Interior & Exterior Painting services in Ypsilanti
Ypsilanti is one of the oldest towns in Washtenaw County, and its housing shows it. Depot Town and the streets around Huron and River hold Victorian and Italianate houses with wood clapboard, turned porch posts and a great deal of trim. Normal Park and College Heights, near Eastern Michigan University, are mostly 1920s to 1950s homes with plaster walls, wood windows and some brick. Many houses near campus are rentals that get repainted often and not always well, so thick, cracked layers are common. Nearly all of this was built before 1978, which means lead-safe prep on most exterior scraping. The Huron River valley keeps air damp, and Michigan freeze and thaw opens every gap in old caulk. Good exterior work here is mostly scraping, priming bare wood and sealing joints before the finish coats.

HOA and local rules
Painting on its own rarely needs a building permit. Ypsilanti has a large local historic district with a Historic District Commission, so ask the city before you change the exterior of a house inside it.
