Integration at Work, AV designs and installs lighting control, motorized shades, whole-home audio and home theater across Broken Arrow and the rest of the Tulsa metro.
Broken Arrow is a new city wearing an old name. Almost none of the housing here is historic — under 1% of homes predate 1940 — and a third of everything standing went up after 2000. The population went from about 11,000 in 1970 to nearly 125,000 today, which means Broken Arrow's homes sort cleanly into three wiring situations, and each one calls for a different install.
The 1970s and 80s neighborhoods that filled in after the Broken Arrow Expressway opened were built before anyone ran structured wiring. There is no Cat6, no distribution panel, often no conduit at all. Then there is the enormous post-2000 wave — Battle Creek, Southern Trails, Forest Ridge — where homes came pre-wired, which in practice means RG6 coax and Cat5e installed for how people watched TV in 2005.
And the vast majority of Broken Arrow homes sit on a slab, with no basement. Every low-voltage run in this city goes up into the attic and drops down through the wall, which makes attic access and framing the two things that actually determine what a project costs here.
Broken Arrow's 1990s and 2000s builds have the two-story entries, open great rooms and long hallways that end up with fifteen switches nobody can keep straight. In homes on slab we route through the attic, which usually means no drywall repair on the upper floor and a lot less mess than people expect.
Lighting Control in Broken ArrowBonus rooms over the garage are standard in Broken Arrow's post-2000 subdivisions, and they make excellent theaters — with two caveats. Shared walls with bedrooms mean isolation matters, and we do not put amplifiers or network gear in an Oklahoma attic. It gets well past 130 degrees up there in August.
Home Theater in Broken ArrowThis is the call we take most in Broken Arrow. The home is wired, the wiring is Cat5e, and it is marginal for what the homeowner wants to do with 4K video. We assess what is already in the walls, reuse what still works, and pull new Cat6 where it is needed rather than rewiring a whole house on principle.
Home Networking & WiFi in Broken ArrowBroken Arrow's newer builds are full of west-facing great room glass, and by four o'clock in July that room is unusable. Motorized shades on a schedule fix it before anyone notices.
Motorized Shades in Broken ArrowBroken Arrow's newer subdivisions produce the metro's best simulator candidates — three-car garages with 9 to 10 foot ceilings, and vaulted bonus rooms in some Forest Ridge and Battle Creek builds.

Read itIntegration at Work, AV works in both. Most Broken Arrow homes built in the 1970s and 80s have no structured wiring at all, and most of them sit on slab — so runs go through the attic and down inside the walls. It takes longer than a pre-wire, but it is routine work and it rarely requires the kind of demolition homeowners are bracing for.
Usually yes, and it is the most common surprise in Broken Arrow. Homes built between 2000 and about 2015 were typically pre-wired with RG6 coax and Cat5e — fine for cable TV and a basic network, but marginal for 4K video distribution. Integration at Work, AV assesses what is in your walls first and reuses whatever still holds up.
Yes, and it is the least expensive way to do it. Integration at Work, AV coordinates with builders across Forest Ridge, Ironwood, East Village and other Broken Arrow communities to place wiring, keypad boxes, speaker locations and equipment before drywall goes up.
It depends on scope. A television mounted flush with concealed wiring and a sound system to match is usually a one-day job in the hundreds to low thousands. Motorized shades for a room, or lighting control for the main living areas, generally lands between $5,000 and $20,000. Whole-home lighting, shading and automation on a larger build typically runs $25,000 to $100,000+. Integration at Work, AV gives you a firm, itemized number before any work begins.
Yes. Integration at Work, AV is based in South Tulsa, and the people who design your system are the people who service it. Many issues can be diagnosed remotely before anybody drives out, which is the practical difference between a local integrator and a national installer.
