McGrath project nears completion

Pictured is the TV niche above the fireplace and the speaker locations for our latest McGrath project. We will install a roll-out service rack with all of the equipment in the hall closet pictured to the right.

Before and After

Pictured are the before and after photos of a project we completed with Jonathan McGrath Construction. The cabinet pictured shares a wall with the staircase and is only 6 or so inches deep at the top, but 24 inches deep in the space under the stairs.

Storch coordinated with McGrath to make sure the electronics and speakers would fit in the deeper part of the cabinet (under the stairs) with the upper cabinets and TV section in the areas that had less depth. This provided a good look for the millwork with minimum intrusion into the room.

In addition to the TV and surround sound system in this room, we installed speakers on the summer kitchen pictured in the right of the photo and at the dock beyond.

Storch begins McGrath Project

Storch just began work on our tenth home remodel project with Jonathan McGrath Construction. We're happy to be a long standing team member.

This project is a complete remodel of a lakefront home in Longwood. Jack tore the interior down to the studs and is moving walls and adding a master suite.

Storch will provide an entertainment system with a family room surround sound system, outdoor music, and all of the phone, cable and data networking.

Marketing Makeover

In today's tough economy, marketing has become more important than ever. To assist with that effort, Storch Entertainment Systems recently installed a few unique solutions for Jonathan McGrath Construction, including:

1. A multimedia presentation system in the conference room (pictured)

This allows Jack to present his portfolio to clients as either a simple slide show or PowerPoint presentation

Internet access with a wireless keyboard and mouse provide direct access to the web or other files

2. A phone system with digital voice mail to ensure no lost calls

3. An information on hold system that can easily be updated to provide current information to any caller

Typical digital on-hold systems can be expensive and complicated

We designed the system to use an iPod as the playback device using free Podcasting software

4. A building-wide music system to enhance the feel of the office

Music can be a key element in setting the atmosphere and mood
