Alva is a town of older houses. Census estimates put the median year built for Alva homes at 1955. About a third went up in 1939 or earlier, compared with about 7 percent statewide. In houses that age, a remodel often starts with a cramped kitchen or a tub you have to step over.

Close to 9 in 10 Alva housing units are detached houses, by Census estimates. More than half were built before 1960, and the 1960s added about a fifth more. Only about 3 percent went up in 2010 or later. Alva counted 7,440 people in 1970 and about 5,000 in 2020.
For a remodeling contractor in Alva, the age of the house shapes the plan. Kitchens in houses from the 1930s through the 1960s tend to be small and closed off. When a wall opens in a house that age, the plumbing and wiring behind it often need updates too.
A full kitchen remodel can go down to the studs and open an interior wall to make the room bigger. If that wall is load bearing, an engineer looks at it first. Bathroom remodeling in these homes often adds storage and swaps the old tub for a new tub or shower.
Alva was laid out before the Cherokee Outlet opened to settlers in 1893. The school now called Northwestern Oklahoma State University held its first classes here in 1897. Its main campus sits on Oklahoma Boulevard, where US 64 runs through town. The school also has campuses in Enid and Woodward.
With students in town, Alva's median age is about 28, compared with 37 for the state. Census figures show about half of Alva's occupied homes are rented, against about a third statewide. Between tenants, a rental may need new flooring, fresh paint, new fixtures or a kitchen refresh.
We handle rental turnovers for landlords, plus commercial remodeling for businesses downtown or along Oklahoma Boulevard. That covers tenant improvements and ADA doorway widening for small commercial spaces. Repairs and facilities maintenance for business properties are part of that work too.
In Alva, permit forms go to City Hall. The city's permits page lists a Building Permit and an Electrical, Plumbing or Mechanical Permit. The page for the city's Fire Marshal and Code Official carries those forms, plus the demolition permit application.
Whether a remodel needs a permit depends on the work, so ask before it starts. Moving plumbing or rewiring a room is the kind of change to ask about. The Code Official can answer that question for your project, and we point you there.
Walls in older houses can hide worn pipe or old wiring. If we find it, we show you and talk through the change before the work goes on.
About one in six Alva residents is 65 or older, by Census estimates. Older houses were built with narrow doors and tall tub walls. Both get harder to manage with a walker or a wheelchair.
Accessibility remodeling can widen a doorway or add grab bars set into blocking in the wall. A step-over tub can come out for a low-threshold shower or a walk-in tub. We plan these changes with you before they turn urgent.
