Protect Your Home With Fresh Exterior Paint

Exterior painting services for homeowners in Lansing, Michigan.

If the siding or trim on your Lansing home is peeling, faded, or showing bare wood, exterior painting protects the surfaces and improves curb appeal. Michigan weather includes freezing winters, humid summers, and temperature swings that cause paint to crack and lose adhesion over time. Homes in Lansing with older paint or wood siding are especially vulnerable to moisture intrusion and rot if the coating is no longer sealing the surface.

ProEdge Home Solution LLC provides exterior painting to refresh siding, trim, and exterior details. The work includes proper preparation to improve paint adhesion and longevity, and it helps protect homes from Michigan weather and seasonal temperature changes. Exterior painting coordinates well with deck repair and exterior trim work, and it is scheduled during suitable weather windows when temperatures and humidity allow for proper drying and curing.

How Exterior Painting Protects and Refreshes Your Home

Exterior painting begins with surface prep that includes scraping loose paint, sanding rough areas, and washing dirt and mildew off the siding. In Lansing, it is common to find homes with paint that has started to peel around window frames, door trim, or areas where moisture collects. Those sections get scraped down to a stable surface, primed, and repainted so the new coating bonds properly and lasts longer.

Once surfaces are prepped, paint is applied in even coats with attention to coverage and weather resistance. You will notice that the siding looks uniform in color, trim lines are sharp and clean, and the finish holds up to rain and sun without peeling or fading quickly. The paint acts as a protective barrier that keeps moisture out and extends the life of the underlying materials.

Exterior painting is scheduled during suitable weather windows to allow for proper drying and curing, and it works well alongside other exterior projects such as deck repair or trim replacement. The work does not include siding replacement or structural repairs, but it does cover all the prep and coating needed to protect and refresh the visible surfaces.

Here are the answers to a few common questions

Homeowners in Lansing often ask about timing, paint types, and how long the finish will last. The answers below address the most common concerns that come up before exterior painting begins.

When is the best time to paint the exterior of a house?
Late spring through early fall is the best time for exterior painting in Lansing because temperatures are warm enough for paint to cure properly and rain is less frequent. Painting is not recommended when temperatures drop below 50 degrees or when rain is expected within 24 hours.
How long does exterior paint last?
Exterior paint typically lasts five to ten years, depending on the quality of the paint, the condition of the surface, and how well it was prepped before application. Homes with good surface prep and high-quality paint tend to last longer.
What happens if the siding is damaged underneath the paint?
Damaged siding should be repaired or replaced before painting begins. Painting over rotted or warped boards will not fix the underlying issue and can lead to further damage.
Can you paint over old paint without scraping?
Old paint that is still adhering well can be painted over after cleaning and light sanding, but any loose or peeling paint must be scraped off first. Proper prep ensures the new paint bonds correctly and lasts longer.
How long does exterior painting take?
Most exterior painting projects take three to five days, depending on the size of the home, the amount of prep work needed, and weather conditions. You will have a clearer timeline after the initial estimate.
