Paint That Actually Lasts Through Michigan Seasons

Your exterior paint job should protect your home for years, not months. We use high-quality paints and materials designed to withstand Michigan’s changing seasons, so you’re not calling someone back next year to fix peeling or cracking. Birmingham gets 32 inches of rain and snow annually, which means your paint needs to handle everything from summer heat to winter freeze-thaw cycles. We prep surfaces properly, use weather-resistant materials, and apply coats when conditions are right—not when it’s convenient. The result? A finish that keeps your home looking sharp and protected, season after season.

The goal isn’t to be the cheapest or the most expensive—it’s to deliver work so solid that customers call us back for the next project.

How long does exterior painting take in Birmingham, MI?

Most full exterior house paint jobs take 3-4 days, though the timeline depends on your specific project. For Legends Construction, timing depends on your home’s size, condition, and weather. Prep work usually takes a full day—power washing, scraping, caulking, and priming. Painting typically requires 2-3 days for most Birmingham homes. We don’t rush the process because proper drying time between coats is crucial for long-term durability. Weather can affect timing. The best exterior painting season in Michigan runs from May through September, giving about five to six months of optimal conditions.

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

The best time for exterior painting is during summer and fall, specifically May through September. Ideal conditions are dry weather with temperatures between 50-90°F. Spring can be unpredictable with rain, and most rain in lower Michigan areas like Birmingham is concentrated in May, June, and September. Summer heat requires careful timing—painting too hot can cause problems. Fall months are excellent for exterior painting, defined as late September, October, and November. The key is scheduling early enough that weather changes don’t push your project into spring.

How much does exterior painting cost in Birmingham, MI?

Exterior painting costs range from $8,000 to $40,000+, affected by home size, surface materials, and necessary damage repairs. For Birmingham specifically, costs reflect the area’s higher property values and quality expectations. Smaller homes (500-1,500 square feet) generally start around $1,500 to $4,500, while homes between 1,500-2,000 square feet often see costs around $4,500 to $6,000. Factors affecting price include surface condition, prep work needed, paint quality, and architectural complexity. Legends Construction provides upfront estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

What type of paint works best for Birmingham weather?

Birmingham’s 32 inches of annual rain and snow requires paint that handles moisture, temperature swings, and UV exposure. Quality exterior latex paints with weather-resistant additives work best for Michigan conditions. While cheaper paints might save money upfront, they might not give long-lasting, durable finishes against Michigan’s weather. Going for quality paints is an investment in longevity and aesthetics. The best products resist fading, chalking, and mold, while proper application techniques ensure optimal adhesion and longevity. Legends Construction uses paints specifically chosen for Birmingham’s climate challenges.

Do you handle exterior painting prep work in Birmingham?

Yes, proper prep work is crucial for Birmingham exterior painting projects. This includes power washing to remove dirt and mildew, scraping loose or peeling paint, and caulking gaps around windows, doors, and trim. Proper prep like pressure washing, caulking gaps, and priming ensures optimal paint adhesion, and our painters handle exterior prep so paint lasts. We also repair minor wood damage and replace rotted sections when needed. Birmingham’s weather conditions mean surfaces need thorough cleaning and proper priming. Skipping prep work leads to premature paint failure, so we take time to do it right the first time.

Are you licensed and insured for exterior painting in Birmingham?

Yes, Legends Construction carries proper licensing and insurance for exterior painting work in Birmingham, MI. This protects both your property and our workers during the project. Insurance coverage includes liability protection and worker’s compensation. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any work. This isn’t just good business practice—it’s essential protection for homeowners. With Birmingham’s median home value at $690,500, you want contractors who carry adequate insurance coverage. We understand the responsibility that comes with working on valuable properties and maintain coverage accordingly.
