LIMITED TWO YEAR WARRANTY

Peace of Mind with our Limited Two-Year Warranty

At CertaPro Painters®, our promise has always been that of Certainty — reassuring our customers of a worry-free and easy property improvement. Our limited two-year warranty can help provide you with some peace of mind as CertaPro Painters® refreshes your space.

In order to make a valid warranty claim, you will need to:

• Pay the full contract price.
• Retain a copy of the original contract.
• Retain a copy of your cancelled check or other evidence of payment in full.
• Pay for all materials used to perform the repairs.
• Make the property accessible to CertaPro Painters® to inspect the property and perform any warranty work and/or repairs

Please also note:

• This warranty gives you specific legal rights. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.


• This limited warranty is the only express warranty made by CertaPro Painters® and is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied. This warranty covers only those services provided by CertaPro Painters® to the original purchaser named on the front of the contract. In no event shall CertaPro Painters® be liable for incidental or consequential damages or damages in excess of the original contract price. This warranty may not be altered or extended for any purpose unless done so in writing in a document executed by all parties to this contract.

Subject to the limitations set forth below, for a period of two years from the date of completion of the work described on the front of your contract, the independently owned and operated CertaPro Painters® Franchise Owner named on the front of your contract will repair peeling, blistering or chipping paint resulting from defective workmanship.
