Interior & Exterior Painting services in Dearborn Heights
Dearborn Heights became a city in 1960, and most of its homes are postwar brick ranches and bungalows. On a brick house the painting work is mostly trim: fascia, soffits, gable ends, window and door frames, shutters and garage doors. Many gables and additions are covered in aluminum siding from the 1950s and 1960s, which goes chalky with age and takes paint well once it is washed and primed. Inside, these houses usually have plaster or early drywall, low ceilings and a lot of stained wood trim that owners now want painted. The Rouge River and Ecorse Creek keep some lots damp and shaded, so mildew on north walls has to be washed off before any coating goes on. Cold winters and humid summers both shorten the outdoor painting season here.

HOA and local rules
Painting on its own does not normally need a building permit in Michigan, because the state construction code rules list painting as finish work. Repairs that go beyond painting, such as new siding or structural porch work, are a different matter, so check with the Building Department first.
