About the service
I build stepped riser platforms that turn a flat room into a proper home theater with a clear sightline from every seat, not just the front row. The work starts with an on-site measurement visit: screen height and lower edge position, projector throw angle, ceiling clearance, and the eye height of each planned seat row get logged and run through a sightline calculation before a single board is cut. That step is what separates a riser that actually works from one where the back row stares at the front row's headrests.
Framing is built as an independent structural deck on joists and blocking sized to the platform span, not stacked plywood boxes that flex underfoot. Rise per tier is held consistent across the room, stair nosing at the front edge is rounded and lit if requested, and the deck is engineered to carry reclining seats, subwoofers, and foot traffic without a single squeak — every joint is glued and screwed, not just nailed. Conduit sleeves and low-voltage raceways get routed inside the frame during the build so speaker wire, HDMI runs, and seat power land at each riser tier with no surface cable ever visible.
Finish work includes riser-grade carpet wrapped tight over the nosing and nap-matched to the room carpet so the seam disappears, or a trim-wrapped MDF face for a painted or stained look that matches existing baseboard and door casing in the room. I carry samples of common acoustic and cinema-grade carpet so the color and pile height can be checked against the actual room lighting before ordering.
Typical turnaround for a three-tier platform is one to two weeks depending on room size and finish choice, and every job includes a written structural spec (joist size, span, rise per tier) plus photos of the framing before the deck skin goes on, so the client has a permanent record of what is under the carpet. I work from architectural drawings, a projector spec sheet, or just a tape measure and a photo of the empty room — whatever the client already has.
