You get paint that actually protects your home against Michigan’s brutal temperature swings and moisture. Your exterior stops looking tired and starts looking like the investment it is.
The difference shows up in how long it lasts. No peeling after the first winter. No touch-ups every spring. Just solid protection that holds up to what Mount Clemens weather throws at it.
When neighbors ask who did your house, you’ll actually want to tell them. That’s what happens when surface prep is done right and quality materials meet experienced application.
Legends Construction LLC has been serving Mount Clemens and Macomb County for two years, built on over ten years of combined painting experience. We’ve painted through Michigan winters, handled every type of siding, and solved problems that would stump newer contractors.
Mount Clemens homes have their quirks—older properties with unique challenges, newer builds that need the right approach. We know what works here because we’ve been doing it here.
You’re not getting a sales pitch from us. You’re getting straight talk from contractors who understand that your home is your biggest investment and our reputation depends on treating it that way.
We start with a real consultation—not a quick look and a number. We assess your surfaces, discuss what you want, and explain what your house actually needs. No surprises later.
Prep work comes next, and this is where most contractors cut corners. We don’t. Power washing, scraping, minor repairs, proper priming—whatever it takes to create the right foundation. This step determines how long your paint job lasts.
Then comes application using the right techniques for your specific surfaces. Brush, roll, or spray—whatever gets the best coverage and finish. We clean up completely and do a final walkthrough to make sure everything meets our standards.

You get complete exterior house painting services designed for Mount Clemens conditions. That means paint selection that handles temperature swings, moisture protection that actually works, and surface preparation that creates lasting adhesion.
Mount Clemens homes face unique challenges—lake effect weather, temperature extremes, and the kind of conditions that test paint systems. We choose acrylic latex paints for flexibility and durability, with specific formulations for different surfaces.
Your project includes thorough surface cleaning, repair of minor issues, quality primer application, and two coats of finish paint. We handle trim, siding, doors, and any other exterior surfaces that need attention. Everything gets done right the first time.
Quality exterior painting in Mount Clemens typically lasts 7-10 years when done properly. The key factors are surface preparation, paint selection, and application technique.
Mount Clemens weather is tough on paint—temperature swings, moisture, and seasonal changes all take their toll. That’s why we use high-quality acrylic latex paints that flex with temperature changes and resist moisture penetration.
Proper prep work extends paint life significantly. Houses that get thorough cleaning, scraping, and priming before painting last much longer than quick paint-over jobs. We’ve seen well-prepped houses go 10+ years without needing attention.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for exterior house painting in Mount Clemens. We typically schedule most exterior work between May and October.
Temperature and humidity matter for proper paint curing. We need temperatures above 50°F and below 85°F, with low humidity for optimal results. Michigan’s spring and fall weather often provides perfect painting conditions.
Winter interior work is actually ideal—we can control temperature and humidity indoors, and it’s often our less busy season. Many Mount Clemens homeowners use winter months for interior painting projects while planning exterior work for warmer weather.
Houses built before 1978 in Mount Clemens likely contain lead paint, and we follow EPA RRP (Renovation, Repair, Painting) rules for safe handling. This isn’t optional—it’s required by law.
Our process includes testing for lead paint presence, containing work areas with plastic sheeting, using HEPA filtration, and following specific cleanup procedures. We’re certified for lead-safe work practices.
Most lead paint situations don’t require complete removal. Proper encapsulation with quality primer and paint is often the preferred approach. We explain your options and handle everything according to EPA guidelines to keep your family safe.
Our estimates include all labor, materials, surface preparation, and cleanup for your Mount Clemens house painting project. No hidden fees or surprise charges later.
You’ll see specific line items for prep work, primer, paint, and labor. We include power washing when needed, minor repairs, caulking, and complete cleanup. Paint costs reflect quality materials appropriate for local conditions.
We provide detailed written estimates that explain exactly what work gets done. If we discover additional issues during the project, we discuss them with you before proceeding. Our goal is complete transparency from start to finish.
Mount Clemens weather demands specific paint characteristics—flexibility for temperature changes, moisture resistance, and UV protection. We select paints based on your home’s exposure and surface materials.
For exteriors, we typically recommend high-quality acrylic latex paints that expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking. Different surfaces need different approaches—wood siding, vinyl, stucco, and metal all have specific requirements.
Color selection also matters. Darker colors absorb more heat and can cause expansion issues on some surfaces. We discuss these factors during consultation and recommend colors and paint types that will perform best on your specific house.
We focus on surface preparation and paint system selection rather than just getting paint on the wall. Most painting failures happen because prep work was rushed or the wrong materials were used.
Our ten years of combined experience in Mount Clemens means we understand local conditions and common issues. We’ve painted every type of house in this area and know what works long-term versus what looks good initially but fails quickly.
You get honest assessment of what your house needs, quality materials chosen for local conditions, and thorough prep work that most contractors skip. We’re building a reputation for work that lasts, not just work that’s cheap.
