Historic homes near downtown
Northville's historic district is known for Victorian-era and early-twentieth-century homes with wood siding, porches, brackets and detailed trim. These houses look their best with several carefully chosen colors and lose the most when paint is rushed.
Old wood siding and trim usually need scraping, sanding and spot priming, and any soft or rotted pieces should be repaired before painting. Porches and railings take time and attention to detail.
If your home is in Northville's historic district, check with the city on whether exterior changes need review before you pick new colors.
Newer Northville homes
Outside the historic core, most homes are newer subdivision houses. Typical projects there are interior repaints, cabinet refinishing and exterior trim and doors.
Interiors
In older homes, plaster and many layers of trim paint need more prep. In newer homes, it's usually builder-grade paint and nail pops. Either way, repairs are made and primed before finish coats.
