Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does interior paint last in Oklahoma homes?

    Interior paint typically lasts 5 to 10 years depending on traffic, humidity, and wall preparation. High-quality paints and proper surface prep extend durability significantly. At Kurb to Kitchen, we use professional application methods designed to hold up well in Oklahoma's seasonal humidity and temperature shifts.
  • What's the best time of year to paint a house exterior in Tulsa?

    Spring and fall offer the most stable temperatures and lower humidity, ideal for exterior painting. Avoid extreme summer heat and winter freezes, which can affect paint adhesion and curing. At Kurb to Kitchen, we select paint systems designed to withstand Oklahoma storms and seasonal weather changes year-round.
  • Can drywall cracks be repaired without replacing the whole wall?

    Yes, most cracks and holes can be seamlessly repaired using professional patching and finishing techniques. This approach blends repairs cleanly with surrounding walls and ceilings. At Kurb to Kitchen, we handle settlement cracks, water damage, and aging home repairs throughout Coweta and Tulsa County communities.
  • Does wallpaper removal damage the drywall underneath?

    When done correctly, wallpaper removal protects the drywall and prepares it for painting. Proper techniques minimize surface damage and preserve wall integrity. At Kurb to Kitchen, we use safe removal methods that allow walls to be smoothly finished with modern paint or coverings.
  • How often should you stain a deck in Oklahoma?

    Most decks benefit from restaining every 2 to 3 years depending on sun exposure and weather conditions. Oklahoma's intense sun and moisture cycles can wear down protective finishes quickly. At Kurb to Kitchen, we use stains and sealants designed specifically for local climate challenges.
  • What's included in a typical bathroom remodel?

    A bathroom remodel typically includes layout updates, new fixtures, tile installation, flooring, and finish improvements. These upgrades enhance functionality, comfort, and long-term home value. At Kurb to Kitchen, we're familiar with local housing styles and common bathroom needs throughout Broken Arrow and surrounding areas.
  • Why should drywall repairs be done before painting?

    Repairing drywall first ensures a smooth, even surface that allows paint to adhere properly and look professional. Unrepaired cracks or holes become more visible after painting. At Kurb to Kitchen, we commonly pair drywall repair with interior painting for seamless, lasting results.
  • What affects the cost of exterior painting?

    Cost depends on surface area, siding condition, trim detail, prep work needed, and paint quality. Homes requiring extensive surface preparation or multiple stories generally cost more. At Kurb to Kitchen, we assess each home individually to provide accurate estimates based on specific needs.
  • Can closet modifications improve home storage without major renovations?

    Yes, shelving adjustments and layout changes maximize usable space efficiently without full remodels. These modifications are common in primary bedrooms, hall closets, and utility areas. At Kurb to Kitchen, we design functional upgrades that improve daily organization throughout Bixby, Owasso, and nearby communities.
  • What's the biggest mistake homeowners make with kitchen remodels?

    Many homeowners overlook workflow and storage needs, focusing only on appearance. A successful remodel improves layout, functionality, and everyday usability alongside updated finishes. At Kurb to Kitchen, we bring 10+ years of experience designing kitchens that work better for Oklahoma families.
  • How do you prepare walls for painting after wallpaper removal?

    Walls must be cleaned, smoothed, and primed to ensure paint adheres evenly and looks professional. Any remaining adhesive or surface imperfections are corrected during prep. At Kurb to Kitchen, we handle full surface preparation so modern finishes apply cleanly and last longer.
  • Are handyman services good for move-in repairs?

    Yes, handyman services efficiently handle punch lists, small fixes, and installations needed before or after moving. This approach saves time by addressing multiple tasks in one visit. At Kurb to Kitchen, we provide reliable repair help for homeowners throughout Jenks, Coweta, and surrounding areas.
