 in Nassau and $229.99 in Suffolk. Not mounting at all? We'll set your TV on a stand, connect it and set it up for $137.99 in Nassau or $152.99 in Suffolk. Want a TV installation estimate for something unusual first? Request a free TV mounting quote.
We do if you add one. If you're asking whether there's a company that mounts TVs and soundbars and supplies the hardware too, that's us, so you can book TV mounting service with bracket in one checkout. Brackets are sold at list price, from the Sanus VLL5-B2 fixed mount at $159.99 up to the SunBriteTV outdoor full-motion at $589.99. You can also use your own if it's rated for your TV's weight and VESA pattern.
A standard 55″ on drywall usually takes about an hour once we're in the door. Fireplaces, block walls, in-wall concealment and soundbars add time, and large TVs with two techs take longer to lift and level. We give you a realistic estimate when we confirm your 2-hour arrival window.
Measure from where your eyes are when you're sitting up or lying in bed, not from the floor. That usually puts the center of the screen higher than in a living room. In cape bedrooms with sloped ceilings, a tilting mount helps angle the screen down toward the bed.
The recommended TV mounting height for most living rooms puts the center of the screen near seated eye level, roughly 40–45 inches off the floor depending on your couch. Over a fireplace you'll be higher than that, which is why we often suggest a tilting or pull-down mount.
Look at the back of the TV for four threaded holes in a square or rectangle. That spacing in millimeters, like 300×300 or 400×400, is your VESA pattern, also listed in the manual. Choose a mount that matches the pattern and is rated above your TV's weight.
Mounting leaves a few screw holes behind the bracket and, with concealment, two small openings behind the TV. When you move the TV later, those holes stay. Patching and painting aren't included, and older plaster, tile or marble can crack, which you accept when choosing those walls.
Yes. Our TV mount relocation service is priced in parts: taking down an old TV is $85, removing an old bracket is $45, and we remount on the new wall at the posted price for that wall and TV size. Moving across the Island? We price the new address by its county.
Yes, we can mount multiple TVs in your office or dining room. We handle restaurant TV installation, sports bars, conference rooms, gyms, medical waiting rooms and digital signage. A single TV follows the posted list, so the TV installation price per TV is clear up front, while dual and multi-TV walls get a written quote, and we send a free COI when your landlord or property manager needs one.
No surprise charges. If we find block behind drywall, plaster you didn't select, or a wall that needs a backer board, we tell you the price before any work starts. You can approve it, change the plan, or reschedule. Nothing gets added to your bill without your yes.
Rescheduling is free with at least 24 hours' notice. With less than 24 hours, $150 is kept. If we arrive and can't start because the TV or bracket isn't there, no one's home, or building approvals are missing, there's a $150 return-trip fee.
We cover all of Nassau and Suffolk. Whether you'd search for TV installation Hempstead, TV mounting Hicksville, TV mounting Huntington, TV mounting Islip or TV installation Babylon, it's the same posted price for your county. County pages: TV installation Nassau County and TV mounting Suffolk County.
A fixed mount holds the TV flat about an inch off the wall and costs nothing extra to install. A full-motion mount swings out and swivels, which helps in corners and open rooms, adds $40 in labor and needs solid studs or a backer board. That's the tilting vs full motion TV mount question in short.
