You’re not just getting a fresh coat of paint. You’re getting a barrier that stands up to Madison Heights’ water damage issues, temperature swings, and daily wear that destroys cheaper paint jobs.
When we finish your project, your siding stops absorbing moisture that leads to wood rot. Your trim stops cracking from seasonal expansion and contraction. Your interior walls resist scuffs and stains from everyday family life.
Most importantly, you get 7-10 years before needing another paint job—not the 3-4 years you’d get from rushed preparation and bargain materials. That’s what proper surface prep and quality paints actually deliver.
Legends Construction LLC brings over 10 years of painting experience to Madison Heights homes and businesses. We’ve been operating our current company for two years, built on a simple principle: do exceptional work so customers call us back.
As a family-owned painting contractor, we understand Madison Heights properties. We know siding exteriors dominate the area and that water damage is a constant concern, especially for homes near the lakes. We’ve seen what happens when surface preparation gets rushed or inferior materials get used.
Our approach prioritizes quality work at competitive pricing. No shortcuts that cause problems later, no surprise charges, just professional house painting services that protect your investment and earn your trust.
First, we inspect every surface requiring paint. This means identifying water damage common in Madison Heights, checking for wood rot around windows and trim, and noting areas needing repair before any painting begins.
Next comes the preparation work that separates professional painters from weekend contractors. We clean surfaces with degreasing agents, fill nail holes and cracks with quality spackle, sand rough patches smooth, and prime everything properly. This phase takes 40-60% of total project time, but it’s what makes paint jobs last 15 years instead of 3.
Finally, we apply your chosen paint using techniques that eliminate streaks, lap marks, and texture inconsistencies. Whether spraying exterior siding or rolling interior walls, we use methods that deliver smooth, even coverage. When finished, we walk through everything with you to ensure it meets both our standards and yours.

You get comprehensive painting services designed for Madison Heights properties. Interior painting covers walls, ceilings, trim, and specialty areas like kitchens and bathrooms that require moisture-resistant finishes and anti-microbial additives.
Exterior painting services handle siding, trim, decks, and fences using paints formulated for Michigan’s climate extremes. We understand Madison Heights homes face specific challenges—water penetration from lake proximity, UV fading, and temperature swings that cause paint failure when inferior products are used.
Commercial painting clients receive the same meticulous attention, whether refreshing office interiors or protecting industrial buildings from weather damage. Every project gets proper surface preparation, premium materials, and application techniques that deliver lasting protection at competitive rates.
Most Madison Heights homes require 3-5 days for complete exterior painting, depending on size, condition, and weather. The timeline includes thorough surface preparation, which takes 40-60% of total project time but determines whether your paint job lasts 3 years or 15.
Michigan’s humidity and temperature fluctuations affect drying times between coats. We won’t rush when conditions aren’t optimal—that’s how paint jobs fail prematurely and cost you more money later.
If your home shows water damage or wood rot issues common near Madison Heights’ lakes, expect additional time for necessary repairs. These repairs are essential for proper paint adhesion and long-term protection of your investment.
High-quality acrylic latex paints with superior formulations perform best in Madison Heights’ challenging climate. These paints contain higher percentages of titanium dioxide pigments and acrylic resins that resist fading, cracking, and moisture penetration.
For exterior surfaces, we use paints that expand and contract with temperature changes without losing adhesion. These premium formulations resist UV degradation and maintain protective qualities through Michigan’s harsh winters and humid summers.
Interior spaces benefit from low-VOC paints that improve air quality while providing durability. High-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens get paints with anti-microbial additives that prevent mold and mildew growth common in Michigan homes.
Interior painting typically costs $2-4 per square foot, while exterior work ranges $1.50-4 per square foot. The variation depends on surface condition, preparation requirements, and paint quality selected for your specific needs.
Madison Heights homes often need extensive prep work due to water damage and wood rot from lake proximity. This increases upfront costs but extends paint life from 3-4 years to 7-10 years—making proper preparation the most cost-effective choice long-term.
We provide detailed written estimates breaking down preparation, materials, and labor costs. No hidden fees or surprise charges—just transparent pricing for quality workmanship that protects your home’s value.
Absolutely. Water damage and wood rot must be addressed before painting begins, especially on Madison Heights homes near lakes where moisture penetration is common. Painting over damaged surfaces guarantees early paint failure and wasted money.
Our repair services include replacing rotted wood, filling gaps and cracks, caulking joints to prevent air infiltration, and treating affected areas to prevent recurring problems. We also handle light carpentry to restore trim and siding to proper condition.
Skipping these critical repairs leads to paint peeling within months rather than years. By fixing underlying issues first, we ensure your new paint job provides lasting protection and maintains your home’s value.
We prioritize two things many painting contractors compromise: meticulous surface preparation and genuine customer satisfaction. Over 10 years of experience taught us that rushing prep work creates expensive problems later.
As a family-owned business, our reputation depends on customers being satisfied enough to recommend us and call us back. We’re building long-term relationships, not chasing one-time jobs with rock-bottom prices and corner-cutting methods.
Our competitive rates come from efficient processes and direct supplier relationships—not from skipping steps or using inferior materials. You get professional results and lasting protection without paying for unnecessary overhead or marketing gimmicks.
Exterior warning signs include paint fading, chalking when touched, peeling or cracking surfaces, and water stains around windows and trim. Madison Heights homes should be inspected annually for these issues, especially areas facing prevailing weather.
Interior walls need attention when scuff marks won’t clean off, colors appear faded in high-traffic areas, or paint looks worn despite regular maintenance. Kitchens and bathrooms may require more frequent repainting due to moisture and temperature fluctuations.
The key is addressing problems before they become expensive structural repairs. Fresh paint protects your home’s wood and drywall from moisture damage while maintaining property value—waiting too long turns simple painting into major renovation work.
