What we do

Interior and exterior painting for homes across Macomb County — along with the washing, patching and carpentry that has to happen before the first coat. Every job starts with a free estimate.

01 — Exterior painting

Built for Michigan
weather

Siding, gables, soffits, fascia, shutters, garage doors and entry doors. Exteriors fail from the outside in, so the surface gets washed and sound before anything is coated — chalky siding, failing caulk and bad boards all get dealt with first.

  • Wash down and full masking of windows, doors and landscaping
  • Damaged siding and trim boards replaced before priming
  • Board-and-batten, lap siding, brick and block
  • Clean cut lines where paint meets brick, stone or roofing

02 — Interior painting

We leave the room
better than we found it

Walls, ceilings, trim, doors and cabinets. The part of interior work that matters most is what happens around the paint: covering what stays, moving what has to move, and cutting edges that look sharp from a foot away.

  • Furniture covered and floors protected before we open a can
  • Walls, vaulted and flat ceilings, doors, trim and cabinets
  • Patching and sanding rolled into the same visit
  • Site tidied and the room put back at the end of each day

03 — Siding & trim

Paint will not
fix rotten wood

Coating a failing board just hides it for a season. Where siding or trim has gone soft, we cut it out and replace it, then prime and paint the repair so it disappears into the rest of the house.

  • Damaged siding boards cut out and replaced
  • New trim, corner boards and batten fitted
  • Repairs primed and coated to match the surrounding finish
  • Caulking and sealing at joints, corners and penetrations

04 — Drywall & minor repairs

Flat walls first

Nail pops, hairline cracks, dents, corner damage and old water marks. These get patched, sanded and blended as part of the paint job, not billed as a separate trade — because a fresh coat over a bad patch just makes the patch obvious.

  • Nail pops, cracks, dents and small holes filled and sanded
  • Corner bead and edge damage rebuilt
  • Texture matched so repairs disappear under the finish coat
  • Larger drywall work quoted honestly, or referred on

05 — Power washing

Sometimes a wash
is all it needs

Siding, brick, concrete, walks and drives. We power wash as the first stage of an exterior repaint, and we will do it as a standalone job too — occasionally a house that looks like it needs painting only needs cleaning.

  • House siding, brick and block
  • Driveways, walkways and porches
  • Standalone, or bundled into an exterior repaint
  • We will tell you honestly if paint is not the answer
