Old and new on the same street

Birmingham's neighborhoods near downtown and around Quarton Lake and Poppleton Park include many homes built before World War II, often with plaster walls, original wood trim and wood siding. Mixed in are newer homes built on the same lots. We regularly see both kinds of projects in the same week.

Painting older Birmingham homes

Older homes need more preparation. Plaster cracks are opened and repaired rather than just covered, old trim with many layers of paint is sanded smooth, and wood siding is scraped and primed where it has failed.

Homes built before 1978 may have lead-based paint in older layers. If your home is that age, mention it when you book your estimate so we can talk through how the work will be handled.

Newer homes and renovations

New construction and recent renovations usually need a color change, a more durable finish than the builder's flat paint, or cabinets refinished to match a new design. These go quickly when the walls are in good shape.

Exteriors near downtown

Tighter lots and close neighbors mean planning matters on exterior jobs: where ladders go, how overspray and debris are contained, and keeping driveways and walkways clear.

The JMJ prep standard

Painting Is Easy. Preparation Makes It Last.

Most paint failures, like peeling, cracking and patches that show, trace back to rushed prep. Four of the six layers in a lasting paint job go on before any color does.

  • Surface cleaning and pressure washing
  • Scraping and sanding
  • Drywall and plaster repair
  • Wood repair where needed
  • Caulking at windows, trim and corners
  • Primer matched to the surface
  • Floors, furniture and landscaping protected

What JMJ Customers Say

★★★★★
“Joe the owner was Very professional, kind and reasonably priced. Employees were just as respectful and thorough through out the whole project. They painted the whole interior of my house, they painted my upper kitchen cabinets and stained my lower and they came out amazing. They also replaced rotted boards on my exterior siding and painted the whole exterior. I have recommended them. They are my go to painters if needed again. Many thanks to Joe and the guys for doing an amazing job. Very pleased.”

“Joe from JMJ gave my wife and I a good presentation and a fare bid on painting our home. Joe also gave an ETA on when they would start the job and stood by it! Good job JMJ”

“I hired JMJ Painting and Powereasbinh to paint a few rooms in my house and they did a great job. They showed up on time, worked efficiently, and paid close attention to detail. The edges were clean, the finish looks great, and they were careful to protect my furniture and floors. Everything was cleaned up afterward, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. I'm really happy with how it turned out and would definitely recommend them.”

FAQ

Painting In Birmingham

Can you repair plaster walls?

Yes. Plaster cracks are a regular part of our work in older Birmingham homes. They're repaired and primed before painting so they don't come back through the finish.

My house was built before 1978. What should I know?

Older homes may have lead-based paint in earlier layers. Let us know your home's age when you request an estimate so we can discuss it during the walkthrough.

Can you paint a house on a tight downtown lot?

Yes. Ladder placement, overspray control, debris containment and keeping driveways and walkways clear are all planned before the exterior starts.

Do you also paint in nearby areas?

Yes. From Birmingham we also work in Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Township, Beverly Hills, Royal Oak, Troy and West Bloomfield. Not sure if we come to you? Call or text (248) 671-3124.
