How often should you repaint your home's exterior in Michigan?
Most Michigan homes need an exterior repaint about every 5-10 years, depending on the siding material, previous paint quality, surface preparation, and exposure to the elements. Fluctuating temperatures, moisture, snow, and summer sun all affect how long exterior paint lasts.
When is the best time to paint a home's exterior in Michigan?
Exterior painting in Michigan is typically best done between late spring and early fall, when temperatures and humidity allow paint to cure properly.

Smaller jobs can take 1-2 days, including power washing, while full multi-color exterior repaints can take up to a week. We'll give you a clear timeline for your project at your estimate.
How soon can you start?
Most projects start about 2 weeks after you sign your estimate, and tighter timelines can sometimes be accommodated. A 25% deposit may be taken to hold your spot on the schedule.
Does exterior painting include caulking and repairs?
