Open-concept living rooms common in newer Schertz builds often leave a big blank wall behind the TV with nowhere to put a freestanding entertainment center that actually fits the scale of the room. Schertz Custom Cabinets builds media walls fitted to the actual wall width and ceiling height, with cable routing built in so you're not staring at a tangle of cords.
We build everything from a simple cabinet run flanking a wall-mounted TV to a full floor-to-ceiling media wall with display shelving and hidden storage.

Entertainment Center Built-Ins FAQs
How much does a built-in entertainment center cost in Schertz?
Most projects run $2,500 to $20,000 depending on whether it's a simple cabinet run or a full floor-to-ceiling media wall.
Can you hide all the cables from my TV and components?
We build cable management panels into the cabinetry so cords route behind the unit instead of along the wall.
How long does a media wall build take?
A single cabinet run takes about 2-3 weeks; a full custom media wall runs 4-6 weeks from design approval to install.
Will the unit support a mounted TV?
We build solid wood framing rated for the TV mount weight and anchor it to wall studs during install.
Can you match the built-in to my existing trim or cabinets?
We can match wood species, paint color, or stain to existing trim and cabinetry in the room.
What if I upgrade components later?
We design shelving with enough clearance and adjustability to accommodate most future AV upgrades without rebuilding the unit.
