Your exterior looks sharp again. The kind of curb appeal that makes neighbors stop and ask who did the work – and makes you proud to pull into your driveway.
More importantly, you’ve got real protection against Michigan weather. Paint that won’t peel, fade, or let moisture sneak behind your siding after the first hard winter. That means fewer repair headaches and more money staying in your pocket where it belongs.
You also get your time back. No more staring at that exterior project you’ve been putting off for months. No more weekend trips to Home Depot because you forgot something again. Just a professionally finished job that protects your biggest investment.
Legends Construction LLC brings over 10 years of exterior painting experience to Richmond, MI homeowners. We’re a family business – two brothers who started this company because we got tired of seeing homeowners get burned by contractors who disappear after collecting payment.
We’ve been operating under Legends Construction for two years, but we’ve been painting homes for over a decade. That experience shows in how we prep surfaces, choose materials for Michigan’s climate, and handle the details that separate amateur work from professional results.
Richmond homeowners keep calling us back because we do exactly what we promise. Quality exterior painting services at competitive pricing, with one goal: making you so satisfied that you’ll recommend us to your neighbors without hesitation.
We start by walking your property with you, pointing out what needs attention and explaining our approach. You get a detailed estimate with no hidden costs or surprise charges later.
The prep work comes next – the part that separates paint jobs that last from ones that fail in two years. We pressure wash, scrape loose paint, sand rough spots, and prime everything that needs it. Your surfaces get treated properly so the new paint actually bonds and protects.
Then we apply the paint using proven techniques and quality materials chosen for Richmond’s weather patterns. Clean lines, even coverage, and attention to details like trim work and hard-to-reach areas that other painters often rush through.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk through the finished work with you. You get a project that looks professional because it was done by professionals who’ve been perfecting this process for over 10 years.

We handle complete exterior painting for Richmond, MI homes. Siding, trim, doors, shutters, decks, and any other exterior surface that needs protection from Michigan’s harsh weather conditions.
Richmond’s climate demands exterior paint that can handle temperature swings from below zero to 90+ degrees, plus snow, ice, rain, and UV exposure. We use premium exterior paints specifically formulated for Midwest weather – products that resist fading, cracking, and moisture penetration that destroys cheaper paint jobs.
Proper surface preparation is included in every project because that’s where most painting failures start. We clean surfaces thoroughly, repair minor damage, caulk gaps, and prime when needed. This isn’t an upsell – it’s how you get paint that actually lasts and protects your investment for years instead of months.
Most Richmond exterior painting projects take 4-6 days, depending on your home’s size, condition, and Michigan’s unpredictable weather. We won’t paint in rain, extreme cold, or high humidity because it compromises the finish quality.
Surface preparation typically takes 1-2 days and includes pressure washing, scraping, sanding, and priming. The actual painting usually requires 2-3 days for most homes, plus an additional day for detail work like trim and touch-ups.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and communicate daily about progress and any weather delays. Rushing exterior painting to meet artificial deadlines just creates problems you’ll deal with later through peeling, uneven coverage, or premature failure.
High-quality 100% acrylic latex paint performs best on Richmond exteriors because it flexes with temperature changes without cracking and resists moisture better than oil-based alternatives.
For most siding materials, we use premium acrylic paints with built-in primer that bond properly and resist fading from UV exposure. Trim and doors might need different formulations depending on the material and sun exposure they receive.
Cheap paint costs more in the long run because you’ll repaint sooner and deal with more maintenance issues. We use paints that cost more upfront but save money through better durability, color retention, and weather resistance over 10-15 years instead of 3-5.
We paint year-round when conditions allow, but Michigan winters severely limit exterior painting opportunities. Most quality exterior paints need temperatures above 50°F and dry conditions for proper curing.
Late fall and early spring often provide excellent painting weather in Richmond. We can sometimes work on warmer winter days, but we never compromise quality by painting in marginal conditions that lead to adhesion problems or poor durability.
For winter projects, we can handle prep work during decent weather and paint protected areas like covered porches. We’ll work with your timeline but always prioritize results that will actually last rather than rushing to meet unrealistic deadlines.
Richmond exterior painting typically ranges from $4-7 per square foot, depending on your home’s condition, paint quality, and project complexity. Most 2,000 square foot homes cost $8,000-14,000 for complete exterior painting including proper prep work.
Homes needing extensive scraping, wood repair, or multiple primer coats cost more than well-maintained houses. We include all necessary prep work in our estimates because skipping it guarantees paint failure within a few years.
Our detailed estimates break down labor, materials, and preparation costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden charges or surprise costs after we start – just transparent pricing for quality work that protects your investment.
Clear outdoor furniture, grills, decorations, and vehicles away from the house perimeter. We need access to all surfaces and room for ladders, equipment, and material storage without damaging your property.
Trim bushes and plants back from your siding by at least 2-3 feet if possible. Overgrown vegetation makes proper surface preparation difficult and can damage fresh paint when branches scrape against it during storms.
Inside your home, remove or cover items near windows and doors where prep work might create dust. Close windows during power washing and sanding phases. We’ll provide specific preparation instructions during our initial consultation based on your home’s unique situation.
We provide a 2-year workmanship warranty on all exterior painting projects covering peeling, excessive fading, or adhesion failures caused by application errors. This doesn’t cover normal weathering or damage from storms, but legitimate workmanship issues are our responsibility.
Paint manufacturers offer separate product warranties ranging from 15-25 years depending on the specific paint grade used. We provide all warranty documentation and explain coverage details when your project is completed.
Our real warranty is customer satisfaction that generates repeat business and referrals. If there’s a genuine problem with our work, we’ll return to make it right because our reputation in Richmond depends on homeowners who are completely satisfied with their exterior painting investment.
