Commercial bathroom remodel in Tulsa

Built for the way a public restroom is used

A restroom in an office, a restaurant or a school gets more use in a week than most home bathrooms see in a year. It gets mopped with strong chemicals, kicked, leaned on and now and then vandalized. Finishes that look fine in a showroom crack, stain and come apart under that.

Our proudest job was the restrooms at the Tulsa Job Corps Center, a federally funded job training center: stalls, showers, toilets and drywall taken down to the studs and rebuilt to federal guidelines. It taught us to choose materials by how they fail, with tile picked to resist cracking and scratching under heavy daily use, not by how they look on day one.

That is how we approach every commercial restroom. One crew handles the demolition, the waterproofing in wet areas, the tile, the fixtures and the partitions, so nothing falls between trades. The ADA and any permit questions go on the table before the quote, not halfway through the job.

How we can help with commercial restrooms

Three kinds of buildings we work in, and what we do in each. Pick yours, and the estimate starts there.

Offices and shops

A full restroom rebuild, planned around your building

We take the restroom to the studs, replace tired drain lines and framing where needed, waterproof the wet areas, tile, then set the fixtures, accessories and partitions. The ADA and permit questions go on the table before the quote. Where the building has two restrooms, keeping one open while we work on the other is possible, and that is your call.

Commercial restroom renovation Tulsa

What is in every restroom we rebuild

Commercial restroom with marble-look vessel sinks, brass-framed mirrors, and dark gray tile
  1. Demolition to the studs

    Old tile, fixtures and partitions out, so damaged framing and tired drain lines are found and dealt with before anything new goes in.

  2. Waterproofing in every wet area

    Showers, locker rooms and the floor around fixtures get cement or foam board and a waterproofing membrane, the same standard as our home bathrooms.

  3. Hard, cleanable finishes

    Tile and grout chosen to stand up to mop water, cleaning chemicals and scuffs, with a hard, nonabsorbent base where the floor meets the wall.

  4. Partitions chosen for the room

    Powder-coated steel, laminate, solid plastic or phenolic, matched to how wet the room gets and how hard it is used.

  5. Fixtures and accessories

    Toilets, urinals, sinks, faucets, hand dryers, dispensers and grab bars, with every bar anchored to solid backing.

  6. Accessibility on the table

    When a remodel touches the restroom, the ADA applies to what is altered. We raise it before the quote, not after.

Restroom remodel for Tulsa businesses

Signs your restroom needs more than a repair

  • Partitions are rusting at the base, peeling, or no longer close.
  • Grout stays dark after cleaning, and the room smells even when it is clean.
  • Tile is cracked or loose around the toilets and urinals.
  • Fixtures run, leak, or flush far more water than new ones.
  • Staff or customers who use a wheelchair cannot use the restroom.
  • You are remodeling another part of the building, and the restroom serves it.

How to plan a commercial restroom that holds up

Three decisions decide how a commercial restroom holds up and what it costs to run: the partitions, the fixtures, and what the remodel triggers with the ADA and the city.

Five toilet partition materials compared by relative cost and warranty, from powder-coated steel to stainless steel
Relative cost (steel = 100) and warranty, from one manufacturer's 2019 figures.

Partitions, by how they fail

Every partition catalog lists the same materials. The useful question is which one survives your room: a dry office restroom, a busy school, or a locker room beside the showers. Restroom stalls goes deeper on choosing and mounting them.

Powder-coated steel
The lowest cost and fine in a dry, lightly used office restroom. It dents, and its maker rates it low for wet areas, so next to showers or under a hose it is the wrong choice.
Plastic laminate
A little more than steel, with more colors and patterns. It belongs in dry rooms; if it goes near water, ask for the moisture-resistant version.
Solid plastic (HDPE)
About twice the cost of steel, and unaffected by water, steam and humidity. It does not rust or delaminate and graffiti cleans off, which makes it a strong pick for schools and gyms.
Phenolic
Similar in cost to solid plastic or a little more. Its maker says it holds up to showers, pools and saunas, to being hosed down, and to vandalism, which is why it is common in locker rooms.

Bar chart comparing water per flush for old toilets, the federal limit and high-efficiency toilets, and for urinals at 1.0 and 0.5 gallons
Gallons per flush: older fixtures, today's federal limit, and efficient models.

Fixtures that save water, and the old pipe problem

New fixtures use a fraction of the water of old ones. In an older building, the drain lines behind them deserve a look first.

Toilets
Federal law caps toilets at 1.6 gallons per flush, and high-efficiency models use 1.28 or less. Older commercial toilets can use 3 to 7 gallons.
Urinals
The federal limit is 1.0 gallon per flush, and WaterSense models use 0.5 or less. The EPA estimates that replacing one old 1.5-gallon urinal can save more than 4,600 gallons a year.
Faucets
Public restroom faucets are limited to 0.5 gallons per minute. Sensor faucets cut waste further and keep hands off the handles.
Old drain lines
Low-flow fixtures send less water down the pipe to carry waste. The EPA advises checking old drain lines for sagging or defects before fitting them in a retrofit.

What a remodel triggers

Two rule books can meet in a commercial restroom: the ADA and, where a permit is needed, the city's plan review. Both are easier when they are on the table before the quote.

The restroom you remodel
An altered restroom has to be made accessible to the maximum extent feasible. Remodeling is an alteration, so the ADA comes with the job. ADA restroom compliance covers it element by element.
The 20 percent rule
Remodel a main area of the business, like a dining room or sales floor, and the restrooms serving it become part of the path of travel. They must be made accessible unless that costs more than 20 percent of the project, and jobs within three years are counted together.
Plan review and permits
Whether a restroom job needs a permit depends on the work and where the building is. In Tulsa, work that does goes through the city's plan review, often with building, zoning and water and sewer reviews, and before and after drawings for an alteration. We talk it through with you before the quote.
Tax help
Small businesses can claim a federal credit of up to $5,000 a year for removing barriers, and any business can deduct up to $15,000. Ask your accountant before counting on either.

Commercial restroom questions, Tulsa

What building owners ask first

How long does a commercial restroom remodel take?

Usually 2 days to a week of work on site. Before that comes the city's plan review where a permit is needed, and the lead time on partitions and fixtures. We schedule the on-site part around your building's calendar.

Can the building stay open while you work?

Often, yes. Where a building has more than one restroom, keeping one open while we work on the other is possible, and it is your call. Where it has only one, we look at the quietest days on your calendar with you. We settle it at the walk-through, before the quote.

Which toilet partition material should we choose?

It depends on the room. Powder-coated steel costs least and suits a dry office. Solid plastic and phenolic cost about twice as much and stand up to water, steam and vandalism, which is why schools and locker rooms use them. Laminate sits in between, for dry rooms.

Does remodeling our restroom mean it has to meet the ADA?

The parts you alter have to be made accessible as far as is feasible. Separately, remodeling a main area of the business can pull its restrooms in as part of the path of travel. Our ADA restroom guide explains both.

Do you need a permit for a commercial restroom remodel in Tulsa?

It depends on the work and where the building is. Inside Tulsa, work that needs a permit goes through the city's plan review, with drawings of the room before and after the work. We talk through what your job needs at the walk-through.

Have you worked on public or federally funded buildings?

Yes. We overhauled the restrooms at the Tulsa Job Corps Center, a federally funded training center, to federal guidelines, and we hold SAM registration for federal work.

Will low-flow fixtures cause problems in an old building?

They can if the drain lines are in poor shape, because less water carries waste down the pipe. The EPA recommends checking old lines for sagging or defects first, and we look before we recommend them.

Is there a warranty on commercial work?

A written 1-year warranty on our workmanship, plus the manufacturer warranties on the fixtures and partitions we install.
