START WITH WHAT MATTERS

Make your remodel work for you.

Our family has been part of Tulsa for years, across two generations. These planning tips connect the everyday needs of a home with the possibilities you can explore in our completed projects.

01 · KITCHEN REMODELING

Start with the everyday frustrations.

Before choosing cabinets or tile, write down what gets in the way: a crowded prep area, hard-to-reach storage, or a bathroom that is awkward to use. Bring photos and a short must-have list to your first conversation.

02 · WHOLE-HOME REMODELING

Keep the character. Plan the changes.

In an older Tulsa home, make a keep-and-change list before demolition. Original trim, doors, or flooring may help guide the design. Ask your contractor to assess the existing conditions before committing to layout changes or moving plumbing.

03 · BATHROOM REMODELING

Choose for the way you will live.

Think through cleaning, storage, lighting, and how easily you can move through the room. Compare material samples in your own home at different times of day. Discuss future needs early, including easier-to-reach storage and a shower layout that is comfortable to use.

BEFORE YOU REQUEST A PROPOSAL

Get the scope clear first.

Share your priorities, a comfortable spending range, and any timing constraints. Ask what the estimate includes, how design decisions affect cost, how changes will be approved, and how to plan for conditions discovered during construction.

Separate must-haves from nice-to-haves before comparing estimates.
Ask which selections need to be finalized before work begins.
If you will stay at home, discuss access, dust protection, and time without a working kitchen or bathroom.
Confirm what completion means: installation, cleanup, inspections where needed, and when the space can be used.

SMALL PROJECT. REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS.

Can it be done in one day?

Some focused updates can fit into a day of work. A complete transformation may involve preparation, repairs, drying time, and multiple visits. Learn which quick updates are practical and which promises deserve a closer look.

AROUND OUR COMMUNITY

Places and traditions to explore when you step away from the project.

KIMBER HOMES RECOMMENDS

RIVERFRONT · PARKS & PLAY

Gathering Place

A day by the Arkansas River can be as simple as a walk, a playground stop, and time together. Gathering Place brings gardens, play spaces, and places to pause into one shared Tulsa destination.

ART · GARDENS · ARCHITECTURE

Philbrook Museum of Art

Philbrook brings art, gardens, and a historic villa together. Look at the way the building frames a view, how the garden paths connect, and how materials and light make each space feel different.

DOWNTOWN · LANDMARK BUILDINGS

Tulsa’s Art Deco landmarks

Tulsa’s architecture rewards a slower look. Boston Avenue United Methodist Church, completed in 1929, is a striking place to begin; downtown’s Philcade and Philtower offer more opportunities to notice the city’s distinctive design.

SPRING · ANNUAL ARTS FESTIVAL

Tulsa International Mayfest

Art, music, and a reason to explore the city together. Mayfest began in 1973 and continues Tulsa’s tradition of bringing artists and the community together each spring.

FALL · MUSIC & COMMUNITY

Tulsa Oktoberfest

German music, food, and festival tents give Tulsa Oktoberfest its own place in the city’s fall calendar. It’s another way to experience the people and traditions that make Tulsa feel like home.
