Interior & Exterior Painting services in River Rouge
River Rouge sits where the Rouge River meets the Detroit River, with Zug Island and its heavy industry inside the city limits. Homes are mostly older frame houses and brick bungalows from the first half of the 1900s, built close together. Two things are hard on paint here. Open wind off the Detroit River drives rain into siding joints and window frames. Industrial dust settles on every surface and has to be washed off before primer or paint will stick. On older frame houses we often find several layers of old paint, some of it likely to contain lead, with bare and peeling patches on the weather side. Those need scraping, spot priming and caulk before finish coats. West Jefferson Avenue has shops and warehouse buildings with painted block and metal that need the right primer for each surface.

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 about any work that goes beyond painting.
