Hear from Our Customers
Your neighbors notice the difference immediately. Fresh, clean lines that make your property stand out for all the right reasons.
But the real value shows up over time. You’re not calling painters every few years because the job was done right the first time. The paint holds up through Michigan’s brutal winters and humid summers because we use quality materials and proper prep work.
Your home value increases, and you get that satisfaction of driving up to a house that looks exactly how you pictured it. No regrets, no shortcuts, just results that last.
Legends Construction has been serving Walled Lake homeowners for two years, but our experience runs deeper. Over 10 years in the painting business means we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t.
It’s mostly the two of us—brothers who take this seriously. We’re not trying to be the biggest company in Michigan. We’re focused on doing excellent work at fair prices so you’ll call us when you need painting done again.
We’ve painted enough homes in this area to understand what Walled Lake weather does to exterior surfaces. That knowledge goes into every job we take on.
First, we walk your property and give you a straightforward assessment. No surprises, no hidden costs. You know what you’re paying before we start.
Prep work comes next, and this is where quality jobs separate from quick ones. We scrape, sand, and prime properly because paint only looks as good as the surface underneath it. Your siding, trim, and any problem areas get the attention they need.
Then we paint using materials that make sense for Michigan weather. We clean up completely when we’re done. You get a home that looks great and protection that lasts, without the mess or hassle you might expect from a painting project.

Complete surface preparation is standard, not an add-on. This means power washing, scraping loose paint, sanding rough areas, and priming where needed. We don’t skip steps to save time.
You get quality exterior paint designed for Michigan’s climate swings. We’re talking about materials that expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking or peeling prematurely.
Walled Lake homes deal with everything from lake effect snow to summer humidity. We factor in these local conditions when selecting primers and paints. Your trim, siding, doors, and any exterior wood surfaces get protection that makes sense for this area.
Most exterior painting projects in Walled Lake take 3-5 days, depending on your home’s size and condition. Weather plays a role since we won’t paint in rain or extreme temperatures.
We schedule around Michigan’s unpredictable weather patterns. If we need to pause for weather, we make sure any prep work is properly covered and protected.
The timeline also depends on how much prep work your home needs. Homes that haven’t been painted in 10+ years require more surface preparation, which adds time but ensures better results.
High-quality acrylic latex paints perform best in Michigan’s climate. They expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking, and they resist moisture better than cheaper alternatives.
For Walled Lake specifically, we choose paints rated for extreme temperature swings. Your home faces everything from sub-zero winters to 90-degree summers, often within the same year.
We also use premium primers, especially on bare wood or previously failed paint areas. The primer creates proper adhesion and prevents moisture penetration that leads to peeling and rot.
Exterior painting costs in Walled Lake typically range from $3,000-$8,000 for most homes, depending on size, condition, and paint quality. Single-story ranch homes cost less than two-story colonials.
The biggest cost factors are surface preparation needs and paint quality. Homes with peeling paint, bare wood, or damaged siding require more prep work, which increases the investment.
We provide detailed estimates that break down labor, materials, and any additional work needed. No surprises or hidden costs after we start your project.
Late spring through early fall offers the best exterior painting conditions in Michigan. We typically schedule most projects between May and September when temperatures stay consistently above 50 degrees.
Avoid painting during Michigan’s humid summer peaks when possible. High humidity slows drying times and can cause application problems. Early fall often provides ideal conditions with lower humidity and stable temperatures.
We don’t paint when rain is expected within 24 hours or when temperatures drop below manufacturer recommendations. Proper curing is essential for long-term paint performance.
Yes, we stand behind our exterior painting work with a warranty that covers both labor and materials. The specific terms depend on the paint products used and surface conditions.
Quality paint manufacturers offer product warranties, and we honor those fully. Our labor warranty covers application issues like peeling, cracking, or adhesion problems that result from our workmanship.
We document the products used and application conditions for your records. If you have any issues during the warranty period, we’ll come back and make it right at no additional cost.
Clear items away from your home’s exterior walls—patio furniture, grills, plants in containers. We need about 6 feet of clearance around the house for ladders and equipment.
Trim back any bushes or plants that touch your siding. We can work around permanent landscaping, but overgrown vegetation makes proper painting difficult and can damage plants.
Remove or cover outdoor electrical fixtures, and let us know about any loose siding or trim boards before we start. We’ll handle most prep work, but knowing about problem areas ahead of time helps us plan properly.
