Can you match cabinet stain to my existing built-ins? That's one of the most common questions we get on media wall projects, and the answer is yes, matching existing trim and built-in stain is part of how Hewitt Custom Cabinets approaches every entertainment center build.

These are custom media wall cabinets built around your TV size, your wall dimensions, and your electronics setup, not a stock entertainment unit from a furniture store. We plan cable routing into the design from the start so cords disappear instead of hanging behind the TV.

What's included

What's Included

Typically included: cabinetry sized to the wall, open or closed shelving for media components, and cable routing built into the unit.

Optional: glass display doors, decorative trim to match existing millwork, and accent lighting for shelving.

Customer prep: know your TV size and mounting preference before the design consult so we can plan the layout around it.

FAQs

Entertainment Center Built-Ins FAQs

Can you match cabinet stain to my existing built-ins?

Matching stain and finish to existing trim or built-ins is a standard part of our design process for media wall projects.

What's the difference between semi-custom and full custom entertainment centers?

Semi-custom units use modular shelving arranged to fit your wall. Full custom builds every component to your exact wall width and TV size.

How much do entertainment center built-ins cost?

Cost depends on wall width, storage features, and finish matching complexity. We give a written estimate after seeing the space.

How long does an entertainment center build take?

Most projects run 4-6 weeks from design approval to finished install.

Do entertainment center built-ins need a permit?

Typically this is cosmetic carpentry work that doesn't require a permit unless wiring is run inside the walls.

Can you build around a fireplace or existing architectural feature?

We design around fireplaces, windows, or other fixed features as part of the wall layout.

What cable management options do you offer?

We build in routing channels and grommets so cords run behind the unit instead of hanging visibly.
