Siding, trim and doors painted to hold up through a Michigan winter, prepped properly before a drop of color goes on.
Exterior painting here runs roughly April through October, once overnight temperatures stay above what the coating manufacturer specifies. We schedule around the forecast, not a fixed calendar date, and we won't paint over a surface that's too cold, too wet or too humid for the finish to cure properly. That's the difference between paint that lasts five years and paint that bubbles by the second winter.
Homes near Reeds Lake and in Eastown often have original wood trim and siding layered with decades of paint, which means more scraping and lead-safe prep. Newer homes in Cascade, Ada and Forest Hills are more often vinyl or fiber cement with less prep but stricter HOA rules on color. Both get the same priority: prep first, color second.
Yes, where one applies. Tell us your association when you book and we will confirm the color is approved before we schedule the work.
Generally April through October in West Michigan, when temperature and humidity stay within the coating manufacturer's range.
Both, along with fiber cement. Each needs different prep and a paint formulated for that surface.
Typically seven to ten years with proper prep, less if caulking and priming were skipped. We won't skip them.
Minor wood repair, yes. Significant rot gets flagged before we paint over it, since paint doesn't fix structural wood.
