What Is a Painting Workmanship Warranty?
A painting workmanship warranty is our promise to you that the work we do meets industry standards of the PCA (Paint contractor association) and follows manufacturer guidelines. At D’Franco Painting & Wallpaper, we offer a 3-year workmanship warranty. This means if paint peels, bubbles, or fails due to our application, we’ll come back and fix it. It’s our way of standing behind our work and ensuring your satisfaction.
What’s Covered: The Good Stuff
Our warranty covers issues that arise from our workmanship, including:
- Peeling or bubbling paint due to improper application
- Caulk failure when we’ve used high-quality, elastic-based products
- Cabinet paint that peels because it wasn’t done right
We aim to provide the best product and experience by adhering to industry standards.
What’s Not Covered: The Reality Check
While we stand by our work, there are certain things our warranty doesn’t cover:
- Nail Pops – These are often due to structural shifts or settling
- Drywall Cracks – Especially in ceiling corners, caused by house settling
- Caulk Failure from External Factors – Like slamming doors causing pressure shifts
- Tape Damage – Using the wrong tape or removing it too soon can pull off paint
- Previous Paint Jobs – We can’t guarantee work done before us
- Deck Surfaces – Due to Midwest weather conditions, decks are challenging to warranty
