Home bathrooms
Tub to shower conversions, tiled walk-in showers, new tubs and full remodels, for houses in town and out on acreage.
One tub to keep, one to make a walk-in shower
Most Inola families live on a few acres outside town, and plenty have small kids, a parent getting older, or both under one roof. We drive out from Tulsa to remodel bathrooms and business restrooms here, and we help you settle which tub stays and which one becomes a shower you can walk into.
Josh was very prompt and easy to work with!
See a customer's remodel on video, meet the owner you will talk to, and read three Google reviews exactly as they were written.
I donโt think you could find anybody any better to work with than these people.The homeowners, in their video review
Jeremy started at 16 under a Tulsa home builder and still answers the phone himself. Ask him whether your tub should come out and you get a straight answer, including when the answer is to leave it where it is.

At home, we plan the bathroom around everyone who bathes in it, from a toddler to a grandparent. For an Inola shop, church, office or public building, the restrooms get ADA-minded planning and a schedule that works around your hours.

Stalls, toilets, sinks, counters, floors and tile, with clearances planned for ADA and the work phased around your hours, one restroom left open if you want it.
Inola is a small town on the far side of the Verdigris River from Tulsa, and most people with an Inola address live on land outside it. Here is what the public record says about those houses and the families in them, and what it means for the tubs and showers inside.
The Inola area, by the numbers
What that means for the tubs in your house
The Oklahoma Historical Society counts 294 people in Inola in 1950 and 1,550 in 1980, the years it became a town people commuted to Tulsa from. The Census puts the median house inside the town limits at 1975, with about 4 in 10 built in the 1960s and 70s. A house from then may have one full bathroom, so its tub is the only one, and taking it out is a bigger decision than it looks.Source 1
Across the wider Inola area the median home was built in 1986, and about a third went up in 2000 or later. Newer country houses are more likely to have two full bathrooms, and then the choice is easy: turn the tub nobody fills into a shower and keep the other one.Source 2
With about a third of households raising children and a third with someone 65 or older, the tub question cuts both ways here. One family needs a tub to bathe a two-year-old. The next needs to stop stepping over one. When the grandkids come to stay, it can be the same house on the same weekend.
The town says farming and ranching are common on the acreage around it. If your day ends with hay, cattle or a garden, the bathroom nearest the back door takes the mud, and sometimes the dog. A walk-in shower there, with a low curb, a floor that grips and a hand shower on a long hose, earns its keep in a way a tub in that spot never will.Source 3
A family with one full bath may need a tub for the kids and an easy shower for a parent at the same time. Sometimes the fix is a second bathroom, and on a few acres there is usually room to build one; we build those too. And if the one bathroom you have is the one being remodeled, the family keeps a working toilet the whole time.
Our position: keep one tub in the house for as long as someone in it needs one, and convert the rest. Here is how to tell which tub that is, which bathroom to change, and what you give up when a tub goes.
Count the people, and the dog, before you measure anything.
Usually the one used every day by whoever finds the tub wall hard.
The build itself is laid out on our tub to shower conversion page. These are the trade-offs for your decision.
Prices are rounded from the signed quotes on our own jobs.
| Your house | Our advice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Two tubs, and nobody bathes in one | Convert that one | The house still has a tub for children, guests and a buyer |
| One tub, and young children at home | Keep it for now | Add a hand shower, a new surround and blocking for grab bars instead |
| One tub, and someone cannot step in safely | Convert it | Getting in and out safely every day matters more than a buyer someday |
| One tub, and a sale in the next few years | Usually keep it | Many buyers look for a tub, so a fresh tub and surround is often the better spend |
| Someone soaks, and someone needs an easy shower | Keep a tub inside the shower | A wet room, about $8,000 to $9,000 on our south Tulsa job, tub bought separately |
| A big jetted tub nobody fills | Convert it | Our east Tulsa garden tub job, with the vanities redone too, came to about $22,000 to $23,000 |
We have no finished Inola job on the site yet. These nearby ones show both answers: a garden tub turned into a tiled shower in east Tulsa, a soaking tub kept inside a wet room in south Tulsa, and a tub and shower combo made into a walk-in in Bixby. Each card names its own town.
An east Tulsa master bath with a jacuzzi garden tub, a separate older shower and an oak double vanity. We built a full tiled shower where the tub was, then updated the rest of the room around it, and the guest bath vanity too.
South Tulsa homeowners wanted a freestanding soaking tub without giving up the shower. We took out the old tub and shower floor and built a wet room: the tub and the shower share one tiled, waterproofed space with a pebble floor.
A fiberglass tub and shower combo with a curtain, in a Bixby home. We turned it into a tiled walk-in shower with marble-look walls, a pebble mosaic floor, corner shelves and a hand shower on a slide bar.
A full remodel usually runs $10,000 to $25,000, and the smallest job we take is $2,500 to $5,000. For a sense of where yours might land: a curbless walk-in shower in Bixby came to about $7,000 to $7,500, and an east Tulsa master bath where the garden tub became a tiled shower and the vanities were rebuilt came to about $22,000 to $23,000. Yours is priced after we see the room, in an itemized written quote.
A full bathroom remodel takes us about a week, up to two with detailed tile, and a conversion on its own is usually less. A tiled conversion takes more than a day, since the shower floor's waterproofing has to cure before tile goes on. If speed matters most, we also install one-day shower kits and wall panel systems. Work usually starts 1 to 2 weeks after you approve the quote, and the quote lists your days on site.
Yes, in town and out on the land, from a single tub swap to a second bathroom built onto a house that has only one. The estimate is free wherever the house sits.
As long as someone in the house needs one, yes: a baby or toddler, a person who soaks, or a sale coming up. If there are two tubs and nobody bathes in one, convert it. If the only tub has become hard to step into, safety today comes first, and we will tell you what that may mean for resale.
Yes. Grab bars go on wood blocking we add inside the wall, positioned for the person who will hold them, along with a hand shower on a slide bar, a seat, and a shower entry with a low curb or none. Wheelchair accessible bathrooms covers the bigger version.
Possibly, if a VA doctor prescribes the change for a medical reason. The VA's HISA benefit has a lifetime limit of $6,800 for a service-connected condition or a disability rated 50% or more, and $2,000 for other enrolled veterans. We do not trim materials or labor to fit that limit; anything beyond what the VA approved is billed to you and gone over line by line. How we work with the VA.
Yes. For shops, churches, offices and public buildings we plan clearances, grab bars, fixtures and signs to the 2010 ADA Standards, and we are a registered federal vendor (SAM). Most commercial restrooms take 2 days to a week, and where there are two, one can stay open during the work; that is your call. ADA restroom compliance.
Tell us what is going on with your bathroom. Someone picks up between 8 AM and 8 PM, and after hours our answering service takes the message.

Work usually starts 1 to 2 weeks after you approve. Cement board and a waterproofing membrane go in every wet area, never sheetrock or green board. A full remodel runs about a week, up to two for intricate tile.
