D & A Painting And Construction is a dual-service contractor operating in Oklahoma City that handles both residential painting and light construction work under one license. Unlike single-trade painters, this operation positions itself as a one-stop option for homeowners who need paint plus carpentry, drywall, or structural repairs completed together. The company operates at the mid-market level, handling jobs from single-room refreshes to full exterior repaints and renovation coordination.
The business splits work into two main categories: painting services (interior walls, ceilings, trim, exterior siding and trim, deck staining) and construction-adjacent work (drywall repair and installation, minor carpentry, soffit and fascia replacement). This combination is useful for homeowners who discover hidden damage once painters remove old paint or prep walls, allowing the same crew to address structural issues without scheduling a separate contractor. The operation is licensed as a painting and construction contractor in Oklahoma, meaning jobs requiring permits or inspections can remain under a single company's responsibility.
D & A quotes jobs individually rather than offering flat-rate menus. Verify current pricing by requesting an estimate through the company directly; painting labor typically ranges from $1.50 to $3 per square foot for interior work and $2 to $4 per square foot for exterior, depending on surface condition and prep needs. Materials (paint, primer, caulk) are usually added separately. Construction add-ons such as drywall patching or trim replacement increase the total but eliminate the need to coordinate multiple contractors. Most jobs require an in-person walkthrough before a quote is provided.
D & A differs from single-trade operations like independent house painters or franchises such as Sherwin-Williams (which handles painting only) because it can handle prep work and minor structural issues without a referral to a separate contractor. Against general contractors that paint as one service among many (framing, electrical, plumbing), D & A keeps focus narrower, meaning faster turnaround for paint-primary jobs. For homeowners with only paint needs, a dedicated interior painter may move faster and cost less. For those with paint plus discovered rot, loose trim, or drywall problems, D & A avoids the coordination burden.
Choose D & A if you have a painting job that might uncover repairs, you prefer one invoice and one crew, or you want painting and light construction overlap simplified. Choose a single-trade painter if your walls are sound, you want the lowest price, or your project is small. Skip this option if you need major structural work (foundation, framing, full roof replacement), as the construction piece is ancillary to painting, not structural heavy-lifting.
After a phone inquiry, a representative will schedule an on-site inspection. During this visit, they walk the interior or exterior areas to be painted, assess surface condition, identify any repairs needed, and measure or photograph for the estimate. This typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The company then provides a written quote breaking out paint, materials, labor, and any construction add-ons. Approval and scheduling usually happen within a few days.
D & A operates during standard business hours for estimates and consultation. Verify the current office hours and request availability by phone or email through the company's contact method. Most jobs are scheduled with a crew arrival in the early morning, typically between 7 and 8 a.m., with crews working through mid-afternoon. Parking is handled at the job site; for interior work, the homeowner and crew share the driveway or street. For exterior projects, the crew brings ladders and equipment, so clear access to the house perimeter is needed beforehand.
D & A Painting And Construction fills a practical gap for Oklahoma City homeowners who want painting and light repairs coordinated under one contractor, avoiding the phone tag of scheduling multiple crews and reducing the chance that a new discovery stops the project midway.
