- Load-rated fixingsAnchors chosen for the actual weight, not whatever came in the box with the bracket.
- Laid out before drillingHeights, centre lines and spacing marked and checked against the furniture below before a single hole goes in.
- Levelled and checkedLevelled at install, then rechecked after the load is on it.
- Dust controlledDrilling dust caught at the bit and the area vacuumed before we leave.

Local detail
Doing this in a New York building
The things that change a TV and wall mounting job here and rarely come up anywhere else.
-
Pre-war walls are not drywall
Plaster over terracotta block, brick or concrete is common in buildings from before the 1950s. It needs masonry bits and sleeve anchors, and it takes longer — which is why those jobs are priced higher.
-
Heat above a fireplace or radiator
Mounting a TV where hot air rises past it shortens its life. If that is the only spot, a full-motion arm that pulls the screen clear helps.
-
Rentals and the security deposit
Tell us it is a rental. We keep the hole count down and can patch and touch up on move-out.
-
In-wall cabling has limits
Running power inside a wall is electrical work. We install a low-voltage pass-through kit, which is the code-compliant way to get cables out of sight.
Questions
TV & Mounting FAQ
How much does TV mounting cost in NYC?
$139 for a TV up to 55" on drywall with studs, against $150–$200 typical in New York. Screens 65" and up, or plaster, brick and concrete walls, are $199–$279. In-wall cable concealment adds $179.
Do you supply the wall bracket?
You buy it — brackets are cheap online and you get to pick fixed, tilting or full-motion. Tell us the TV model and we will tell you the VESA size to order.
Can you mount on plaster, brick or concrete?
Yes, that is most of what we do here. It takes masonry anchors and more time, which is the reason for the higher price on those walls.
How much does picture hanging cost?
$65 for the first piece and $35 for each additional piece on the same visit. A laid-out gallery wall of five to nine frames is $289–$399.
Do you handle heavy mirrors?
Yes. Heavy mirrors and safes anchored into masonry start at $119, using fixings rated for the actual load rather than what came in the packet.
Can you hide the cables?
Yes. A low-voltage in-wall pass-through kit is $179 added to a mounting job. Running mains power inside the wall is licensed electrical work, so we do not do that.
