Your home looks sharp again. The peeling, faded paint that made you cringe every time you pulled into the driveway is gone, replaced with a clean, protective finish that handles whatever Michigan weather throws at it.
You’re not just covering up problems anymore. Quality paint application means fewer touch-ups, less maintenance, and real protection for your biggest investment. In Pontiac’s appreciating housing market, where home values have jumped 9.66% in just the last year, maintaining your property’s appearance isn’t optional.
The right painting contractor does more than slap paint on walls. We prep surfaces properly, use materials that last, and finish on schedule so your life gets back to normal fast.
Legends Construction LLC brings over a decade of painting experience to Pontiac homeowners who need work done right the first time. We’ve been serving the community for two years, built on a foundation of quality craftsmanship and competitive pricing.
This is a family operation. Two brothers who understand that your home is your biggest investment and your reputation in the neighborhood matters. We’ve seen what happens when painting jobs go wrong, and we’ve built our business around making sure that doesn’t happen to you.
Pontiac’s housing stock tells a story – nearly half the homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s. These homes need contractors who understand how to work with older construction, proper surface preparation, and materials that hold up to Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles.
First, we assess your project and provide a clear estimate. No surprises, no hidden costs. You know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.
Surface preparation comes next – the step that separates lasting paint jobs from ones that fail in two years. Scraping, sanding, priming, and addressing any underlying issues. This isn’t the glamorous part, but it’s what makes everything else work.
Then comes the actual painting. Quality materials applied with the right techniques, working efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Clean up happens as we go, and we don’t consider the job complete until you’re satisfied with every detail.

Interior and exterior painting for residential and commercial properties. Kitchen walls, living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms – spaces where you spend your time deserve professional attention to detail.
Exterior work includes siding, trim, doors, and any surface that faces Pontiac’s weather. Michigan’s climate is tough on paint – temperature swings, ice, snow, and summer heat all take their toll. The right paint system and proper application techniques make the difference between a paint job that lasts three years and one that protects your home for a decade.
Commercial painting services for local businesses who need professional appearance and minimal downtime. Offices, retail spaces, and other commercial properties where first impressions matter and business can’t stop for lengthy renovations.
Most residential exterior painting projects in Pontiac take 3-5 days, depending on home size and weather conditions. Michigan’s climate means we plan around temperature and humidity requirements – paint needs proper conditions to cure correctly.
Preparation often takes as long as the actual painting. Older homes, which make up nearly half of Pontiac’s housing stock, usually need extra surface prep work. This includes scraping old paint, addressing wood rot, and ensuring proper adhesion for the new finish.
We schedule projects to minimize weather delays and keep you informed throughout the process. If conditions aren’t right for painting, we’ll wait rather than compromise the quality of your investment.
High-quality acrylic latex paints perform best in Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles. These paints expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking or peeling. Cheaper paints might save money upfront but typically fail within 2-3 years in our climate.
For exterior work, we use paints with built-in primer and mildew resistance. Michigan’s humidity and temperature swings create perfect conditions for paint failure if you don’t use the right materials. The initial investment in quality paint pays for itself through longer-lasting results.
Interior projects allow for more variety, but we still recommend paints that resist fading and clean easily. Homes with older heating systems can have temperature fluctuations that affect paint performance, so material selection matters even indoors.
Yes, we specialize in working with Pontiac’s older housing stock. Nearly 43% of the city’s homes were built between 1940-1960, and these properties require specific techniques and materials for successful painting projects.
Older homes often have lead paint concerns, multiple layers of previous paint, and surface preparation challenges. We follow proper procedures for lead-safe work practices and know how to address common issues like wood rot, caulking failures, and surface irregularities.
The key is understanding how these homes were built and what they need to perform well today. Proper preparation and material selection can give an older home a paint job that lasts just as long as work on newer construction.
Pricing depends on surface area, preparation requirements, paint quality, and project complexity. We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor, materials, and any additional work needed.
Preparation requirements vary significantly, especially on older homes. A house that needs extensive scraping, priming, and repair work costs more than one with surfaces in good condition. We inspect thoroughly and explain exactly what’s included in your estimate.
We focus on competitive pricing for quality work rather than being the cheapest option. The goal is providing value – work that lasts longer and looks better, completed by experienced professionals who show up when scheduled and finish on time.
Interior painting continues year-round, but exterior work has temperature and humidity requirements. Most exterior paints need temperatures above 50°F and low humidity for proper curing.
Winter is actually an excellent time for interior projects. Homes are closed up, humidity is lower, and scheduling is often more flexible. We can complete interior work without weather delays and have your home ready for spring.
For exterior work, we monitor weather forecasts carefully and schedule projects during suitable conditions. Michigan’s unpredictable weather means flexibility is essential – we’d rather reschedule than compromise the quality of your paint job.
Yes, we provide both residential and commercial painting services throughout Pontiac. Residential work includes everything from single rooms to complete interior and exterior repaints.
Commercial projects require different scheduling and materials. Businesses need minimal disruption, often working around operating hours or seasonal schedules. We understand the importance of professional appearance for commercial properties and plan projects accordingly.
Whether it’s your home or your business, the same attention to quality and customer satisfaction applies. We’ve built our reputation on completing projects on time, within budget, and to the standards that earn repeat business from satisfied customers.
