Frequently Asked Questions

Bathtub refinishing restores the surface of your existing tub without demolition, while replacement involves removing and installing a new unit. Refinishing costs less, takes 1–2 days instead of weeks, and works well for worn or stained tubs. At Alpha General Remodeling, we often pair refinishing with bathroom remodels for budget-conscious upgrades.

Most kitchen remodels take 2–4 weeks depending on the scope, layout changes, and material selections. Full reconfigurations with plumbing or electrical work take longer than cosmetic updates like cabinets and countertops. At Alpha General Remodeling, we provide clear timelines and upfront scope discussions before starting any project.

These materials prevent long-term water damage and maintain appearance over time. Alpha General Remodeling prioritizes durable, low-maintenance products designed for both daily use and resale value.

Spring and fall offer the most consistent weather for exterior painting in Oklahoma, with mild temps and lower humidity. Avoid summer heat above 90°F and winter temps below 50°F, which affect paint adhesion and drying.

Layout changes, plumbing relocation, tile work, and fixture quality are the biggest cost drivers in bathroom remodels.
