George Noyes made the first land purchase here in 1824, and the county’s first school, the McCracken School, opened in 1825. The land was still part of Ann Arbor Township when that township formed in 1827, and the name Pitt was suggested by Ezra Carpenter. The 2020 census counted 39,147 residents.
I-94 crosses the northern part of the township, US-23 runs north and south along its east side and US-12, West Michigan Avenue, cuts diagonally across the south. Paint Creek begins in the northeast corner, and the Ann Arbor District Library opened its Pittsfield branch in 2006.
Faded siding and trim get a fresh look through exterior painting, and brick painted long ago can be redone with painted brick refinishing.
New sheets go up with drywall installation, then the space is finished with interior painting.
Make the lower level livable with basement finishing and a durable coated floor.
Cover gray concrete with garage floor coatings or a swirled mica finish.
Here is the complete lineup, organized as outside work, inside work, floor coatings and boat care. Every service links to a full page on how we handle it and what you can choose. Add one or several to your Pittsfield estimate request.
Exterior House Painting
Loose, flaking spots are scraped and spot-primed, then your siding, trim, doors and shutters are painted in your chosen colors.
Pressure Washing & Soft Washing
Driveways, sidewalks, decks and fences cleaned with pressure, while painted or vinyl siding gets a softer, low-pressure wash.
Surface Restoration
Tired cabinets, doors, hardwood, painted brick and railings refinished, and soft or rotted outside boards fixed.
Interior Painting
Ceilings, walls, trim, doors and stairs painted room by room, with flooring and furniture kept covered.
Drywall Installation & Repair
Each dent, hole or crack patched so it vanishes, with full new drywall hung and finished for remodels.
Interior Renovation
Light refreshes or full rebuilds of kitchens and baths, finished basements and flooring installs, with licensed electricians and plumbers coordinated.
Garage Floor Coatings
Every slab is prepped according to its shape, then finished in flake epoxy, mica flake, polish or acid stain.
Basement Epoxy Flooring
Lower-level concrete given flake, mica or an acid stain after a moisture check. Waterproofing is not offered.
Mica & Decorative Epoxy
Metallic-looking swirls or speckled mica flake for workshops, entries, basements, garages and great rooms.

A plain concrete slab in a Pittsfield garage picks up oil drips, tracked-in salt and dust that never quite sweeps away. Coating it or polishing it changes that, leaving a surface that is easy to keep clean and looks like part of the house instead of an afterthought.
Below grade, the slab is looked over for cracks, residue and old sealers, and a moisture test comes before any product goes down. Water coming through the walls or floor is a job for a waterproofing contractor, and it has to be handled before we coat anything.
| Finish and appearance | Garage | Basement |
|---|---|---|
Epoxy Flake
A broadcast of colored flakes over the base layer gives a speckled look with light texture that disguises daily grime, and slip resistance can be increased.
|
Offered | Offered |
Mica Epoxy
Shimmering mica blended into the epoxy by hand creates moving color and depth, and every floor comes out one of a kind.
|
Offered | Offered |
Polished Concrete
The concrete itself is ground and refined in several passes to a satin sheen, with nothing applied on top. Available in garages only, not basements.
|
Offered | Not offered |
Acid-Stained Concrete
Acid stain reacts with the slab to leave uneven, earthy color, then a clear sealer is applied as protection.

Each floor system has its own color range, which we walk through together as part of your Pittsfield estimate.
Before tearing out floors, cabinets or doors in a Pittsfield home, it is worth a second look. Most of the time the damage sits in the top layer, and sound wood underneath can be fixed, sanded and finished again. If a piece really cannot be saved, the estimate says so.

Some Pittsfield kitchens only need a color change and a new floor, while some bathrooms are due for a full redo. Our interior renovation crew starts by mapping the job out with you: what you keep, what gets swapped out and the finished style you have in mind.
Need wiring or plumbing changes? That part goes to licensed electricians and plumbers whose schedule we manage, with permits pulled whenever a job calls for one.
Whether a Pittsfield boat is parked beside the garage, tucked in a storage building or tied up at a lake for the season, our crew brings the polishers and repair supplies to that spot.
Faded gelcoat that leaves a chalky film on your hand has oxidized. Polishing cuts away that weathered layer so the original color and shine come through again.
How hull polishing works
Dock dings, small chips and fine gelcoat cracks are filled, leveled and color-matched to the surrounding finish. This is surface work only, not structural fiberglass repair.
Gelcoat repair details
Dull, water-stained pontoon logs are polished back to bright aluminum right where the boat is stored or docked.

Pittsfield Charter Township covers about 27 square miles of Washtenaw County just below Ann Arbor, and US-12 (West Michigan Avenue) cuts diagonally across its southern half. From our Whitmore Lake shop it is a drive of roughly 18 miles, which puts it near the southern edge of our coverage.
Our route takes in nine communities, Pittsfield included. Choose one below for its own page, or open the complete list of areas.
For a home off West Michigan Avenue or one in a subdivision near the Ann Arbor line, the first step does not change. You give us the address and the work involved, we follow up with a few questions and the free estimate breaks the job down stage by stage.
Several services can share one quote. A basement floor coating paired with fresh paint upstairs, or cabinet refinishing done together with new trim, is priced as a single request.
Houses to the south in York Township or west in Lodi Township could still fall within reach. Type the full address into the form higher up, and we can tell you whether the trip is one we make.
Straight answers to the painting, drywall and floor coating questions Pittsfield homeowners search for most.
Yes. Homes in Pittsfield Charter Township use Ann Arbor, Saline and Ypsilanti ZIP codes for mail, so the city on your envelope often differs from the township you live in. Either way, the address is inside our service area.
If your subdivision has a homeowners association, check its rules first, since many require approval of siding, trim and door colors. Once your colors are picked, you have the exact names to submit before the exterior painting is scheduled.
The usual causes are moisture getting behind the paint, paint applied over dirty or chalky surfaces, and old coats that have simply lost their grip. A lasting fix means scraping off the loose paint, repairing any rotted wood and priming bare spots before the new finish goes on.
A common approach is flat on ceilings, eggshell or satin on walls, and semi-gloss on trim, doors and bathrooms, because glossier paint wipes clean more easily. Higher sheen also shows wall flaws more, so the choice is talked over with you before painting starts.
Yes. Drywall paper and joint compound soak up paint at different rates, so skipping primer can leave dull, blotchy patches known as flashing. New sheets and repaired areas are primed before the finish coats; see our drywall page.
Yes. Covering a deep color with a pale one generally takes a coat of primer first and then the finish coats, so the old shade does not show through. That added step is included when the room is priced.
Garage floor paint is a thin film rolled on much like wall paint, and it tends to lift under hot tires. An epoxy system is built in layers on concrete prepared to accept it and finished with a tough clear layer on top, giving a thicker floor made for vehicles. See the systems we install for Pittsfield garage floors.
Often, yes. Oil that has soaked into concrete stops a coating from bonding, so stained spots are dealt with during prep, and the prep method depends on how the slab looks. If a stain runs too deep to treat, the estimate tells you.
Water vapor rising through a slab can push a coating loose from underneath. That is why moisture testing is one of our garage prep steps, done before any coating is applied.
Stain fits a wood door in good shape when you want the grain to show. Paint is the better pick when the door has filled dents or repairs that stain would highlight. Both are options in our front door refinishing.
