About these examples
Each example is a hypothetical, typical project for a kind of home that is common in the Costa Mesa area. Every picture is a concept illustration, AI-generated — not a photo of a completed installation — showing the kind of room and wall the scenario describes. The prices are the same market ranges used by the availability check, shown as ranges because an installer prices the actual job after seeing the wall.
What the ranges include
Each table starts from the labor range for the TV size on a standard wall, then adds the wall type and the options that define the scenario — a plaster or stone wall, a fireplace, hidden wiring, a supplied mount. Add-ons listed under an example are priced the same way. Nothing in these pages is an offer; the ranges describe what such work typically costs locally.
How to use them
Find the example closest to your room and wall, note the hardware it calls for and the typical range, then run the availability check below with your own TV size, wall and ZIP — the range it shows is built from the same table.
