Mount It Up TV Mounting: What They Offer and How to Work With Them

By Constance Obi · Culture & Recreation Writer

What Mount It Up TV Mounting Does

Mount It Up TV Mounting is a South Carolina-based TV installation service that handles the physical work of mounting televisions to walls, running cables, and setting up home entertainment systems. They come to your home, assess your space, install the mount hardware, secure the TV, and route cables—work that requires tools, knowledge of wall construction, and experience with different TV sizes and mount types.

The service is useful if you own a TV but lack the equipment, confidence, or time to mount it yourself. Rather than renting tools or attempting installation without experience, you hire Mount It Up to do the job. This is different from buying a TV at a retailer that offers installation as part of the sale; Mount It Up works with TVs you already own or have purchased elsewhere.

Key Takeaways

  • Mount It Up handles the physical installation of TV mounts, securing the TV to the wall, and running cables through or behind walls.
  • You will need to know your TV's size, weight, and VESA mounting pattern (the hole spacing on the back) before contacting them for a quote.
  • The service typically costs more than a DIY mount kit but less than buying a new TV, and the price varies based on wall type, cable routing complexity, and TV size.
  • Contact Mount It Up directly through their local South Carolina phone number or website to discuss your specific setup and receive a price estimate.

What Information You Need Before Contacting Them

Before you call or message Mount It Up, gather details about your TV and the wall where you want it mounted. You will need your TV's screen size (measured diagonally), the weight (usually printed on the back or in the manual), and the VESA mounting pattern—a set of four holes on the back of the TV measured in millimeters, typically something like 100x100 or 200x200.

Also note the wall material: drywall over studs is standard and easiest to mount into, but plaster, brick, tile, or concrete require different anchors and techniques. If you want cables hidden inside the wall rather than running along the surface, mention that too, because it affects the complexity and cost of the job. Take a photo of the wall and the space around it so Mount It Up can see what they are working with.

Types of Mounts and Installation Scenarios

Mount It Up can install several mount styles depending on your needs. A fixed mount holds the TV flat against the wall with no tilt or swivel—the cheapest option and the most secure. A tilting mount lets you angle the TV up or down after installation, useful if you are mounting above eye level. A full-motion or articulating mount swings the TV out from the wall and rotates, giving you the most flexibility but costing more and requiring more wall space.

Installation complexity also depends on where you want cables to go. Running them along the wall surface behind a cable cover is faster and cheaper. Routing them inside the wall (called in-wall installation) requires drilling holes, fishing cables through the wall cavity, and potentially cutting access holes—this takes longer and costs more but looks cleaner. Mount It Up can advise which approach works for your wall type and layout.

What Happens During the Installation Visit

When Mount It Up arrives, they will inspect the wall, locate studs using a stud finder, and mark where the mount will go. They will drill holes into the studs or use heavy-duty anchors if studs are not available at your chosen height. The mount bracket gets bolted securely to the wall, then the TV is carefully lifted and attached to the bracket.

Next, they run cables from your cable box, streaming device, or other equipment to the TV. If you want cables hidden, they will drill through the wall, feed the cables through, and patch or cover the holes. They will test the TV to make sure it powers on and the picture displays correctly, then show you how to use the remote and any adjustments the mount allows.

Cost and What Affects the Price

Mount It Up's pricing depends on several factors: the size and weight of your TV, the type of mount you choose, the wall material, and whether you want in-wall cable routing. A basic fixed mount on drywall with surface-run cables costs less than a full-motion mount on a concrete wall with cables hidden inside. Service call fees, travel distance within South Carolina, and any additional work (like installing a soundbar or running power to a new outlet) also affect the total.

The best way to learn the price for your specific job is to contact Mount It Up directly with the details you gathered about your TV and wall. They can give you a quote over the phone or after a brief in-home assessment. Prices are typically lower than hiring a general contractor but higher than buying a basic mount kit and attempting installation yourself.

How to Contact Mount It Up and Schedule

Reach Mount It Up through their local South Carolina phone number or website to describe your project and request a quote. Have your TV information and wall details ready when you call. They will ask questions about your setup, discuss mount options, and give you a price range or exact quote depending on how much detail you can provide.

Once you agree on a price, you can schedule an installation time that works for your schedule. Most jobs take one to three hours depending on complexity. Make sure your TV is available and accessible on the day of installation, and clear the wall area of furniture or decorations that might be in the way.

Alternatives If Mount It Up Is Not Available

If Mount It Up is booked or does not service your area, other options exist. Many local handyman services and electricians offer TV mounting as part of their work. Big-box electronics retailers sometimes provide installation services, though usually at a premium price and often only if you buy the TV from them. You can also hire a general contractor, though that is typically more expensive than a specialized service.

If you prefer to handle it yourself, TV mount kits are widely available online and in stores, ranging from basic fixed mounts under $50 to full-motion mounts over $200. This route requires you to own or rent tools like a drill, stud finder, and level, and to feel confident working at height and with power tools. Many people find professional installation worth the cost to avoid mistakes that could damage the TV or create safety issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy the mount from Mount It Up, or can I provide my own?

Contact Mount It Up directly to ask their policy. Some installation services require you to purchase the mount through them, while others allow you to provide your own as long as it is appropriate for your TV size and weight. Clarifying this upfront prevents confusion and ensures you have the right equipment on installation day.

What if my TV is very large or unusually heavy?

Mount It Up can handle large and heavy TVs, but the mount type, wall reinforcement, and installation approach may change. Larger TVs sometimes require additional bracing or a mount rated for higher weight capacity. Discuss your TV's exact weight and size when you contact them so they can confirm they can do the job safely.

Can Mount It Up hide cables inside the wall if my house has plaster walls?

In-wall cable routing in plaster is more difficult and risky than in drywall because plaster can crack or crumble during drilling. Mount It Up can tell you whether it is feasible for your specific wall and may recommend surface-run cables with a cover instead. Ask them about this when you describe your wall type.

What if I want to move the TV to a different wall later?

Mount It Up can relocate your TV to another wall, though this is a separate service call and will cost less than the original installation since the mount may be reusable. If you think you might move the TV in the future, mention this when scheduling so they can plan the installation accordingly—for example, avoiding permanent wall damage if possible.

Do I need to have my cable box and other equipment set up before they arrive?

It is helpful but not always necessary. Mount It Up can connect your existing equipment, but if you have not set it up yet, let them know in advance. They can advise whether you should have everything ready or whether they can handle connections as part of the installation visit.
