Media walls that hide the wires and keep the wood
Full wall units, fireplace surrounds and media built-ins designed around your screen size, your equipment and the awkward corner the cable outlet is actually in.
What we build
Pieces in this collection
A television bolted to a bare wall with a cable snaking down it is the most common unfinished detail in an otherwise finished living room. A built-in solves the wires, adds the storage the room was missing, and gives the wall a reason to be looked at.
We plan the unit around your equipment first: screen size, sound bar or receiver, console gaming, ventilation, and where the outlets and data drops actually sit.
Full wall units
Floor to ceiling built-ins that frame the screen with shelving and closed storage.
Fireplace surrounds
Millwork either side of a fireplace, with a mantel and a screen position that works.
Floating media shelves
A lighter option: a solid wood shelf run with concealed cable routing.
Equipment cabinets
Ventilated, IR friendly cabinets so receivers and consoles stay hidden and cool.
Display lighting
Integrated LED lighting on shelving, dimmable and wired before install.
Basement theatre millwork
Bar tops, tiered seating platforms and acoustic panelling for finished basements.

Before you commission
What we work through together
Screen size and height
Centre of the screen should sit near seated eye level. We set the opening from your seating distance, not from the wall.
Ventilation
Enclosed electronics need airflow. We build vented backs and leave service access behind the equipment.
Cable routing
Conduit and grommets go in before the unit is installed, which means no visible wires and easy upgrades later.
Wood versus paint
Stained wood is warmer and hides fingerprints; painted units disappear into the wall and let the wood show elsewhere.

Questions
Answers before you get in touch
If yours is not here, ask us directly. We answer every inquiry personally.
- Can you build around an existing fireplace?
- Yes, and we do it often. We scribe to the existing masonry or surround rather than asking you to change it.
- Will the TV be recessed or mounted on the face?
- Either. Recessed looks cleaner but limits future screen sizes, so we usually oversize the opening slightly and discuss the trade-off with you.
- Do you coordinate with an audiovisual installer?
- Yes. Bring them into the design conversation early and we will build the pathways they need.
- How long does a media wall take?
- Typically six to twelve weeks from approved drawings, with one to two days on site for installation.
Our process
From first message to installed piece
Seven clear stages, so you always know what happens next.
- 01
Initial inquiry
Tell us what you have in mind. A rough idea, a room measurement, or a photo you saved is plenty to start with.
- 02
Consultation
We talk through how the piece will be used, who sits where, what has to fit, and which woods and finishes suit the room.
- 03
Design and quote
You receive drawings, dimensions, wood and finish options, and a firm price. We adjust until it is right on paper.
- 04
Deposit and scheduling
A deposit reserves your spot in the shop calendar. You get a realistic build window, not a guess.
Reviews
What Saskatchewan homeowners say
“Our bunk room sleeps six now and the kids love it. They worked around an awkward ceiling and made it look intentional.”
“The mudroom is the hardest working part of our house. Boots, backpacks, hockey gear, all of it finally has a home.”
“They measured, drew it up, and built exactly what we talked about. No surprises, no chasing anyone for updates.”
