Warranty
By the law here in Alaska, Painting Contractors that offer Painting Services to customers are NOT required to give a warranty of any kind to any painting project where paint is applied on the inside or outside of the house or building.
Many painting companies take advantage of this. They skip a lot of the necessary prep-work needed to get the job done right that makes the exterior paint last. The end result is that the customer has to paint the house or building yet again in just a couple years after being done.
At The Paint Anchorage Team, we like to think we do things differently. By offering a 5-Year Warranty to our customers. We are basically going above and beyond what the state of Alaska even requires us to do. Also giving you a fantastic value and peace of mind for your money.
On this page, we’ll explain why we’re able to offer an extensive warranty and why Alaska houses need this kind of protection.
Below is an overview of what our warranty covers and does not cover on this page…
We are Specialty Contractor and warrants workmanship for a period of 54 months from the final billing period. The Paint Anchorage Team warrants against paint being missed in spots, peeling, chipping and/or blistering of paint we apply resulting from faulty workmanship.
If paint failure appears during the warranty period due to improper workmanship, The Paint Anchorage Team will supply all the labor and materials to correct the problem areas. Warranty service shall be as prompt as possible and courteous when getting the work done.
We only use Lifetime Warranty paint products from Sherwin Williams and this is the only brand we will warranty.
For this Warranty to be Valid, you must…
- Pay the Full Contract Amount
- Retain a copy of the Original Contract

The Paint Anchorage Team personnel in a timely manor will inspect requests for warranty work before repair work is done in the area of faulty workmanship.
NOTE: We will match the paint color as best as we can however, it might not match perfectly due to paint fading from the sun and/or weather conditions. Also, the summers get quite busy for us and we would like you to have a little patient’s with us in order to fit your warranty work in the schedule.
We will normally finish the warranty work in a timely manor, but definitely getting the work done before the summer ends that we were notified of the warranty work. If notified in the winter it will be put in the schedule for the following summer.
