Shekinah Renovations serves Bethany with full home improvement work: bathrooms and walk-in showers, kitchens, tile, flooring, drywall, mud and texture, interior and exterior painting, concrete, fencing, roofing and carpentry. Bethany's mid century homes reward careful work, and we do it with one crew from demolition through final paint. Owner Jimmy Garces Jr. gives free estimates in person. Call or text (405) 532-3348.
Bethany's Mid Century Housing Stock
Bethany is a small city surrounded by Oklahoma City, and its housing is largely from the 1940s through the 1960s: solid single story homes on established lots with mature trees, built around Southern Nazarene University and the old Route 66 alignment along NW 39th Expressway. These houses have good bones and dated everything else. Original bathrooms with tiled tub surrounds, kitchens with shallow cabinets and laminate counters, hardwood hiding under carpet, plaster or early drywall with hand applied texture, and wiring that has been extended over the years. Remodeling here is mostly about bringing the finishes and the systems up to date without stripping the character out of a well built house. We open walls expecting to find older construction and we plan the work around that.
Kitchens, Bathrooms, and Tile
Kitchen remodeling in Bethany usually starts with cabinetry and counters that have reached the end, and grows from there into flooring, lighting, a tile backsplash and the plumbing and electrical that comes with any real change to the layout. Bathrooms follow the same pattern. Most of the original baths in these homes have one tub, aging tile and a small vanity, and the most requested project is a tub-to-shower conversion or a full tile walk-in shower with a niche and a bench. We do the demolition, repair the framing and subfloor where water has gotten in, waterproof, tile, set the fixtures, and finish the drywall, texture and paint. The room comes back complete rather than needing another trade to close it out.

Interior and Exterior Painting
Painting is a large part of our Bethany work, inside and out. Interiors in these homes often have layers of old paint over hand applied texture, and getting a clean result means proper preparation: repairing the drywall or plaster first, matching the texture where it has been damaged, caulking and sanding trim, priming stains so they do not bleed through, and then painting walls, ceilings, trim and doors cleanly. On the exterior, wood siding, soffit, fascia and trim need scraping, repair and priming before topcoat, and skipping that step is why so many exterior paint jobs fail within a few Oklahoma summers. We repair the rotted trim and carpentry first rather than painting over it and calling it done.
Concrete, Roofing, and Storm Season
Bethany driveways, sidewalks and porches are typically original, thin by current standards, and sitting on expansive clay that moves through every wet and dry cycle. When a slab has cracked through and the panels no longer meet, we tear out and repour with correct base prep, thickness and control joints. We also pour patios and steps, form stepping stones, and seal concrete that is still structurally sound so it stops taking on water. Hail is the other seasonal reality. We handle roof repair and replacement, gutters, soffit and fascia, and the interior side of a leak, which means removing wet drywall, hanging and finishing new board, matching the texture and repainting so nothing about the repair stands out.

What We See in Bethany Homes
Bethany is a small city surrounded by Oklahoma City, built out mostly between the 1940s and 1960s around Southern Nazarene University and the old Route 66 alignment. The houses have good bones and dated finishes, so most of our work here is updating kitchens, baths, flooring and paint without stripping the character out of a well built home. Free estimates in person.

Services Available in Bethany
The part you cannot see is the part that fails
Nearly every complaint we hear about a previous contractor is about something underneath: prep that got skipped, waterproofing that was never there, a texture nobody matched. Those are the parts that decide whether work is still good in ten years.
Prep gets the time it needs
Base compaction under concrete, subfloor repair under flooring, surface prep under paint, waterproofing behind tile. It is the invisible half of every trade and the half that decides how long the visible half lasts.
One person is accountable start to finish
Jimmy does the walkthrough, writes the estimate, and is on site while the work happens. Nothing gets lost between a salesperson, a scheduler, and a crew who never spoke to you.
Surprises reach you before they become line items
Rotted subfloor, a hidden leak, wiring that is not to code. When we find something, work stops and you get a call with what it is and what it costs before we touch it.
The site is clean when we leave
Debris hauled off, floors swept, the room put back. The job is finished when you cannot tell we were there except for the work.
Letting someone you found online into your house
It is a fair thing to be careful about, and we would rather answer it straight than talk around it. Shekinah Renovations is a newer company name. Jimmy is not new to the trade. He started at fourteen, learned it from his stepdad, and has been doing this work ever since.
- Every photo and video on this site is Jimmy's own work around the OKC metro. None of it is stock.
- We will put you in touch with people we have done work for. Ask on the walkthrough.
- Oklahoma does not issue a general contractor or remodeler license, so for most of what we do there is no state license to hold. Where a trade is licensed, we say so and bring in the right partner.
- The estimate is free and written down. You know the number, and the scope, before anything starts.
- The person who quotes your job is the person who shows up to do it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, and the preparation is most of the job. Inside, we repair the drywall or plaster and match the texture before priming and painting walls, ceilings, trim and doors. Outside, we scrape, repair rotted trim and prime before topcoat, which is why so many exterior paint jobs fail without it.
Yes. A lot of Bethany kitchens improve dramatically with new flooring, a tile backsplash, better lighting, updated or refinished cabinetry and paint. If a wall needs to come out to open the space, we talk that through before anything is demolished.
Yes, we cover all of Bethany including downtown Bethany, the Southern Nazarene University area, the Lake Overholser area and the NW 39th Expressway and Council Road corridors. Free estimates: (405) 532-3348.
No. Estimates are free everywhere we work, including Bethany. Jimmy comes out, looks at the job, measures what needs measuring, and gives you a written price. There is no fee and no obligation to hire us afterward.
It depends entirely on the size of the space, the materials you pick, and what we find once we open things up. That is why we look at the job in person before quoting. Call or text (405) 532-3348 and we will come out to Bethany and put a real number in front of you.
Both. We do full kitchen and bathroom remodels, and we also patch drywall, fix a leaking valve, hang a TV, pour a small pad, tear out one wall, or repaint one room. If it is on the list of things we do, the job is not too small to call or text about.
That depends on what is already on the schedule and how big the job is. Small repairs often happen within a few days. Larger remodels get scheduled once the estimate is approved and materials are ordered. Call or text and we will tell you honestly where we are.
Yes, anything and everything. Inside: demolition, drywall, texture, paint, flooring, tile, bathrooms, kitchens, trim, and carpentry. Outside: concrete, roofing, fencing, landscaping, and window installation. Most Bethany jobs end up being a mix of both, and one crew handles the whole thing.
Fair question, and it is the one we would ask too. Shekinah Renovations is a newer company, but Jimmy is not new to the trade. He started at fourteen, learned it from his stepdad, and has been doing this work ever since. Every photo and video on this site is his own work around the metro, not stock, and we are glad to put you in touch with people we have worked for. He is also the one who shows up for the estimate and the one on site while the work happens.
Oklahoma does not issue a general contractor or remodeler license, so for most of what we do there is no state license to hold. For the trades the Construction Industries Board does license, Jimmy has applications in progress and we will tell you that plainly rather than imply otherwise. Where a job requires a licensed plumber, electrician, or registered roofer, we bring in the right trade partner for that portion. Ask about your specific job and you will get a straight answer.
Usually the same day. Call or text (405) 532-3348 and it reaches Jimmy directly. If he is on a job site with his hands full he will get back to you as soon as he is off it. Most people call two or three contractors and hire whoever actually answers, so we try to be that one.
