What's actually involved
The crew removes the existing tub and surround, inspects the framing and subfloor for moisture damage (common in Heritage Hills Tudors, Mesta Park Craftsman bungalows, and other nearby areas), installs a new shower pan, builds the new shower walls (acrylic insert, semi-custom acrylic, or tile), reworks plumbing as needed, and sets glass or a curtain rod. Permits are typically pulled when plumbing is moved.
Greater Oklahoma City specifics worth flagging
Newer Edmond, Yukon, and other subdivisions are usually the cleanest, fastest scopes, framed alcoves with builder-grade tubs ready to swap. Heritage Hills, Mesta Park, and other homes, plus older Bethany, Warr Acres, and other stock more often have older walls, original supply lines, and prior partial remodels worth scoping carefully.
- Plaster or older drywall behind original tile (affects demo time)
- Subfloor moisture damage from prior tub leaks and Central Oklahoma humidity / storm-season moisture loads
- Vent fan replacement, undersized or attic-vented fans common in older intown and inner-ring stock
- Slab-on-grade vs. pier-and-beam plumbing access (most OKC-area homes are slab; drain relocations require cutting concrete)
- Historic-district review for Heritage Hills, Mesta Park, and other nearby areas
- Hard-water-friendly finish choices on OKC Utilities Department service
- Glass enclosure choice (frameless, semi-frameless, sliding)
