Our Story
Oak City Coatings was founded with the mission to deliver a new standard of experience on every paint job.
Nick O’Keefe founded Oak City Coatings after spending more than a decade in the paint and coatings industry. He has worked for the largest paint manufacturer and a top distributor of paints and stains in the world, serving customers in both residential and commercial markets. Read about Nick’s years at Sherwin-Williams.
Nick realized his passion for serving customers went beyond the paint store, so he decided to bring his knowledge directly to your doorstep. He works with homeowners, realtors, and business owners, and he’s passionate about delivering the top-quality service and expertise you deserve.

what our clients are saying...
★★★★★
“HIGHLY recommend working with Oak City Coatings! My house needed exterior painting as well as carpentry work done on rotted siding and it looks brand new after working with Oak City Coatings. Nick and his team provided the most professional and outstanding service from beginning to end. Nick not only gave us the most fair and affordable quote for the project, but was also so thorough and took the time to really understand what we wanted. I felt anxious about deciding on a color and he brought so much unique expertise with color selection. We will definitely be using Oak City Coatings for any future painting projects!”

“Nick, was amazing. He took the time with me to discuss the exterior color 'grey' for my home (which looks amazing now!). I was not rushed and he is very much, about what your needs are and what he can do to help your journey! I will use Oak City Coatings again! If you are wanting professional quality and good pricing for superior services, Nick is your guy! I HIGHLY recommend this company!”
— Heidi Myers
★★★★★
“Oak City Coatings came highly recommended to me from several work colleagues and the experience didn't disappoint! I had a few companies come and give me estimates, but Nick's estimate was by far the most thorough and easier to really see what they would be doing and what value I would be getting for my money. Nick did a great job helping pick out the color and keeping us in the loop as the date approached for the job to start. The team did a great job with painting our interior walls. We had a large portion of house painted (walls, ceilings, and trim) but they managed to do it with minimal disruption to our family and got it all done in 2 days! We're really pleased with how it turned out. Our house looks so much cleaner and brighter now!”
— Russell Giroux
★★★★★
“We had our unfinished deck sealed, painted, and stained. I’m so glad we had Oak City Coating complete this project for us. They did an awesome job and we are so thrilled with how our deck looks. We also have peace of mind knowing that the wood is protected now. The team worked hard and really did a great job. I will definitely hire Oak City Coatings again for any of our painting projects.”
— Lori Miller
★★★★★
“My house was starting to look dingy with faded shutters, worn-out paint/algae on the trim, and rust spots on the garage door. Nick and his crew did an awesome job and my house is looking good as new! I plan to use Oak City Coatings again on a future interior project.”
— Shawn Gingrich
