Shekinah Renovations LLC · Service
Kitchen Remodeling in Bethany, Oklahoma
The kitchens in Bethany's mid-century ranches were built for a different way of living: closed off from the living room, a single window over the sink, and just enough counter to set down the groceries. Shekinah Renovations opens these kitchens up and rebuilds them properly, handling the wall changes, plumbing and electrical moves, cabinets, counters, tile and paint as one project with one contractor. Estimates are free. Call or text (405) 532-3348.

Opening Up a Closed Mid-Century Kitchen
The single most requested change in Bethany kitchens is removing the wall between the kitchen and the living or dining room. In homes of this age that wall is often load-bearing, which does not mean it cannot come out; it means the load has to go somewhere, usually into a properly sized beam with real support at both ends. We open a small inspection hole and confirm what the wall is carrying before the design is final, so the estimate reflects reality instead of a surprise halfway through demolition. Done right, the same square footage reads as a dramatically larger room.
What Usually Hides Behind 1960s Kitchen Walls
A kitchen remodel is the one chance to fix what the house has been living with for decades. Galvanized supply lines that have narrowed with rust, drains vented in ways that would never pass today, and circuits that were never meant to run a modern kitchen's appliances all show up regularly in Bethany homes. Replacing them while the walls are open costs a fraction of what it costs later, so we scope the kitchen's plumbing and electrical honestly during the estimate instead of pretending the new cabinets will not be hiding sixty-year-old problems.

Bethany kitchens are usually compact, and compact kitchens punish sloppy layout. We plan storage to the inch: cabinets to the ceiling instead of a dust shelf, drawers instead of blind base cabinets where they earn their keep, and counter runs placed where you actually work. A tile backsplash and under-cabinet lighting do more for a small kitchen than any single expensive upgrade. Where the budget is tighter, new cabinet installation on the existing footprint still transforms the room without moving a single pipe.
How the Project Runs
Call or text (405) 532-3348 and Jimmy comes out, measures the kitchen, checks what is behind the surfaces where possible, and talks through options at different price points. You get a written scope and estimate for free. During the work, the path through your house is protected, the mess is contained, and the kitchen is brought back online in a planned sequence so the family is not eating takeout for two months. The job ends with a punch walk where anything that bothers you gets fixed before we call it done.
Serving Bethany From Nearby Jobs
We are in and around Bethany often, with work running across the northwest metro from Warr Acres to Yukon. If the kitchen is part of a bigger plan, we also handle whole-home remodeling in Bethany and home additions, so the kitchen can be phase one of something larger instead of a one-off. Send photos through the estimate form and we will tell you honestly what the project involves.
Kitchens are a layout problem before they are a finish problem
A kitchen touches cabinets, counters, tile, flooring, lighting, and the trades behind the walls. Most of what goes wrong is sequencing and layout, decided long before anything looks like a kitchen.
Cabinets set level and shimmed to the wall
Walls and floors are never truly straight. Cabinets get shimmed and fastened to a level line so doors hang even and the countertop has a flat, continuous surface to land on.
Backsplash laid out to the room
Where the pattern starts decides whether you end up with a sliver of tile in the most visible corner. Layout gets set from the focal point out, not from whichever wall we happen to start at.
Clearances checked against the appliances you bought
Ranges, dishwashers, and refrigerators all have real openings and swing clearances. Those get verified against your actual appliances before cabinets are set, not after.
Licensed trades brought in where the scope requires it
Moving gas, water, or circuits is licensed work in Oklahoma. When a kitchen needs it, the right trade partner handles that portion and it is coordinated as part of the schedule instead of becoming your problem.

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. We come out, look at the work, and give you a written price at no charge. You are not signed up for anything by asking.
We do not publish flat prices because no two jobs are the same. Square footage, materials, access, and what we find behind the walls all change the number. Call or text (405) 532-3348 and we will come out and price your actual job.
Small repairs can often be fit in within a few days. Larger remodels start once the estimate is approved and materials are in. Call or text and we will give you a real date rather than a guess.
Yes. Jimmy Garces Jr. is on the job, not just at the sales call. That is also why we can handle several trades on one project instead of handing you off between companies.
The Oklahoma City metro plus about an hour's drive in any direction: Oklahoma City, Edmond, Moore, Norman, Yukon, Mustang, Midwest City, Del City, Bethany, Warr Acres and the smaller towns around them. If you are past that ring, call or text anyway. A job can still be worth the drive.
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.
