Your Fraser home faces brutal Michigan weather every day. Snow loads, ice storms, blazing summer heat, and humidity that never seems to quit.
When we finish your exterior painting project, you get more than a fresh look. You get real weather protection that holds up year after year. Your neighbors notice the difference. Your property value increases. And you sleep better knowing your biggest investment is properly protected.
The proof shows up in how your paint job looks after two winters while others in the neighborhood are already fading and peeling. That’s what happens when you choose exterior painting services that understand Fraser’s climate challenges.
Legends Construction LLC has been protecting Fraser homes for over 10 years. We’re the family-owned exterior painting company that actually shows up when we say we will and does the work right the first time.
You won’t find us making big promises we can’t keep. We focus on two things: quality workmanship and fair pricing. Our goal is making you so happy with our work that you call us again when you need painting services.
Fraser homeowners face unique challenges with Michigan’s weather extremes. We’ve learned what works and what doesn’t through years of painting homes just like yours in Macomb County.
We start by walking your Fraser property together. You tell us your vision, we assess what needs to be done, and you get a detailed estimate that covers everything. No surprises or hidden costs later.
The real work starts with preparation – power washing, scraping loose paint, sanding rough spots, caulking gaps, and priming bare areas. This foundation work separates professional results from weekend warrior paint jobs that fail in two years.
Then we apply high-quality exterior paints designed specifically for Michigan weather. Large surfaces get airless spray application for perfect coverage. Trim and detail work gets careful brush and roller treatment. We finish with a complete walkthrough to make sure every detail meets your standards.

Our exterior painting services cover everything your Fraser home needs. Siding, trim, doors, shutters, garage doors – any exterior surface that needs attention gets the same professional treatment.
Fraser’s location means your home deals with the full force of Michigan weather. We use acrylic latex paints for flexibility and fade resistance, plus alkyd paints where extra durability matters. Every material choice is made specifically for homes that swing from below-zero winters to 90+ degree summers.
Most Fraser exterior paint jobs last 7-10 years when done properly. But Michigan’s harsh climate can cut that to 4-6 years with poor prep work or cheap materials. We focus on doing it right because we want your investment to last as long as possible.
Quality exterior paint should last 7-10 years on Fraser homes when applied properly with good materials. Michigan’s harsh climate can reduce that to 4-6 years if corners are cut during preparation or cheap paints are used.
The biggest factors affecting longevity are thorough surface prep, using paints designed for temperature extremes, and proper application. We see paint failures most often when contractors skip prep work or use bargain-grade paints that can’t handle Fraser’s weather swings.
Your home’s exposure matters too. South and west-facing sides get more sun and weather, so they typically need attention sooner than protected areas.
Late spring through early fall gives you the best conditions for exterior painting in Fraser. We typically recommend scheduling between May and September when temperatures are moderate and humidity is manageable.
Perfect painting weather means temperatures between 50-85 degrees, low humidity, and no rain forecast for at least 24 hours. Michigan’s unpredictable spring weather keeps us flexible with scheduling and watching forecasts closely.
Summer can work despite higher humidity, but we avoid extreme heat or approaching storms. Proper paint curing needs stable conditions, and rushing the job because of weather usually causes problems later.
Preparation makes or breaks exterior paint jobs in Fraser’s climate. We start with power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. This step alone determines how well new paint adheres to your home.
Next comes scraping remaining loose paint, sanding rough spots smooth, and caulking gaps around windows, doors, and trim. Those gaps let moisture penetrate, which destroys paint jobs in Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Finally, we prime all bare wood, metal, or patched areas with high-adhesion primer. This creates the foundation your topcoat needs for maximum durability and even coverage.
High-quality acrylic latex paints work best for most Fraser homes because they flex with temperature changes without cracking. This flexibility is crucial when your home goes from sub-zero winters to hot summers.
For surfaces that take extra punishment – front doors, shutters, heavy sun exposure areas – we sometimes use alkyd (oil-based) paints for superior durability. These cure harder and resist wear better than latex.
We don’t use the same paint everywhere because different areas face different challenges. Matching paint type to surface and exposure is part of doing the job right.
Most Fraser homeowners invest $3,000-$7,000 for professional exterior painting, depending on home size, current condition, and stories. Ranch homes typically cost less than two-story colonials because of access and surface area differences.
The biggest cost factors are prep work needed and material quality chosen. Homes with extensive peeling or wood damage require more preparation time. Higher-quality paints cost more upfront but last longer, making them better value.
Our estimates break down labor, materials, and additional work so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises or hidden costs after we start.
Yes, we stand behind our exterior painting work with warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Specific terms depend on your project scope and materials used, but we typically offer multi-year coverage.
Our warranty covers premature peeling, cracking, or fading when the failure stems from our workmanship or material defects. Normal wear or extreme weather damage isn’t covered, but we’re always available to discuss maintenance or touch-ups.
We keep detailed records of every job including paint types, colors, and application dates. This makes warranty service and future maintenance easier for everyone involved.
