What Happens When It's Done Right

Your home stops being the one on the block that needs work. Instead, it becomes the one other homeowners point to when they’re explaining what they want their place to look like. The peeling stops. The fading stops. The constant worry about what Michigan weather is doing to your biggest investment—that stops too. You get 5-10 years of protection from a paint job that actually bonds to your siding instead of just sitting on top of it. Your curb appeal jumps, your property value follows, and you finally have that “we made the right choice” feeling when you pull into your driveway.

Exterior Painting Process Village of Clarkston MI

Here's Exactly What Happens on Your Project

First, we assess your home’s current condition and discuss your color preferences. No surprises, no pressure—just an honest evaluation of what needs to happen. Then comes the prep work that most contractors skip. We power wash everything to remove old paint and dirt. We scrape loose paint, fill gaps, and apply high-quality primer to surfaces that need it. This is where paint jobs succeed or fail, so we don’t rush it. Finally, we apply your chosen paint using the right techniques for your specific siding material. Whether it’s careful brushwork for trim or spray application for larger surfaces, we match the method to the surface. The result is even coverage that looks professional and lasts through multiple Michigan seasons.

About Legends Painting

Quality Exterior Painter Village of Clarkston MI

What You Actually Get for Your Investment

You get a complete exterior painting service that includes surface preparation, premium materials, and proper application techniques. We use paints specifically chosen for Michigan’s climate—formulations that resist UV damage, moisture penetration, and temperature extremes. In Village of Clarkston, we see a lot of homes with wood siding, vinyl, and aluminum. Each requires different preparation and paint selection. Wood needs more prep work but holds paint beautifully when done right. Vinyl requires special low-temperature paints to prevent warping. Aluminum needs proper priming for adhesion. We also handle the details that matter: protecting your landscaping, cleaning up thoroughly each day, and making sure trim work is crisp and clean. The goal isn’t just to change your home’s color—it’s to give you a finish that protects your investment and looks great for years.

When is the best time to paint my home's exterior in Village of Clarkston?

The optimal painting season in Michigan runs from March through November, with the sweet spot being May through September. We can work in temperatures as low as 35 degrees, but ideally we want several days of moderate temperatures and low humidity. Spring and fall often provide the best conditions—moderate temperatures, lower humidity, and less chance of sudden weather changes. Summer works great too, though we adjust our schedule to avoid the hottest parts of the day when surface temperatures get too high. We monitor weather forecasts carefully and will reschedule if rain is expected within 4-8 hours of application. Your paint needs proper curing time, and we won’t compromise on that just to stick to a schedule.

How long will my exterior paint job last in Michigan weather?

A properly executed exterior paint job using quality materials typically lasts 5-10 years in Michigan. The lifespan depends on several factors: the quality of preparation, the paint we use, your home’s exposure to sun and weather, and how well the surface was prepped initially. Wood siding usually needs repainting every 5-7 years, while properly painted aluminum or vinyl can go 7-10 years. South-facing walls that get more sun exposure may show fading sooner than north-facing surfaces. The key to longevity is proper surface preparation and using paints formulated for our climate. We use paints with UV inhibitors and moisture resistance specifically because we know what Michigan weather does to exterior finishes.

What does exterior painting cost for a typical Village of Clarkston home?

For a typical 2,500 square foot home in Village of Clarkston, exterior painting generally runs between $4,500 and $6,800, depending on the current condition of your exterior and the amount of prep work required. Factors that affect pricing include: the condition of existing paint, amount of scraping and priming needed, number of colors, trim complexity, and any wood repair requirements. A home that’s been well-maintained will cost less than one where paint is failing or wood needs replacement. We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor, materials, and prep work so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no change orders unless you request additional work.

Do you handle surface preparation and what does that include?

Surface preparation is where paint jobs succeed or fail, so yes—we handle all prep work and don’t cut corners on it. Our process starts with power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and loose paint. Next comes scraping and sanding to remove any remaining loose or peeling paint. We fill gaps and holes with appropriate fillers, then sand smooth. Finally, we prime any bare wood or metal surfaces with high-quality primer that’s matched to your topcoat. This preparation work takes time, but it’s what makes the difference between a paint job that lasts 2-3 years and one that protects your home for 5-10 years. We include all prep work in our estimates so you know the total cost upfront.

Can you paint over existing paint or does everything need to be stripped?

In most cases, we can paint over existing paint as long as it’s properly prepared. We assess the current paint’s condition during our initial evaluation and recommend the appropriate approach for your specific situation. If the existing paint is well-adhered with just normal wear and fading, we’ll clean, lightly sand, and prime as needed before applying new paint. However, if paint is peeling extensively, has multiple layers, or there are adhesion issues, more aggressive removal may be necessary. We never just paint over failing paint—that’s a recipe for early failure. Our goal is a long-lasting finish, so we’ll recommend the preparation level your home actually needs, not just the cheapest option.

What type of paint do you use for Michigan's climate?

We use 100% acrylic latex paints specifically formulated for extreme weather conditions. These paints offer superior adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to UV rays, moisture, and temperature fluctuations that are common in Michigan. For different surfaces, we select appropriate paint types: vinyl-safe formulations for vinyl siding, specialized primers for aluminum, and high-quality wood stains or paints for cedar and other wood surfaces. We also use paints with mildew resistance since Michigan’s humidity can promote mold growth. The paint brands we use are chosen for durability and performance, not just price. Quality paint costs more upfront but saves money over time by lasting longer and maintaining better appearance throughout Michigan’s seasonal extremes.
