DeLeon's Painting & Remodeling is a locally operated painting contractor that handles residential interior and exterior jobs alongside small-to-mid remodeling projects. The business works directly with homeowners across Oklahoma City's metro area, taking on everything from single-room refreshes to full exterior repaints and kitchen or bathroom renovations. Unlike larger national franchises, this is a hands-on operation where the owner manages projects rather than routing work through a call center.
The company operates as a full-service residential painter with added remodeling capacity. This means you can hire them for a straightforward paint job (walls, trim, doors, exterior siding) or bundle painting with structural or cosmetic renovation work like drywall repair, tile installation, or cabinet refinishing. They do not handle roofing or HVAC. The scope sits between a one-person handyman and a full general contractor, making them practical for homeowners who want a single point of contact for projects that combine painting with minor structural changes.
Interior painting starts at approximately $400 to $600 for a single bedroom, with full-house jobs ranging from $2,500 to $6,000 depending on square footage, wall condition, and finish type (flat versus semi-gloss, for example). Exterior work costs $1,500 to $4,500 for homes under 2,500 square feet, influenced by siding material and height accessibility. Remodeling add-ons (drywall patching, tile backsplash, vanity installation) are quoted on a per-project basis. Confirm current rates directly, as material costs and labor pricing adjust seasonally. The business typically requires a deposit equal to 30 to 50 percent of the estimate; the remainder is due on completion.
Two other established local alternatives are Sherwin-Williams Professional Painting (a corporate-backed franchise with multiple crews and faster scheduling for large jobs) and independent contractors listed through the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board. Sherwin-Williams tends to charge 15 to 20 percent higher for standard work but guarantees response time and carries their own warranty. Independent contractors often undercut by 10 to 15 percent but vary widely in follow-up and job consistency. DeLeon's sits in the middle: pricing is competitive with franchises, turnaround is faster than many one-person shops, and the addition of remodeling services eliminates the need to hire a second contractor for related work. Choose Sherwin-Williams if you need predictable scheduling and extensive crew backup; choose DeLeon's if you want flexible scoping and owner involvement; choose an independent if your project is small and price is the only factor.
DeLeon's works well for homeowners doing a refresh (new paint plus updated trim or light drywall repair), families bundling a bathroom or kitchen paint with minor tile or fixture work, and anyone who values a single contact managing the project from estimate to cleanup. Larger commercial properties, high-rise exterior work, or projects requiring specialized equipment (spray foam, industrial coatings) fall outside their scope. Similarly, if you need a quote within 48 hours for an urgent job, larger operations with multiple crews may respond faster.
A representative will visit your home to assess the existing finish, measure square footage, note surface prep needs (power washing for exterior, sanding for interior), and identify any hidden damage (water stains, mold, structural cracks) that affects labor cost. This walk-through typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. You receive a written estimate within two to three business days, which breaks down material, labor, timeline, and payment schedule. If you approve, a start date is set; work is usually scheduled within one to two weeks depending on current queue.
DeLeon's operates Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with Saturday availability for ongoing projects by arrangement. No office address or phone hold is required; initial contact is best by phone or email (confirm via local business directory). Crews arrive with their own equipment and materials; you provide workspace for drop cloths and drying. Project duration ranges from two to ten days depending on scope; owners should plan for noise and limited access during working hours.
DeLeon's has earned a practical role in Oklahoma City's home improvement market because it solves the two-contractor problem: painting alone, or painting bundled with related remodeling, managed by someone who shows up. For straightforward interior or exterior paint jobs without extras, larger chains may be more efficient; for anything that mixes paint with renovation, this business cuts coordination friction.
