You just bought a TV, or are about to, and want it on the wall without guessing what to buy or what it costs.
You already know the mount and the wall and only want a price. Go straight to the form with the button above.
What should I do first when the new TV arrives?
Keep the TV in its box, check its size and read the model name. The size and the model tell you which mount fits and how heavy the job is. Do not mount it yet; first decide where it should hang and what the wall behind it is made of.
Most TVs ship with a stand, not a wall mount, so a mount is a separate purchase. Mounts are sold to fit a range of TV sizes and weights, and the hole pattern on the back of the TV must match the mount. If you do not own a mount, we can supply one.
- Note the size and model. Read the screen size and the model name on the box or the back of the TV.
- Pick the spot. Sit where you will watch and mark the height of the centre of the screen.
- Choose the mount. Fixed, tilting or full-motion, or your own mount if you already have one.
- Check the wall and the wires. Know the wall type and decide whether cables stay visible or are hidden.
- See your total and book. The form adds every line and shows one total before you book.
Which mount should I choose: fixed, tilting or full-motion?
A fixed mount keeps the TV flat to the wall, a tilting mount angles it down a few degrees, and a full-motion mount swings and extends. Among customers who buy a mount from us, 38% choose full-motion, 33% fixed and 29% tilting. Pick by where you sit, not by price.
| Mount | Best for | Added to the labour | Chosen by buyers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed | One seat, TV at eye level, closest to the wall | $70 | 33% |
| Tilting | A TV above eye level, such as over a fireplace | $80 | 29% |
| Full-motion | Seats at different angles, corners, a TV you pull out | $125 | 38% |
| Your own mount | You already bought one | $0 | 52% of all quotes |
Source: Pixl Canada quote form, 843 quotes from 19 June 2025 to 1 October 2026. The 33%, 29% and 38% are shares of customers who buy a mount from us. For the full comparison, read fixed, tilting or full-motion mounts.
What is my wall made of, and does it matter?
Yes, it matters. The wall decides the anchors and adds a line to the price. Standard drywall over wood studs adds $0, plaster $10, drywall over metal studs $15, concrete, tile or stone $50 and brick $80. Not sure? Send a photo and we tell you.
Our TV mounting by wall type guide shows how to recognise each wall. If the TV is going above a fireplace, read the guide to mounting a TV above a fireplace, because heat and height change the plan.
What do I do about the wires?
You can leave the cables visible, tidy them in a channel, or hide them. Hiding wires adds $25 through an existing channel, $60 in a raceway on the wall or $99.50 inside the wall. In our quotes, 41% asked to hide the wires, and 46% of those chose inside the wall.
| Method | What it is | Added to the install | Chosen by those who hide wires |
|---|---|---|---|
| Existing channel | Cables run through a channel that is already in the wall | $25 | 34% |
| Raceway on the wall | A slim cover mounted on the wall surface | $60 | 20% |
| Inside the wall | Signal cables such as HDMI run inside the wall | $99.50 | 46% |

How much does it cost to get the TV on the wall?
Your total is the labour rate for your city and TV size, plus the mount, the wall and the wires. The median quote across 843 Pixl quotes was $235, before tax, and the middle half ran from $170 to $310. Your own total can sit above or below that.

| 55 inch, tilting mount, wires inside the wall | $99.99 labour + $80 mount + $99.50 wires | $279.49 |

Should I mount the TV myself or book an installer?
Mounting yourself can work for a small TV on a drywall wall with a stud in the right spot. A larger TV, a hard wall, a fireplace or hidden wires raise the risk of a crooked mount or a damaged wall, and a second pair of hands is needed to lift the TV.
| Factor | Doing it yourself | Booking an installer |
|---|---|---|
| TV size | Workable for a small TV, with a helper to lift | Better for large screens that need two people |
| Wall | Easiest on drywall with a stud where you need it | Brick, concrete, tile, stone, plaster and metal studs need the right anchors |
| Hidden wires | Opening a wall is the hard part | Channel, raceway or in-wall, priced up front |
| If something goes wrong | You repair the wall and the TV | See our warranty table on the Legal page |
If you want to do it yourself, our guide to mounting a TV yourself lists the steps. Not sure whom to hire? Read installer, handyman or store install.

New TV on the wall: questions
Does a new TV come with a wall mount?
Usually not. Most TVs ship with a stand, and a wall mount is a separate purchase. Check the hole pattern on the back of the TV against the mount’s range before you buy. If you do not own a mount, we can supply a fixed, tilting or full-motion mount, and the form shows the price.
How long before I can mount a new TV?
You can book as soon as you know your TV size and wall. Same-day service is available when we have an opening, so call or text with your city and the TV size and we tell you if there is room today. If not, we offer the next available time.
Can I mount a TV I bought online or from a store?
Yes. It does not matter where you bought the TV or the mount. Send the TV size and, if you already have a mount, its model, and the form shows your total. If you own the mount, that line is $0, and 52% of our quotes came from people who already had one.
Will mounting damage my wall?
Mounting leaves small holes where the anchors go, and these can be filled if you move the TV later. A mount placed on the right anchors for your wall type holds safely. Send a photo and tell us the wall, and we plan the anchors before the visit.
Do I pay before the install?
No. You pay after the job, by card, e-transfer or cash. The form shows your total before you book, so you know the amount first.
