In Detroit, painting costs can range from $2,500 to $7,500 for a typical home, depending on size and complexity. Detroit's housing stock is diverse, from historic brick colonials to modern lofts. Painting these structures is more than cosmetic; it's a strategic investment that protects surfaces, boosts value, and differentiates your property in a competitive market.
