Our Exterior House Painting Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your home’s exterior and give you a straight answer about what needs attention. No upselling, just honest evaluation of prep work, materials, and timeline. Next comes the prep – the part that separates good jobs from great ones. We clean, scrape, sand, and prime properly because paint only looks as good as what’s underneath it. Then we apply quality exterior paint designed for Michigan’s climate. We work efficiently but never rush the critical steps. You get updates throughout the process and a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets our standards.

Everything Your Home's Exterior Needs

We handle the full scope of exterior painting – siding, trim, doors, shutters, and any other painted surfaces that need attention. Whether it’s refreshing existing paint or switching colors entirely. Novi homes face unique challenges with lake-effect weather patterns and temperature swings. We use paints specifically rated for these conditions – not the basic stuff that fails after two seasons. Surface preparation gets the attention it deserves. Power washing, scraping loose paint, filling holes, caulking gaps, and priming bare wood. The unglamorous work that makes the difference between a paint job that lasts two years versus ten.

How long does exterior painting typically take in Novi?

Most single-family homes in Novi take 3-5 days for complete exterior painting, depending on size and prep work needed. Weather plays a role too – we won’t paint in rain, extreme humidity, or temperatures below 50 degrees. The timeline breaks down roughly like this: one day for prep work, 2-3 days for painting (including primer if needed), and a final day for detail work and cleanup. Larger homes or those requiring extensive prep work may take longer. We give you a realistic timeline upfront and stick to it. No dragging projects out or leaving you hanging with a half-painted house.

What type of paint works best for Michigan weather?

Acrylic latex paints perform best in Michigan’s climate because they expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking. We typically use premium brands like Sherwin-Williams Duration or Benjamin Moore Aura for their proven durability. These paints resist fading from UV exposure, handle moisture without peeling, and maintain flexibility through freeze-thaw cycles. The upfront cost is higher than basic paint, but the longevity makes it worth every penny. We also factor in your home’s exposure – south-facing sides get more UV damage, north sides deal with more moisture. Different situations sometimes call for different paint formulations.

How do you handle prep work on older Novi homes?

Older homes need more attention, and we don’t cut corners on prep work. We start with thorough cleaning, then scrape all loose or peeling paint down to stable surfaces. Any bare wood gets sanded smooth and primed with high-quality primer – this step is crucial for paint adhesion. We fill nail holes, caulk gaps around trim, and replace any rotted wood sections before painting begins. Lead paint is a consideration in pre-1978 homes. We follow EPA RRP rules for safe work practices, including containment and proper disposal of paint chips. Your family’s safety and our legal compliance aren’t negotiable.

What's included in your exterior painting estimate?

Our estimates cover everything needed for a complete job – labor, materials, prep work, cleanup, and disposal. No surprise charges for “extras” that should have been included from the start. You get a detailed breakdown showing prep work required, paint quantities, labor hours, and material costs. We explain what we found during our assessment and why certain steps are necessary. If we discover additional issues during the job (like rotted wood that wasn’t visible initially), we discuss options and costs before proceeding. No work gets done without your approval.

Do you guarantee your exterior painting work?

Yes, we stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not happy with the finished product, we make it right – that’s how we’ve built our reputation over 10 years. Quality paint applied correctly should last 7-10 years in Michigan’s climate. While we can’t control weather damage or normal wear, we guarantee our workmanship against defects like peeling, blistering, or poor coverage. We also guarantee our cleanup – your property gets left cleaner than we found it. Paint cans disposed of properly, drop cloths removed, and any accidental drips cleaned up completely.

How far in advance should I schedule exterior painting?

Spring and fall are our busiest seasons when weather conditions are ideal for exterior painting. Booking 4-6 weeks ahead during peak season ensures you get your preferred timeline. Summer can work well too, though we avoid the hottest days when paint doesn’t cure properly. Winter exterior painting is possible during mild stretches, but weather delays are more likely. The best approach is calling when you first start thinking about painting. We can assess your home’s needs, provide an estimate, and schedule work for optimal weather conditions. Early planning means better results and less stress.
