Ten Years of Getting It Right

We’ve been operating in Ferndale for two years, but our painting experience runs over a decade deep. We’re a small team—mainly two brothers who’ve built this business on a simple principle: do the job so well that customers call us back.

Ferndale’s older homes, many built before the 1940s, need painters who understand how different materials age and what they require. We’ve worked on everything from historic bungalows to modern updates, always matching our approach to what your specific home needs.

We’re not the biggest painting company in Oakland County, and that’s exactly why our customers choose us. You get our direct attention, not a revolving door of subcontractors.

How We Handle Your Painting Project

First, we assess your home’s surfaces and current paint condition. This isn’t a quick glance—we check for issues that could affect how new paint adheres and lasts.

Next comes proper preparation. We clean, scrape, and prime as needed. Most painting problems come from skipping this step, so we don’t. Your surfaces get the foundation they need for paint that sticks and stays.

Then we apply quality paint using techniques matched to your home’s materials. Whether it’s careful brush work around trim or efficient coverage on larger surfaces, we choose methods that give you the best finish. Finally, we walk through everything with you to make sure it meets your expectations before we consider the job complete.

Interior Exterior Painting Ferndale

What's Included in Our Painting Services

Our painting services cover both interior and exterior work for Ferndale homes and businesses. Interior projects include walls, ceilings, trim, and detailed work around fixtures and built-ins.

For exterior painting, we handle siding, trim, doors, and windows using paints specifically chosen for Michigan’s climate challenges. We understand how Ferndale’s weather patterns affect different materials and select products accordingly.

Ferndale’s mix of architectural styles—from craftsman bungalows to mid-century homes—each requires different approaches. We match our techniques and materials to your home’s specific needs, whether that’s preserving historic character or updating a more recent build. Every project includes proper surface preparation, quality materials, and the kind of attention to detail that comes from over ten years in the business.

How long does exterior paint last in Ferndale's climate?

Quality exterior paint should last 7-10 years in Ferndale, but this depends heavily on surface preparation and paint quality. Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on paint, causing expansion and contraction that can lead to cracking and peeling if the job isn’t done right.

We use paints specifically rated for temperature fluctuations and moisture resistance. Proper surface prep—cleaning, scraping loose paint, and priming—is crucial for longevity. Homes with good preparation and quality materials typically need repainting every 8-10 years, while rushed jobs might need attention in 3-5 years.

South and west-facing surfaces get the most UV exposure and weather stress, so they may need touch-ups sooner than protected areas.

For exterior painting, late spring through early fall gives us the best conditions—typically May through September. We need temperatures above 50°F and low humidity for paint to cure properly.

Interior painting can happen year-round, and winter is actually popular since you’re spending more time indoors anyway. Many Ferndale homeowners use the colder months for interior projects while planning exterior work for spring.

We book exterior projects in advance because good weather windows fill up quickly. If you’re thinking about exterior painting, reaching out in early spring helps ensure we can fit your project into the ideal timeframe.

Ferndale’s older homes, especially those built before 1940, need special attention. We test for lead paint when required and follow proper protocols for preparation and disposal.

Historic properties often have unique architectural details that require careful brush work rather than just spray application. We preserve original character while updating protection and appearance.

Older homes may have settlement cracks, wood movement, or previous paint layers that affect how we approach the project. We address these issues during preparation rather than just painting over them. This means your paint job looks better and lasts longer, even on a 70+ year old home.

Our pricing reflects the real cost of quality work without the overhead of larger companies. We don’t cut corners on materials or preparation, but we also don’t have multiple layers of management or expensive marketing budgets to cover.

We provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges for “unexpected” prep work that should have been obvious from the start.

Our goal is to price fairly for the quality we deliver. We’re not the cheapest option, but customers find our pricing competitive when they compare what’s actually included in the job. Quality materials, proper preparation, and experienced application cost more upfront but save money long-term.

Yes, we handle both residential and commercial painting in Ferndale. Most of our work is residential—single-family homes, condos, and small multi-unit properties.

For commercial projects, we focus on smaller businesses and office spaces rather than large industrial complexes. This keeps us sized appropriately for the personal attention our clients expect.

Whether residential or commercial, we bring the same approach: thorough preparation, quality materials, and attention to detail. Commercial projects often have different scheduling requirements, and we work with business owners to minimize disruption during operating hours.

For exterior painting, booking 4-6 weeks in advance during peak season (spring through early fall) ensures you get your preferred timing. Interior projects typically have more flexibility and can often be scheduled 2-3 weeks out.

We’re a small team, which means more personalized attention but also means our schedule fills up, especially during ideal painting weather. Popular times like late spring and early summer book earliest.

If you have flexibility on timing, we can sometimes accommodate shorter notice during slower periods. Winter months often have more availability for interior work, and early spring can work well for getting on the schedule for exterior projects.
