Edmond Kitchen Bath Home
After seventeen years, EKB Home is back where it began, with a focus on full home design. Formerly named Edmond Kitchen & Bath, the company still offers the high-quality kitchen and bath designs it’s known for. But now they’re adding more to the mix. “We’ve experienced requests for other types of designs,” says co-owner Brenda Helms, “so we’re coming full circle and offering a whole range of home design services.”
It’s a natural transition for Brenda and her husband Robert, who run EKB Home as a team. They share a lifelong passion for building, creating, and design. “We would go to estate sales on dates so we could see the architecture and furniture,” Brenda recalls.
Once they married and started a family, Brenda began tackling her own home design projects. Then friends started asking her and Robert for help, and a business was born. They worked on a variety of projects at first, then began specializing in kitchen and bath.
As a licensed and registered interior designer, Brenda oversees the design process along with designer Megan Greeve and CAD designer Maureen Befort. Robert takes charge of the actual building and construction. He’s the “go-to guy” that the others turn to for help in solving tough building problems. Once the plans are made, daily activities inside each home are overseen by Project Manager Scott Suenram, who has been with EKB Home over 14 years.
“It’s very much a small family business,” Brenda notes. The Helms’s daughter-in-law Addie recently came on board as a design assistant. “We’ve built long-term relationships,” says Brenda. “There’s also very low turnover with our contractors and subcontractors. As a customer, you know what you’re going to get.
The team takes special pride in their work on the Hahn Appliance OKC showroom, where they showcase design options from many different companies. Right now they’re enjoying the process of creating a complete new-home design Ponca City.
EKB Home is also re-focusing on its Edmond showroom at 243 North Broadway. When the remodel is complete, it will feature a wide range of home design options. “We’ve got beautiful plans for it,” says Brenda. “We’re very excited about our new showroom.
