Cable routes built in
Conduit and access points go in at the carcass stage, so nothing is hanging down the wall or chased in later.
Built-ins & bookcases
Custom entertainment centers in Louisville are mostly a cable and ventilation problem, so those get solved on paper before any carcass is cut.
Custom entertainment centers in Louisville cover the carcasses, the shelving and doors, the television mounting or recess, and the cable and ventilation work behind all of it. Power and data are run by the relevant trade, and we build the routes for them.
The measurements that matter are the ones people skip. Receiver height, console depth, how far the television bracket stands off the wall, and where the sound bar has to sit so it is not blocked.
Conduit and access points go in at the carcass stage, so nothing is hanging down the wall or chased in later.
Anything with a fan gets a vented back and clearance above it, because a hot receiver shuts itself off.
Shelf heights come off the actual equipment and the actual television, not a standard opening.
Each stage is signed off before the next one starts.
We measure the room itself rather than working from the plan, because walls are rarely square and the plan is rarely what got built. Every opening gets checked.
You get a layout and a written estimate broken down by stage, so you can see what the doors cost against the boxes against the install. Free, nothing to sign.
Cabinetry is built to the measurements we took, in the wood, door style and finish you picked. Lead time depends on the scope and we tell you before you commit.
Scribed to the walls, levelled, and fixed properly. Hardware adjusted so every door and drawer sits straight before we leave.
Cable routes and airflow are decided before the first panel is cut.
Anyone whose living room has become a rack of black boxes on an open shelf. If the equipment is staying, it is worth housing properly.
It suits open-plan rooms particularly, where the television wall is visible from the kitchen and there is nowhere for clutter to hide. Alcove-flanked fireplaces work well too, with the media in one side and books in the other, which keeps the equipment off the chimney breast where the heat is.
Rented and resold houses are the exception. A media wall is joinery fixed to the structure, so it stays with the house rather than moving with you.
We start with a list of the equipment and its dimensions, including the depth of the largest item. Then the shelf heights and the vented compartments get drawn around that, with a route for every cable that has to reach a socket.
The wall is checked for studs and for anything a bracket has to hit. Build and finish happen in the shop, and installation includes fixing back to structure rather than into drywall alone.
These price as built-in cabinetry, so nationally that is roughly $500 to $1,200 per linear foot for full custom, and $300 to $850 per linear foot where the run is mostly open shelving.
Doors and detail move it. Closed storage costs more than open, glazed or slatted fronts more again, and integrated lighting adds an electrical connection that has to be allowed for.
If the television is small or wall-mounted with nothing under it, a run of built-ins & bookcases in Louisville does the job for less and gives you more shelf.
Where the same wall is also meant to serve drinks and glassware, home bar cabinets are the better brief. The same shop builds custom closets in Louisville, and we work across the metro including cabinets in The Highlands.

It will if the opening is sealed. Anything with a fan needs a vented back, clearance above it, or both, and that has to be built in rather than drilled into the back panel afterwards.
Yes, provided the routes go in at the carcass stage. Power and data are run by the relevant trade and we build the paths for them.
Recessing looks neater and fixes the size permanently. Mounting on the face keeps the option of a bigger screen later, which for most people is the safer choice.
The equipment list with depths, the television size and its bracket depth, and where the sound bar has to sit. Shelf heights come off those rather than off a standard opening.
We stay inside about 20 miles of Louisville, close enough to measure, template and install without the schedule slipping. These are the areas we cover most often.
