Owner-run remodeling, Midland TXMidland TX
Owner Joel Gomez plans and runs every Alpha project himself, from the written scope to the final walkthrough. Showers are flood-tested and waterproofed before a single tile goes up.
Alpha General Construction offers bathroom remodeling in Midland, TX, along with kitchens and whole-home renovations. Owner Joel Gomez manages each project himself, from reviewing the property and writing the scope to coordinating trades and walking the finished work with you.
Joel also writes Alpha's Behind the Build advice column, and his message is steady: compare the details, not just the total. Your written scope spells out the work, the selections and who is responsible for what, so the price you approve matches the job you get. One wet-room client noted that Alpha gave the highest quote, but it was worth it.
Full bathroom renovations that cover shower and tub layout, waterproofing and tile, vanities and countertops, and the plumbing, ventilation and electrical behind them. Glass, fixtures and finish details are planned in the same written scope, so nothing is left to guesswork.
Alpha recently turned a shower and tub area into a true wet room with a zero-curb entry. The job took demolition, framing changes, slab work, drain relocation, waterproofing, tile, plumbing, electrical, drywall and paint, all sequenced as one project.
Each kitchen starts with a review of the layout and existing conditions. From there the scope covers cabinetry and finish selections, countertops and backsplash, plumbing, electrical and appliance hookups, then flooring, paint and the final details.
When a renovation connects several rooms and trades, Alpha ties the scopes, layout changes, cabinetry, flooring and finishes into one schedule. Changes are documented as they happen, and the job ends with a final walkthrough of the agreed work.
Joel reviews the property, coordinates trades, talks through selections and keeps you informed until the last walkthrough. One reviewer wrote that Joel was great to work with and kept them very informed.
Alpha builds the shower pan to code and flood-tests it, then applies a continuous surface waterproofing such as RedGard to walls, niche, bench and curb. Waterproofing is documented and backed by a written labor warranty.
Your written scope defines the work, selections and responsibilities before construction starts, and changes are documented along the way. That gives you a fair way to compare Alpha against other bids.
For bigger renovations, Alpha works alongside PrimeLending loan originator Stephanie Hecke. Alpha prepares the construction estimate your lender needs, while PrimeLending makes every credit decision.
Joel Gomez owns Alpha General Construction and manages its projects personally. He reviews each property, writes the scope, coordinates the trades, talks through selections and stays involved through the final walkthrough.
Under his full name, Joel Gomez Rivas, he writes Alpha's Behind the Build articles on comparing bids, planning a kitchen and the questions to ask before a shower demo. Alpha leans on trusted local partners, including Yates Flooring Center for tile and Ferguson for plumbing fixtures, so orders arrive right the first time. Reviewers describe Joel as nice, patient and good at keeping them informed.

Decided to go with them for turning our shower/bath area into a wet room. After getting multiple quotes from other contractors who seemed a little unsure about it, we were skeptical. Alpha gave us the highest quote, but it was worth it.
Our kitchen went from a dated, falling apart deterrent, to a room that everyone absolutely loves. It is exactly what I imagined and brings me such joy. Anything you can think of they can do.
Alpha construction did a great job on our home. Joel was always nice and patient with us and was able to make our vision for our restrooms happen. 10/10
Yes. Alpha has converted a shower and tub area into a true wet room with a zero-curb entry. That work involved demolition, framing changes, slab work for the curbless entry, drain relocation, waterproofing, tile, plumbing, electrical, drywall and paint. Curbless designs need this planning up front, so it goes into your written scope.
Alpha builds the shower pan to code and flood-tests it, then applies one continuous surface waterproofing system, such as RedGard, to the walls, niche, bench and curb. Tile is set with lasers and long levels. The waterproofing is documented, and the work is backed by a written labor warranty.
Look past the total. A useful proposal states what is included and excluded, who supplies materials, how waterproofing will be done, how hidden conditions are handled and what warranty backs the work. The lowest bid can leave out steps that come back later as change orders.
Alpha's kitchen planning guide gives these ranges: semi-custom cabinets about $12,000 to $25,000 or more, custom from about $30,000, and quartz, granite or quartzite at $50 to $100 or more per square foot installed. Set aside 10 to 15 percent for surprises. A full kitchen typically takes 6 to 10 weeks.
You can talk with PrimeLending loan originator Stephanie Hecke about renovation loan programs, where costs may be included in a purchase or refinance mortgage depending on the program. Alpha prepares the construction estimate and project details the lender asks for. PrimeLending makes all credit decisions, and Alpha does not.
