Painters in Pontiac, Michigan

Pontiac's older frame houses and bungalows carry a century of layered paint, so the exterior estimate here is mostly about how much has to come off before anything goes on.

Painting Pontiac houses, specifically

Many of these houses date to the 1910s through the 1930s. Wood siding, deep trim, and eight or ten coats of history, some of it sound, much of it not. Scraping back to a firm edge and feathering the transition so it does not telegraph through the finish is the majority of the labour, and any quote that does not account for it is quoting a different job.

Homes of this age in Michigan frequently pre-date the 1978 lead-paint rule. Where that applies we work to the lead-safe practices required for the surface in question rather than dry-scraping and sweeping up afterwards, and we will say so at the walkthrough.

Interiors are plaster more often than drywall: real plaster over lath, which cracks along its own lines rather than at drywall seams and wants a different repair before it is coated.

What customers say

Bello Painting did a fantastic job on our home’s exterior. Marcus and his crew were friendly, showed up when they said they would, and worked hard to get everything done on time. They paid attention to the details, and the house looks fresh and brand new.
