A fresh coat isn’t just about looks. It’s about protection from Michigan’s weather extremes and maintaining the professional image that keeps customers coming back.
Your building faces snow, ice, rain, and UV exposure every year. Quality commercial exterior painting creates a barrier that prevents moisture damage, fading, and premature wear. When done right, it saves you money by extending the time between repaints and avoiding costly repairs.
The right paint job also signals to customers that you care about details and take pride in your business. First impressions matter, and a well-maintained exterior tells people they’re dealing with professionals who get things done right.
We bring over 10 years of painting experience to every commercial project in Hazel Park, MI. We’ve been operating as Legends Construction for two years, but our expertise goes back much further.
We’re a local team that understands Michigan weather and what it takes to make paint last in this climate. Our focus is simple: deliver quality work at competitive prices, so you’re satisfied enough to call us again when you need us.
We’re not the biggest crew in town, but that works in your favor. You get personal attention, direct communication, and the kind of service that only comes from people who stake their reputation on every job they complete.
We start with a detailed assessment of your building’s exterior and current paint condition. This helps us identify any prep work needed and recommend the best approach for your specific situation and budget.
Surface preparation comes next, and this is where quality separates from cheap work. We clean, scrape, sand, and prime as needed to ensure the new paint has a solid foundation. Shortcuts here lead to early failure, so we don’t take them.
Application uses weather-resistant paints designed for commercial use in Michigan’s climate. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your business while maintaining the standards that make the difference between a paint job that lasts two years versus one that lasts seven or more.

Every commercial exterior painting project includes thorough surface preparation, which means cleaning, scraping loose paint, filling cracks and holes, and priming where needed. This foundation work determines how long your paint job will last.
We use commercial-grade paints specifically chosen for Michigan’s weather patterns. These coatings resist fading from UV exposure, handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking, and provide the durability that commercial properties need.
Hazel Park’s mix of retail spaces, office buildings, and industrial properties each have different requirements. A storefront needs curb appeal that draws customers, while a warehouse needs protection that stands up to heavy use. We adjust our approach based on your building’s specific needs and the image you want to project in the community.
Timeline depends on your building’s size and condition, but most commercial exterior painting projects take 3-7 business days. Smaller retail spaces might be done in 2-3 days, while larger buildings or those needing extensive prep work can take up to two weeks.
Weather plays a role too. We need dry conditions and temperatures above 50 degrees for proper paint adhesion. Michigan’s climate gives us a good painting season from late spring through early fall, and we schedule projects to work around your business needs during these optimal months.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if weather or unexpected conditions affect the schedule. The goal is completing quality work without unnecessary delays that disrupt your operations.
Acrylic latex paints perform best in Michigan’s climate because they handle temperature swings without cracking. For commercial properties, we typically recommend 100% acrylic formulations that resist fading, chalking, and mildew growth.
Elastomeric coatings work well for buildings with minor cracks or stucco surfaces because they bridge small gaps and provide extra weather protection. These coatings are thicker and more durable but cost more upfront – the investment pays off in longer-lasting results.
The specific choice depends on your building’s material, exposure to weather, and budget. We’ll recommend options that give you the best value based on your situation, not just push the most expensive product.
Commercial exterior painting typically runs $2-6 per square foot, depending on the building’s condition, height, and complexity. A simple single-story retail space costs less per square foot than a multi-story building with detailed trim work.
Preparation work affects the price significantly. Buildings with peeling paint, surface damage, or previous poor paint jobs need more prep time, which increases the total cost. However, proper preparation is what makes the difference between a paint job that lasts 3 years versus 8 years.
We provide detailed estimates that break down labor, materials, and any additional work needed. This helps you understand exactly what you’re paying for and make informed decisions about your project scope and timeline.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior painting in Michigan. We need temperatures consistently above 50 degrees and low humidity for paint to cure properly. May through September typically provides the most reliable weather windows.
Summer months are busiest for painting contractors, so scheduling early in the season often means better availability and sometimes better pricing. Fall can work well too, but you risk weather delays as winter approaches.
We monitor weather forecasts closely and won’t start a project if conditions aren’t right for quality results. It’s better to wait a few days for good weather than rush a job that won’t last because the paint didn’t cure properly.
Yes, we understand that disruption costs you money and customers. We can work early mornings, evenings, or weekends for businesses that need to maintain normal operations during painting projects.
For retail spaces, we often schedule work during slower business hours or coordinate with your peak times to minimize impact on customer access. Industrial facilities might prefer weekend work to avoid interfering with production schedules.
The key is communication upfront about your needs and constraints. We’ll develop a work schedule that gets the job done efficiently while respecting your business requirements. Some flexibility on timing might affect project cost, but it’s often worth it to keep your operations running smoothly.
Visible signs include peeling, cracking, or chalking paint, especially on surfaces that get direct sun exposure. Fading color is another indicator – if your building looks noticeably different from when it was last painted, it’s time to consider a refresh.
Check areas around windows, doors, and trim where weather penetration typically starts. If you see bare wood or metal showing through, or if caulking is cracked and pulling away, these are priority areas that need attention before damage spreads.
Most commercial buildings need repainting every 5-10 years, depending on the original paint quality, building exposure, and maintenance. Waiting too long often means more expensive prep work because you’re dealing with damage rather than just refreshing good existing paint.
