Interior & Exterior Painting services in Royal Oak
Royal Oak has two kinds of housing. The south and center of the city, around downtown and Vinsetta Boulevard, were built mostly in the 1920s: bungalows, colonials and Tudors with wood siding, stucco panels, half timbering and brick. The north end was built after World War II and has brick ranches and Cape Cods with aluminum or vinyl on the gables. Older homes have wood windows, plaster walls and detailed trim, and they need careful scraping and priming. Many have been remodeled, so cabinet painting and new drywall next to old plaster are common requests. Stucco on Tudor gables develops hairline cracks through Michigan's freeze and thaw seasons, and those should be sealed before paint. Mature trees shade many streets, which keeps siding damp longer after rain. Pre-1978 paint is the rule here, not the exception, so lead-safe work methods apply on most jobs.

HOA and local rules
Painting itself rarely needs a permit. If your home is a locally designated historic property, ask the city whether exterior changes need review before you start.
