Whenever you watch the Super Bowl, settle in for some intense gaming action or unwind with a cinematic masterpiece on-screen, do you feel like something’s missing? Whether you’re catching the big game with the buds or watching a family flick with the kiddos, you deserve to be in total comfort. If your living room isn’t quite cutting it, or you’re sick of having to go watch the Sens game on the iPad upstairs because the kids are dominating the main TV with Paw Patrol reruns (surely that’s not just us), a media room may be the cure for what ails you.

Just close your eyes and picture it: A big recliner chair, even bigger screen 4K OLED TV, a high-end Dolby Atmos 7.1 surround sound system, a beer in one hand and bowl of popcorn in the other… sure sounds like paradise, doesn’t it?

Well, let’s make it happen. To Do-Done’s handyman services can easily assist with turning that media room dream into a reality. Here’s how we can help!

Built-In Media Centre

You could pick up a TV stand or cabinet from IKEA, but doesn’t everybody else do that? Can you imagine having a custom-built media centre with a perfect place for everything, instead? Our experienced carpenters can design and build a beautiful, high-quality media unit with everything you need. Storage for books, Blu Rays, CDs, video games, Xbox and PS4 controllers, and more. You could even go total Godfather-style and deck it out with a classy bar storage system.  Built-in doors help reduce the appearance of clutter and keep the room looking clean and inviting.

Routing Wires

Dread facing a Medusa’s weave of nightmarish wire tangles? We don’t blame you. If your media room has surround sound, internet connectivity and cords for every video game console and streaming device invented this century, you don’t want a rat’s nest of wires holding back the look of the room. Let’s fix that; we can drill holes and route wires behind the walls for a clean, modern look with full functionality. And hey, if you want to install mounted lights or potted lights, we can help with that as well! We work with two electrician teams to tackle any electrical job required, so rest assured, this is being taken care of by seasoned professionals with years of experience. Nothing is left to chance.

4K TV

Mounted 4K TV or Projector

Mounting a TV on the wall provides a great contemporary look, plus it keeps grubby kids’ hands from leaving marks on the screen! With that said, have you seen those gorgeous OLED 4K panels on the market? Some can be as thin as a few millimetres, and we don’t blame your blood pressure from spiking over the thought of mounting that sucker. You can either reach out to our installation experts who have moved many a model of high-end TV, or you can have a projector mounted on the ceiling for the ultimate home theatre experience. It’s important that it’s done right, because the last thing you want is a heavy (and expensive) TV crashing down from the wall. Our handymen and handywomen would be happy to help, so don’t stress over getting this done properly!

New Furniture Setup

If you’re creating a slick new media room, you’ll probably want comfy new couches, end tables, or a new coffee table. You might even be ready to go all-out and splurge on the whole kit and kaboodle to finish off the room’s look. Our handymen can help carry in the new furniture and set it up, so no worries over navigating hallways with that scarily big yet oh-so-comfortable sectional sofa. Plus, should you need to get rid of a ratty old chesterfield or old coffee table marred by water rings, our team will be onsite to chuck it away responsibly!

With winter well and truly here, this is the perfect time to invest in a brand-new media room that you’ll be glad to enjoy many a memorable moment in. From marathon Super Smash Bros. sessions with the kids to making your eyeballs weep from the most incredible-quality 4K movies available and much more, the To Do-Done team is here to get it done, and properly! Learn more by contacting us today, and let’s get to making your home theatre space dreams come true.

And hey, pass the popcorn!
