Media wall and home theater space by Covenant Renovation in Birmingham, Alabama

Media & Living

Media Walls & Entertainment Spaces

Turn a basement, bonus room, spare room, or underused space into a place your family actually wants to spend time.

What we build

Media walls, theaters & room conversions

Underused rooms become the most lived-in rooms. We handle the framing, finishes, built-ins, lighting, and layout so the space feels intentional from day one.

Media Walls

Custom built-in media walls with shelving, storage and display niches that hide equipment and wiring and give the room a finished look.

Home Theaters

A dedicated room built around the screen — comfortable seating, controlled lighting, and the layout and finishes that make movie nights feel like an event.

Media Rooms

A flexible space for movies, sports, and streaming, with seating arranged for the screen, storage for gear, and lighting that adapts to the activity.

Room Conversions

Turn a basement, bonus room, spare bedroom, garage or other underused space into a finished living or entertainment room.

Game Rooms

Rooms laid out for pool, arcade games, board games, or a bar area — designed so people can move, play, and hang out together.

Family Entertainment Rooms

A comfortable, multi-purpose room where the family can watch movies, play games, and relax together.

Living Space Remodeling

Opening up, refinishing or reworking existing living areas so they fit how your household actually uses the house.

Lifestyle-first design

Turn an Unused Room Into Your Favorite Room

Most homes have a space that collects boxes: a basement that stays unfinished, a bonus room too hot in summer, a spare bedroom no one uses. We turn that space into the room everyone gravitates toward.

The goal isn't just a nicer room — it's a better evening. Movie nights that feel like an event. A place for kids and friends to land on the weekend. A room where you actually want to spend a rainy Saturday.

  • Designed around how your family relaxes and gathers
  • Screen, seating, lighting, and storage planned together
  • Built-ins and finishes that hide clutter and showcase the room
  • Sound and comfort considered so the space feels finished

What goes into the space

Designed for the experience

We coordinate the elements that make an entertainment room feel right — without claiming specialized AV engineering services we don't provide.

Screen & projector setups

We frame, wire, and finish the room to support a large TV or projector and screen, with placement and sightlines planned for comfortable viewing.

Seating

Layout designed around how many people you seat, how they enter and exit, and where the best view of the screen is.

Lighting

Recessed lighting, sconces, accent lighting, and dimmable controls that set the right mood and keep the screen from washing out.

Built-ins

Custom media walls, shelving, and cabinetry that house equipment, hide wires, and give the room a clean, finished appearance.

Sound considerations

Insulation, wall treatments, and rough-in planning to improve sound quality and keep the rest of the house from hearing every explosion.

Gaming areas

Space for consoles, arcade cabinets, board game tables, or a dedicated PC setup, with power and layout planned in.

How it works

From unused to unforgettable

A simple process that keeps the project focused on how you'll use the room.

01

Tell Us How You Want to Use the Space

Movies? Games? Sports? Family hangouts? We start with how you want to live in the room, not just what construction it needs.

02

Plan the Layout

We design the seating, screen placement, lighting, built-ins, storage, and any electrical or AV rough-in around your priorities.

03

Transform the Room

Framing, insulation, electrical, drywall, flooring, built-ins, and finishes — handled as one coordinated project.

04

Enjoy the Space

We walk through the finished room with you, make sure everything is ready, and hand it over for the first movie night.

Why Covenant Renovation

Built for family time

We don't just finish rooms — we design them around the moments that happen inside them. That's the difference between a renovated space and a room your family actually wants to use.

  • Planned for the room you have

    Sightlines, seating and screen size worked out for your actual space before anything is built.

  • Attention to detail

    From outlet placement to trim alignment, the small things are what make a room feel finished.

  • Quality workmanship

    Solid framing, clean drywall, level flooring, and built-ins that look built in — not added on.

  • Clear communication

    You'll know the schedule, what's next, and who to reach when you have questions.

  • Respect for your home

    We protect the rest of the house, keep the work area clean, and leave the site ready to use.

Can you build a custom media wall?
Yes. Media walls are one of the most requested projects in this category — built-in cabinetry, shelving, display niches and concealed wiring, framed and finished to look original to the room.
Do you handle room conversions?
Yes. Basements, bonus rooms, spare bedrooms and other underused spaces can be converted into finished living or entertainment rooms. We handle framing, insulation, electrical coordination, flooring and finishes.
Do you build dedicated home theaters?
Yes. We frame, finish, and detail rooms designed around a large screen or projector, with seating, lighting, and sound considerations built into the plan.
Can you set up a projector and large screen?
We rough-in and finish the room to support a projector and screen or a large TV, including wall reinforcement, wiring, and placement for the best viewing angle.
Do you handle electrical and lighting?
Yes. We coordinate electrical work for outlets, lighting, dimmers, and AV rough-in so the room is ready for your equipment and use.
Can you help with sound?
We can improve sound through insulation, wall treatments, and rough-in planning. For advanced acoustic engineering or specialized audio calibration, we coordinate with AV specialists.
How much does a media wall or entertainment room cost?
