Kitchen Remodeling
We take kitchens down to the studs when the room needs it and rebuild them on a new layout. One contractor handles every trade on the job, plumbing and electrical included.

Census estimates date the median Norman home to 1988, and nearly two in five went up before 1980. In a house that age, the kitchen may still have its first layout. The hall bath may have a tub you step over and a doorway too narrow for a walker. Near the campus, some homes are about a century old and sit inside historic districts.

With 128,026 people at the 2020 Census, Norman is Oklahoma's third most populous city. It is the Cleveland County seat, on Interstate 35 about 20 miles south of Oklahoma City. Census estimates count about 56,700 homes here, and about three in five are detached single-family houses.
The 2000s added more of today's homes than any other decade, about one in six. The 1970s and 1980s together account for about a third. More than one home in ten went up before 1960. Some of the oldest stand in three historic districts near downtown and the campus.
Each era brings its own remodeling work. A kitchen from the 1970s is often closed off from the living room. Opening a wall can make it bigger, and an engineer sizes the beam when that wall is load bearing. In a house from the 2000s, a remodel may be more about new finishes and storage.
Norman adopted a Historic District Ordinance in 1993 and has designated three historic districts. Chautauqua and Miller are mostly homes from the 1920s, and bungalows are the main style in Miller. Southridge was platted in 1922, and its main styles are Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival.
Exterior changes that alter a house's look in these districts need a Certificate of Appropriateness before work begins. That includes replacing doors and windows. The Historic District Commission reviews the requests, and city staff can approve some smaller items.
The city's preservation page says interior work needs no certificate. Interior changes to doors or windows that alter the outside look are the exception. The building permit process still applies. Our work is mostly interior, such as bathroom remodeling or a kitchen taken down to the studs.
Building permits come from the Development Services Division, part of the city's Planning and Community Development Department. The division reviews plans and issues permits. Its inspectors check the work in the field. A permitted job ends with a Certificate of Occupancy or a Certificate of Completion.
The city's record of its building codes goes back to 1902. In June 2023 the city moved to the 2018 International Residential Code and the 2020 National Electrical Code. Both carry state and local amendments. Permit applications and inspection requests go through the city's online portal.
For most alterations, the city's inspection guide sets the order. The rough-in inspections for the trades come before the frame inspection. Walls are insulated and inspected before drywall goes up, and the finals close out the job. Development Services can tell you which steps your project needs.
About one Norman resident in seven is 65 or older, by Census estimates. The city encourages new homes that work for aging in place. In August 2025, the City Council made its Visitability Program permanent, after a pilot that began in 2021. The program gives builders a credit on the building permit fee for qualifying new homes.
The program uses the ICC A117.1-2009 standard for visitable homes. Doorways need at least 31 3/4 inches of clear opening. A bathroom on the entry level gets blocking in the wall for future grab bars at the toilet. Light switches and outlets sit 15 to 48 inches above the floor.
The credit covers new homes only, but a remodel can bring many of those features to an older house. Our accessibility remodeling widens doorways and sets grab bars into blocking. We can also replace a tub you step over with a low-threshold shower or a walk-in tub. Planning these changes before they turn urgent gives you more choices.
