You get more than fresh paint. You get protection against Michigan’s harsh winters, UV damage, and moisture that can destroy your investment. Our low-VOC paints mean better air quality for your family while delivering the rich, lasting color you want.
When we’re done, your home looks exactly how you envisioned it. No surprises, no shortcuts, no coming back to fix what should have been done right the first time. Just clean lines, smooth finishes, and paint that holds up to whatever Leonard’s weather throws at it.
The result? A home that makes you proud to pull into your driveway, protects your biggest investment, and won’t need another paint job for years to come.
We bring over 10 years of painting experience to Leonard, MI. What started as two brothers with a commitment to quality work has grown into a trusted name in Macomb and Oakland Counties.
We’ve been operating as Legends Construction for two years, but our roots in painting run much deeper. We’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners, rush jobs, or disappear after cashing checks. That’s exactly why we do business differently.
Our approach is straightforward: do the job right, use quality materials, and make sure you’re satisfied enough to call us again. Leonard homeowners deserve contractors who show up on time, protect their property, and deliver results that last through Michigan’s demanding seasons.
We start with a free consultation at your Leonard home. You’ll get a clear estimate with no hidden fees, and we’ll walk through exactly what the project involves.
Before any paint touches your walls, we protect your floors and furniture completely. Then comes the prep work that separates good painters from great ones – cleaning surfaces, filling imperfections, sanding where needed, and applying primer. This isn’t the fun part, but it’s why our paint jobs last.
Application happens in multiple coats using brushes, rollers, or sprayers depending on your surface. We cut clean edges and ensure consistent coverage on every surface. Finally, we do a complete walkthrough with you to make sure everything meets our standards and yours.

Whether you need interior rooms refreshed or exterior protection against Michigan weather, we handle residential and commercial projects throughout Leonard and Oakland County. Our services include surface preparation, quality paint application, and thorough cleanup.
Leonard’s climate demands specific approaches. We select paints that withstand freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and moisture challenges common in Southeast Michigan. For interiors, we use low-VOC options that improve air quality while delivering rich, lasting color.
From single rooms to whole house painting, we bring the same attention to detail and quality materials. Commercial clients appreciate our ability to work around business schedules while maintaining professional standards that reflect well on their companies.
Exterior house painting typically takes 4-7 days depending on your home’s size, condition, and weather. A single room might be completed in 1-2 days, while whole house interior projects take longer.
The timeline depends heavily on preparation work needed. Homes with peeling paint, surface damage, or multiple colors require more time. Weather also plays a role – we won’t paint in rain, extreme temperatures, or high humidity because it affects paint adhesion and curing.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the project. Quality work can’t be rushed, but we also respect your schedule and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
For Leonard’s climate, we recommend high-quality acrylic paints that handle freeze-thaw cycles and moisture. Exterior paints need UV protection and flexibility to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking.
Interior paints should be low-VOC for better air quality, especially important during Michigan’s closed-window months. We typically suggest satin or eggshell finishes for walls because they’re durable and easy to clean, while matte works well for ceilings to hide imperfections.
Paint quality matters more in Michigan than many other climates. Cheap paint fails faster here, leading to peeling, fading, and moisture problems. Investing in quality paint and proper application saves money long-term by extending the time between repaints.
Exterior house painting typically ranges from $3,000-$7,000 depending on size, condition, and paint selection. Interior painting costs $2-$6 per square foot for walls, with additional charges for ceilings and trim work.
Several factors affect pricing: surface preparation needed, number of coats required, paint quality selected, and project complexity. Homes needing extensive prep work like scraping, sanding, or repairs cost more but result in longer-lasting finishes.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor, materials, and any additional work needed. No surprise charges or hidden fees – you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
Yes, we offer free consultations and estimates for all painting projects in Leonard and surrounding Oakland County areas. We’ll visit your property, assess the work needed, and provide a detailed written quote.
During the estimate, we discuss your color preferences, timeline, and any specific concerns about your project. We’ll explain our process, materials we recommend, and answer any questions about the work involved.
Our estimates are comprehensive and honest – we include all necessary prep work, materials, and labor so you can make an informed decision. There’s no pressure or obligation, and we’re happy to work with you on timing and budget considerations.
Complete surface preparation is essential for lasting results. We clean all surfaces, scrape loose or peeling paint, fill holes and cracks, sand rough areas, and apply primer where needed. This prep work is what separates professional results from DIY failures.
We also protect your property by covering floors, furniture, and landscaping before starting. Drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and careful masking ensure paint only goes where it belongs. This attention to detail prevents damage and makes cleanup easier.
Proper preparation takes time but it’s why our paint jobs last. Skipping prep work leads to paint failure, peeling, and the need for expensive repainting much sooner. We do it right the first time so you won’t need to deal with these problems.
Yes, Legends Construction LLC is properly licensed and insured for painting work throughout Michigan. We carry liability insurance to protect your property and workers’ compensation coverage for our team’s safety.
Insurance and licensing aren’t just legal requirements – they’re protection for you as the homeowner. If something goes wrong during the project, you’re covered. Many contractors skip proper insurance to offer lower prices, but that risk falls on you.
We’re happy to provide proof of insurance and licensing before starting any work. Professional contractors should always be able to show current documentation without hesitation. It’s one way to verify you’re working with legitimate, responsible professionals.
