The method

Most handymen quote TV mounting flat-rate. Build it from your hourly rate: about an hour for a standard mount on drywall into studs, two to three for in-wall cable concealment, more for brick or above a fireplace. Add materials with a markup and make sure it clears your minimum.

FAQ

Should I charge more for hiding cables?

Yes. In-wall concealment means cutting, fishing cable and installing a power kit, which can triple the time.

Do I need to know my hourly rate first?

Yes. Use the handyman pricing calculator to find it.
