Shekinah Renovations LLC · Oklahoma City, OK
Home Remodeling Contractor in Oklahoma City, OK
Shekinah Renovations is a general contractor and remodeler working across Oklahoma City and the surrounding metro. Owner Jimmy Garces Jr. runs every job personally, from a single bathroom to a full interior of drywall, mud, texture, paint and flooring. Concrete, tile, walk-in showers, roofing, fencing and carpentry are all in scope, inside and out. Estimates are free and we will come look at the work before quoting anything. Call or text (405) 532-3348 and tell us what you have in mind.
The Oklahoma City Housing Stock We Work On
Oklahoma City is really a dozen different housing markets stacked into one city, and the remodel changes completely depending on where the house sits. The 1910s and 1920s homes in Mesta Park, Heritage Hills, Crown Heights and Edgemere Park come with plaster walls, original wood trim, narrow doorways and bathrooms that were never designed for a modern shower. Work there is careful and slow: matching trim profiles, patching plaster so the repair disappears, tiling a shower in a footprint that cannot grow. Push north into Quail Creek, Lakehurst and the streets around the Nichols Hills area and you are into 1960s and 1970s ranch homes with sunken living rooms, popcorn ceilings, dated tile and original cast iron drains. Out toward Deer Creek the houses are newer, and the work is usually finish upgrades: tile backsplashes, flooring, custom woodwork, painted cabinetry, covered patios and outdoor concrete. We are set up for all three.
Concrete, Red Clay Soil, and Driveways That Crack
Central Oklahoma sits on expansive red clay that swells when it rains and shrinks hard in a dry August. That movement is the single biggest reason driveways, sidewalks, porches and patio slabs around Oklahoma City crack, settle and separate from the house. Patching a slab that is already broken into pieces rarely holds. In most cases the honest answer is a tear-out and a fresh pour with proper base preparation, correct thickness, and control joints cut where the slab actually wants to move. We pour driveways, approaches, sidewalks, porches, patios, steps and stepping stones, and we finish decorative patterns when a homeowner wants the patio to look like more than a gray rectangle. On slabs that are structurally fine but tired, we clean, fill the cracks and reseal so the surface stops taking on water before the next freeze.

Bathroom and Kitchen Remodeling Across the City
Bathrooms are the most requested job we get in Oklahoma City, and the most common version is a 1960s or 1970s hall bath that still has the original tub, a fiberglass surround and tile that has been grouted six times. We do full tear-outs down to the studs, repair whatever water damage shows up behind the wall, and rebuild with new tile, new valves and new fixtures. Walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions are a large share of that work, especially for homeowners who want to stay in the house and stop stepping over a tub wall. Kitchens run the same way: cabinetry and countertops, tile backsplash, flooring, lighting and the plumbing and electrical that comes with moving anything. If a wall is coming out, we talk that through before demolition, not after.
Drywall, Texture, Paint, and Storm Season Repair
Oklahoma City takes hail and straight-line wind every spring, and the calls that follow are usually the same short list: roof damage, a soaked ceiling, stained drywall, and paint that has to be redone once the leak is fixed. We repair the source first, then rebuild the finish so the patch is invisible. Matching Oklahoma texture is its own skill. Knockdown, orange peel and hand-troweled finishes all read differently once paint is on them, and a repair that is close but not right stands out from across the room. Jimmy does drywall, mud and texture himself and matches the existing wall rather than retexturing the whole house when it is not necessary. Interior and exterior painting, trim carpentry, flooring and roofing all run through the same crew, so one call covers the repair end to end.
Areas We Cover and How to Get a Free Estimate
We work throughout Oklahoma City proper and the whole surrounding metro, including Edmond, Moore, Norman, Yukon, Mustang, Midwest City, Del City, Bethany and Warr Acres. Shekinah Renovations is a service-area business, so there is no showroom to visit. We come to the house, look at the actual conditions, and give you a free estimate based on what is really there instead of a number guessed over the phone. Small jobs are welcome. A single room of drywall and paint, a leaking valve, a tile backsplash or a section of fence is worth the trip, and plenty of larger projects started as a small one. Call or text Jimmy at (405) 532-3348, describe the job, and we will set a time to come out.
What We See in Oklahoma City Homes
Oklahoma City covers a century of construction, from the plaster walls and original trim of Mesta Park and Heritage Hills to 1960s ranch homes in Quail Creek and new builds out toward Deer Creek. That range is why we work as one crew across concrete, tile, drywall and texture, plumbing, electrical, paint and roofing. Every estimate is free and given in person, because a 1920s bathroom and a 2015 bathroom are not the same job.

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
All of them. We work across Oklahoma City and the wider metro, from the historic districts like Mesta Park and Heritage Hills to Quail Creek, Deer Creek, Bricktown and the south side. We are a service-area business, so we come to your home rather than working out of a showroom.
Central Oklahoma sits on expansive red clay that swells when it rains and shrinks in a dry summer. That movement cracks and separates driveways, sidewalks and patio slabs. Once a slab has broken into pieces that move independently, patching is temporary. We usually recommend a tear-out and repour with proper base prep and control joints.
Yes. A single room of drywall and paint, a leaking valve, a tile backsplash or a section of fence is worth the trip, and so is a full kitchen or bathroom remodel. Call or text (405) 532-3348 and describe the job.
Yes. Jimmy comes out, looks at the actual conditions, explains what he would do and gives you a number. There is no charge for the visit and no obligation to hire us.
No. Estimates are free everywhere we work, including Oklahoma City. 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 Oklahoma City 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 Oklahoma City 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.
