Your paint job should look great next spring, not start peeling after one freeze-thaw cycle. That’s exactly what happens when painters skip the prep work or use the wrong materials for Michigan’s climate.
We use weather-resistant application methods specifically designed for Novi’s conditions. Our paints flex with temperature changes instead of cracking. The result is a finish that protects your investment and maintains its appearance year after year.
You get the peace of mind that comes with hiring contractors who understand what it takes to make paint last in Michigan. No surprises, no callbacks, no excuses.
Legends Construction brings over 10 years of hands-on painting experience to every project in Novi. We’re a family-owned operation run by two brothers who’ve built our reputation on quality workmanship and competitive pricing.
We handle everything from interior touch-ups to complete exterior makeovers, both residential and commercial. What sets us apart is simple: we show up, do the work right, and price it fairly.
Novi homeowners deal with enough contractor headaches. We focus on being the exception – reliable, skilled, and committed to earning your business for the next project too.
Every quality paint job starts with proper preparation. We begin by thoroughly cleaning and inspecting all surfaces, identifying any issues that could affect the final result. This includes scraping loose paint, filling cracks, and sanding rough areas.
Next comes priming with products specifically chosen for your surface type and Novi’s climate conditions. We use weather-resistant primers that create a strong foundation for the topcoat. Only then do we apply the finish coats, using techniques that ensure even coverage and durability.
Throughout the process, we protect your property and clean up daily. You’ll know exactly what’s happening and when. By the time we’re finished, you’ll have a paint job that looks professional and lasts through Michigan’s weather extremes.

Our painting services cover everything Novi property owners need. Interior work includes walls, ceilings, trim, and specialty finishes. We handle single rooms or whole-house projects with the same attention to detail.
For exterior projects, we specialize in the prep work that makes the difference in Michigan. This means proper surface preparation, weather-appropriate materials, and application techniques that account for Novi’s temperature swings and moisture levels.
Commercial clients get the same quality approach with added focus on minimizing business disruption. We work around your schedule and complete projects efficiently without cutting corners. Whether you need a retail refresh or office update, we deliver professional results that reflect well on your business.
A properly executed exterior paint job in Novi should last 7-10 years, sometimes longer depending on the surface and exposure. The key is using the right materials and application methods for Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles.
We use paints formulated to flex with temperature changes rather than crack. Proper surface preparation is equally important – any existing issues need to be addressed before new paint goes on. Shortcuts during prep work are the main reason paint fails early in our climate.
The investment in doing it right the first time pays off in longevity. You’ll spend less over time compared to redoing cheap work every few years.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior painting in Novi. We typically recommend scheduling between May and September when temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees and humidity levels are manageable.
However, timing isn’t just about weather. Many homeowners wait until summer, creating scheduling bottlenecks. Planning your project for late spring or early fall often means better availability and sometimes better pricing.
We can work in cooler conditions when necessary, but optimal temperature and humidity ranges produce the best results. The key is avoiding extreme heat, high humidity, and any chance of frost during the curing period.
Older homes in Novi often require extra attention during preparation, especially around areas with existing paint buildup or weather damage. We start with a thorough inspection to identify any underlying issues that could affect the new paint job.
This typically involves scraping loose or peeling paint, filling cracks and holes, and sanding rough surfaces smooth. For homes with multiple paint layers, we may need to strip sections back to bare wood or siding. Any rotted or damaged material gets repaired or replaced before painting begins.
The goal is creating a clean, stable surface for the new paint. While this prep work takes time, it’s what separates a professional job from a quick cover-up that fails within a year or two.
Yes, we can match existing colors for touch-ups, additions, or partial repaints. The process involves taking a sample of the current paint to our supplier for computer matching. This works well for colors that aren’t too faded or weathered.
For exterior colors that have been exposed to UV rays for several years, we may recommend painting a larger section to avoid noticeable color differences. Sometimes the “matched” color looks different next to weathered paint even when it’s technically correct.
We’ll discuss the best approach during our initial consultation. In some cases, a planned color change might be more cost-effective than trying to perfectly match faded existing paint across different surfaces.
We use high-quality paints specifically formulated for climates like Michigan’s. For exteriors, this means 100% acrylic latex paints that remain flexible through temperature swings and resist moisture penetration. These paints expand and contract with your siding rather than cracking.
Interior paints are chosen based on the specific room and use. High-traffic areas get more durable finishes, while bedrooms might use standard wall paint. We always use low-VOC or zero-VOC products when possible for better indoor air quality.
Brand selection depends on the specific project requirements, but we stick with proven manufacturers that offer solid warranties. The key is matching the paint type to the surface and conditions it will face, not just choosing the cheapest option available.
Yes, we provide free estimates for all painting projects in Novi and surrounding areas. The estimate includes a detailed breakdown of materials, labor, and timeline so you know exactly what you’re getting.
We prefer to see the project in person rather than guessing over the phone. This allows us to identify any potential issues and provide an accurate quote. Most estimates can be scheduled within a few days and completed during a 30-minute visit.
Our estimates are straightforward without hidden fees or surprise charges. What we quote is what you pay, assuming no major changes to the scope of work. We’ll discuss any potential additional costs upfront so there are no surprises when the project is complete.
