FROM VICTORIAN PORCHES TO GOLF-COURSE COLONIALS
Few towns ask more of a painter than Northville: 1870s Victorians in the historic district on one side, Toll Brothers colonials around the golf course on the other. We bring craftsman prep and premium Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore finishes to both, with the owner overseeing every project.
Walk from the shops downtown past Mill Race Village and into the historic district around Cady, Rogers, and Randolph, and you are surrounded by Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, and Italianate homes standing since the 1860s. Head out toward Maybury State Park or into the township and the streets turn to 1990s and 2000s subdivisions with big colonials and manicured lots.
Painting well in Northville means respecting both, and knowing which techniques, products, and prep each one needs. That is exactly the range we work in every week.
THE CRAFTSMAN DIFFERENCE
Original wood siding, ornate porch trim, and 150 years of paint history make these homes the most demanding work a painter can take on, and the most rewarding. Our approach:
Lead-safe practices with containment and careful cleanup on every pre-1978 home, no exceptions on homes this old.
Restorative prep careful scraping, sanding, wood repairs, and priming that save original siding and millwork instead of burying them.
Multi-color trim schemes done with sharp hand-cut lines, so gables, brackets, and porch details read the way Victorian architecture intends.
Period-right palettes built with Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore historical color lines during your free consultation.
Care in the historic district exterior changes in the district can carry review steps, and our color documentation keeps the process smooth.
The township tells a different story: communities like Northville Hills Golf Club and the subdivisions off Six Mile and Beck Road were built in the 1990s and 2000s, and their original builder-grade paint is aging out right on schedule. Fading south-facing elevations, chalky trim, and interiors ready for a modern refresh are what we see most.
We deliver the upgrade: full prep, premium coatings matched to each substrate, sprayed trim and doors, and HOA color documentation where associations keep standards.
Designer-grade finishes for formal spaces, libraries, and custom millwork, with sprayed trim and flawless lines throughout.
Multi-substrate exteriors handled correctly: brick, stone accents, cedar, stucco, and wood trim, each with its own prep and coating.
Furniture-quality sprayed finishes for kitchens, butler pantries, and built-in libraries.

Yes. Ornate trim, original wood siding, and multi-color schemes are craftsman work, which is exactly our specialty. We prep restoratively, repair rather than replace where the wood allows, and cut every line by hand.
Interior work changes nothing. For exteriors, changes in the district can involve a review step, and we support you with color documentation and product details so approval moves quickly.
Homes this age almost always carry lead paint somewhere. We follow lead-safe work practices during sanding and prep, with containment and thorough cleanup that protect your family and your yard.
Yes, both sides of the county line: the city, the township, and the surrounding subdivisions. It is all a short drive from our Farmington Hills base.
With proper prep and premium coatings, roughly every 8 to 12 years, and often longer with touch-up care. Skipped prep cuts that in half, which is why we never skip it.
