Introduction: My name is Nick, I am owner of Oak City Coatings, here in the Triangle. I help homeowners, business owners, property managers, and contractors achieve high-quality paint and coatings project results by focusing on customer service, fair pricing, and most importantly, quality results. I started Oak City Coatings to help clients by solving problems and providing solutions unique to each project. In turn, increasing customer satisfaction in initial and long-term results. I spent more than a decade working for Sherwin-Williams in both management and outside sales, serving customers in both residential and commercial markets. I realized my passion for helping my customers went beyond the paint store and decided to bring my knowledge directly to your doorstep.

We obtained five quotes for the exterior painting of our house in Chapel Hill. All the companies were highly rated. We knew less about Oak City than the others, but we went with them on the strength of our interactions with Nick. When we walked around the house to size up the job, Nick pointed out several aspects of the job that the representatives from the other companies overlooked. His proposal for the job was much more detailed and more clear than the proposals by the other companies. Oak City’s painting consultant, Tanya, was a big plus too. She skillfully led us through the choice of colors for our siding, trim, and rails. Oak City’s painting crew was polite, friendly, and tidy. Nick’s eye is exacting. He set a very high standard for the work and had the crew redo a couple parts of it until he was satisfied. We have owned our house for 16 years and have had various types of work done on it. Selecting Oak City to paint it is easily one of the best home-maintenance/improvement decisions we’ve made. We could not be more satisfied with the results and how Oak City achieved them. As a result of our positive experience, we have hired Oak City to do the painting for our kitchen renovation. We give them our highest recommendation.

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to Nick and his team for the outstanding job on the exterior painting of my home. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, your professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the project. Your knowledge and expertise were evident in the thoughtful recommendations you made regarding paint color and finish, as well as the care you took in preparing the surfaces to be painted. Throughout the project, you and your team were prompt, courteous, and respectful of my property. The work was completed on schedule, and the cleanup was thorough. You went above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied with the finished product, taking the time to address any concerns I had and making sure that everything was perfect. The quality of the paint job is exceptional, and I have received numerous compliments from neighbors and passersby. I am confident that the paint will last for many years to come, thanks to your meticulous attention to detail and use of high-quality materials. Overall, I am thrilled with the work that you and your team have done. I would not hesitate to recommend you to friends and family, and I look forward to working with you again in the future. Thank you again for your outstanding work

After taking to Nick over the phone about our project I got the feeling that Oak City Coatings was the perfect fit for our project. Nick came to the house with stain samples, explained the process, and set expectations. A week later, perfection. Nick and his crew exceeded expectations. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have their fence stained or painted. Thank you!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our pricing is unique to each and every customer based on each individuals wants and needs. We customize each estimate to fit your goals and your budget by offering custom tailored options and solutions.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our Process: 1. Get a free estimate: To book a spot in our schedule, we require a 25% deposit & authorization by signature to do the work described in the contract. 2. After reserving a spot with us: We will be in contact with you to start talking about the initial steps and a potential start date. On this call we will also address any other concerns or details that need to be managed prior to starting work on your home. 3. 4 weeks before the start date: We'll provide test patches for you to ensure that you like your color selection. For exterior jobs: at this point we will also provide anything you need for approval from your HOA. 4. Once you have selected your colors and they have been approved by your homeowners’ association, it is time to schedule a rough start date! 5. The week leading up to the job you can expect phone calls to keep you updated on the estimated start date and any changes due to weather or unforeseen delays in our work schedule. Please keep in mind that we can see all four seasons in one day in North Carolina, so we request that you understand your start date may change slightly. 6. Before starting the job, we will power wash the house for all exterior jobs. 7. During the job, we will let you know what time you can expect us to start work each day. We will talk with you daily about the progress of the job and any concerns so we can address those right away. 8. At the end of the job, we’ll take you around the house to do any last touch-ups before we ask for the final payment. We would also appreciate it if you would fill out a short survey letting us know how the process was for you. Your feedback is very valuable to us! We would also appreciate any referrals or a reference letter to express your satisfaction with the work we do and with our company.
