Hear from Our Customers
Your home stops being that house on the block that looks tired. Instead, it becomes the one neighbors notice for all the right reasons.
You get paint that actually protects against Michigan’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat, and everything else our weather throws at exterior surfaces. No more worrying about peeling, cracking, or fading that makes your investment look cheap.
The real benefit? You’re done thinking about exterior painting for years. Not months—years. That’s what happens when the job gets done right the first time with quality materials and proper preparation.
Legends Construction LLC brings over 10 years of painting experience to Royal Oak homeowners who want the job done right. We’re not the new guys figuring it out on your dime.
What makes us different is simple: we focus on quality work and competitive pricing because satisfied customers call us back. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in the Royal Oak area over the past two years as Legends Construction.
Royal Oak homes face unique challenges with Michigan’s weather extremes. We understand what works here and what doesn’t, which materials hold up, and how to prep surfaces so your investment lasts.
First, we come out and look at your home’s current condition. No guessing, no generic estimates. We identify problem areas, discuss your goals, and give you a transparent quote with no surprises.
Next comes the prep work that separates good jobs from great ones. We clean, scrape, sand, and prime surfaces properly. This step determines how long your paint job lasts, so we don’t cut corners here.
Then we apply quality exterior paint designed for Michigan’s climate. We protect your landscaping, keep the work area clean, and communicate with you throughout the process. When we’re finished, you get a home that looks professional and stays that way.

You get complete exterior painting services that cover every surface that needs protection. Siding, trim, doors, shutters, decks, fences—whatever needs paint, we handle it.
Royal Oak homes deal with specific weather challenges that require the right approach. We use premium exterior paints formulated for Michigan’s temperature swings and moisture levels. These aren’t the cheapest options, but they’re the ones that save you money long-term.
Our service includes thorough surface preparation, quality materials, professional application, and complete cleanup. You don’t have to worry about half-finished projects or messes left behind. We treat your property like it’s our own.
Quality exterior paint should last 7-10 years in Royal Oak when applied correctly. Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles and humidity are tough on paint, but premium materials and proper preparation make the difference.
The key is using paint specifically designed for our climate extremes and preparing surfaces right. Cheap paint or rushed prep work might look fine initially, but you’ll see problems within 2-3 years. That’s why we focus on doing it right the first time rather than offering the lowest price.
Late spring through early fall gives us the best conditions—typically May through September. We need temperatures above 50 degrees and low humidity for paint to cure properly.
Summer is ideal, but we can work in shoulder seasons if weather cooperates. We don’t paint in winter or when rain is expected within 24 hours. Michigan weather can change quickly, so we stay flexible with scheduling and always check conditions before starting.
Planning ahead helps. If you want your home painted next summer, spring is a good time to get on the schedule.
Surface prep determines how long your paint job lasts, so we don’t skip steps. We start by power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. Then we scrape and sand problem areas down to solid surface.
Next comes caulking gaps and cracks where moisture can get behind the paint. We prime bare wood and any stained areas with quality primer that bonds properly. Only then do we apply the finish coats.
This process takes time, but it’s what separates paint jobs that last from ones that fail early. Most painting problems come from poor prep work, not bad paint.
Yes, we provide free estimates for all exterior painting projects in Royal Oak. We come to your home, assess the current condition, and discuss what you want accomplished.
Our estimates include material costs, labor, and timeline so you know exactly what to expect. We don’t believe in surprise charges or vague pricing. You get a clear breakdown of what’s included and what it costs.
The estimate appointment usually takes 30-45 minutes. We measure surfaces, identify any prep issues, and answer your questions about the process, materials, and timing.
We use premium exterior paints from trusted brands like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. These paints are formulated to handle Michigan’s weather extremes—hot summers, cold winters, and high humidity.
The specific paint depends on your home’s surfaces and your preferences, but we always recommend paints with excellent adhesion, fade resistance, and moisture protection. We don’t use contractor-grade or economy paints because they don’t last in our climate.
We’ll discuss paint options during your estimate and explain why certain products work better for your specific situation. Quality paint costs more upfront but saves money by lasting longer.
Yes, Legends Construction LLC is fully licensed and insured for painting work in Michigan. We carry both liability insurance and workers’ compensation to protect you and our crew.
Insurance protects you if something goes wrong during the project. Without proper coverage, homeowners can be liable for accidents or damage. We provide proof of insurance before starting any work.
Our licensing ensures we meet Michigan’s requirements for construction work. This isn’t just paperwork—it shows we’re a legitimate business that follows proper procedures and stands behind our work.
