Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a painting company based in Addison Township?
None of the companies listed here are based in Addison Township. The closest is ABC Painter in Lake Orion, about 6.7 miles away. Ellison Painting is in Rochester, about 11.6 miles away, and Imperial Painting is in Utica, about 12.5 miles away. Diamond Painting LLC is in Rochester Hills, about 12.9 miles away. The Exterior Painters works from offices in Rochester Hills and Plymouth. All of them serve Addison Township.
When is the best time of year to paint a house exterior in Michigan?
Late spring through early fall is usually the best window in Michigan. Paint goes on and cures best on dry days when temperatures stay mild through the night, so cold early spring mornings and late fall frost are poor choices. Summer works well, though strong direct sun on a very hot day can make paint dry too fast. Plan around rain, and book early, since exterior painters often fill their schedules during the warm months.
Do house painters need a license in Michigan?
Yes. In Michigan, painting and decorating on a residential structure is a licensed trade. Contractors need a residential builder or maintenance and alteration license from LARA for jobs over $600. Ask any painter you are considering for the license number, and you can check it with LARA before you sign a contract or pay a deposit.
Does Roofing Army do painting?
No. Roofing Army does roofing only. For exterior painting, siding and wood replacement, Roofing Army sends its own customers to The Exterior Painters, which is run by the brother of Roofing Army's owner. If your painting project is tied to roof work, Roofing Army also inspects roofs for free in Addison Township, so you can have the roof checked before the house is painted.
