Interior & Exterior Painting services in St. Clair Shores
St. Clair Shores runs along Lake St. Clair, and the lake shapes how paint behaves here. Wind off the water, damp air and winter ice are hard on anything facing east. Most houses were built in the 1950s and 1960s as brick ranches and bungalows, with wood or aluminum trim, sided gables and attached or detached garages. Along the canals and the lakefront you also find larger homes, boat houses, wood decks, docks and seawall railings that need stain or paint more often than the same surfaces inland. Mildew grows quickly on shaded north walls and under eaves near the water, so washing with a mildew cleaner comes before any primer. Inside, postwar plaster and drywall are in good shape in most homes, and kitchen cabinet painting is a frequent request. We plan lakeside exterior work around dew, wind and drying time.

HOA and local rules
Painting itself rarely needs a permit. Work on docks, seawalls or decks beyond painting and staining may need one, so ask the city first.
