Edwardsville · Wyandotte County
Edwardsville · new builds and retrofits both.
IntegrateIT is a home automation, networking and AV integrator serving Edwardsville, Kansas, a short run northwest of the design center at 15108 Glenwood Ave, Overland Park — close enough for same-week site walks. The housing divides neatly and so does the method: retrofit cabling and wireless lighting in the older frame homes, pre-wire in newer builds, cabled coverage reaching a shop. Control4 Platinum Dealer, Crestron Elite Partner, Lutron Certified Dealer, CEDIA member, HTA Certified. Five-year workmanship warranty. (913) 804-7575.
Between the Kansas River and the interstate, Edwardsville is a small Wyandotte County city with a compact residential core, a substantial warehouse and distribution belt, and open ground rising away from the bottoms. The houses divide neatly into older frame homes that predate structured wiring and newer builds with conventional framing and unfinished lower levels. Lots are generally generous by first-ring standards, and several properties carry shops or detached garages. Our design center in Overland Park is a short run southeast, which makes Edwardsville close enough for same-week site walks and ordinary service calls.
Installing in Edwardsville
What is different about Edwardsville houses
Installing in Edwardsville is different because the retrofit and new-build halves need separate methods and often sit on the same street. Older frame houses have accessible attics and open basements, so cable travels at the ends of the house and lighting starts wireless where the switch boxes lack a neutral. Newer builds can be cabled properly at framing to every display, keypad, speaker and access-point location. We establish which case a house is before quoting, because the labor between the two is not comparable.
Unfinished lower levels are the most valuable square footage in this market. A framed basement is the least expensive place anyone will ever build a golf simulator or a theater, because ceiling height, swing clearance, power and cabling can all be settled while the walls are open. Swing clearance in particular is a measurement rather than a hope, and it is far cheaper to check before drywall. Even when the room is years off, wiring it during construction costs very little.
Larger lots and detached outbuildings change the network plan. A shop or a detached garage across a yard is not covered by a household router, and repeating the signal outdoors gives a weak result that gets worse in summer foliage. We bury conduit, place a wired access point and small switch at the far end, and keep cameras and smart devices on their own lane. The drive and the outbuilding doors are where the cameras earn their keep, aimed and lit deliberately.

Questions from Edwardsville homeowners
Can my basement take a golf simulator?
- It comes down to three numbers we take on the walk: ceiling height, room depth and side clearance for the swing. If the room works, we design the impact screen, short-throw projection, launch monitor placement and lighting around it. Building it while the basement is unfinished is far cheaper than retrofitting, because power, cable and structure can be planned into open framing.
How do I get network coverage out to a detached shop?
- Bury cable to it. Conduit from the house to the outbuilding, with a wired access point and small switch at the far end, gives a signal that works the same in July as in January. Repeating a household router across a yard produces a weak link that degrades further once the trees leaf out. Cameras and door control at the shop then run on the same system as the house.
My house is older with plaster walls. What is realistic?
- More than most owners expect, by a careful route. Attics and basements carry the cable at the ends of the house, closets handle vertical runs, and rooms we cannot reach cleanly get wireless Lutron lighting rather than an opened wall. We point out every proposed penetration on the walk. If a run is not realistic, we say so instead of trying it and patching afterward.
How quickly can you get to Edwardsville?
- Quickly. It is a short run from our Overland Park design center, so site walks are usually the same week and service visits are scheduled rather than routed into a trip. Our own crew does the work. Every system carries a five-year workmanship warranty, the manufacturer warranty on the equipment, and our support for as long as you own the system.
