Hear from Our Customers
You’re tired of watching your home’s exterior fade and peel every few years. Michigan’s sun and moisture don’t care about your schedule or budget, but the right exterior painting contractor does.
When we finish your exterior painting project, you’ll have more than just fresh color. You’ll have weather-resistant protection that stands up to everything Farmington Hills throws at it—from scorching summer sun to brutal winter freeze-thaw cycles.
Your property value increases. Your maintenance headaches decrease. And you get years of curb appeal that makes your home the one people notice for all the right reasons.
Legends Construction LLC brings over 10 years of painting experience to Farmington Hills homeowners who refuse to settle for mediocre work. We’re not the biggest painting company in Oakland County, and we’re not trying to be.
What we are is two brothers who understand that your home is your biggest investment. Every exterior painting project we take on gets the same attention to detail we’d want for our own families.
We’ve been serving Farmington Hills for two years as Legends Construction, and we’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners. Peeling paint six months later. Surfaces that weren’t properly prepped. Cleanup that never happened. That’s not how we operate.
First, we assess your home’s exterior surfaces and identify any repairs needed before we touch a brush. Rotted trim, damaged siding, or surface issues get fixed properly—not painted over.
Next comes thorough preparation. We pressure wash, scrape, sand, and prime every surface that needs it. This isn’t the fun part, but it’s what separates exterior painting that lasts from paint jobs that fail in two years.
Then we apply premium exterior paints designed for Michigan’s climate. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and don’t consider the job done until you’re completely satisfied with the results.

Our exterior painting services in Farmington Hills include complete surface preparation, minor repairs, premium weather-resistant paint application, and thorough cleanup. We handle siding, trim, shutters, doors, and any exterior surface that needs protection from Michigan weather.
Farmington Hills homes face unique challenges. The area’s mature trees create shade patterns that can cause uneven fading. The proximity to Detroit means more environmental pollutants settling on exterior surfaces. Winter road salt gets tracked onto porches and entryways.
We choose our exterior paint products specifically for these local conditions. Weather-resistant formulations that won’t fade under Michigan sun. Moisture-resistant coatings that handle humidity and snow. Durable finishes that clean easily when spring arrives.
Quality exterior painting in Farmington Hills typically lasts 7-10 years with proper preparation and premium paint products. Michigan’s climate is tough on exterior surfaces—hot summers cause expansion and UV fading, while winter freeze-thaw cycles can crack inferior paint.
The key is using exterior paints specifically formulated for Midwest weather conditions and ensuring thorough surface preparation before application. Cheap paint or rushed prep work might look fine initially, but you’ll see peeling and fading within 2-3 years.
We use premium exterior paints designed to handle temperature swings from -10°F to 90°F, resist moisture penetration, and maintain color integrity under intense summer sun.
Our exterior painting preparation includes pressure washing, scraping loose or peeling paint, sanding rough surfaces, filling cracks and holes, priming bare wood or metal, and protecting landscaping and outdoor fixtures.
We also inspect for and repair minor issues like loose caulking around windows and doors, small holes in siding, or rotted trim pieces. These problems won’t improve with paint—they’ll just get worse and cause premature paint failure.
Proper preparation typically takes 60-70% of the project time, but it’s what determines whether your exterior painting lasts two years or ten years. Skipping prep steps might save time initially, but it guarantees you’ll be repainting much sooner.
We cover all plants, flowers, and outdoor furniture with drop cloths before starting any exterior painting work. Shrubs and bushes near the house get plastic sheeting, and we use canvas drop cloths for walkways and patios to prevent paint drips.
For established landscaping like the mature plantings common in Farmington Hills neighborhoods, we take extra care with ladder placement and paint spraying. We’ve seen too many painting contractors damage expensive landscaping through carelessness.
If we’re working near prize rose bushes or newly planted areas, we’ll discuss specific protection measures during the estimate. Your landscaping investment deserves the same respect as your home’s exterior.
We typically recommend Sherwin-Williams Duration or Benjamin Moore Aura exterior paints for Farmington Hills homes. Both offer excellent weather resistance, color retention, and durability in Michigan’s challenging climate conditions.
These premium exterior paints cost more upfront than builder-grade options, but they contain higher-quality resins and pigments that resist fading, chalking, and moisture penetration. The result is longer-lasting protection and better appearance over time.
For specific situations—like historic homes with original wood siding or newer vinyl installations—we’ll recommend the best exterior paint formulation for your particular surfaces and exposure conditions.
Yes, we stand behind our exterior painting work with a comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship. The specific terms depend on the scope of your project and the paint products used.
Our warranty covers peeling, excessive fading, and application defects under normal weather conditions. It doesn’t cover damage from severe storms, impact damage, or normal wear in high-traffic areas like door thresholds.
We believe in doing exterior painting right the first time, but if issues arise that are covered under warranty, we’ll return to make them right at no additional cost. Your satisfaction and our reputation depend on work that lasts.
Exterior painting costs in Farmington Hills typically range from $3,000-$8,000 for an average home, depending on size, condition, and paint quality selected. Factors affecting price include surface preparation needed, number of colors, trim complexity, and height accessibility.
Homes requiring extensive prep work—scraping, sanding, or minor repairs—will cost more than houses with surfaces in good condition. Two-story homes or those with complex rooflines require more time and safety equipment, affecting the final price.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor, materials, and preparation costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden charges, and no pressure to decide immediately.
