Sherwin-Williams Duration
Duration earns its money when washability, moisture resistance and dependable coverage matter. It is a strong fit for hardworking interiors and many exterior repaints where long-term protection matters.

Local, insured, accountable
Exit Strategies Property Solutions — formerly operating as Exit Strategies LLC — is a Lansing, Michigan painting and property-services company founded by D’Paris Alward in 2024. Painting, cleaning, turns and practical property work come together under one clear scope.

Meet the Owner
Exit Strategies Property Solutions was built around a simple idea: do good work, communicate clearly, and treat every property like it matters.
I started Exit Strategies because I saw a need for a property services company that could do more than show up, complete one task, and disappear. Homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial clients need people they can depend on, people who understand the entire scope of a project and can help move it from problem to finished result.
Today, Exit Strategies handles painting, drywall repair, cabinet refinishing, cleaning, turnovers, exterior work, property maintenance, and larger projects coordinated through trusted trade partners. My role is making sure the customer has one clear point of contact, the scope is understood, the work is handled correctly, and we leave the property better than we found it.
I’m proud of the reputation we’re building throughout Lansing and Mid Michigan, but I’m even more proud that our growth is coming from real work, repeat customers, referrals, and relationships.
We’re not trying to be the biggest company overnight. We’re building a company people remember because we showed up, communicated, solved the problem, and stood behind the work.

What we paint with and why
The coating is matched to the surface, traffic, exposure and finish you expect. The right prep and the right system matter more than a label alone.

Emerald makes sense when the finish itself is the priority: smoother leveling, rich color and a premium look on high-visibility rooms, trim and detailed surfaces.
SuperDeck is built for exterior wood, but the exact product still depends on whether the deck is bare, weathered or carrying an older coating. Moisture and preparation decide whether a deck finish lasts.
Service area
Residential and commercial projects across greater Lansing. Larger projects may justify travel beyond the core area.
