Here's what we were working with on this Grosse Pointe Farms home - peeling, cracked paint pulling away from the siding on both the house and the detached garage. Bare wood exposed in spots. Old paint lifting in sheets. It was the kind of condition where slapping new paint over the top just isn't an option.

The real work on a job like this happens before a single drop of finish coat goes on. We scraped, sanded, and prepped every surface thoroughly - getting all the way down to a stable base before touching a brush. That's the step a lot of painters rush or skip entirely. It's also the exact reason paint fails early and starts peeling again within a year or two.

Once the prep was done right, we applied top-of-the-line Benjamin Moore products for the finish. The color choice - a deep charcoal paired with clean white trim - gave the whole property a sharp, cohesive look that ties the house and garage together. The brick stays as-is, and it works perfectly against the new color palette.

The difference between before and after on this one is hard to miss. But the part you can't see is just as important - a properly prepped surface means the paint has something solid to bond to. That's what separates a paint job that lasts from one that's peeling again in two seasons.

This is what high-end custom exterior painting actually looks like. Not just a fresh coat of color, but a process that protects the home and holds up against Michigan weather for years to come.
