TV Mounting Cost in Texas 2026: Prices, Wall Types & What's Included

TV mounting is one of the most-booked handyman jobs in Texas — and one of the most over-quoted. Here's what it should cost in 2026 by city, wall type and TV size.

Average TV mounting prices in Texas

Standard drywall, up to 65 in: $90–$175
Standard drywall, 75–85 in: $150–$275
Drywall + cord conceal (in-wall): $175–$325
Brick or stone fireplace: $200–$450
Outdoor patio mount: $225–$500 (weatherproof bracket extra)

What changes the price

Wall type. Drywall over wood studs is fastest. Brick, stone, tile and metal studs add 30–60 min.
Cord routing. Surface raceway is cheap. In-wall power kits (Code-compliant Datacomm-style) cost more but look pro.
Mount style. Fixed < tilt < full-motion. Full-motion adds $40–$120.
Soundbar or shelf install: typically $40–$90 extra when added to the same visit.

City breakdown (one 65 in TV, in-wall conceal)

Dallas / Plano: $185–$300
Fort Worth: $150–$285
Houston: $175–$310
Austin: $200–$325
San Antonio: $135–$260

How to avoid surprise charges

Send the pro a photo of the wall and the TV box before they arrive.
Confirm whether the bracket is included.
Ask if cord concealment is in-wall (cleaner) or surface raceway.
Get the quote in writing — flat fee, not "starts at."

Skip the lead-fee surcharge

On most platforms, the pro pays $15–$40 just to reach you — and that gets added back into your quote. On Handy, pros spend a credit ($4.99 each, $3.50 in a 10-pack) only when they accept a confirmed job. You see the real price.
