You know what happens when paint jobs cut corners in Michigan. Peeling by spring. Fading by summer. More money out of your pocket within two years.
Here’s what changes when you work with experienced painters who understand this climate. Your exterior paint holds strong against lake effect snow, ice, and those brutal temperature swings that destroy cheap work. Your interior stays fresh longer because we use quality materials and proper prep work.
You get years of protection instead of months. Your home value stays strong. And you’re not calling painters again next season because the work actually holds up.
Legends Construction LLC brings over a decade of painting experience to St. Clair Shores. We’ve been operating as a company for two years, but our experience goes back much further.
We’re a family business – two brothers who believe in doing the job right the first time. We’ve seen what happens when painters rush through projects or use subpar materials, especially in Michigan’s tough climate.
Our approach is straightforward: quality work at competitive pricing. We’re not the cheapest option, and we’re not the most expensive. We’re the option that makes sense when you want work that lasts and contractors who show up when they say they will.
We start with an honest assessment of your project. You’ll get a clear estimate that covers everything – no hidden costs or surprise additions halfway through.
Prep work comes first because it’s what separates paint jobs that last from ones that fail. We handle surface cleaning, scraping, priming, and any repairs your surfaces need before the first coat goes on.
Then we apply quality paint using proven techniques. We work efficiently but never rush the process. Each coat gets proper drying time, and we don’t consider the job done until you’re satisfied with the results. Clean-up is part of the service – your property looks better than when we started.

We handle both interior and exterior house painting for St. Clair Shores residents. Exterior work includes siding, trim, decks, and any outdoor surfaces that need protection from Michigan weather.
Interior projects range from single rooms to whole-house repaints. We work around your schedule and take steps to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Drop cloths, careful masking, and proper ventilation are standard on every interior job.
St. Clair Shores homes face unique challenges from lake proximity and seasonal weather extremes. We choose paints and primers specifically rated for these conditions. Your investment in professional painting pays off in longer-lasting results and fewer maintenance headaches down the road.
Quality exterior paint should last 7-10 years in St. Clair Shores when applied correctly. The lake proximity and Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles can be tough on paint, but proper surface prep and quality materials make the difference.
We see paint jobs fail early when contractors skip prep work or use cheaper paint to keep bids low. Proper cleaning, scraping, priming, and using paint rated for Michigan’s climate conditions extends the life significantly. The upfront investment in doing it right saves money long-term.
Our estimates cover all labor, materials, surface preparation, and cleanup. You’ll see line items for paint, primer, supplies, and the specific work we’re doing on your project.
We don’t add surprise charges for “unexpected” prep work that any experienced painter should anticipate. If we discover something unusual during the job that wasn’t visible during the estimate, we discuss it with you before proceeding. Most St. Clair Shores homes have predictable needs that we account for upfront.
Interior painting continues year-round, but exterior work depends on temperature and weather conditions. Most exterior paint requires temperatures above 50 degrees for proper application and curing.
We typically schedule exterior projects from late spring through early fall when conditions are ideal. However, we can handle urgent exterior repairs during warmer winter days if needed. Interior projects actually work well during colder months when you’re spending more time indoors anyway.
We move smaller furniture and belongings to the center of rooms and cover everything with drop cloths. Large furniture that can’t be moved gets wrapped and protected.
You don’t need to empty rooms completely, but removing personal items and fragile decorations helps us work more efficiently. We use high-quality drop cloths and plastic sheeting to protect floors, and we’re careful with your belongings. Clean-up includes removing all protective materials and putting furniture back where it belongs.
We use premium paint brands specifically rated for Michigan’s climate conditions. This typically means paints with superior adhesion, flexibility for temperature changes, and resistance to moisture and UV damage.
The specific brand depends on your project needs and budget, but we don’t compromise on quality for exterior work. Cheap paint might save money upfront, but it costs more when you need to repaint sooner. We’ll discuss paint options during your estimate and explain why certain products work better for St. Clair Shores conditions.
Most single-family homes in St. Clair Shores take 3-5 days for exterior painting and 2-4 days for interior rooms, depending on size and prep work needed. Weather can extend exterior timelines.
We provide realistic timeframes during estimates and keep you updated on progress. Rush jobs often mean cut corners, so we schedule enough time to do the work properly. Interior projects can often be completed room by room to minimize disruption to your household routine.
