Interior & Exterior Painting services in Eastpointe
Eastpointe, once called East Detroit, sits along Gratiot Avenue just north of Eight Mile. Its houses are mostly bungalows, Cape Cods and small ranches built from the 1920s to the 1950s on narrow lots. Brick fronts with aluminum or vinyl sides are common, and so are frame houses that are sided all the way round. Dormers, gable ends, wood porch posts and detached garages take the weather and need paint most often. Inside, the older homes have plaster walls and ceilings. Cracks along ceiling lines and over doorways are normal in houses of this age and can be repaired before painting. Most homes here were built before 1978, so old paint may contain lead. Many houses are rentals, where durable, washable finishes and quick turnarounds matter. Snow, ice and summer storms make sound caulk and primer the most important part of an exterior job.

HOA and local rules
Painting itself rarely needs a permit. Landlords should ask the city what its rental inspection requires for peeling or chipping paint.
