How We Handle Your Exterior Project

First, we assess your home’s current condition and discuss what you want to achieve. No generic estimates – we look at your specific siding, trim, and any problem areas that need attention.

Preparation comes next, and this is where most painting jobs succeed or fail. We power wash when needed, scrape away failing paint, caulk gaps, and replace any rotted wood. Michigan weather is tough on exteriors, so we don’t skip steps.

Then we prime and paint with materials designed to handle everything from summer heat to winter freeze-thaw cycles. Multiple coats when necessary, proper drying time between applications, and attention to details like trim work and window frames.

What's Included in Your Paint Job

Complete surface preparation including power washing, scraping, sanding, and caulking. We replace damaged wood and trim before any paint touches your home.

High-quality exterior paints specifically chosen for Michigan’s climate challenges. These aren’t the bargain paints that fail after two seasons – we use materials that protect against moisture, UV damage, and temperature swings.

Chesterfield homes face unique weather patterns near the lake. Our paint selection and application methods account for humidity, wind-driven rain, and the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy inferior paint jobs. You get protection that actually works in this environment.

How often should I repaint my home's exterior in Chesterfield?

Most homes in Chesterfield need exterior painting every 5-10 years, but it depends on your siding material and paint quality. Wood siding typically needs repainting every 3-7 years because it’s more vulnerable to moisture and temperature changes.Signs it’s time include peeling, fading, or chalking paint. Don’t wait until you see bare wood – that’s when expensive repairs start. Michigan’s weather is particularly hard on exterior paint, so using quality materials from the start extends the time between paint jobs.

What's the best time of year for exterior painting in Michigan?

Late spring through early fall works best – typically May through October. You want temperatures above 50°F and low humidity for proper paint adhesion and drying.Avoid painting during Michigan’s unpredictable spring storms or when winter weather threatens. Paint needs several days of good weather to cure properly. Summer can work, but we avoid the hottest days when paint dries too quickly and doesn’t flow smoothly.We plan projects around weather forecasts and have backup dates ready. Better to wait for good conditions than rush a job that won’t last.

How do you prepare exterior surfaces before painting?

Proper preparation determines how long your paint job lasts. We start with power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. Then we scrape and sand any remaining failing paint down to solid surfaces.Next comes caulking gaps around windows, doors, and trim. Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles open these gaps, letting moisture behind the paint. We also replace any rotted wood or damaged trim before priming.The primer step is crucial – it seals the surface and helps paint adhere properly. We use high-quality primers matched to your siding material and the topcoat paint. No shortcuts here because this foundation work determines everything that follows.

What type of paint works best for Michigan weather?

100% acrylic latex paints perform best in Michigan’s climate. They’re flexible enough to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking, and they resist moisture better than other formulations.Look for paints with UV protection and mildew resistance. Michigan homes deal with intense summer sun, high humidity, and moisture from rain and snow. Quality exterior paints include additives that handle these challenges.We avoid cheap paints that seem like a bargain upfront. They fade quickly, don’t protect your siding, and need replacement sooner. Investing in quality paint saves money long-term and keeps your home looking better longer.

How long does an exterior painting project typically take?

Most residential exterior painting projects take 3-7 days depending on home size, condition, and weather. Larger homes or those needing extensive prep work take longer.Weather delays are common in Michigan – we won’t paint in rain, high winds, or extreme temperatures. It’s better to wait for good conditions than compromise the quality of your paint job.We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated on progress. Rush jobs usually mean cut corners, and that shows up as peeling paint within a couple years. We’d rather do it right the first time.

Do you provide warranties on your exterior painting work?

Yes, we stand behind our work because we use quality materials and proper application methods. Our warranty covers paint failure, peeling, and adhesion problems when they result from our workmanship.Normal wear and fading over time aren’t covered – that’s expected with any paint job. But if paint fails prematurely due to improper preparation or application, we’ll make it right.We keep detailed records of materials used and application methods for each project. This helps us track performance and continuously improve our processes. Quality work backed by a solid warranty gives you confidence in your investment.
