Understanding Southern Painting’s 3-Year Limited Labor Warranty

A written, transferable warranty is one of the clearest signs a painter genuinely stands behind their work. At Southern Painting, we back every completed job with a transferable 3-Year Limited Labor Warranty. This post will explain in plain language what this warranty covers, what it does not, how it operates, and the added value of its transferability.

What the Warranty Covers

Our 3-Year Limited Labor Warranty ensures that the workmanship on your completed paint services is protected for three years from the date of application. Specifically, we guarantee that the paint will not peel, blister, or flake due to workmanship defects. This commitment reflects our belief in standing behind our work. However, it is important to note that this warranty is a workmanship guarantee on completed paint services, subject to specific limitations.

During this period, if a covered workmanship defect occurs, and it is reported in writing, your local Southern Painting team will inspect the affected area and carry out necessary repainting to restore the effected paint. The scope is limited to the defective painted area only, and it does not include any underlying substrate repairs or consequential damages.

While our warranty primarily spans three years, please note that doors and French or wood windows carry a one-year warranty. This detail ensures transparency and understanding, helping to prevent any surprises.

What the Warranty Does Not Cover

For clarity, the warranty has specific exclusions. It does not cover:

• Caulk
• Horizontal surfaces, like flat decks
• Galvanized metal
• Rust
• Decks
• Mildew
• Any interior or exterior moisture damage
• Damage from house settling or shifting

The warranty is focused on workmanship; hence, the paint product itself is covered under the manufacturer’s warranty—such as those from Sherwin-Williams® and Benjamin Moore®—not by Southern Painting. Additionally, damage from causes outside workmanship, including natural aging and wear, foundation settling, wood rot, weather effects, or severe blistering from extreme heat, are not covered.

Why Transferability Matters

A notable benefit of our warranty is its transferability. Should you decide to sell your home within the warranty period, the full warranty can be transferred to the new owner. This not only reassures potential buyers that the work is backed but can also add value during the selling process. All warranty service inquiries are managed by your local Southern Painting team, ensuring consistent and accessible support.

Transparent Terms

Before any work begins, our teams provide a detailed written estimate that discloses any home-specific exclusions. For the exact and complete terms, we always recommend reviewing the full written warranty document. This transparency is part of why the warranty is trusted by our clients.
