Painting Done Right
The First Time

A quality exterior paint job in Michigan typically lasts 7–10 years, depending on surface (wood, brick, vinyl, aluminum), sun exposure, shade, and product selection. Longevity comes from thorough prep—washing, scraping/sanding, caulking, spot-priming bare areas—and timely wood replacement where needed. Our exterior house painters specify coatings matched to freeze–thaw cycles, humidity, and UV, then apply the proper film build so your finish resists peeling and fading.

Yes. Painting over soft or decayed trim shortens the life of the coating. We repair or replace rotted fascia, soffits, and trim before we paint, then prime end-cuts and seams for better adhesion and moisture control. This step helps your new finish look crisp and last its full service life.

Yes, these are common projects in Metro Detroit. For vinyl siding painting, we use vinyl-safe colors and products engineered to handle expansion and heat. For aluminum siding refinishing, we wash away chalk and mask thoroughly, and we use primers/topcoats designed to bond to metal for a factory-like finish. Ask us about color options and the prep your specific siding will need.

Spring through fall. We schedule to meet the manufacturer’s temperature and humidity windows so the paint cures properly. If a cold snap or heavy rain is coming, we’ll adjust the plan and communicate proactively so your exterior house painting stays on track and your finish isn’t compromised.

Most kitchen cabinet painting projects finish in 3–5 days, depending on size, layout, and repairs. We remove and label doors/drawers, set up a clean spray zone, sand and prime for adhesion, and then apply a sprayed, furniture-grade finish. Hardware is reinstalled, and everything is re-hung with care. You’ll receive care instructions so the finish hardens/cures correctly.

Pricing depends on square footage, surface type, repairs, color changes, access, and product. Exteriors with significant wood replacement, multi-colors, or complex prep take longer and cost more. For cabinets, factors include the number of doors/drawers and whether we fill grain or change hardware.

This allows you to make your final selections with confidence before your project begins.

For exteriors: trim back shrubs where possible, move patio items from walls, and ensure driveway access. For interiors: clear small décor and fragile items; we’ll move or protect larger furniture.
