What drives the price

- Wall. Brick, stone and plaster take longer than drywall.
- Hiding wires. In-wall cable kits or an outlet behind the TV add cost.
- Over a fireplace. Harder to mount and wire.
Extra costs to plan for
| Item | Price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| New outlet behind the TV | about $210 | HomeAdvisor |
| Drywall repairs | $150 to $2,000 | HomeAdvisor |
Ask whether each of these is in the quote. Two bids for the same TV mounting can be far apart only because one includes them.
