How To Choose a Painter in Tulsa
When deciding on a house painting company, keep these key factors in mind.
- Cost: Talk to a few painters to get price estimates. Be wary of unusually cheap prices compared to the average.
- Guarantees: Ensure that you get all guarantees in writing, and that you understand what’s covered and for how long.
- Paint types: Your painting company can guide you through the different paint selections and their pros and cons to help you choose the best one for your needs. Certain paints, for instance, protect against weather damage more effectively or are more eco-friendly.
- Qualifications: Confirm your painter is properly licensed to work in Tulsa and in the state of Oklahoma. Make sure your painter is properly bonded and insured, especially if they’re working with power equipment or on ladders. If your home was built before 1978, and you're worried about the possible presence of lead, you might look for a contractor who is certified by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality.
- Reputation and reviews: Get references from family and friends, or review the Better Business Bureau (BBB) pages of local painters. You can also find customer reviews on websites such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot.
How Much Does Painting Cost in Tulsa?
The price to paint your home will be determined by your home’s dimensions, the paint you choose, and the season. Painters typically bill more in the busy summer season. Interior and exterior painting jobs both run, on average, between $0.69 and $2.74 per square foot. Most homes have more interior surface area than exterior surface area, which means the cost to paint the interior will be more expensive than the cost to paint outside. The average cost of painting a 2,000-square-foot home in Tulsa is $3,426 for outside work and $1,370 to $5,482 for inside work. Some painters in Tulsa may offer alternative rates of $12.63 to $21.05 per hour. Packaging services together can help you save with these hourly rates. Having interior and exterior painting completed simultaneously instead of separately, for instance, may result in a lower bill.
