Siding & exterior walls
Discuss wood and other paintable exterior surfaces, along with appropriate coatings.
EXTERIOR PAINTING · CLINTON TOWNSHIP
Exterior painting built around the condition of your home.
Michigan exteriors deal with wet seasons, summer sun, temperature changes and long winters. The finish depends on what happens before a new coat goes on. Peter Gjonaj brings 30+ years of painting experience and offers a 3-year exterior paint warranty, subject to written terms.

Good exterior work starts with an honest look at the surface.
A faded wall and a peeling wall do not call for the same preparation. Surfaces may need washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, spot priming or repair before a fresh finish makes sense. The right approach changes with the underlying material and the extent of the damage.
Your estimate should separate the surfaces being painted from excluded repairs, list the major preparation work and explain the intended coating system. This matters especially for wood siding, fascia, shutters, garage doors and trim exposed to repeated weather cycles.
Peter has been based in Clinton Township for years and understands the range of houses found across Macomb County and greater Metro Detroit. That local familiarity informs the conversation about exterior maintenance—not a one-size-fits-all promise.
PROJECT SCOPE
What to talk through before work begins
Scope and surface condition determine the plan. The items below are conversation starters, not promises that every optional service is included.
Trim, fascia & doors
Detailed work around shutters, window trim, entry doors, garage doors and exposed wood.
Preparation & protection
Review washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, priming, weather conditions and cleanup.
A CLEARER ESTIMATE
What influences exterior painting cost?
A detailed bid helps you compare the work being proposed—not just the final number. Peter's work is positioned on experience and quality, rather than being the lowest-priced option.
Describe your projectDetails to share with Peter
- Home size, stories, rooflines and safe access
- The amount of loose paint, damaged wood or failed caulking
- Substrate type, previous coatings and the coating system specified
- Window trim, doors, shutters, detached structures and other details
MICHIGAN CONTEXT
Timing matters in Southeast Michigan
Exterior coatings have temperature, surface-moisture and drying requirements. Rather than promising that every spring or fall day is paintable, plan around the specific product and actual conditions. Our region also experiences freezing temperatures and seasonal snow, making maintenance and water management important. Ask Peter how weather affects scheduling and surface readiness.
For older homes: painting work that disturbs coatings in certain pre-1978 buildings may fall under lead-safe renovation rules. Verify applicable certification and requirements before work begins. Michigan lead-paint guidance ↗

GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you request an estimate
Answers depend on the surfaces, condition and project scope. A conversation is better than a blanket promise.
Is there an exterior paint warranty?
A 3-year exterior paint warranty is advertised. Ask for written coverage, eligibility, exclusions and maintenance obligations with the estimate.
Can you paint over peeling paint?
The cause and extent of failure should be evaluated first; simply covering loose paint is not a sound preparation plan.
What time of year can my house be painted?
The available window depends on the coating, actual surface temperatures, moisture and drying conditions—not the calendar alone.
Do you handle older homes?
Describe the age and surfaces of the house. Pre-1978 housing may require lead-safe practices where painted surfaces will be disturbed; certifications must be verified before covered work.
