At JackStone Inc., we take pride in combining aesthetics, function, and precision in every detail. Our recent decorative wall installation with built-in lighting and USB outlets showcases exactly how modern upgrades can elevate everyday living – even in occupied, residential spaces.
Project scope – Step-by-Step
This project involved a full transformation of a bedroom accent wall with integrated electrical work, custom millwork, and precision painting.
Here’s what we delivered:
- Protected all work areas with drop cloths and full plastic masking for spray painting.
- Opened the wall to install new electrical wiring for two USB outlets and two directional sconces.
- Added switch boxes conveniently accessible from bedside.
- Built vertical and horizontal furring strips to support the wall design.
- Closed cavities with drywall, joint compound, sanding, and spot priming.
- Laser-measured and marked the entire wall layout.
- Installed trim and battens per layout, sealed all seams with acrylic caulk.
- Painted the wall using professional techniques suited to the finish selected.
- Mounted lighting, tested electrical connections, and finalized all cleanup.
Challenges in custom installations
Even in small-scale renovations, precision is everything:
- Wall openings required care to avoid damage to existing finishes.
- Uneven surfaces meant layout alignment had to be laser-checked.
- Spray painting indoors required full masking and air control.
- Studs didn’t align with the trim layout – custom blocking was necessary.
- Hidden piping or electrical lines required wall scanning before driving nails.
- Seasonal humidity can cause wood to shrink or crack if not accounted for.
✔️ Our Solutions
- Used laser levels and angle squares to guarantee symmetry.
- Applied both adhesive and nails for secure trim installation.
- Divided work into clean, safe phases for occupied-room execution.
- Educated the client on humidity control for long-term durability.
Why It Matters
This kind of custom wall work isn’t just visual – it brings lasting comfort and smart functionality. USB access, reading lights, smooth finishes – all tailored to our client’s needs.
