You want painting work that looks great today and still looks great years from now. That means proper preparation, quality materials, and application techniques that can handle Sterling Heights’ tough weather conditions.
With 32 inches of annual snowfall and winter lows averaging 19 degrees, your paint job needs to be more than just pretty. It needs to protect your investment from moisture, temperature swings, and daily wear.
When the work is done right the first time, you’re not calling painters back in two years. You’re enjoying the results and recommending us to neighbors who notice the difference.
Legends Construction LLC brings over 10 years of painting experience to Sterling Heights. We’ve been operating for two years, built by two brothers who understand that quality work and fair pricing create customers for life.
Sterling Heights homes face unique challenges, especially water damage on exterior surfaces common to lakefront properties. We know how to prep and protect these surfaces properly because we’ve been working in this area and understand what works.
Whether you need interior painting for your home or commercial painting for your business, we approach every project with the same commitment to getting it right the first time.
We start with a consultation at your Sterling Heights property to understand exactly what you need and assess the current condition of surfaces that need attention.
Preparation comes next – cleaning, scraping, sanding, and priming as needed. This step determines whether your paint job lasts three years or fifteen, so we don’t cut corners here.
Application follows with quality paints applied using the right techniques for your specific surfaces and conditions. We clean up thoroughly and walk through the completed work with you to ensure you’re completely satisfied with the results.

For commercial clients in Sterling Heights, we understand that timing and minimal disruption matter. We work efficiently to complete projects on schedule while maintaining the professional appearance your business needs.
Sterling Heights experiences 32 inches of snow annually with winter lows averaging 19 degrees, which puts significant stress on exterior paint. Quality exterior painting with proper preparation and weather-resistant paint typically lasts 7-10 years in our climate.
The key is using paints formulated for Michigan weather conditions and ensuring proper surface preparation. We address any existing moisture damage, prime all surfaces appropriately, and apply paints that can expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking or peeling.
Cheaper paint jobs might look good initially but often start showing problems within 2-3 years when exposed to Sterling Heights’ weather extremes.
Preparation is the most critical part of any lasting paint job. We start by thoroughly cleaning all surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and any substances that could prevent proper paint adhesion.
Next comes scraping off any loose or peeling paint, sanding rough areas smooth, and filling holes or cracks with appropriate compounds. For Sterling Heights homes, we pay special attention to water damage repair, especially common on lakefront properties.
Finally, we prime all prepared surfaces with high-quality primer selected for the specific surface type and conditions. This preparation work typically takes 40-60% of the total project time, but it’s what separates paint jobs that last from those that fail prematurely.
Yes, we handle both residential and commercial painting projects throughout Sterling Heights. For homes, we work on everything from single rooms to complete interior and exterior repaints, including specialized areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and trim work.
Commercial projects include offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and other business properties. We understand that commercial work often requires flexible scheduling to minimize disruption to your operations, and we can work evenings or weekends when necessary.
Whether residential or commercial, we use the same quality materials and attention to detail. The main difference is project scheduling and coordination to meet the specific needs of homeowners versus business owners.
Our pricing is based on several factors: the size of the area to be painted, the amount of preparation work needed, the type and quality of paint required, and the complexity of the project. Interior painting typically costs $2 to $6 per square foot, so a 12-by-12-foot room with 8-foot walls would range from $768 to $2,304.
We provide detailed, written estimates after assessing your specific project. This includes a breakdown of preparation work, materials, and labor so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. We believe in competitive pricing that reflects the quality of work and materials we use.
Additional factors like ceiling height, surface conditions, and color changes can affect pricing, which is why we always evaluate each project individually rather than giving generic estimates.
For Sterling Heights’ climate, we recommend high-quality acrylic latex paints for most exterior applications because they resist moisture, expand and contract well with temperature changes, and maintain their color longer than cheaper alternatives.
Interior paint selection depends on the room and usage. For high-traffic areas and kitchens, we suggest washable paints with higher sheen levels. For bedrooms and living areas, we often recommend low-VOC paints that improve indoor air quality while providing excellent coverage and durability.
We work with premium paint brands that offer warranties and have proven performance in Michigan weather conditions. The higher upfront cost of quality paint pays for itself by extending the time between repaints and maintaining better appearance over time.
Project timeline depends on size, complexity, and weather conditions for exterior work. Most interior room painting projects are completed within 1-3 days, while whole-house interiors typically take 5-7 days including proper drying time between coats.
Exterior projects vary more due to weather dependency. A typical house exterior takes 3-5 days of actual work time, but may be spread over 1-2 weeks depending on Sterling Heights weather conditions and the need for proper drying between preparation and painting steps.
We always provide realistic timelines during our initial consultation and keep you updated if weather or unexpected conditions affect the schedule. Our goal is to complete quality work efficiently while ensuring each step has adequate time for proper results.
