5-Year Premium Service Plan

College Works Painting always provides a quality service with high-quality products. Our premium service plan is designed to provide you with the absolute best products on the painting market today, along with even more extensive preparation to enhance paint adhesion to the surfaces of your home. This upgrade will add two to four years to the life of the paint job, and will also make the color you have chosen appear richer and brighter.

1. PRESSURE WASH THE HOME

The cleaner the surface, the better the paint will bond to that surface. It's essential for us to power wash the home to remove:

• Dirt
• Salt
• Mineral deposits

2. FULL PRIME COAT

The purpose of paint is to beautify and protect your home. A full coat of latex-based primer is applied to the home to provide an extra level of protection. Primer is used as a base coat because the epoxy-bonding agents help the paint stick better to the surface. It also helps leave a more even, thicker surface.

3. FINISH COAT

We use 100% acrylic paint for the top coat. Acrylic is more durable than vinyl or any other latex-based paints, and forms a harder shell as it dries and cures

4. THE GUARANTEE

We are so confident in the finished product and in our workmanship that we guarantee our materials for 5 years and guarantee labor for 2 years. This means that if anything were to come up during that 5 year period, you wouldn't be at all responsible for covering material cost. For the third, fourth, and fifth year you pay for the labor portion at $24/hour, which is about half of the industry average cost per hour.

No paint job is bulletproof, minor cracks and peeling may occur. A quality paint job will last for up to 10 years. The problem is that most people allow the problem to get worse by not touching up the job. These minor paint failures are made worse by exposure to moisture and sunlight, and extensive peeling and damage to the surface may increase exponentially over the next few seasons. When we have a warranty claim, it typically takes less than 4 hours. If you call us, we will be willing to come out every year to inspect your paint job and perform the necessary touch-ups.

5. 6-YEAR PRICE FREEZE

If you decide to have your home painted again at the end of our service plan, we will paint it for the same original contract price. Paint industry averages, accounting for inflation, show prices rising approximately 5% per year. This means that the cost of your next paint job could be 30% less than that of our average customer six years from now.
