Mounting Multiple TVs in One Visit in Lexington

Part of our complete guide: How to Mount a TV on Any Wall.

A lot of households are not mounting a television. They are mounting the living room one and the bedroom one, or the new set in the den and moving the old set into the garage, and they would rather not take two afternoons off work to do it.

That is one appointment, and it is priced in a way that is easy to work out in advance: every screen is quoted exactly as it would be on its own, and the trip is charged once. Here is how the arithmetic goes and what is worth deciding before the first hole gets drilled.

Every Screen Is Priced on Its Own

Installation is priced by screen size: 32" $129, 43" $129, 50" $129, 55" $129, 65" $139, 75" $229 and 85" $279. Each one covers mounting the TV, leveling, basic cable management and all the wall hardware for that screen.

Those rates are the same whether a screen is the only one in the house or the third one that day, so a multi-screen job is simply the screens added together. The mount is separate on each — flat $35, tilting $45, full-motion $125 for 32–55" sets — and a mount you already own that suits the screen and the wall gets fitted at no mount charge. Mixing is normal: a tilting mount over the fireplace and a flat one in the bedroom is a common pairing.

One timing note. Full-motion mounts are a special order rather than something carried on the truck, so if one of the screens needs an arm, say so when you book and we will have it before the visit rather than halfway through it.

The Trip Charge Is Once Per Visit, Not Once Per TV

This is the part that makes doing them together worth it. Service within 20 miles of Lexington is free, and Richmond is our home base, so it is free too. Beyond that there is one trip charge for the visit no matter how many screens go up: $35 for Frankfort, Paris and Harrodsburg, $45 for Danville and Berea, and $65 for Somerset, which gets scheduled in advance rather than same-day.

So two televisions in Danville carry $45 between them, not $90. The same applies to a job that is spread over a house — upstairs, downstairs and the garage are one visit.

Add-Ons Belong to the Screen, Not the Job

Add-ons work the other way around: each one attaches to the screen it is for, so two screens that both want their cables buried are two lots of concealment. The published list is:

• In-wall cable concealment — $99. Power and signal inside the wall with proper plates and low-voltage brackets, the existing outlet extended into the chase on a UL-listed in-wall rated cord kit, so there is no new circuit. See hiding TV wires in the wall.
• Soundbar mounting — $40. Per soundbar, under the screen it belongs to.
• Powerline adapter setup — $99. An ethernet signal carried over the house's existing electrical wiring, for a screen too far from the router to stream reliably. One kit per screen that needs it.
• Smart TV setup — $35. Apps, inputs and remotes sorted on that set, which is worth it on the one everybody actually uses.
• Old TV removal — $30. Per set hauled away, which is the one add-on that comes up most on a two-screen job, because there is usually an old screen coming down.

Where a wall cannot be opened — a rental, a shared wall, solid masonry — a painted surface raceway is the alternative to a chase, and we quote that once we have seen the wall. If a spot you have picked has no outlet near it, mention it when you book and we will tell you what that wall takes.

Walk the Whole House First

The thing that actually decides how a multi-screen visit goes is that the rooms rarely share a wall. A living room on drywall over timber framing, a brick chimney breast, a block basement wall and a plaster bedroom in an older Lexington house are four different anchoring jobs in one appointment, and each one wants its own hardware.

So it is worth doing a lap with a tape measure before the day. For each screen, settle where it goes, what the wall is, where the nearest outlet is and how high the seating in that room wants it — the right height in a den is the wrong height in a bedroom, which our guides to viewing height and placement and what is behind the wall both go into. Our appointment preparation guide is the short version of the list.

How the Arithmetic Looks

A worked example, using the prices above. Say a 65" goes over the living-room fireplace on a tilting mount with the cables buried, and a 50" goes in the bedroom on a flat mount with nothing extra:

• Living room: $139 install + $45 tilting mount + $99 concealment = $283
• Bedroom: $129 install + $35 flat mount = $164
• Two screens, one visit, inside the free service area = $447

Add a soundbar under the living-room set and it is $40 more; haul the old bedroom TV away and it is $30 more. Nothing is hidden in that sum, which is the point of publishing the list. Our full TV mounting cost guide has more scenarios worked out the same way.

Booking More Than One Screen

The booking form takes each television separately. Add a screen, pick its size, pick its mount, tick the add-ons for that screen, then add the next one — the total updates as you go, so the figure you see is the job you are actually booking rather than an estimate for one TV with a note attached.

Have the model numbers handy if you have them, especially for anything ultra-thin, where the bracket matters more than usual — see mounting an OLED. Larger sets are worth flagging too, since a 75" or 85" is a different lift and a different span of framing: mounting 75" and 85" TVs covers what those need.

Where the Second Screen Usually Goes

The commonest pairings we see are a living room and a bedroom, a living room and a garage or home gym, and a main room plus a basement. Landlords and hosts tend to do several units or several rooms in one go, which our guide to vacation rental TV mounting covers.

Businesses are a slightly different job, because a row of screens on one wall wants planning for sight lines and cable runs rather than just anchors — that is commercial TV mounting, and multi-screen layouts there are quoted per TV at the same base rates.

If you are weighing up how many to do now and how many to leave for later, the honest answer is that doing them together only saves the trip charge, not the install — so the reason to do it in one visit is the afternoon, not the money. Tell us the sizes and the rooms when you book and we will tell you what each wall takes before anything gets drilled.
