Painters in Royal Oak, Michigan

Royal Oak is 1920s bungalows and tudors on narrow lots: plaster inside, narrow wood siding and deep trim outside, and neighbours close enough that the schedule matters.

Painting Royal Oak houses, specifically

The classic Royal Oak exterior is narrow lap siding with wide corner boards, a deep frieze, and a porch with turned or boxed columns. There is far more trim per square foot than on a post-war ranch, and trim is where exteriors fail. We quote these by the element rather than by the square foot, because the siding is rarely the expensive part.

Lots are tight. On many streets the gap between houses is under ten feet, which rules out some staging and means ladders land in the neighbour's bed. We agree access with you before the first day rather than knocking on doors mid-job.

Inside, plaster and picture rail are common, and so are the small structural cracks that plaster develops and drywall does not. Those get filled and sanded flush, not skimmed over. A filled plaster crack that was not sanded reappears under a low winter sun through the front window.
