Exterior Residential Painting

Enhance Your Home's Curb Appeal with Customized Painting Solutions

Unlike interior painting solutions, outside paint needs to be tough in order to withstand harsh weather elements, temperature changes, moisture, and even pests or rodents. In order to do all that, you need to use a paint mixture with the proper resin that can resist chipping, peeling, and color fading when exposed under extreme sunlight for a long period of time.

Exterior paints are generally oil based, which also means it’s trickier to achieve a clean and smooth finish without the proper knowledge and experience garnered throughout the years. To save you the trouble of committing any mistakes by DIY, we encourage you to enlist the professional exterior painting in Livonia services of GetPro Painting, as we ensure top quality work at very competitive prices.

Prep Work 101

The Key to a Successful Exterior Painting Project

Prep work of the surface being painted is the foundation of a successful project. All exterior painting in Livonia and exterior painting in detroit start out with the through surface preparation (power washing, sanding, scraping, using the right primer, etc.) using the right caulking for the area being caulked and then topping the surface off with the right paint.

The paint is different for every project, as every project has a budget with the goal of aesthetic and preservation. This can and will be achieved by clear communication of weighing the benefits of the different options and potential long-term savings by using higher grades of materials which in a lot of cases (and on particular surfaces) make a lot of sense. For instance, industrial interior painting requires specific types of paint and preparation to ensure durability and longevity in demanding environments.

FAQ's

The cost of painting a home can vary significantly based on several factors, typically ranging from $2,500 to $7,000. Key considerations include the size of the home, the extent of prep work needed, the types of surfaces and substrates involved, the amount of trim to be painted, and local labor rates. For optimal results, exterior painting projects are often best entrusted to professional painters. To obtain an accurate estimate for your project, schedule a free consultation with GetPro Painting.

To calculate the cost of painting the exterior of a house, start by measuring the perimeter of the house and multiplying it by the roofline height to determine the exterior area. Then, measure the perimeter of each room and multiply it by the ceiling height to find the wall area. Additionally, measure the ceiling area if you plan to paint it. After determining the areas to be painted, calculate the amount of paint needed based on the square footage and cost per gallon. Factor in the cost of painting tools and labor if hiring professionals. Finally, divide the total cost estimate by the total square footage to estimate the price per square foot.

While basic painting jobs often don’t require permits from municipalities, undertaking more involved tasks such as structural modifications or significant exterior changes may warrant permission. It’s advisable to consult local authorities as regulations can differ based on location and the nature of the project.

We recommend using paints from Sherwin William, Benjamin Moore, and PPG. Here are the best paints for exterior home painting you should use :

  • Superpaint Exterior Acrylic Latex
  • Duration Exterior Acrylic Latex
  • Emerald Exterior Acrylic Latex
  • Aura® Exterior Paint  
  • Regal® Select Exterior Paint
  • Element Guard® Exterior Paint  
  • MANOR HALL® EXTERIOR LATEX PAINT

Rainy weather and wet surfaces present significant challenges for painting. Rain can wash away wet paint and prevent paint from adhering to wet surfaces. When it’s raining, paint won’t dry properly and may wash away. The most effective solution is to schedule painting on dry days to avoid these issues altogether.

Typically, it’s advised not to paint when the temperature falls below 35°F unless using a paint specifically designed for such conditions. Yet, other factors also matter. Paints, like materials, respond to fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

A new coat of paint does more than enhance appearance. Quality exterior paint and professional painting services provide an additional layer of protection against the elements, safeguarding your home from weather damage, pests, and dust. Moreover, the paint can help prevent exterior wood from rotting.

To prepare your house for exterior painting, follow these steps:

  1. Inspect the surface for damage, noting areas needing repair.
  2. Clean the surface thoroughly using a pressure washer or scrub brush.
  3. Repair any damage with wood filler and caulk gaps, and remove loose paint.
  4. Protect surrounding areas with plastic, drop cloths, and painter’s tape.
  5. Sand the surface smooth and apply a primer compatible with your paint type.
  6. Choose high-quality exterior paint suitable for your surface and climate.
  7. Apply the paint using a brush, roller, or sprayer for optimal coverage and finish.

GetPro transformed my staircase! They were very precise in their work! Extremely professional, courteous, on time and clean in their work. They did the stain in the after photo as well as the painting around the staircase. Would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for phenomenal paint and stain work.I am adding to my review to talk about another project GetPro did for us! The pictures show the before and after of our garage and the epoxy flooring they did. They did such clean work and made sure no dust got anywhere else in the house or outside. It's non-slip and very strong. Would definitely recommend!

GetPro Painting are true professionals! Mike Jordan, Arun and John Schulter should be recognized as being highly competent, detail oriented, efficient and communicative. As displayed in the photos, they transformed the dated exterior of our 168 unit mid tower apartment building (located in Troy, MI) to a modernized luxury complex. They were always attentive to our needs and concerns and would never say “I can’t” but instead say“ it’s my pleasure’! What a great team to work with. I look forward to utilizing their high quality services in the near future. Great work guys!Respectfully,K.E. MoloneySenior Project ManagerPepper Pike Capital Partners
