Need something beyond the base install? Here's the full menu — flat-rate, no surprises.
When other installers quote you "$80 to mount a TV," they mean exactly that — putting the bracket on the wall and walking out. Everything else is extra. We do it different. The $99 standard install includes labor, all hardware (lag bolts, anchors, washers), cable management for the wires you can see, level adjustment with a 36" digital level, and full input testing on the TV after mounting. Sales tax included. Cleanup included. Trip charge: zero.
Premium $149 adds the most-requested upgrade — wires hidden inside the wall. That's a code-rated recessed power outlet relocator behind the TV, a matching plate near your media console, and a CL3-rated HDMI cable fished through the wall cavity between them. The result: a TV that looks like it's floating, with no cables visible anywhere. Two brush plates ($18 in materials), a Datacomm or PowerBridge kit ($35), and the labor to fish the cable — all included for one flat $50 upgrade over standard.
Custom $249+ covers the harder walls and unusual situations. Brick fireplace? Mortar-joint anchored, masonry-rated lag shields, paint-matched surface raceway for cables. Stucco-on-block exterior wall? Sleeve anchors into the concrete, weatherproof if outdoors. Above-fireplace mounting on tile or stone? Heat-tested with infrared thermometer, full-motion tilt-down bracket. The "+" in "$249+" only kicks in when you have multiple complications stacked together (75"+ TV on outdoor brick fireplace with full electrical conduit run, for example) — for normal Custom-tier jobs, $249 flat is the final number.
Honesty time: there are jobs we don't include in flat-rate pricing because they're outside the scope of TV mounting. New electrical circuit installation requires a licensed Florida electrician — we partner with two we trust in Tampa Bay and can refer you. Drywall replacement after a previous bad install requires a finisher to mud, sand, and texture-match — also a referral. Custom AV rack design, full home theater calibration, and projector ceiling installs are different services we don't currently offer.
What we will do: tell you the truth before driving out. If your specific install is outside what we cover, we'll say so on the phone, point you to who can help, and not bill you for the conversation.
Flat-rate is quoted in writing via text before we drive out, locked in. Payment is due after the job is complete and you've inspected the work — we accept all major credit cards via Square, Zelle, Venmo, Apple Pay, and cash. No deposits, no holds, no upfront fees. If for any reason the install isn't what you expected, we work it out before payment is processed.

Hourly TV installers love when something goes wrong — every extra minute makes them more money. We're the opposite. Once we quote you a flat rate, we want to finish fast and leave you happy. Our incentives line up with yours: fast, clean, right the first time.
Hourly installers also love adding little fees: $20 for the cable, $35 for the anchor, $15 for the brush plate, $50 for the recessed outlet, $30 for the travel. By the time they leave, your "$80/hour" guy has billed you $280. We don't play that game.
Our flat rate covers labor, hardware, cable, anchors, plates, drilling, cleanup, level adjustment, input testing, and tax. The number we tell you is the number you pay.
Tell us about your TV and the wall — you'll get a flat-rate quote within minutes via text. No site visits. No "we'll get back to you next week." Just a real price and a real time slot.
