Union Station and the old federal post office and courthouse building both sit directly on the Texas Arkansas state line here, so Texarkana is really two cities, Texarkana, Texas and Texarkana, Arkansas, sharing one downtown split by the border painted right across State Line Avenue. The restored 1924 Perot Theatre anchors the Texas side of that same downtown. The Texas side falls in Bowie County, whose legal county seat is the small town of Boston well northwest of the city, not Texarkana itself, a detail that surprises many longtime residents. Wright Patman Lake, a large Corps of Engineers reservoir, sits just southwest of town and draws weekend traffic from both sides of the state line. Homes here were built later than in most of our other markets, with a citywide median year built of 1980 and 51 percent owner occupancy. About 69 miles separates Texarkana from our Bossier City office by straight line distance, versus roughly 130 miles from West Monroe, making Bossier City the closer of the two.
Per American Community Survey data the median home in Texarkana was built around 1980, which makes the typical house about 46 years old. There are roughly 16,178 housing units here with a median value near $159,700. That makes Texarkana largely late century construction, typically engineered sheathing with venting close to current practice. These homes are now reaching the end of their first or second round of exterior work, which is the normal time for it rather than a sign that anything was done wrong. A large share of occupied homes here are rented, so scheduling and approvals often run through an owner or a property manager rather than the person who answers the door. We are used to that, and we keep both parties on the same email so nothing stalls. Values in Texarkana sit toward the lower end of the markets we serve, so the question is usually which option returns the most service life per dollar, and we will show you the point where spending more stops paying for itself. Those numbers are the starting point for how we plan tub to shower conversion projects in Texarkana. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.

A low step or barrier free threshold, a built in seat, and grab bars turn a daily hazard into a simple routine, and a modern acrylic surround wipes clean in seconds with no grout to scrub. Tubbs by Grubbs handles the whole conversion with our own installers, usually in one to two days, and backs it with a lifetime workmanship warranty.
