Painters in Leelanau County
We paint the lake side in the dry weeks of early summer, finish before you open the house, and put every surface in a written scope first.

What are Leelanau County houses like to paint?
Village houses, farmhouses and shore cottages
The county mixes village houses in Suttons Bay, Leland and Northport with lake cottages, farmhouses and custom homes along the Lake Michigan shore and Grand Traverse Bay. Many have cedar or painted wood siding, deep porches and a lot of painted trim.
How does the weather change the work?
The peninsula juts into the lake, so wind and humidity reach the walls from several sides, and freeze-thaw cycles split failing paint at joints and end grain. West walls in Leland and Northport take the wind off the lake, so we wash and recaulk those first. On exposed elevations we recommend Sherwin-Williams Emerald Exterior or Duration Exterior.
How do you schedule around seasonal owners?
Many Leelanau houses are second homes. We book exterior work for the warm part of the season, and interior work in spring or fall when the house is empty. See seasonal homes in the FAQ.
