Residential Exterior Painting Pontiac

What's Included in Our Service
Complete exterior painting for residential properties in Pontiac and surrounding areas. We handle everything from single-story ranch homes to multi-story houses, including siding, trim, doors, and shutters. Surface preparation is included – cleaning, scraping, sanding, and priming as needed. We use quality exterior paints designed for Michigan’s climate. All necessary equipment, drop cloths, and cleanup are part of the service. Pontiac homeowners deal with specific challenges: harsh winter freezes, spring thaw damage, summer humidity, and fall weather that can cut painting seasons short. We plan around these conditions and use materials that handle the local climate. Your job gets done right, on schedule, regardless of what Michigan weather throws at us.

How long does exterior house painting take in Pontiac?

Most residential exterior painting projects in Pontiac take 3-5 days, depending on the size of your home and weather conditions. Single-story ranch homes typically take 2-3 days, while two-story homes usually require 4-5 days. Michigan weather affects timing more than most places. We don’t paint in temperatures below 50°F or above 85°F, during rain, or when humidity is too high. This means we sometimes need to adjust schedules, especially in spring and fall. We give you realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated if weather delays occur. The goal is quality work that lasts, not speed that creates problems later.
The best time for exterior painting in Pontiac is late spring through early fall – typically May through September. Michigan’s weather window is shorter than many states, so timing matters. Late spring (May-June) is ideal because temperatures are moderate and humidity is manageable. Summer works but we avoid the hottest days. Early fall (September) can be perfect, but you need to finish before temperatures drop consistently below 50°F. We book spring and summer projects early because the season is limited. If you’re planning exterior painting, contact us in early spring to secure your spot during optimal weather conditions.
Exterior painting costs in Pontiac typically range from $2,500-$6,000 for most residential homes, depending on size, condition, and paint quality. Single-story ranch homes usually cost less than two-story colonials or homes requiring extensive prep work. Several factors affect pricing: surface preparation needed, paint quality selected, trim complexity, and current condition of existing paint. Homes with peeling paint, wood rot, or previous poor paint jobs require more prep work, which increases cost. We provide detailed estimates that break down labor, materials, and prep work. No hidden fees or surprise charges. The investment pays off through longer-lasting results and increased home value.
High-quality acrylic latex paints perform best in Michigan’s climate. These paints expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking, resist fading from UV exposure, and handle moisture from rain and snow. Specific features matter: mildew resistance for humid summers, fade resistance for intense sun, and flexibility for freeze-thaw cycles. Cheap paint fails quickly in Michigan conditions, leading to peeling, cracking, and frequent repainting. We use proven paint brands designed for harsh climates. The upfront cost is higher than budget options, but the paint lasts 8-12 years instead of 3-5 years. You save money long-term and avoid the hassle of frequent repainting.
Yes, comprehensive prep work is included in every exterior painting project. This includes pressure washing, scraping loose paint, sanding rough surfaces, filling cracks and holes, and applying primer where needed. Prep work determines how long your paint job lasts. Skipping or rushing this step leads to early paint failure, peeling, and wasted money. We take the time to prep surfaces properly, even if it means extra work. We also protect your property during the process – covering landscaping, windows, walkways, and outdoor furniture. When the job is complete, we clean up thoroughly and remove all materials and debris.
Several signs indicate it’s time for exterior painting: peeling or cracking paint, fading colors, chalky residue on your hand when you touch the siding, or visible wood rot or damage underneath existing paint. Michigan homes typically need exterior painting every 7-10 years, but this varies based on paint quality, surface preparation, and weather exposure. South-facing sides fade faster due to sun exposure, while north sides may develop mildew in humid conditions. Don’t wait until damage is severe. Repainting before major problems develop costs less than dealing with wood rot, siding replacement, or extensive prep work. A fresh paint job also protects your investment and maintains your home’s value.
