Integration at Work, AV designs and installs lighting control, motorized shades, whole-home audio and home theater across Sand Springs and the rest of the Tulsa metro.
Sand Springs was a planned town from the start. Charles Page bought the land in 1908 for his children's home, laid out the townsite in 1911, and the older blocks around downtown and McKinley Avenue still carry bungalows from the 1920s. Those homes have the same plaster-and-lath challenge you find in Midtown Tulsa, on a smaller scale.
But the more interesting thing about Sand Springs is topography. This is one of the hillier parts of the metro. Newer developments like Spring Lake Mountain Estates, Shadow Creek, Teal Ridge and Walnut Ridge sit on wooded, sloped lots — some with skyline views back toward downtown Tulsa. Hillside construction means split levels, walk-out lower levels, and homes where the equipment room and the main living space can be two floors apart.
Sand Springs reaches into Osage and Creek counties and out toward Keystone Lake, where lots get larger, wooded and further apart.
Much of Sand Springs sits in hilly, wooded country, and hillside homes come with walk-out lower levels, split floor plans and long vertical runs. We plan the rack location and cable paths around that geometry rather than fighting it.
Home Automation in Sand SpringsThe original Sand Springs housing near McKinley and downtown has plaster walls and the wiring of its era. Retrofitting lighting control and audio into these homes takes route planning and patience. It is regular work — it just is not the same as a new build.
Lighting Control in Sand SpringsTrees and distance are the enemy of wireless. Larger wooded lots in Sand Springs and out toward Keystone need access points placed deliberately and hardwired, especially where there is a detached garage or shop.
Home Networking & WiFi in Sand SpringsHillside lots with a view of the Tulsa skyline are the reason people buy in Sand Springs. Landscape lighting that shows off the terrain, deck and patio audio, and weather-rated displays built for Oklahoma sun, hail and wind.
Outdoor Audio & Lighting in Sand SpringsA walk-out lower level is the best theater space in Oklahoma residential construction — better isolation than any bonus room and no attic-heat problem for the equipment.
Home Theater in Sand SpringsSand Springs has hillside homes with walk-out lower levels. Where the headroom is there, that is the best simulator space in Oklahoma residential construction: no attic heat, natural sound isolation, full light control.
Golf simulator design and installationA walk-out lower level makes the better home theater, and almost nobody in Oklahoma has one. So for most people in the Tulsa metro the real question…

Read itYes. The original Sand Springs neighborhoods include bungalows dating to the 1920s, with plaster and lath walls that make cable runs slower than they would be in drywall. Integration at Work, AV plans routes around existing chases, closets and attic access, and flags any spot needing a repair before work starts rather than during it.
It usually helps, and Integration at Work, AV plans for it early. A walk-out lower level makes an excellent equipment location and an even better home theater — better sound isolation than a bonus room, and it keeps the equipment out of the attic, where Oklahoma summer temperatures shorten the life of electronics.
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.
