Framing in a TV Nook/Niche In Raleigh

We recently had the opportunity to help a customer by framing in the TV Nook above their fireplace. The customer is on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh. With the advent of larger flat-panel TVs, the value of having a built in nook above the fireplace in many homes was basically negated. Homeowners are left with a useless hole above the fireplace too small for a TV, and to large/out of reach for any other practical use. That's where we came in! First, we framed in the area in a way that can easily hold the weight of a mounted flat panel TV: framed in tv Nook. The key is to frame in such a way as to be able to hold the weight of new heavy TVs with their mounting assembly. Next, we roughed in the sheetrock to match the surrounding area. roughed in drywall for TV nook The key here is to rough in the dryway precisely so that in the next step you can finish it without a noticeable ridge. Finally, we added the finishing touches to perfectly match the rest of the drywall: finished drywall above Fireplace. The finished product, like that glaring hole in the wall was never there! All that was left was to mount the TV, and turn on a classic Bruce Willis film! mounted tv on finished drywall with tv image of Bruce Willis. The only thing that looks better than Bruce Willis is the awesome drywall work. What are you waiting on? Contact us today to take care of that ugly 90s TV nook in your house!

A Good Reason to Stop Putting Off that Drywall Repair

A compelling reason to not put off that drywall job any longer: fire protection. Creative Commons Image Attribution A compelling reason to not put off that drywall job any longer: fire protection. Creative Commons Image Attribution Editor's note: we're taking a break from posts highlighting our work (more are on the way) and using this opportunity to educate you on some fun facts about drywall. Did you know that your drywall is helping to protect your home or business in the event of a fire? Drywall is often called "sheet rock," which should give you a clue about how it is made—it's actually sheets of rock. The specific rock used in drywall is gypsum, and it's a building material that has been used in various forms for thousands of years, dating all the way back (at least) to the Egyptian pyramids. Modern drywall is gypsum rock sandwiched between special sheets of paper. In addition to being easier to cart around and put on walls than actual slabs of rock, gypsum drywall holds crystalline water inside of it. So if a fire starts in your house, the water in the drywall evaporates (boils) once it reaches 220 degrees Fahrenheit. So during the time it takes to boil all of the water in the gypsum (and there can be as much as 2 quarts of water in 10 square feet of drywall), the wood behind the drywall is protected, and remains at just 220 degrees. That extra window of time for the fire department to get there and put out the fire could mean the difference between replacing drywall, and replacing the entire structure. So that hole in your drywall is not just ugly, it's adding a way for the flames of a fire to quickly spread to the structure of your building.
