Hear from Our Customers
Your building’s exterior is working 24/7—either drawing customers in or driving them away. When your commercial property looks fresh and well-maintained, people notice. They trust you more. They choose you over competitors whose buildings look tired and neglected.
A quality commercial exterior painting job does more than change colors. It protects your building from Michigan’s harsh weather, prevents costly repairs, and can boost your property value significantly. Most importantly, it sends the right message about your business before customers even walk through the door.
The difference between a paint job that lasts three years and one that looks professional for a decade comes down to preparation, materials, and technique. You get what you pay for—but you shouldn’t have to overpay for quality work.
Legends Construction LLC brings over 10 years of painting experience to Birmingham’s commercial properties. We’re not a massive corporation with rotating crews—we’re a family business run by two brothers who’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time.
We understand Birmingham’s unique character. This isn’t just another suburb—it’s a community where businesses take pride in their appearance and customers notice the details. Your commercial property needs to reflect that standard.
Our approach is straightforward: quality work at competitive prices, with the goal of earning your trust for future projects. We’ve been serving Macomb and Oakland Counties long enough to know what works and what doesn’t in Michigan’s climate.
Every commercial exterior painting project starts with an honest assessment of your building’s condition and your business needs. We’ll walk the property with you, discuss timing that minimizes disruption, and provide a clear estimate with no hidden fees.
Surface preparation takes up most of our time—and that’s exactly how it should be. We power wash, scrape loose paint, sand rough spots, and caulk gaps before any paint touches your building. This phase determines whether your paint job lasts three years or ten.
We use commercial-grade paints designed for Michigan weather and high-traffic commercial environments. Application is systematic: primer where needed, two coats of quality paint, and attention to details like trim work and signage areas. We clean up daily and conduct a final walkthrough to ensure you’re completely satisfied.

Our commercial exterior painting services cover the full scope of what Birmingham businesses need. Siding, trim, doors, windows, gutters, and specialty surfaces—we handle it all with the same attention to detail.
Birmingham’s commercial district demands a certain level of sophistication. Retail spaces need colors that attract customers without overwhelming them. Office buildings require professional appearances that inspire confidence. Industrial facilities need durable finishes that withstand daily wear while maintaining a clean, organized look.
We work with you to select colors and finishes that align with your brand and complement Birmingham’s aesthetic. Whether you’re refreshing an existing color scheme or completely transforming your building’s appearance, we ensure the final result enhances your business rather than distracting from it.
Commercial exterior painting costs in Birmingham typically range from $2 to $6 per square foot, depending on your building’s size, condition, and complexity. Most projects average between $8,000 and $15,000 for standard commercial buildings.
Several factors affect pricing: surface preparation needs, paint quality, building height, and architectural details. A simple one-story retail space costs less than a multi-story office building with extensive trim work. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
The key is balancing upfront costs with long-term value. Quality commercial-grade paint and proper application cost more initially but extend the time between repaints from 4-5 years to 8-10 years, saving money over time.
Most commercial exterior painting projects in Birmingham take 3-7 business days, depending on building size and weather conditions. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your business operations.
Timeline factors include surface preparation requirements, building complexity, and seasonal considerations. Michigan weather can affect scheduling, so we build flexibility into our timelines and communicate any delays immediately.
For businesses that can’t afford extended disruptions, we can work in phases—completing one section at a time while keeping other areas fully operational. We also offer weekend and after-hours scheduling for certain projects, though this may affect pricing.
Michigan’s climate demands high-quality acrylic latex paints specifically formulated for commercial use. These paints resist fading from UV exposure, handle temperature fluctuations, and maintain their appearance through harsh winters and humid summers.
We recommend paints with advanced weather-resistant properties, including moisture barriers and mildew resistance. For high-traffic areas or buildings prone to graffiti, specialized coatings provide additional protection and easier maintenance.
The paint grade matters significantly. Consumer-grade paints might cost less initially but fail quickly on commercial buildings. Commercial-grade formulations contain higher percentages of quality pigments and binders that justify the higher cost through superior performance and longevity.
Yes, we understand that business disruption costs money. We work with you to schedule painting during your slowest periods and can accommodate evening or weekend work when necessary.
For retail businesses, we often work early mornings or evenings to avoid peak customer hours. Office buildings might prefer weekend scheduling. Manufacturing facilities may need work during planned maintenance shutdowns.
We also minimize disruption through careful planning—protecting walkways, maintaining clear entrances, and ensuring customers can always access your business safely. Our goal is completing quality work while keeping your operations running smoothly.
Well-maintained commercial buildings in Birmingham typically need exterior repainting every 7-10 years with quality materials and proper application. However, Michigan’s climate can shorten this timeline to 5-7 years for buildings with significant weather exposure.
Several factors affect repainting frequency: building orientation, material type, color choice, and maintenance level. South-facing walls fade faster. Dark colors show wear more quickly than lighter shades. Regular cleaning and minor touch-ups extend paint life significantly.
Watch for signs that repainting is needed: chalking, fading, cracking, or peeling paint. Addressing these issues promptly prevents more expensive repairs and maintains your building’s professional appearance.
Our commercial exterior painting estimates include complete project breakdowns: surface preparation, materials, labor, cleanup, and timeline. You’ll know exactly what work we’re performing and what you’re paying for each component.
Surface preparation covers power washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, and minor repairs needed for proper paint adhesion. Materials include primer, paint, and supplies—we specify brands and coverage rates. Labor estimates reflect our experienced crew’s efficiency and quality standards.
We also include project management, daily cleanup, and final inspection. Our “no-surprise guarantee” means the quoted price is your final price unless you request additional work. This transparency helps you budget accurately and compare contractors fairly.
