Downtown homes
Prewar houses, 1950s ranches and new row homes: primary baths, walk-in showers and accessible remodels.
Bathroom remodeling Rose District, OK
Century-old brick on Main. Bathrooms built for now.
The Rose District's storefronts went up in brick from 1904, and the typical house on the streets around them is nearly thirty years older than the city's. We remodel both: primary baths and safer showers in downtown homes, and restrooms that meet the ADA for the restaurants, shops and offices on Main Street.

Customers on the record, the owner on the job
Two customers on video, three Google reviews copied without edits, and a word from the owner about how he works in older buildings.
I don’t think you could find anybody any better to work with than these people.The homeowners, in their video review
Jeremy started learning tile and showers at 16, and he still picks up the phone himself. In an older building he tells you which walls he would open, which he would leave alone, and why.

Bathroom renovation, Rose District
Old brick, older houses, new neighbors
Downtown Broken Arrow is a different place from the subdivisions around it. The storefronts are more than a century old, the houses beside them are older than most in the city, and new homes are filling the gaps. Below, the public record, and what each piece of it means once a bathroom or restroom is opened up.

- Brick begins replacing the frame stores on Main 124 South Main went up in brick between 1904 and 1907; 121 South Main followed in 1910, 201 South Main in 1918.

- of those homes were built before 1960 About 620 of 1,420 (a survey estimate with a wide margin), the 1950s the busiest decade. Citywide, fewer than 1 in 12.
What that means for a bathroom or a restroom
-
Restrooms fitted into century-old storefronts
The oldest brick on Main was standing before the town voted for its water line, so plumbing came to those buildings later and took whatever room was left. That is why a downtown restroom's door, toilet drain and grab bar wall are so often in the wrong place for the 2010 ADA Standards. We measure those three before we draw anything, and the guide on this page goes through each one.Source 1
-
A public restroom behind every counter
The district has more than 50 places to eat, shop and explore. A business open to the public must remove restroom barriers whenever that is readily achievable, remodel or no remodel: a grab bar, a lever handle, a lower mirror, insulation on the sink pipes. Those small fixes are where most Main Street restroom work starts, and each one gets its own line on our quote.Source 3
-
Houses older than the rest of the city
Around Main the typical house is from the mid-1960s, while about three in four Broken Arrow homes were built in 1980 or later. A house this age can still have galvanized supply lines, a cast iron drain or a floor that has sagged around the old tub. We open the wall, show you what is there, and you sign any change to the price before the work is done.Source 2
-
A revival with a plan behind it
The city adopted its downtown master plan in 2005, cut Main Street from four lanes to three for wider sidewalks, and added a downtown residential overlay to its zoning at the end of 2017. A four-story building with apartments over shops broke ground on the north end in 2018. Newer bathrooms like those rarely need tearing out; what they may need is a seat, grab bars or a step-free shower, in finishes that match.Source 4
-
Bathrooms stacked over someone else
New downtown homes stack people: apartments over storefronts, and two-story row homes such as the six that broke ground at East Elgin and East 1st in 2021, each with two and a half baths. A slow leak in an upstairs shower ends up in a neighbor's ceiling or on a shop's stock. Every shower we build sits on a waterproofing membrane that covers the whole wet floor, never just the pan.Source 5

Master bathroom remodel Rose District
Which kind of downtown home do you have?
The houses near Main were built a lifetime apart, and each age starts a remodel in a different place. Pick yours.
Built before 1940
A primary bath that suits the house's age
A bathroom this old may have been redone several times, each layer over the last. We take it back to the framing, bring the plumbing up to current code while it is open, and build a primary bath that belongs in the house, with a membrane behind every tile.
- Plumbing updated to code with the walls open
- Tile chosen for the house's era
- Floor framing checked under a heavy tub
1950s and 60s
Make one bathroom work, or add a second
The 1950s added more homes near Main than any other decade. With one hall bath, rebuild it for everyone who uses it, with a tub kept or a walk-in shower, or add a primary bath where the drain can reach. We keep a toilet working meanwhile.
- A tub or a shower, chosen by who lives there
- A second bath where the drain can reach
- Grab bar blocking while the wall is open
Built since 2010
Make it accessible and keep the look you paid for
A newer bathroom rarely needs gutting: a shower with a low threshold and a linear drain, grab bars in the faucets' finish, a taller toilet. In a loft over a shop or a neighbor, we help with the HOA or building approval first.
- A low-threshold shower on a linear drain
- Grab bars that match the faucets
- A membrane under the whole wet floor
ADA commercial restroom Rose District
One restroom, one owner: what the ADA asks of yours
For the owner or manager of a Main Street restaurant, shop or office with a single-user restroom: what the 2010 ADA Standards require of that room, in the order we check it, and when the law actually requires the work. A plain-language guide, not legal advice.
Start at the door, the wall you least want to move
In an older building, moving a restroom door can mean moving a wall the floor plan depends on, so we measure the door before anything else. Section 404 of the Standards sets the door itself; section 603 sets how it may swing. All our business restroom services.
- 32 inches clear (404.2.3)
- Measured with the door open 90 degrees, from the face of the door to the stop. A door sold as 32 inches gives less once its own thickness and the stop are counted, so we measure the opening, not the slab.
- Hardware a closed hand can work (404.2.7)
- A lever or a pull 34 to 48 inches off the floor, with no tight grip or twist; a round knob fails. An interior door must open with 5 pounds of force or less (404.2.9), which often means adjusting the closer.
- Which way it swings (603.2.3)
- The door may swing into the turning circle, not over the clear floor at the toilet or sink, unless the room is single-user and a 30 by 48 inch space stays clear past the swing. Rehanging it to swing out, where the hall allows, often fixes this without moving a fixture.
- Room beside the latch (404.2.4)
- On the pull side, a door approached head-on needs 18 inches of clear wall past the latch. A restroom door jammed into a corner fails this even when the room behind it is fine.
The toilet corner: 60 by 56 inches nothing else may enter
The toilet needs a wall behind it and a wall beside it for the grab bars, and a block of floor in front of it that no other fixture may sit in (604.3).
- Centerline 16 to 18 inches off the side wall (604.2)
- If the old drain sits at 14 or 20 inches, the flange has to move, which means opening the floor. That shows up on the quote as its own line, never as a surprise.
- 60 by 56 inches of clear floor (604.3.1)
- Sixty inches from the side wall, 56 from the back wall. In a business restroom the sink may not sit inside that block; only homes get that exception.
- A seat 17 to 19 inches high (604.4)
- Measured to the top of the seat, which takes a taller bowl than a standard one. The flush handle goes on the open side, away from the wall (604.6).
- Two grab bars that hold 250 pounds (604.5, 609)
- A side bar at least 42 inches long, starting no more than 12 inches from the back wall and reaching 54 inches out; a rear bar at least 36 inches, running 12 inches to one side of the toilet's centerline and 24 to the other; both 33 to 36 inches high. In an old wall that strength comes from blocking or a backing plate we add, never from plaster or tile.
- Paper within reach (604.7)
- The dispenser 7 to 9 inches in front of the bowl, its outlet 15 to 48 inches off the floor, and never tucked behind a grab bar.
Sink, mirror and sign: details customers notice
Smaller items, but each one has a number in the Standards, and each costs little to get right while the walls are open.
- A rim no higher than 34 inches (606.3)
- With knee room underneath: 27 inches high and 30 inches wide (306.3). A vanity cabinet blocks that, so a business restroom gets a wall-hung sink or an open counter.
- Pipes covered (606.5)
- The drain and supply lines under the sink are insulated or boxed in, so a seated person's knees never touch a hot pipe or a sharp edge.
- Mirror starting at 40 inches or lower (603.3)
- Over the sink, the glass begins no higher than 40 inches off the floor. A mirror elsewhere in the room starts no higher than 35.
- A sign beside the latch (703.4, 216.8)
- Raised letters and Braille, 48 to 60 inches up, on the wall at the latch side. If your other restrooms do not comply, the one that does carries the wheelchair symbol and the others point to it.
When the law reaches your restroom, and when it does not
Remodeling the restroom means everything you change must comply. Remodeling a different room can pull the restroom in too, which surprises most owners. How we handle ADA restroom compliance.
- No remodel planned (28 CFR 36.304)
- A business open to the public must remove barriers where that is readily achievable, meaning easy and not costly. The rule's own examples include grab bars, a raised toilet seat, insulated sink pipes and a moved towel dispenser.
- Only the restroom is remodeled (36.402)
- Every element you alter must meet the 2010 Standards. Elements you leave untouched that met the 1991 Standards can stay as they are (the safe harbor in 36.304(d)(2)).
- The dining room or sales floor is remodeled (36.403)
- Restrooms are not a primary function area, but the rooms where you serve customers or do your work are. Alter one, and the path of travel to it, including the restrooms that serve it, must be made accessible, up to 20% of what the main alteration costs. A $50,000 dining room job can carry up to $10,000 of that work. City and county buildings follow the same rule under 28 CFR 35.151(b)(4).
- Where that 20% goes first (36.403(g))
- An accessible entrance, then the route to the altered area, then at least one accessible restroom for each sex or a single unisex one. In many small Main Street buildings, that single-user room is the realistic answer.
- Tax help for small businesses
- A business with 30 or fewer employees or $1 million or less in revenue may claim the Disabled Access Credit: half of eligible costs between $250 and $10,250, up to $5,000 a year (IRS Form 8826). Ask your accountant; we itemize the barrier removal so they can.

No Rose District job is written up yet. These documented jobs in Glenpool and Tulsa show how we work: what each job covered, what we found once it was open, and the rounded price from its signed quote.
-
A safe shower for a U.S. military veteran
The Tinker Federal Credit Union Foundation asked us to build an accessible shower for a Korean War veteran in Glenpool, within a nonprofit budget. The corner jacuzzi tub came out, and a curbless roll-in shower with grab bars went in its place.
-
A soaking tub inside the shower
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.

The garden tub became the shower
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.

Rose District questions, home and business
What does a bathroom remodel cost in the Rose District?
Taking a bathroom to the studs and rebuilding it typically costs $10,000 to $25,000; the smallest jobs we take start around $2,500 to $5,000. In a house built before 1960 the number moves with what is under the floor and behind the walls, so your quote lists those items on their own lines. For scale, a freestanding tub wet room we built in south Tulsa came to about $8,000 to $9,000. Business restrooms are priced after we measure.
Do you remodel upscale downtown Broken Arrow homes and lofts?
Yes. In a prewar house we choose tile and trim that suit its age; in a newer row home or loft we work to the finishes already there. Where a building has an HOA or a manager, we help get the approval before any work starts.
Do you offer financing for a Rose District bathroom remodel?
We do not finance remodels ourselves. To spread the cost, go to a local lender: Tulsa Teachers Credit Union, Arvest and Regent Bank all lend for remodels. Our itemized written quote is what they will ask to see.
Do you build accessible bathrooms for seniors in the Rose District?
Yes. Many houses near Main were built long before anyone planned a bathroom around a walker or a wheelchair, so the plan starts with the door width and the room to turn, then the shower: a low threshold or no curb, a seat, a hand shower on a slide bar, and blocking in the walls so grab bars hold. Wheelchair accessibility.
Can you add a low-threshold shower in a Rose District home?
Usually, yes. How depends on the floor: on a concrete slab we cut the shower area lower so the floor can fall to the drain, and on a wood-framed floor the framing under the shower is lowered or the rest of the floor is built up. We look at the slab or under the house on the first visit and tell you which applies before we price it.
Will an accessible remodel keep my home's modern look?
It should. A linear drain and large tile read as design, not as equipment. Grab bars can match the faucet finish, and a fold-down seat folds out of sight. A guest would not know the room was planned for the years ahead.
Can you bring a Main Street restaurant or shop restroom up to ADA standards?
Yes. We measure the door, the toilet corner, the sink and the sign against the 2010 ADA Standards, then give you an itemized list that separates quick fixes from work that moves a fixture or a wall. If a remodel of your dining room or sales floor is coming, tell us early, because by law it can bring the restroom into the job. ADA restroom compliance.
Will a restroom job close our shop on Main Street?
Not the shop. Restroom work takes 2 days to about a week on site, and we set the days with you before we start. If it is your only restroom, we agree on the closed days together so you can plan for staff and customers.
