• Skipped surface preparation — paint and stain only last as long as the prep underneath.
• Big-box bargain product on a high-exposure surface — failure inside 2-3 freeze-thaw cycles.
• Wrong product family for the substrate — incompatibility causes peeling and delamination.

Pricing is project-specific. Call (989) 268-7676 for a free on-site estimate; most quotes are scheduled within 48 hours.

• Sherwin-Williams premium product line matched to substrate
• Pre-treatment, primer, and patch product matched to surface condition

Most properly prepped and coated surfaces in Michigan's Thumb climate last 8-15 years before a full recoat is due; high-exposure elevations weather faster.

• Cleaning and stripping of failed coatings
• Repair of damaged substrate
• Priming of bare or stained areas
• Caulking and masking

Annual visual inspection, soft-wash as needed, and a single maintenance coat to weather-exposed elevations every 3-5 years extends the system's full lifespan.
