Hear from Our Customers
Your Berkley home endures 33 inches of rain and 32 inches of snow annually, plus temperature swings from 21°F to 85°F. That’s why we use commercial-grade materials and meticulous preparation that protect your investment for years.
Most painting contractors rush through prep work to maximize jobs per day. We take a different approach. Every surface gets properly cleaned, scraped, primed, and sealed because Michigan weather will exploit every shortcut.
When your neighbors are repainting after three years and yours still looks fresh, you’ll understand why our customers become repeat customers. Quality preparation isn’t expensive—it’s an investment.
Legends Construction has served Berkley homeowners for two years, built on over 10 years of painting experience in the industry. We’re brothers running a family business—your project gets personal attention, not assembly-line treatment.
We started this company after seeing too many customers burned by unreliable contractors who disappear mid-project or cut corners to boost profits. When we commit to a timeline, we honor it. When we quote a price, that’s your final cost.
Our reputation in neighborhoods like Oakshire Manor and Roseland Woods comes from one simple principle: do excellent work at fair prices, and customers will call you back. We’re expanding our crew because that approach actually works.
We start with a thorough inspection of your surfaces, identifying any issues before they become expensive surprises. You’ll know exactly what needs attention and why—no mysterious “additional work” discovered halfway through.
Preparation comes next, and this is where quality painting separates from cheap painting. We clean, scrape, sand, and prime every surface properly. Your furniture and belongings get professional protection, not plastic grocery bags.
Application happens in controlled conditions with proper techniques—thin, even coats that cure correctly. We clean up completely each day and conduct a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets both our standards and yours before considering the job complete.

We handle comprehensive interior and exterior painting services for residential properties throughout Berkley. Single rooms, whole houses, or commercial projects—each gets the same methodical attention to detail.
Berkley’s housing includes many pre-1978 homes, creating potential lead paint hazards. We follow EPA-certified lead-safe practices and use low-VOC paints for healthier indoor environments. Your family’s safety isn’t negotiable.
Whether you’re updating a Craftsman bungalow near downtown or refreshing a ranch home in the residential neighborhoods, we understand local architecture and climate demands. Your home gets solutions engineered for Michigan conditions, not generic approaches that fail after one harsh winter.
Interior painting typically ranges from $1.20 to $3.00 per square foot in the Berkley area, while exterior costs vary significantly based on surface condition and required preparation. A standard 12×14 bedroom averages $800 to $1,800 depending on ceiling height, trim complexity, and surface preparation needs.
We provide detailed written estimates breaking down materials, labor, and preparation work with no hidden fees or surprise charges. You’ll understand exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.
Remember that the lowest bid often means corners will be cut on preparation or materials. Poor preparation leads to premature paint failure, turning your “bargain” into an expensive mistake within a few years.
Quality exterior paint properly applied should last 7-10 years in Michigan’s challenging climate. However, longevity depends entirely on surface preparation quality, paint grade, and application technique—areas where many contractors cut corners.
Berkley’s weather tests paint severely with freezing winters, hot humid summers, and substantial moisture from rain and snow. Paint jobs that skip proper preparation typically fail within 2-3 years, requiring expensive do-overs.
We use premium exterior paints formulated for harsh climates and invest extra time in surface preparation. This approach costs slightly more initially but prevents the much higher cost of premature repainting.
Absolutely. We follow strict EPA guidelines for lead-safe work practices in pre-1978 homes, including proper containment, specialized equipment, and certified disposal of contaminated debris. Safety compliance isn’t optional.
Most Berkley homes were built before 1978 when lead paint was banned. Disturbing lead paint improperly creates serious health risks, particularly for children and pregnant women. Many contractors ignore these requirements to save time and money.
We’re trained in EPA-certified lead-safe practices and adjust our methods when lead paint is present. If lead is suspected, we recommend professional testing before beginning work to determine the safest approach.
Late spring through early fall provides optimal conditions for exterior painting in Berkley. We need consistent temperatures above 50°F and controlled humidity for proper paint curing and adhesion.
Interior painting can happen year-round, though we avoid peak heating season when dramatic humidity fluctuations interfere with proper curing. Stable environmental conditions produce better results and reduce paint odors.
We monitor weather forecasts closely and may adjust schedules to ensure ideal application conditions. Rushing paint application in poor weather always creates problems that surface later.
We relocate furniture to room centers and cover everything with professional-grade plastic sheeting. Floors receive heavy-duty canvas drop cloths, and we carefully mask all trim, fixtures, and hardware that shouldn’t be painted.
Our crew brings all necessary protection materials—you don’t need to supply anything. We also remove outlet covers, switch plates, and other hardware that interferes with clean paint lines.
Each workday ends with complete cleanup. No paint supplies or equipment left out overnight, and we vacuum any debris from preparation work. Your home remains livable throughout the project.
We’re brothers operating a family business where your project receives personal attention and accountability. Our reputation depends on delivering quality work on schedule at the price we quote—no games or surprises.
Too many area contractors are unreliable: they don’t return calls, show up late, or sacrifice quality for speed. We built our business differently because we want your repeat business and referrals from satisfied customers.
Our decade-plus of painting experience combined with competitive pricing delivers professional results without premium pricing. We’re expanding our crew because satisfied customers keep calling us back for additional projects.
