Can any wall have the cords hidden inside it?

Most standard drywall interior walls can. Brick, stone, tile, and exterior walls with insulation barriers often can't be cut into safely, so a cord cover or raceway on the surface is used instead.

Do I need an electrician for the in-wall power kit?

Many jurisdictions allow a certified in-wall power kit to be installed without a licensed electrician since it's a low-voltage-style plug-and-play system, but local code can vary, so ask the provider what they follow.

Will patching the wall match my paint?

The handyman typically patches the drywall cleanly, but paint touch-up match depends on your existing paint being available or close enough. Ask if paint matching is included or a separate small add-on.

TV mounting with in-wall cord concealment

Basic TV mounting gets the screen on the wall, but a lot of homeowners specifically want the cables gone too, no power cord or HDMI cable hanging down to the media console. That's a different scope of work: it involves fishing an in-wall power kit or running cable through the wall cavity, which means checking for studs, insulation, and any obstructions before cutting drywall.

Expect the technician to mount the bracket, run an in-wall rated cord management kit (or fish existing low-voltage cable), patch the small openings, and test the connection before leaving. Brick, stone, or masonry walls change the approach since cutting into them isn't an option, so surface-mounted raceway covers are the usual alternative there.

Confirm whether you're supplying the in-wall power kit or the handyman is bringing one
Mention if your wall is brick, stone, or has a fireplace surround, it changes the method
Ask about drywall patching included versus billed separately if larger cuts are needed

What it costs

This costs more than a standard mount because it adds an in-wall cable kit or fishing work and small drywall patches. Price drivers include wall material (drywall is straightforward, brick or stone is not), TV size and mount type, and how many devices' worth of cable need to be hidden.
