The cost to paint the exterior of your home depends on several factors—including the size of your home, the number of stories, the condition of the existing paint and surfaces, the type of siding, and even the color palette you choose. Most exterior projects we handle in the Brighton, MI area typically fall between $4,000–$12,000.
We don’t believe in surprise costs or vague quotes. Instead, we do an on-site walk-through, talk with you about your goals, and deliver a detailed, line-item estimate that breaks everything down. If something can be done more affordably without compromising quality, we’ll let you know. Our mission is to bring your vision to life—within a budget that works for you.
Interior painting is typically more flexible and scalable. Whether you’re painting a single bedroom or your entire main floor, pricing is based on square footage, ceiling height, wall condition, number of coats, and any special finishes or trim work.
A full interior refresh might range from $3,000–$8,000+, depending on scope. For smaller jobs—like a single room or hallway—it could be far less. We always offer transparent pricing for all interior painting jobs so you know exactly what you’re paying for and what kind of transformation you can expect.
Most exterior painting projects take between 3 to 7 days from start to finish. That includes all prep work, painting, and clean-up.
What affects the timeline? The weather (especially in Michigan!), surface condition, the size of your home, number of coats, and the complexity of your design choices. We build in time buffers to make sure we never rush the process—because good prep and even coats are what make the finish last for years to come.
Painting the interior of a home can range from a one-day refresh of a room to a week-long whole-home transformation. Generally, we can complete most full interior projects in 3 to 5 days—depending on how many rooms, their size, and how much detail work is involved (like baseboards, ceilings, or built-ins).
We plan our schedule to work efficiently without sacrificing precision—and we make sure your daily routine stays as undisturbed as possible.
Not much. That’s our job—and we take it seriously. We handle all surface prep, including:
We may ask you to remove artwork, fragile items, or electronics—but we’ll give you a clear checklist to prep for your interior painting job before we start. Our goal is to make this process as easy on you as possible, so all you need to think about is how great your home’s going to look when we’re done.
