Interior & Exterior Painting services in Melvindale
Melvindale is a compact Downriver city on the south bank of the Rouge River, next to Dearborn and the Ford Rouge complex. Much of the housing dates from the 1920s through the 1950s: small frame and brick bungalows, many with aluminum or vinyl siding and a later rear addition. Heavy industry and rail lines sit close to many streets, and airborne grit and soot settle on siding, trim and porch floors. Paint will not hold over that film, so a thorough wash is the first step of any exterior job here. Aluminum siding that has turned chalky needs the chalk removed and a primer made for it. Inside, smaller rooms and plaster walls are typical, and older kitchens often have solid wood cabinets that are good candidates for painting. Michigan winters and damp springs keep the exterior season fairly short.

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. Call the Building Department if the job includes repairs beyond painting.
