Why Westland's homes paint differently than Canton's.

Westland became a city in 1966, and most of its housing — including the long-established Norwayne area — went up in the post-war decades that followed. That means a lot of original wood trim, older siding, and paint layers that have built up over 50+ years. Before we open a can, we check for loose or peeling paint, soft wood, and prior lead-based coats on anything built before 1978, and we prep accordingly instead of painting over problems.

If your house is one of Westland's many ranch or split-level homes, we've probably already painted one just like it.

Westland questions

Specific to older homes.

Often, yes. Westland's median home was built around 1969, and a lot of that mid-century siding and trim has gone through multiple repaints already. We spend extra time scraping loose paint and spot-priming bare wood on older homes instead of just rolling a fresh coat over what's already failing.

Homes built before 1978 — which describes a large share of Westland's housing — may have lead-based paint under newer layers. If your home falls into that category, ask us about lead-safe prep practices when you book your quote.
