Hear from Our Customers
Your building’s exterior is working 24/7—either for you or against you. Fresh, professional paint doesn’t just make your property look better. It tells potential customers you care about details, you’re established, and you’re worth their time.
When your exterior looks sharp, people notice. They trust you more before they even walk in. That’s not marketing fluff—that’s how business works in New Baltimore, where competition is real and first impressions matter.
The right paint job also protects your building from Michigan’s tough weather. Less maintenance, fewer repairs, and a professional appearance that lasts. That’s what quality commercial exterior painting delivers.
Legends Construction LLC has been serving New Baltimore businesses for two years, backed by over 10 years of painting experience. We’re not a massive operation—just two brothers who take every project personally.
We understand New Baltimore’s waterfront climate and what it takes to make paint last here. From retail storefronts along Jefferson Avenue to warehouses near the marina, we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t.
Our approach is straightforward: quality work at fair prices, finished when we say it will be. No surprises, no excuses. We’re building our reputation one satisfied customer at a time, and that means your project gets our full attention.
We start with a detailed walkthrough of your property. Not a quick glance—a real assessment of your building’s condition, surface preparation needs, and any specific challenges.
You’ll get a clear, written estimate that breaks down exactly what we’re doing and why. No hidden costs or surprise charges later. We schedule the work around your business hours whenever possible, because we know downtime costs you money.
Surface preparation comes first—pressure washing, scraping, and priming where needed. Then we apply quality paint in thin, even coats that actually last. We clean up completely and walk through the finished work with you to make sure everything meets your standards.

Every commercial exterior painting project includes thorough surface preparation, premium-grade exterior paint, and complete cleanup. We handle everything from small office buildings to larger retail spaces and warehouses.
New Baltimore’s location near Lake St. Clair means your building faces salt air, winter freeze-thaw cycles, and summer heat. We use paints specifically chosen for Michigan’s climate—products that resist fading, chalking, and moisture damage.
We also coordinate with your schedule. Early morning starts, weekend work, or phased completion to keep your business running. Most projects take 2-5 days depending on size and weather, and we’ll give you realistic timelines upfront—not optimistic guesses that leave you hanging.
Commercial exterior painting typically runs $2-4 per square foot for most New Baltimore businesses, but the real cost depends on your building’s condition and prep work needed. A small office might cost $3,000-5,000, while larger retail spaces often run $8,000-15,000.
The biggest cost factors are surface preparation and paint quality. Buildings with peeling paint, wood rot, or previous coating failures need more prep work. But doing it right the first time saves money long-term—cheap paint jobs often need redoing within 3-4 years.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor, materials, and prep work so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises or change orders unless you request additional work.
Late spring through early fall gives us the best conditions—typically May through October in New Baltimore. We need temperatures above 50°F and low humidity for paint to cure properly.
Summer can be ideal, but we often start early morning to avoid afternoon heat that makes paint dry too fast. Fall is actually excellent because temperatures are stable and humidity drops. We avoid winter painting unless it’s an emergency repair.
Weather can change plans quickly in Michigan, so we build some flexibility into scheduling. We’ll give you a realistic timeline and keep you updated if conditions delay the work.
Quality commercial exterior paint should last 7-10 years in New Baltimore’s climate when applied correctly. Buildings facing Lake St. Clair or getting heavy sun exposure might need touch-ups sooner—around 5-7 years.
The key factors are surface preparation and paint quality. Properly prepped surfaces with premium paint can go a decade or more. Rushed jobs with cheap materials often start failing within 3-4 years, especially on wood siding or trim.
Buildings with good drainage, minimal wood exposure, and quality initial prep work last longest. We use paints specifically rated for Michigan weather—products that resist UV damage, moisture, and temperature swings.
Absolutely. We understand that closing your business costs money, so we work with your schedule whenever possible. Many commercial jobs happen early mornings, evenings, or weekends to avoid peak business hours.
For retail spaces, we can often work on sections of the building while you stay open. Office buildings might get painted evenings or weekends. We discuss your specific needs during the estimate and plan accordingly.
Some prep work like pressure washing might need to happen when you’re closed due to noise and water. But the actual painting can usually be scheduled around your operations. We’ll coordinate with you throughout the project to minimize any impact on your customers or employees.
Yes, proper surface preparation is included in every commercial painting project. This typically includes pressure washing, scraping loose paint, filling cracks and holes, and priming bare surfaces.
For buildings with significant damage—rotted wood, failing caulk, or structural issues—we’ll identify these problems during our initial assessment and provide separate pricing for repairs. Most surface prep is standard, but major repairs are quoted separately so you know the full scope.
We don’t cut corners on prep work because it’s what makes paint last. A building that’s properly cleaned and primed will hold paint 2-3 times longer than one that’s just painted over existing problems.
We use premium exterior paints specifically designed for Michigan’s climate—typically Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore commercial-grade products. These paints resist fading, chalking, and moisture better than standard paints.
For most commercial buildings, we recommend 100% acrylic latex paint. It’s durable, flexible enough to handle temperature changes, and provides excellent adhesion. For metal surfaces like steel doors or trim, we use alkyd or specialty metal paints.
The specific product depends on your building’s materials and exposure. A lakefront restaurant needs different paint than an inland office building. We select products based on your specific conditions and budget, always prioritizing longevity over initial cost savings.
