Legends Construction LLC brings over a decade of painting experience to Pontiac homeowners. We’ve operated as a family business for two years, built on a simple principle: do exceptional work so customers call you again.
We understand what Michigan weather does to paint. Freeze-thaw cycles. Summer humidity. UV damage. That’s why we choose materials specifically for this climate, not whatever’s cheapest.
As local contractors who live here year-round, we know which shortcuts fail and which methods last. Your project isn’t practice – it’s our reputation in the community we call home.
We start with an honest assessment of your home’s condition and your goals. You get a detailed estimate with everything spelled out – no hidden fees or surprise charges later.
Surface preparation determines whether your paint job lasts two years or ten. Power washing, scraping loose areas, filling holes, proper priming. We don’t rush this step because it matters most.
Application uses the right method for each surface – brushes for detail work, rollers for larger flat areas, sprayers when appropriate. Quality paints chosen specifically for Michigan’s climate challenges.
Final walkthrough ensures every detail meets our standards before we consider the job complete. Your satisfaction determines our reputation.

Interior painting transforms your living spaces with colors that actually reflect your style. Single rooms or whole-house projects, we handle walls, ceilings, trim, and doors with the attention to detail that makes the difference.
Exterior house painting protects your investment from Pontiac’s weather extremes. Wood siding needs different preparation than stucco or fiber cement – we know the differences and prepare accordingly.
Commercial painting services available for local businesses needing professional results on schedule. Experience with both residential and commercial projects means we adapt to different requirements without compromising quality.
Every project includes thorough surface preparation, weather-appropriate materials, and professional application techniques that ensure lasting results in Michigan’s challenging climate.
Quality exterior paint should last 5-7 years in Pontiac, though Michigan’s harsh weather often reduces this to 4-6 years depending on exposure. The difference comes down to surface preparation and using paints designed for weather resistance, not just what looks good in the store.
Wood siding typically needs repainting sooner than fiber cement or vinyl. South and west-facing walls take the most abuse from sun and storms. But proper prep work and quality materials can extend your paint job’s life significantly.
The real question isn’t how long paint lasts – it’s whether you want to repaint every few years because corners were cut, or invest in quality work that protects your home properly.
Late spring through early fall provides the most consistent weather windows in Michigan. You need temperatures between 50-85°F with low humidity for proper paint curing. Rain within 24 hours of application can ruin a paint job.
May through September typically offers the best conditions, but experienced contractors can often work successfully in shoulder seasons when weather cooperates. The key is flexibility and knowing when conditions are right.
Planning ahead helps secure better scheduling and sometimes better pricing. Contractors’ schedules fill up during prime season, so early planning gives you more options.
Real surface preparation starts with power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. Then scraping any remaining loose or peeling areas, followed by sanding rough spots smooth for proper paint adhesion.
Holes and cracks get filled with appropriate materials – wood filler for wood surfaces, quality caulk for gaps around trim. Finally, proper primer goes on before any finish paint. This process takes time but determines whether your investment lasts.
Skipping preparation steps is the fastest way to paint failure, especially in Michigan’s climate. The difference between a two-year paint job and a ten-year paint job happens before the first drop of finish paint goes on.
Home size drives base costs, but condition matters more than square footage. Homes needing extensive prep work cost more than well-maintained surfaces ready for paint. It’s the difference between painting and restoration.
Paint quality affects both upfront cost and long-term value. Premium paints cost more initially but often last longer and look better. Cheap paint is expensive when you’re repainting every few years.
Height and accessibility impact labor time significantly. Single-story homes cost less per square foot than two-story homes requiring ladders and scaffolding. Complex architectural details also increase time and cost.
Yes, we handle complete interior and exterior painting for residential properties, plus some commercial work. Interior projects range from refreshing single rooms to whole-house transformations, including walls, ceilings, trim, and doors.
Exterior services cover all surfaces – siding, trim, shutters, doors, and decks. Different materials require different approaches. Wood, vinyl, stucco, and fiber cement each have specific preparation and paint requirements.
Having experience with both interior and exterior work means we can handle complete home makeovers efficiently. When you’re ready for a total refresh, one contractor can coordinate the entire project.
Local contractors understand Pontiac’s specific climate challenges and what works here. We know which paint products actually perform in Michigan weather, not just what manufacturers claim.
Response time matters when you need service. As local contractors, we can address touch-ups, warranty issues, or new projects quickly. We’re not coming from across the state – we’re right here in the community.
As a family-owned business, we provide personal attention to each project. Your job isn’t just another number in our system – it’s our reputation on the line in our own neighborhood where we live and work.
