TV mounting cost in Toronto (2026)
Updated
Mounting a TV in Toronto typically costs $80 for a 32–43″, $110 for a 44–55″, $140 for a 56–70″ and $180 for anything bigger — add about $30 for brick, stone or concrete walls.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| 32–43″ TV | $80 |
| 44–55″ TV | $110 |
| 56–70″ TV | $140 |
| 70″+ TV | $180 |
| Shelf / floating shelf | $60 |
| Mirror | $70 |
| Brick / concrete wall surcharge | +$30 |
Prices come from Taskly’s GTA rate table — the same engine that suggests budgets on the platform (market-checked, version 8). On Taskly the price you accept is a fixed offer, not a meter.
What moves the price
Five things decide what a task costs. Each one below is a band, not a fixed number — you see the actual figure as a fixed-price offer before you accept.
Screen size
| Screen size | Effect on price | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 32–43 inch | $80 | One person, one bracket. |
| 44–55 inch | $110 | The most common size in the GTA. |
| 56–70 inch | $140 | Two people from here up. |
| 70 inch and above | $180 | Heavier bracket, more anchors. |
Screen size is the whole price ladder: $80 at the small end and $180 at the large. The step that matters is around 55 inches, where a second pair of hands stops being optional.
Wall type
| Wall type | Effect on price | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Drywall with studs | Included | The assumed case in every price above. |
| Brick, concrete or tile | +$30 | Different anchors and a slower drill. |
| Plaster or lath | +$30 | Older Toronto homes — say so when posting. |
Wall type is the most common surprise. Drywall is assumed; brick, concrete, tile and old plaster each add about $30 because they need different anchors and a slower drill. A photo of the wall in the task saves a renegotiation at the door.
Cables and power
| Cables and power | Effect on price | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Cables left visible | Included | Bracket on, cables hanging. |
| Trunking over the wall | +$50 | Paintable channel, no wall opening. |
| In-wall concealment | Quote only | Depends on what is behind the wall. |
Mounting and cable-hiding are different tasks. The bracket price assumes cables stay visible; surface trunking adds about $50, and running cables inside the wall is quote-only because nobody can price it before seeing what is back there.
Other things on walls
| Other things on walls | Effect on price | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Floating shelf | $60 | Level matters more than weight. |
| Framed art | $50 | The cheapest wall task there is. |
| Mirror | $70 | Heavier and less forgiving than art. |
The same visit can cover more than the TV, and bundling beats booking twice. Art is $50, a shelf $60, a mirror $70 — each under the $75 visit floor on its own, which is exactly why they are worth adding to a booking you are already making.
What people forget to budget for
None of these are hidden by anyone. They are just the things that do not occur to you until the day.
| The bracket | Not included in any of the prices above. A decent fixed bracket is $50–$60 at retail; a full-motion arm costs more than the mounting itself. |
| Wall type | Adds about $30 for brick, concrete, tile or old plaster. Drywall is assumed in every quote and a photo of the wall in the task prevents the conversation happening at the door. |
| Cable concealment | Surface trunking is about $50 on top. Running cables inside the wall is quote-only, because nobody can price what is behind the drywall before opening it. |
When it is not worth paying someone
Mounting a TV is not difficult — it is unforgiving. The failure mode is not a wonky picture, it is a screen off the wall, and at $80–$180 the mounting costs a fraction of what it is holding up.
Do it yourself
- Framed art and small mirrors. The $50 price is mostly about getting it level.
- A small TV on drywall with visible studs, if you own a stud finder and a level.
- Anything where a mistake means a filler-and-paint job rather than a broken screen.
Worth paying for
- Anything over 55 inches — $140 and up — where the weight makes it a two-person lift.
- Brick, concrete or plaster walls. The $30 surcharge buys the right anchors and someone who has drilled them before.
- Full-motion arms, which put leverage on the fixings that a flat bracket never does.
How to pay less for tv mounting
- 01Buy the bracket yourself. Taskers rarely mark it up but you can shop the price, and you will own the spare fittings.
- 02Add the shelf, the art and the mirror to the same visit — each is under the $75 floor alone and nearly free once someone is already there with a drill.
- 03Photograph the wall and the TV back when you post. Accurate offers beat renegotiated ones.
- 04Accept visible cables, or run trunking. In-wall concealment is the single most expensive part of the task.
How we worked these numbers out
Every price on this page comes from Taskly’s published rate table, v8, last market-checked on . It is the same table that suggests budgets when someone posts a task, so these bands are what the platform itself works from rather than a figure written for this page.
Accepted offers behind these figures: —. We have not yet completed enough tasks in this category to publish a figure from real accepted offers, so this stays blank rather than being filled with an estimate. Bands here are the rate table, not observed transactions.
A band is not a quote. On Taskly you compare fixed-price offers and the price you accept is the price you pay.
TV mounting cost — FAQ
How much does it cost to mount a TV in Toronto?
Between $80 and $180 depending on screen size, with a 44–55 inch — the most common — at $110. Brick, concrete or plaster walls add about $30.
Can a TV be mounted on any wall?
Almost always, but about $30 separates drywall from everything else. Brick and concrete need different anchors, and old Toronto plaster-and-lath needs someone who has met it before — say which you have when you post.
Does the price include the bracket?
Usually not — most posters buy the bracket and the Tasker installs it. Ask the Tasker to bring one if you prefer; they’ll price it in their offer.
Can cables be hidden inside the wall?
Often yes on drywall — mention it in your task so offers include it. Concealment on brick/concrete is usually surface channel instead.
