You’re looking at a $463,000 investment sitting in your driveway. Michigan’s brutal winters and humid summers don’t care about that number.
What you need is paint that actually protects your home instead of peeling off in two years. Paint that handles Lake Orion’s moisture challenges without bubbling or fading from UV reflection off the water.
When we finish your exterior painting project, you get a home that looks sharp and stays protected. No callbacks for touch-ups six months later. No wondering if you picked the wrong contractor when the first storm hits.
Legends Construction LLC brings over ten years of painting experience to Lake Orion. We’ve been operating for two years, built on a foundation of quality work and competitive pricing that actually makes sense.
We’re not a crew that shows up whenever we feel like it. We’re local to Lake Orion, we understand what Michigan weather does to exterior paint, and we know what it takes to make a paint job last in this climate.
Our goal is simple: do the work right so you call us again. Not because something went wrong, but because you’re ready for the next project.
First, we come out and give you a real estimate. Not a ballpark number that doubles when the work starts. We look at your house, measure what needs to be done, and tell you exactly what it costs.
Prep work comes next. In Lake Orion, this means dealing with moisture damage, checking for areas where water got behind the old paint, and making sure the surface is actually ready for new paint. Skipping this step is how you get paint that fails in the first year.
Then we paint. We use quality materials designed for Michigan’s climate challenges. Our application is methodical – proper coverage, proper drying time between coats, and attention to the details that make the difference between a job that lasts and one that doesn’t.

We handle both interior and exterior painting for residential properties in Lake Orion. Some commercial work too, but homes are where we spend most of our time.
Lake Orion sits right on the water, which creates specific challenges for exterior paint. The constant moisture exposure and UV reflection off the lake surface can cause standard paint to bubble, fade, or peel faster than it should. We use paint formulations designed to handle these conditions.
Interior work means understanding that you live in your house while we’re working. Clean work areas, proper protection for your furniture and floors, and scheduling that doesn’t turn your daily routine upside down. Our goal is a fresh interior without the hassle that usually comes with it.
Exterior painting costs in Lake Orion typically run around $2.62 per square foot based on recent local market data. That includes prep work, painting, labor, and any wood replacement needed.
The actual cost for your house depends on several factors: the size of your home, how many stories, the condition of the existing paint, and what kind of prep work is needed. Houses near the lake often need more prep work due to moisture exposure.
We provide detailed estimates that break down the full cost including materials and labor. No ballpark numbers that change when the work starts. You know what you’re paying before we begin.
Spring and fall are ideal for exterior painting in Lake Orion. You want temperatures between 50°F and 90°F with humidity below 70% for the best results.
Michigan’s summers can be challenging with high humidity that slows paint drying. The moisture in the air can cause paint to take hours longer to dry and may affect how well it adheres to the surface.
Winter painting is possible but requires more careful timing around weather conditions. We monitor weather forecasts closely and plan projects around dry periods with stable temperatures. The key is ensuring the paint has proper drying time before any moisture exposure.
Lake Orion’s location creates specific painting challenges that require the right approach and materials. The constant moisture exposure and UV reflection off the water can damage standard paint quickly.
We use paint formulations designed for high-moisture environments, like Benjamin Moore’s Regal High Build with GenX colorant that resists wear from moisture and sunlight. Proper surface preparation is critical – we ensure surfaces are completely dry and address any existing moisture damage before applying new paint.
Timing matters too. We schedule work during periods with lower humidity when possible and use techniques that account for the local climate conditions. Our goal is a paint job that handles Lake Orion’s environment instead of fighting against it.
Yes, we provide detailed written estimates that cover the complete cost of your painting project. This includes materials, labor, prep work, and any additional services needed.
Too many painting companies in Lake Orion give homeowners “ballpark” estimates that change once the work begins. We measure your project carefully and provide an estimate that covers the actual scope of work required.
Our estimate breaks down what’s included so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges or additional costs that weren’t discussed upfront. You get a clear picture of the investment before any work begins.
Most residential exterior painting projects in Lake Orion take 3-5 days depending on the size of the house and weather conditions. Single-story homes typically finish faster, while two-story homes with detailed trim work take more time.
Weather plays a big role in timing. High humidity can extend drying times between coats, and we won’t rush the process if conditions aren’t right. It’s better to take an extra day and do the job properly than to rush and have problems later.
We schedule projects with realistic timelines and keep you updated on progress. If weather delays the work, we communicate what’s happening and when we expect to resume. Our goal is completing your project on schedule without compromising quality.
We focus on two things: quality workmanship and competitive pricing. Over ten years of painting experience has taught us what works in Michigan’s climate and what doesn’t.
Our goal is customer satisfaction that leads to repeat business. We want you to call us again for future projects, which means doing the work right the first time. No shortcuts that cause problems six months later.
We’re local to Lake Orion and understand the specific challenges that come with painting in this area. From moisture management to material selection, we approach each project with knowledge of what works in this environment. You get experienced contractors who show up on time and complete the work as promised.
