TV Wall Units in Lehigh Acres, FL
A TV on a bare wall with cables running down it is not a living room. Contrera Cabinets builds TV wall units that turn that wall into storage, display and a finished focal point.

A wall unit that fits the TV and the room
Wall units are a natural fit for a cabinet maker, because they combine cabinetry and design in a single wall. A good one hides the cables, houses the equipment, holds what you want to show and gives the room somewhere for the eye to land.
Unlike a store-bought entertainment center, a built-in wall unit is made for the wall it sits on. It runs floor to ceiling if you want, wraps a window or sits at a specific height for your seating, and it leaves no awkward gaps at the sides.
Open-plan living rooms in Lehigh Acres often have high ceilings and one long wall that does not know what it wants to be. A wall unit gives that wall a purpose and quietly adds storage the house did not have.
When a TV wall unit is a good idea
If any of these sound familiar, the wall is asking for a built-in.
Cables and boxes are everywhere
A wall unit hides power cords, HDMI runs and equipment instead of leaving them on view.
You are short on storage
Media, games, books and décor that have no home end up on every flat surface.
The wall is bare and awkward
A long wall with one TV in the middle often looks unfinished.
You want to hang the TV safely
A unit built with the mount in mind puts the TV on solid support instead of on drywall alone.
The room is changing
A new TV, new furniture or a new floor plan is a good time to rethink the focal wall.
You want it to match the house
A unit finished to match your trim and cabinets looks like part of the house, not an add-on.
How we build a TV wall unit
Because the unit is part of the wall, the preparation matters as much as the building.
- Decide what the wall needs to hold We list the TV size, the equipment, the storage and the display pieces you want, then check outlets, vents and windows on the wall.
- Check the wall behind the surface We find out what the wall is made of and where it can safely carry weight, so the mount and the cabinets are anchored properly.
- Draw the unit The layout is drawn to scale, showing the TV, shelves, doors and drawers, so you can approve the proportions.
- Build and finish in the shop Cabinets and shelves are made and finished away from your home to keep the mess out of your living room.
- Install and run the cables The unit is fitted to the wall, the mount is set, and the cables and power are routed through the planned openings.
- Test and adjust We check the doors, ventilation and cable access and make sure everything works with your equipment.
What a TV wall unit costs depends on
Wall units range from a simple floating cabinet to a floor-to-ceiling feature wall, and these factors explain the difference.
Width and height
A full-wall built-in uses much more material and shop time than a single credenza under the TV.
Open versus closed storage
Doors and drawers cost more than open shelving, but they hide clutter.
Materials and finish
Painted and stained finishes, veneers and solid wood all price differently.
Lighting and electrical
Adding LED lighting or relocating outlets involves electrical work that has to be done properly.
Wall conditions
Uneven walls and concealed structure add time to fitting and anchoring.
Special features
A fireplace insert, speaker openings or a concealed projector screen add design and fabrication work.
Why Contrera Cabinets for TV wall units
Mariano builds wall units for homeowners who want more than a TV stand. He plans the unit as part of the room and treats the details, such as cable routing and ventilation, as part of the design.
It is the kind of project where a cabinet maker's eye shows: tight reveals, even gaps and a finish that looks right at the distance you sit.
- Built for your equipment. We plan for the actual TV and components.
- Solid mounting. The wall is checked before the TV goes up.
- Clean finish. Reveals and gaps are even from every angle.
- Matches your house. Finish and trim can follow what you already have.

Questions people ask us
How do you hide the cables and the cable box?
Cable routes and access are planned in the unit: pass-through holes behind the TV and the equipment shelf, a vented compartment for the box or console and a way to reach the back without taking the unit apart. We confirm where your outlets are first, since that decides how clean the cable run can be.
Can the unit handle a bigger TV in the future?
It can if we plan for it. We size the opening and the mounting area for a TV larger than the one you have today, so an upgrade does not mean rebuilding the wall.
Will my equipment overheat inside a built-in?
Not if the unit is designed to breathe. Receivers, consoles and streaming boxes need airflow, so compartments get ventilation openings and, where needed, space for a small fan. Tell us what equipment you have so we can plan it.
How is the TV mounted on a block wall?
It depends on what is behind the surface. In many block homes the walls are furred out or covered with drywall, and the mount has to be anchored into solid blocking, wood furring or masonry rather than into drywall alone. We check the wall first and choose the anchoring that carries the weight safely.
Can you include shelves, doors or lighting?
Yes. Open shelves, doors that hide clutter, drawers for media and LED lighting can all be part of a wall unit. The design depends on how you want to use the wall, and we draw it so you can see the proportions before it is built.
