Bedroom Painting in Ardmore, OK

Bedroom painting in Ardmore, OK freshens walls, ceilings, trim and closets with low-odor paint, so the room is back in use quickly. Safe Choice Painting moves and covers your belongings, patches dings and nail holes, and applies two even coats. We can paint one bedroom or all of them, keeping a bed available each night.

Most Ardmore homes have two or three bedrooms

Census estimates show about 45 percent of Ardmore homes have three bedrooms and about 32 percent have two. Those are the jobs we see most: a main bedroom, a kids' room or two, and a guest room that doubles as a study or a craft room. Painting all of them in one visit saves setup time and keeps colors consistent from room to room. We plan the order with you, usually starting with the room that is easiest to empty and finishing with the main bedroom so you always have a place to sleep. If a nursery is on the list, we paint it early so it has extra days to air out before the baby moves in, and we use a zero-VOC wall paint if you ask for one.

Closed-up houses in summer and winter

The Oklahoma Mesonet puts Carter County at about 3,354 heating degree days and 2,000 cooling degree days a year. In plain terms, the heat or the air conditioning is running for much of the year, and windows stay shut through long stretches of summer and winter. That makes paint odor matter more in a bedroom than in other rooms. We use low-odor, low-VOC wall paints, keep a fan moving air out of the room while we work, and leave the HVAC running so the paint dries on schedule. How soon you can sleep in the room is covered in our answer on sleeping in a freshly painted room.

Bedrooms in older homes

In the McLish area, the state's survey found homes built mainly between 1900 and 1955, in Craftsman, Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival styles. Bedrooms in houses that age often have plaster walls, wide wood trim and doors with many layers of paint. Plaster cracks are opened, filled and smoothed before painting, and sticky or chipped door edges are sanded so the door closes cleanly afterward. Newer homes have different needs: nail pops in drywall, scuffs from bed frames and anchor holes from shelves and TVs, all patched and primed before the finish coats.

Color and sheen for bedrooms

• Walls: matte or eggshell for a soft look that hides small flaws.
• Kids' rooms: a scrubbable matte or eggshell so marks wipe off.
• Trim and doors: satin or semi-gloss for durability.
• Ceilings: flat; see ceiling painting in Ardmore.

Dark accent walls behind a headboard are popular and work well in bedrooms, since they sit out of direct sun. Deep colors usually need an extra coat to cover evenly, so we plan for that on the estimate. If you are moving from a dark color back to a light one, a tinted primer goes on first so the old color does not ghost through.

What happens on painting day

1. Belongings go to the center of the room under plastic, and floors are covered.
2. Outlet covers and switch plates come off, and fixtures are masked.
3. Holes, cracks and dings are filled, sanded and spot primed.
4. Ceilings first, then trim, then walls.
5. Belongings go back, and we walk the room with you.
