Hear from Our Customers
Your building’s exterior is working against you when paint starts cracking, fading, or peeling. In New Haven’s climate, that happens faster than you’d like. Professional commercial exterior painting doesn’t just make your property look better—it protects your investment from moisture damage, UV degradation, and the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy inferior paint jobs.
When customers drive by your business, they’re making split-second judgments about your professionalism and quality. Fresh, properly applied exterior paint signals that you care about details and maintain your property. That translates directly into customer confidence and, ultimately, more business walking through your doors.
The right commercial painting contractor understands that your business can’t shut down for weeks while paint dries. We work around your schedule, use proven techniques that minimize disruption, and deliver results that last years longer than typical paint jobs.
Legends Construction LLC has been serving New Haven and surrounding Macomb County areas for two years, built on over ten years of painting industry experience. As a family-owned business run by two brothers, we understand that our reputation depends on every single job we complete.
We’ve seen what happens when commercial properties get painted by contractors who cut corners or don’t understand Michigan’s demanding climate. That’s why we focus on proper surface preparation, quality materials, and techniques that stand up to harsh winters and humid summers.
Our goal isn’t just to paint your building—it’s to make you so satisfied with our work that you’ll call us again and recommend us to other business owners in New Haven. We’re expanding our crew because demand for quality commercial painting is growing, and we’re committed to meeting that demand without compromising our standards.
We start with a thorough assessment of your building’s exterior, identifying any surface issues that need attention before painting begins. This includes checking for cracks, peeling paint, or areas where moisture might be getting in. We provide a detailed estimate that breaks down exactly what work needs to be done and why.
Surface preparation is where most painting projects succeed or fail. We clean surfaces properly, repair any damage, and prime areas that need it. This isn’t the glamorous part of the job, but it’s what makes the difference between paint that lasts two years and paint that lasts ten.
The actual painting process is scheduled to minimize disruption to your business operations. We can work around your busy hours, focus on one section at a time, or coordinate with your schedule to ensure customers and employees aren’t inconvenienced. Throughout the project, you’ll get regular updates on progress and any issues we discover.
After completion, we walk through the entire job with you to ensure every detail meets our standards and your expectations. Our goal is to leave you with a building that looks professional, protects your investment, and makes you proud to show customers where you do business.

Commercial exterior painting in New Haven requires understanding how Michigan weather affects different building materials. We use high-quality paints and coatings specifically designed to handle freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and the humidity that comes with being near the Great Lakes region.
For retail spaces, office buildings, and industrial facilities, we select paint systems that provide maximum durability while maintaining the professional appearance your business needs. This includes elastomeric coatings for masonry surfaces, specialized primers for metal buildings, and fade-resistant topcoats that keep colors looking fresh for years.
New Haven’s growing business community includes everything from small retail shops to larger commercial facilities. We’ve worked on various commercial properties and understand that each building has unique requirements based on its construction, exposure, and use. Whether you need a complete exterior refresh or targeted repairs to problem areas, we tailor our approach to deliver the best long-term results for your specific situation.
Most commercial exterior painting projects in New Haven take between 3-10 business days, depending on building size and weather conditions. We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards, and we can often phase the work to minimize disruption to your operations.
For smaller retail spaces or office buildings, we might complete the job in 3-5 days. Larger facilities or buildings requiring extensive surface preparation may take 7-10 days. We always provide a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if weather or unexpected issues affect our schedule.
The key is proper planning. We coordinate with you to understand your business needs and schedule the work during your least disruptive times when possible.
Michigan’s climate demands high-performance paint systems that can handle extreme temperature swings, UV exposure, and moisture. We typically recommend 100% acrylic latex paints for most surfaces, with elastomeric coatings for masonry and stucco.
For metal surfaces common in commercial buildings, we use specialized primers that prevent rust and topcoats formulated to resist fading and chalking. The specific paint system depends on your building materials, exposure, and budget, but we never compromise on quality for short-term savings.
Quality paint costs more upfront but saves money over time by lasting longer and requiring fewer touch-ups. We’ll explain your options and help you choose the system that provides the best value for your specific situation.
We understand that your business can’t shut down while we paint. Our approach focuses on careful scheduling, clear communication, and working in phases when necessary to keep your operations running smoothly.
Before starting, we discuss your business hours, peak times, and any special considerations. We can work early mornings, evenings, or weekends if that works better for your schedule. For larger buildings, we often work on one section at a time so customers and employees can still access other areas.
We also use drop cloths and barriers to contain dust and debris, choose low-odor paint products when possible, and coordinate with you on any temporary signage or access changes needed during the work.
Yes, we provide detailed free estimates for all commercial exterior painting projects in New Haven and surrounding areas. Our estimates break down labor, materials, and any surface preparation work needed so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
During the estimate process, we inspect your building thoroughly, discuss your goals and timeline, and answer any questions about the project. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden costs or surprise charges.
We typically provide estimates within 2-3 business days of our initial visit, and we’re always available to explain any aspect of the proposal or discuss alternatives that might better fit your budget or needs.
Most commercial buildings in New Haven need exterior repainting every 7-12 years, depending on the building materials, paint quality, and exposure to weather. Buildings with southern or western exposure typically need repainting more frequently due to UV damage.
Signs it’s time to repaint include fading colors, chalking paint, visible cracks or peeling, or areas where the underlying surface is showing through. Addressing these issues promptly prevents more expensive repairs later and maintains your professional appearance.
Regular maintenance like power washing and minor touch-ups can extend the life of a paint job. We recommend annual inspections to catch small problems before they become major issues that require complete repainting.
We’re a family-owned business with over ten years of painting experience, focused on building long-term relationships rather than just completing jobs. Our goal is to make you so satisfied that you’ll call us for future projects and recommend us to other New Haven business owners.
We understand Michigan’s climate challenges and use proven techniques and quality materials that perform well in our harsh conditions. We’re also expanding our crew to meet growing demand while maintaining the personal attention and quality standards that set us apart.
Most importantly, we communicate clearly throughout every project, work around your business needs, and stand behind our work. When you hire Legends Construction, you’re getting experienced professionals who care about your success as much as our own.
