Search "how much does it cost to mount a TV" and almost everything that comes back is a national cost-estimate site quoting a wide range, or a local company asking you to submit your info for a callback. Neither actually tells you what you'll pay. Below is the real, current price list for South Jersey — the same one published on the full pricing page and used to book jobs online, no negotiation involved.
Why this is different: flat pricing, tax included, quoted before you book — not an estimate that changes once someone's standing in your living room. 30-day workmanship warranty on every install.
TV mounting costs
The biggest cost driver for a TV mount isn't the TV size — it's what's behind the wall.
A basic drywall mount for a 55" TV with an existing outlet nearby is the most common job and the cheapest — $199 flat. Add cable concealment (the single most requested add-on) and you're at $348. Mounting above a brick or stone fireplace, which needs different anchoring, runs a bit more regardless of size.
Audio and surround sound costs
A soundbar is the cheapest real upgrade over TV speakers at $149. A true home-theater surround setup — the kind of finished-basement cinema room South Jersey's newer builds and additions have room for — runs $799 to $999 depending on channel count, including calibration to the actual room.
Projectors and screens
Smart home and security costs
Smart home add-ons are usually priced per device and stack cheaply once someone's already on site — most jobs that start as "just mount the TV" end up adding a doorbell camera or a smart lock for well under $150 more since there's no separate trip charge.
What a real project costs, all in
Most South Jersey home theater projects aren't a single line item — they're a TV or projector plus audio plus a couple of smart-home touches, booked in one visit. Three realistic combinations, priced from the list above:
For the exact price on anything not listed above — travel outside the immediate service area, an unusual mounting surface, or a larger multi-room project — the full service menu covers close to everything; anything left over is a five-minute phone call away from a flat quote, not an estimate.
Frequently asked questions
Why don't other installers just tell you the price?
Nearly every TV mounting and home theater company serving Cherry Hill, Voorhees, and the rest of Camden and Burlington counties uses a "call for a free quote" model. That's the norm here, not a sign the job is unpredictable — most residential AV work is fairly standard once you know square footage and wall type, which is exactly what the table above accounts for.
Does the price change once you're on site?
No — the price quoted before booking is the price paid, tax included. If something genuinely changes the scope (a wall that turns out to be solid masonry where drywall was expected, for example), that's discussed and agreed before any extra work starts, never added to the bill afterward.
Is there a minimum job size?
The smallest standalone jobs — a streaming device setup or a single smart device swap — start around $59–$89. There's also a $119 service call / diagnostic minimum for anything that needs a look before a fix (a Wi-Fi dead zone, a system that stopped working).
