General contractor in Norman, OK

Homes in Norman's Chautauqua Historic District and Original Townsite often have original hardwood floors, plaster walls, and built-in details that are worth keeping. We plan kitchen remodels in these homes around what is worth preserving and what needs to be replaced, so the finished kitchen functions well without erasing the character that makes the home worth owning. Jim Vincent reviews every historic home project personally before any work begins.

Hall Park homes from the 1950s and 1960s typically have small bathrooms with original tile, single vanities, and tub-shower combinations that are ready for full replacement. The most common improvements are expanding the shower, adding a double vanity, and replacing original tile with a more durable and visually updated material. The brick construction of these homes is solid, so the remodel focuses on the interior rather than structural changes.

We work on home additions for properties in the Lake Thunderbird area and in Southeast Norman, where larger lots give homeowners room to expand. Common additions include primary suites, expanded living areas, and additional bathrooms. Properties near the lake sometimes have terrain and drainage considerations that affect where an addition can be placed, and we evaluate those site conditions before scoping the work.

Norman's expansive clay soil causes slabs to move slightly with seasonal moisture changes, and that movement can crack tile grout and cause floor tile to become uneven over time. Before installing new tile in a bathroom remodel, we check the subfloor and slab for level and stability. Installing tile on a moving or uneven surface is one of the most common reasons bathroom remodels fail within a few years, and we address that condition before any tile goes down.
