Interior & Exterior Painting services in Grosse Pointe
The City of Grosse Pointe is about one square mile on Lake St. Clair, with its downtown, the Village, along Kercheval Avenue. Most homes were built between the 1910s and the 1930s in Tudor, Colonial and other revival styles. Exterior painting here is detail work: stucco and half-timber gables, wood windows with many small panes, shutters, columns, dentil trim and paneled front doors. Brick is usually left natural, and that is often the right call for the house. Wind and damp air off the lake reach the blocks near Jefferson Avenue, and large old trees keep walls shaded, so mildew and slow drying are common. Inside you find original plaster, tall ceilings, crown molding and built-in cabinets, all of which reward careful prep and a steady brush. Old paint on homes of this age may contain lead.

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. Ask the Building Department whether any local review applies to a change of exterior color or to painting brick at your address.
