1. Preparing Your Home for Painting
A little preparation goes a long way in making your project smooth and efficient.
For interiors: Remove wall décor, drapes, and fragile items. If possible, move furniture toward the center of the room so our crew has space to work.
For exteriors: Clear patios, decks, driveways, and yards of outdoor furniture, grills, and vehicles. Easy access allows our team to set up quickly, protect your property, and get right to work.
This extra step ensures a clean, professional, and stress-free painting experience.
2. Do Your Research
Not all painting companies in Edmond and the greater OKC area are the same. Take time to:
Read online reviews from neighbors and local homeowners.
Ask for references or check past projects.
Confirm the company carries insurance and offers a written warranty.
At CertaPro Painters® of OKC-Edmond, we’re locally owned and operated with strong ties to the community. We’re fully insured, stand behind our work with a warranty, and take pride in delivering quality results that last.
3. Request a Detailed Estimate 
A clear estimate should outline project scope, materials, and costs so you know exactly what to expect.
We provide free, no-obligation estimates for every project. If you need help choosing colors, we also offer optional consultations through Sherwin-Williams to help you find the perfect palette for your Edmond home.
Your final price will always align with your written estimate—unless the scope of work changes. If adjustments are needed, we’ll review them with you before moving forward
4. Understand the Painting Process
The right products and project management make all the difference.
Each project has an on-site supervisor to provide updates and oversee the crew.
We use trusted brands like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, including eco-friendly, low-VOC, and no-VOC paints.
Durable finishes are used on high-touch areas like trim, doors, and cabinets.
Our process includes prep work (primers, stains, caulking, sealing), followed by a thorough clean-up. Indoors, we help restore furniture and décor to its original place.
From start to finish, we handle the details so you can enjoy the transformation.
5. Set Realistic Expectations 
Painting timelines depend on factors like the size of your home, the condition of the surfaces, the number of rooms or colors, and for exteriors, Oklahoma weather.
That’s why communication is key. Our team will walk you through the project schedule, keep you updated along the way, and make adjustments if needed. The goal is to deliver a great experience—and results you’ll love.
