Understanding Southern Painting’s 3-Year Limited Labor Warranty

A written warranty is one of the clearest signs that a painting company stands behind its work. At Southern Painting, we back every completed job with our transferable 3-Year Limited Labor Warranty. This post will explain in straightforward language what our warranty covers, what it doesn’t, how it operates, and why its transferability can be especially valuable for homeowners.

What Our 3-Year Limited Labor Warranty Covers

Our 3-Year Limited Labor Warranty is centered around guaranteeing the workmanship of our paint services. For three years from the date of application, Southern Painting assures our customers that the completed paint services will not peel, blister, or flake.

This guarantee reflects our commitment to standing behind our work and delivering the quality homeowners expect. However, it is specifically a workmanship warranty on completed paint services and should not be assumed to cover every possible issue.

Specific Terms of Coverage

While most completed paint services are covered for three years, certain items have a shorter warranty period. Specifically, doors and French or wood windows are covered by a one-year warranty. This specification helps to ensure that our customers have a clear understanding of what to expect.

Additionally, it’s vital to be honest about what our warranty does not cover. The following items are not warranted under any circumstances:

• Caulk
• Horizontal surfaces
• Galvanized metal
• Rust
• Decks
• Mildew
• Other interior or exterior moisture damage
• Issues caused by the house shifting or settling

Exclusions and Additional Details

Our warranty is a workmanship warranty. Therefore, it does not extend to the paint product itself, which is covered by the manufacturer, such as Sherwin-Williams® or Benjamin Moore®. Causes outside of workmanship, including regular aging and wear, foundation problems, wood rot, weather, and severe blistering or caulk separation due to intense or direct heat, are also not covered.

If a workmanship defect that is covered arises within three years and is reported to us in writing, the process is straightforward: your local Southern Painting team will inspect the area and repair the paint in the affected area only. Importantly, the warranty doesn’t cover repairs to underlying substrates such as wood, Masonite, brick, or metal and doesn’t cover any consequential damage. The sole remedy under the warranty is the repair of the defective painted area.

Why Transferability Is Important

The transferability of our warranty matters, particularly if you decide to sell your home. The warranty transfers in full to a new owner, which can be a significant reassurance to potential buyers knowing that the work is under warranty. All warranty services are managed through your local Southern Painting team, providing a consistent and reliable experience.

Before any project begins, any home-specific exclusions are disclosed in writing on the estimate. Complete and exact terms of the warranty are available in our full written warranty document.
