TV mounting is one of the most common handyman calls we get in Rockwall and East DFW — and one of the easiest to give an honest price for upfront. This guide gives you real 2026 cost ranges for the Rockwall-area market, what each upgrade actually adds, and what to expect when you book.
Want the full service rundown — what's included, mount options we stock, and same-week scheduling — see our TV mounting service page.
A 55" TV under 40 lbs goes up fast on a fixed mount. An 85" TV in the 80+ lb range needs a heavier mount, two-person handling and stronger anchoring — both take more time. The price scales with size more than most people expect.
Fixed (flush to wall) is the simplest. Tilt mounts add a little installation time. Full-motion mounts (the ones that swing out and pivot) are popular over fireplaces and corners — they weigh more, need stronger anchoring into multiple studs, and cost more to install. Worth it if you actually need the angle range.
Drywall over wood studs is the easy case. Add cost for:
Three options, three different costs:
Fireplace mounts have their own considerations:
If you're already paying for a service call, these are cheap to bundle:
If you have:
DIY is fair. Cost is materials only. Just make sure the bracket bolts into actual studs — drywall anchors alone won't hold a TV long-term, and a TV that comes off the wall costs more than the install.
Anything fireplace-related, anything 65"+ on tile/stone/brick, anything with in-wall cable concealment, anything where you don't know what's behind the surface. The install itself isn't dangerous — the wall damage and TV damage from a bad install is what costs.
Text us a photo of the wall you want to mount on (with something for scale — a couch, a person), the TV size, and whether you want cables hidden. We can usually quote within an hour during business hours, and most standard mounts get scheduled the same week.

A standard install — mount provided or installed (you choose), TV hung level, anchored to studs, basic cable management on the wall, tested with your input or HDMI. Usually starts around $299 for TVs up to about 55".
Typically $75-$200 more, depending on wall construction and the number of cables. Fishing power and HDMI through drywall to a lower receptacle is straightforward in most modern homes; harder when there's blocking, brick or stone in the way.
Yes, where the wall structure, surface and heat allow. Fireplace mounts typically run $375-$650 depending on TV size, mount type (often full-motion for viewing angle), surface (drywall vs tile vs stone), and whether cables get concealed. We assess the heat before quoting.
Either works. If you've already bought one, we'll install it. If not, we can bring a quality mount sized to your TV — fixed, tilt, or full-motion — and you choose. We confirm the model in the quote so there are no surprises.
Usually a small add-on — $50-$100 per item — and almost always done on the same visit so we're only out once. Same for media-console wall anchoring and decorative shelves around the TV.
