Your house isn’t just where you live—it’s your biggest investment. A quality paint job does more than make your neighbors notice. It creates a barrier against Michigan’s harsh weather, from summer heat that can crack cheap paint to winter freeze-thaw cycles that destroy poor prep work.
When we finish your exterior house painting project, you get years of protection that holds up. No peeling paint by next spring. No fading that makes your home look tired after one season. Just solid coverage that keeps weather out and value in.
The difference shows up in your home’s curb appeal and your peace of mind. You won’t be calling another painting contractor next year to fix what should have been done right the first time.
Legends Construction has been serving Clawson homeowners for two years, but our painting experience goes back over a decade. We’re not the biggest crew in Oakland County—just two brothers who believe every house painting project should be done right.
We’ve painted enough homes in Clawson to know what works in Michigan’s climate. Those 1950s-era houses that make up much of the neighborhood need contractors who understand proper prep work and paint selection. We know which products hold up to the freeze-thaw cycles and summer heat that can destroy a paint job in the first year.
Our approach is straightforward: competitive pricing without cutting corners. We’re building a business on repeat customers, which means your satisfaction matters more than rushing to the next job.
We start with a thorough assessment of your home’s exterior surfaces. This isn’t a quick walk-around—we check for problem areas that need extra attention, evaluate the existing paint condition, and discuss your color preferences and timeline.
Next comes proper preparation, which separates professional work from weekend DIY disasters. We clean surfaces, scrape loose paint, fill gaps and holes, and prime where needed. This stage takes time, but it’s what makes paint jobs last years instead of months.
The painting phase follows Michigan weather patterns. We don’t paint when temperatures drop below 50 degrees or when rain threatens in the next 24 hours. Quality paint needs proper conditions to cure correctly, and we won’t compromise your investment to meet an artificial deadline.
Final cleanup and walkthrough ensure you’re completely satisfied. We remove all equipment, clean up any paint drops, and do a complete inspection with you to address any concerns before we consider the job complete.

Our house painting services cover everything your Clawson home needs. Exterior painting includes siding, trim, shutters, doors, and any other painted surfaces. We work with all common materials—wood, vinyl, aluminum, and fiber cement siding that’s popular in newer Clawson construction.
Interior painting handles walls, ceilings, trim, and doors with the same attention to detail. We use drop cloths, remove outlet covers properly, and reinstall everything when we’re finished. No paint on your floors or missing hardware when we leave.
Color selection gets personal attention. We understand that choosing paint colors for a 1950s colonial looks different than selecting colors for a newer build. We’ll discuss options that complement your home’s style and the neighborhood character while reflecting your personal preferences. Popular choices in Clawson include updated versions of classic grays, whites, and accent colors that enhance curb appeal without looking out of place.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior painting in Michigan. We typically schedule most exterior projects between May and September when temperatures stay consistently above 50 degrees and humidity levels allow proper paint curing.
Summer months from late June through August provide the most reliable weather, but spring and early fall can offer excellent conditions with less scheduling competition. We avoid painting when nighttime temperatures drop below 50 degrees or when rain is forecast within 24 hours of application.
Michigan’s climate requires careful timing. Paint needs at least 24-48 hours of proper temperature and humidity conditions to cure correctly, which protects your investment and ensures the longevity you expect from a professional paint job.
Exterior house painting costs in Clawson typically range from $3,000 to $7,000, depending on your home’s size, current condition, and paint quality selected. Most of the 1950s-era homes in Clawson fall into the $4,000 to $6,000 range for complete exterior painting.
Factors that affect pricing include surface preparation needs, number of colors, trim complexity, and paint grade selection. A well-maintained home with minimal prep work costs less than one requiring extensive scraping, priming, or repair work.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor, materials, and any additional services needed. No surprise charges or hidden fees—you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start. Our competitive pricing reflects quality materials and proper application techniques, not corner-cutting that leads to callbacks.
Most exterior house painting projects in Clawson take 4 to 7 days to complete, depending on home size, weather conditions, and preparation requirements. This timeline includes proper surface prep, priming when needed, and two coats of finish paint.
Weather plays a significant role in scheduling. We don’t paint in rain, high winds, or when temperatures fall outside the recommended range. Michigan weather can add 1-2 days to a project if we need to wait for proper conditions.
Preparation work often takes longer than the actual painting, especially on older Clawson homes that need scraping, filling, or repair work. We’d rather take extra time upfront than deliver a paint job that fails prematurely. Quality preparation is what separates professional results from work that needs redoing in a year or two.
High-quality acrylic latex paints perform best in Michigan’s challenging climate. These paints expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking, resist moisture penetration, and maintain color better than lower-grade alternatives.
For Clawson’s mix of older and newer homes, we typically recommend premium exterior paints from major manufacturers that offer 15-25 year warranties. These paints cost more upfront but provide better coverage, durability, and fade resistance than budget options.
Paint selection also depends on your home’s siding material. Wood siding needs different paint characteristics than vinyl or aluminum. We’ll recommend specific products based on your home’s materials and exposure conditions, ensuring you get maximum protection and longevity from your investment.
Yes, we provide complete interior painting services for Clawson homeowners. Interior work includes walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and specialty finishes. We use proper drop cloths, carefully remove and reinstall fixtures, and ensure no paint gets on floors or furnishings.
Interior projects can often be scheduled during weather conditions that aren’t suitable for exterior work, making it possible to keep your home improvement projects moving forward year-round. We handle everything from single-room refreshes to whole-house interior painting.
Our interior painting process includes the same attention to surface preparation and quality materials that we bring to exterior work. Proper primer application, smooth wall repairs, and clean cut lines around trim and fixtures ensure professional results that enhance your home’s interior appeal and value.
Yes, Legends Construction carries full liability insurance and maintains all required licensing for painting contractor work in Clawson and Oakland County. We provide proof of insurance before starting any project to protect both your property and our workers.
Our insurance coverage includes property damage protection and worker’s compensation, giving you peace of mind during your painting project. We understand that inviting contractors into your home requires trust, and proper licensing and insurance demonstrate our commitment to professional standards.
We’re happy to provide copies of our insurance certificates and any licensing documentation you need for your records. Professional contractors should always be properly insured and licensed—it’s a basic requirement that protects everyone involved in the project.
