Buster's Construction is a residential general contractor in Oklahoma City specializing in home additions, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and structural repairs. The company operates as a single-owner firm rather than a large multi-crew operation, which affects both project timelines and the level of direct owner involvement in each job.
Buster's Construction handles renovation work that requires a general contractor's license and coordination across multiple trades. Primary services include room additions, kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, deck construction, and foundation or structural repairs. The firm does not focus on new construction or commercial work. Buster's takes on projects ranging from $15,000 kitchen updates to six-figure additions, though the owner reports capacity constraints that limit how many simultaneous jobs run at any given time.
Kitchen remodels in Oklahoma City typically run $50,000 to $120,000 depending on cabinet selection, countertop material, and whether plumbing or electrical is relocated. Bathroom remodels range from $18,000 to $50,000 for a basic update to a mid-range renovation with new tile, fixtures, and layout changes. Room additions start around $120 per square foot and can exceed $180 per square foot if the addition includes high-end finishes or complex structural work. Deck construction costs $25 to $45 per square foot depending on material (pressure-treated lumber versus composite decking) and whether railings or built-in seating is included.
Buster's Construction requires a signed contract before work begins and typically requests a 50 percent deposit at the start of the project, with remaining balance due upon completion. Permits are the contractor's responsibility and are factored into quoted prices. Change orders are documented in writing and adjust the timeline and cost accordingly.
Oklahoma City has several tiers of residential general contractors. Large firms like Kitchens by Klrépublique and some home-building companies operate with multiple crews and can absorb several concurrent projects but often charge a premium for that scale and coordination overhead. Mid-sized contractors such as those affiliated with the Oklahoma City chapter of the Home Builders Association typically operate two to three crews and can start work faster if schedules align. Buster's Construction, as a single-owner operation, works fewer projects simultaneously but offers more direct communication with the decision-maker; the owner meets with homeowners regularly rather than assigning a project manager as intermediary.
The trade-off is meaningful: you pay less operational overhead but accept longer waits if your project is not the active priority. Buster's suits homeowners who prefer a straightforward relationship with the person signing the contract and are willing to work around the owner's schedule in exchange for that transparency.
Buster's Construction is a fit for homeowners undertaking a single, well-defined project (a kitchen, bathroom, or addition) who want direct access to the contractor making decisions. It works well for people able to be flexible on start dates and comfortable with a slower timeline if the owner is finishing another job. The company suits budget-conscious renovators because overhead is lower than larger firms.
Buster's does not suit homeowners who need multiple simultaneous projects coordinated or who require work to begin within weeks. It is also not the choice for anyone who prefers a large firm's documented systems and formal project management structure.
Homeowners typically call or email to describe the project, and the owner schedules a site visit. During the initial consultation, he walks through the space, takes measurements and photos, discusses the scope of work, and identifies any structural or code concerns that affect the estimate. If the homeowner wants to proceed, Buster's provides a written estimate that breaks down labor, materials, and permits. The owner does not charge for the initial estimate or site visit.
Buster's Construction operates from Oklahoma City proper and serves the metro area including Edmond, Norman, and surrounding suburbs. The company works standard business hours and takes most weekends off unless a project requires weekend finishing work by prior agreement. Since this is an owner-operated business, hours can shift seasonally or when projects run long; confirm availability before scheduling your initial visit.
Buster's Construction fills a specific niche in Oklahoma City's contractor market for homeowners who prioritize direct ownership involvement and transparent communication over the convenience of a larger firm's availability. The single-owner model means fewer surprises from unfamiliar crew members or miscommunication between office and site.
