What is the Exterior Painting Warranty?

Exterior Painting Warranty is a guarantee from a painting contractor or company that their work will last for a certain period of time before losing its quality. I came to know about this when I hired a painter to get my house exterior repainted. The painter said, generally, these warranties cover the paint, workmanship, material, etc issues. He told me that the average lifespan of an exterior paint job is between three to ten years. 

What does the Average Exterior Paint Warranty Cover?

When I checked, the exterior paint warranty covers mostly painting and workmanship issues. Painting issues include issues such as chips or peels. In the case of workmanship, it covers mistakes such as improper technique or if the surface wasn't prepared properly. 

However, there are some things that the warranty doesn’t cover. These include:

• Any damage caused by extreme weather conditions.

• Doesn't cover roof leak issues

• It also doesn’t cover damages caused by the owner.

You should know that a lifetime exterior paint warranty isn’t available on any paints available in India. I hope I have answered your question well. Let me know if you still have any doubts. 

If you are trying to learn about exterior painting warranty, I can help you. As per my understanding, an exterior paint warranty is a guarantee provided by painting companies. This ensures that the work done by them will be good and will last for a specified period of time. If any defects arise then the company will take care of it. 

What are the Different Types of Warranties?

There are different types of warranties: 

Labour Warranty: 

This covers the costs linked to mistakes in the work done, like if the surface wasn't prepared properly or if there were mistakes in applying the paint. A labor warranty usually pays for the labor needed to fix or repaint the surface.

Material Warranty: 

A material warranty is when there's something wrong with the paint itself, like if it chips or peels off. This warranty means the paint company will either replace the bad paint or give you your money back.

Comprehensive Warranty: 

A comprehensive warranty brings together both labor and material warranties, giving homeowners broader coverage for any issues that might come up.

The length of these warranties is different but is typically 2-8 years, depending on the type of paint chosen. For example, Asian Paints offers a range of warranties for their products, from 3 years for some products to up to 15 years for others.

Here are a few things that are not covered in an exterior paint lifetime warranty:

• Insect infestation

• Temperature fluctuations

• Moisture or mildew damage

• Cracks from the walls contracting and expanding

• Problems related to structural defects

And that’s about it for the exterior painting warranty. I hope this helps.
