Painters on Old Mission Peninsula
We paint the bay side while the weather is dry, finish before you arrive for the season, and write every porch, rail and trim board into the scope first.
M22 Fresh Coats paints houses on Old Mission Peninsula: farmhouses, bay cottages and custom homes. We do interior painting, exterior painting, cabinet refinishing and stain, and we schedule around summer residents. Water sits on both sides of the peninsula, so we prep exteriors for wind and humidity.
What are Old Mission Peninsula houses like to paint?
Farmhouses and bay cottages between two bays
The peninsula holds older farmhouses, bay cottages and larger custom homes that sit among orchards and vineyards, many with wide porches, painted clapboard and a lot of exterior trim. Some houses are full-time homes. Many are summer homes.
How does the peninsula change the exterior work?
Water lies on both sides, so wind reaches most walls and humidity stays high. South- and west-facing elevations take the strongest sun. We wash off bay mildew, scrape failed paint, caulk joints and spot-prime bare wood before two coats. Sherwin-Williams Emerald Exterior and Duration Exterior suit exposed walls.
When do you paint here?
Spring is for wash and repair, and early summer is the first paint window. We book the weeks before you arrive and after you leave early, and we paint interiors in the shoulder seasons.

Old Mission Peninsula painting questions
Do you paint houses on Old Mission Peninsula?
Yes. Send your address and a few photos, or call (231) 642-6282, and we set a time to look at the house.
Can you paint a cottage on Old Mission in spring?
Spring suits washing, scraping and repair, and interior painting. Exterior paint goes on once nights stay warm and the wood dries, usually late spring to early summer.
Do you work around summer residents on the peninsula?
Yes. Tell us when you open and close the house. We finish before you arrive and keep you posted while we work.
