What changes the cost

  • TV size & weight — big screens need heavier brackets and two installers.
  • Wall type — drywall‑into‑studs is standard; stucco, brick and stone need masonry anchors and more time.
  • Cable concealment — visible‑tidy is included; running wires inside the wall costs more.
  • Over a fireplace — height, heat clearance and often a pull‑down mount add cost.
  • Do you have the mount? — supplying the right bracket adds to the total.
  • Extras — soundbar, shelves or hiding a streaming box.

DIY vs hiring a pro

If you're confident with a stud finder, level and drill — and the TV's a manageable size on drywall — DIY is doable. Hire a pro when the TV is large, the wall is masonry or over a fireplace, you want cables hidden in the wall, or you simply don't want to risk a $1,500 TV on a $10 anchor. In San Diego, a pro mount's peace of mind is usually worth the $129‑ish.

FAQ

How much does it cost to mount a 65‑inch TV in San Diego?
A 65″ TV mount in San Diego typically runs $169–$229, depending on the wall and whether you want cables concealed in the wall (about +$79).
How much to mount a TV over a fireplace?
Over‑fireplace mounts in San Diego usually run $219–$299 because of the height, heat‑safe clearance, masonry anchors on stone/brick, and often a pull‑down or tilting mount.
Does the price include the wall mount?
Not always — many quotes are labor only. We can supply the correct bracket and add it to your quote (about +$40–$120), or fit one you already have.
Is it cheaper to mount a TV myself?
On a small TV on drywall, yes. For large TVs, masonry walls, over‑fireplace installs, or in‑wall cable runs, a pro is safer and not much more once you factor in tools and the risk to the TV.
