When you hire the right house painting contractor, your home gets more than a fresh look. You get protection from Michigan’s harsh weather cycles that can crack, peel, and fade inferior paint jobs within a few years.
Your property value increases with professional exterior house painting that enhances curb appeal. Inside, quality interior work creates spaces you actually want to spend time in.
Most importantly, you avoid the frustration of watching your investment deteriorate because corners were cut on prep work or materials. Professional painting services mean you won’t be calling another contractor in two years to fix what should have been done right the first time.
Legends Construction LLC brings over a decade of painting experience to Royal Oak homes. As a family-owned business, we’ve built our reputation on delivering quality work that keeps customers calling us back.
We’re not the biggest painting company in town, and that’s intentional. Our size lets us focus on each project without rushing to the next job. When you work with us, you’re working directly with experienced professionals who understand Royal Oak’s unique housing stock and weather challenges.
We’ve been serving this community for two years under the Legends Construction name, expanding our crew because demand for reliable, quality-focused house painting services continues to grow.
Every house painting project starts with a thorough assessment of your home’s current condition. We examine surfaces, identify problem areas, and discuss your goals and timeline.
Preparation makes the difference between paint that lasts and paint that fails. We properly clean, scrape, sand, and prime surfaces before applying quality paint. This step takes time, but it’s why our work holds up to Royal Oak’s weather extremes.
Application follows manufacturer specifications for temperature, humidity, and drying time. We don’t rush this phase because proper application determines how long your paint job will look good and protect your home.
Final walkthrough ensures every detail meets our standards and your expectations. We clean up completely and provide maintenance recommendations to help your investment last as long as possible.

Our house painting services cover everything from single-room refreshes to complete exterior makeovers. We handle residential projects of all sizes, plus select commercial work for local Royal Oak businesses.
Exterior house painting includes thorough surface preparation, primer application where needed, and high-quality paint designed to withstand Michigan’s temperature swings and precipitation. We work with established paint brands that offer strong warranties and proven durability.
Interior painting services range from accent walls to whole-house color changes. We protect your furniture and floors, maintain clean work areas, and use low-VOC paints that won’t leave your home smelling like chemicals for weeks.
Royal Oak’s housing mix includes everything from historic homes requiring specialized techniques to newer construction needing standard maintenance painting. Our experience with different architectural styles and surface types means we adapt our approach to what your specific home needs.
House painting costs in Royal Oak typically range from $3,000 to $8,000 for exterior projects, depending on your home’s size, condition, and paint quality. Interior painting usually runs $2,000 to $5,000 for average-sized homes.
Several factors affect pricing: surface preparation requirements, paint quality, number of colors, and architectural complexity. Homes needing extensive prep work cost more upfront but save money long-term by lasting longer.
We provide detailed estimates that break down labor, materials, and preparation costs. This transparency helps you understand exactly what you’re paying for and why quality painting services cost more than basic paint-and-go jobs.
Most exterior house painting projects in Royal Oak take 3-7 days, depending on home size, weather conditions, and surface preparation needs. Larger homes or those requiring extensive prep work may take up to two weeks.
Weather plays a major role in scheduling. We don’t paint in rain, extreme heat, or when overnight temperatures drop below paint manufacturer recommendations. Michigan’s climate means we sometimes need to adjust timelines for optimal results.
We provide realistic completion estimates upfront and keep you updated if weather or unexpected surface issues affect the schedule. Rushing exterior painting to meet arbitrary deadlines usually results in problems later, so we prioritize doing it right over doing it fast.
High-quality acrylic latex paints perform best in Michigan’s climate, typically lasting 7-10 years on properly prepared surfaces. These paints flex with temperature changes and resist cracking better than oil-based alternatives.
Premium paint lines from established manufacturers offer better coverage, color retention, and weather resistance than budget options. The upfront cost difference is usually 20-30%, but premium paints can last twice as long.
We recommend specific paint types based on your home’s surface materials, exposure to weather, and your long-term goals. Choosing the right paint for Royal Oak’s climate conditions is just as important as proper application technique.

Interior house painting can be done year-round in Royal Oak, as long as homes maintain adequate heating and ventilation. Winter is actually an ideal time for interior projects since you’re spending more time indoors anyway.
Exterior painting in Michigan requires temperatures above 50°F for most paints, with no rain or snow in the forecast. This typically limits exterior work to April through October, though mild winter days occasionally allow for small touch-up projects.
We schedule exterior painting during optimal weather windows and can move interior work to winter months if needed. Planning ahead helps ensure your project gets completed when conditions are right for long-lasting results.
Our house painting services include comprehensive surface preparation: power washing, scraping loose paint, sanding rough areas, caulking gaps, and priming bare surfaces. Proper prep work is essential for paint adhesion and longevity.
For interior projects, we move furniture, protect floors and fixtures, fill nail holes, sand glossy surfaces, and prime stained or discolored areas. We also remove switch plates and outlet covers for clean, professional-looking results.
Extensive preparation takes time but prevents common problems like peeling, cracking, and uneven coverage. We don’t skip prep steps to lower bids because shortcuts always show up later as paint failure and customer dissatisfaction.
