Stellar Construction is a licensed general contractor specializing in residential remodels, additions, and whole-home renovations across the Oklahoma City metro area, with a portfolio focused on kitchens, bathrooms, and structural expansions for homeowners willing to manage mid-to-larger projects.
A full-service general contractor operating in Oklahoma City, Stellar handles the permitting, subcontractor coordination, and oversight that distinguish general contracting from specialty trades. The firm pulls its own building permits through Oklahoma City's Development Services center and manages inspections at framing, electrical, plumbing, and final stages. This matters because homeowners who hire only subcontractors directly often discover mid-project that unpermitted work creates problems at resale or with insurance claims. Stellar's model assumes clients want a single point of accountability rather than coordinating five separate vendors.
Stellar quotes projects on a time-and-materials basis with a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) after the estimate phase. Kitchen remodels in the Oklahoma City area typically run between $35,000 and $75,000 depending on cabinet selection, countertop material, and whether plumbing or electrical work moves; bathroom remodels range $12,000 to $30,000. Room additions and structural work cost $100 to $150 per square foot for framing, mechanical, and finish, though pricing varies sharply based on foundation type and roof pitch. The company charges a $500 design consultation fee applied to the final contract if the client moves forward. A verification note: material costs fluctuate; confirm current pricing directly.
Stellar provides a written scope of work, timeline, and lien waiver requirements before breaking ground. Payment is structured as draw requests tied to construction milestones (foundation, framing, rough-ins, drywall, final); they do not require payment in full upfront.
Stellar positions itself in the mid-market segment, distinct from both large production builders and solo handymen. Compared to national franchises like Renewal by Andersen or local high-volume firms, Stellar takes fewer concurrent projects, which typically means shorter wait times to start (four to six weeks vs. two to three months) and more direct access to the owner during construction. Against smaller contractors operating without full licensing or bonding, Stellar carries Oklahoma general contractor license (number available upon request) and liability insurance, a requirement that filters out operators who cut corners on permits or skip inspections. For homeowners choosing between Stellar and a licensed electrician or plumber handling the whole job, the difference is scope: those trades excel within their domain but lack authority to pull permits or manage cross-trade sequencing on complex jobs. Stellar's overhead is higher, making it less economical for isolated tasks like a single bathroom sink replacement, but appropriate for jobs that require coordination across multiple trades.
Stellar works best for homeowners committed to permitted, inspected work and willing to pay for project management. A kitchen or bathroom remodel, a second story, or a three-season room falls squarely in this wheelhouse. Homeowners with a fixed budget and tight deadline may find the time-and-materials model frustrating; Stellar does provide a GMP to cap cost growth, but unforeseen conditions (hidden rot, undersized electrical panel) can still extend timelines. The company is not the right fit for emergency repairs (burst pipes, roof leaks) or quick cosmetic updates; for those, call a licensed plumber or roofer directly.
An initial consultation includes a walk-through of the space, discussion of scope and timeline, and a review of any existing plans or inspiration photos the homeowner brings. Stellar takes measurements, notes structural conditions, and provides a preliminary estimate before the design consultation fee. If the client moves forward, Stellar works with the homeowner to finalize design details, material selections, and the written scope of work. This phase typically takes one to two weeks and is critical to avoiding scope creep later.
Stellar operates Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with job-site hours typically 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. to respect neighborhood noise ordinances. Consultations are scheduled by appointment and held at the homeowner's residence. Parking is site-dependent; crews park on-property or nearby street parking per local ordinance.
Stellar Construction earns its place in Oklahoma City's contractor landscape by combining permitting accountability with mid-market pricing and transparent communication, reducing the friction homeowners face when juggling multiple trades on significant home projects.
