DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PROPOSAL
ALL WORK TO BE COMPLETED PER PCA STANDARDS. A FULL LIST OF STANDARDS CAN BE FOUND AT WWW.PCAPAINTED.ORG SURFACE
PREPARATION:

Level 2 – This level includes scraping only to remove all presently loose and peeling paint. Paint that is adhering firmly need not be removed. No sanding will be done to feather the edges. This lack of feathering will not affect the adhesion of the paint job and hence it is still fully warranted. A ridge may be noticeable however, where scraping has been done, especially if the finish coat has a gloss. This level is usually quite adequate for newer homes (up to 20 years old), homes without extensive peeling or numbers of previous paint films. https://freepaintquote.as.me/

Level 3 – This level includes a thorough scrape as in Level 2 plus sanding to feather the edges, where noted. Sanding is expensive and usually need not to be done everywhere. The decision as to what areas are to be feathered must be made by the Client at the time of the Proposal. Sanding will only be done where appropriate. At no time will sanding of any nature be done on surfaces where lead was previously applied (generally, homes older than 1978).

MINOR MAINTENANCE – Puttying and Caulking: These are important on an exterior paint job, as they help keep the house properly sealed against exterior moisture and internal heat loss. They do, however, add expense, especially as more of it is done. For this reason varying levels are provided to suit particular client needs. No Checks at All: No Puttying or caulking will be done. When staining over wood putty or caulking the putty or caulking will likely accept the stain differently than the surrounding substrate and may not match in appearance.

SCOPE NOTES – If your proposal includes windows, a window is defined as the most exterior wood face. If a window is behind a storm or screen, the window sash and backside of the storm or screen is not assumed a part of the scope unless specifically noted. Downspouts and gutters that have been painted previously may be repainted per contractor’s discretion unless specifically noted to omit or include. Downspouts and gutters that have not been painted previously will not be assumed unless specifically noted.

COLORS – Colors must be chosen by the client prior to commencement of work. If, after the job starts, a color change is required, Pointer Painting will have to charge for time and material expenses incurred on the original color.

UNFORESEEN CONDITIONS – Should conditions arise which could not be determined by visual inspection prior to starting work, (e.g., rotten wood, poor coverage, extreme paint consumption), the Client must pay an agreed upon extra for the completion of such work.

LIMITED THREE-YEAR WARRANTY
For a period of 36 months from the completion date of the work performed pursuant to this contract, Pointer Painting warrants against the peeling and blistering of the paint applied as the result of inadequate surface preparation, and/or improper application.

For this warranty to be effective, you must:

• Pay the full contract price.
• Retain a copy of the original proposal and contract.
• Retain a copy of your invoice, check copy, or other evidence of payment in full.

Pointer Painting will:

• Perform any covered repair at no labor cost to you, the original purchaser.
• Perform any covered repairs during the painting season provided that Pointer Painting is notified of a claim under this Warranty by July 15th. In the event that Pointer Painting is not notified until after July 15th, covered repairs will be performed during the following painting season.
• Perform any covered repairs only on the specific areas where peeling and/or blistering has occurred. An exact color match cannot be assured, as there is a likelihood that the original paint will have faded.

What you should do to have the covered repairs performed:

• Contact Pointer Painting by email at office@pointerpainting.com by July 15th to have the covered repairs performed that painting season.
• Pointer Painting will arrange for an inspection of your property and notify you promptly of the nature and extent (if any) of the covered paint
  repairs and Pointer Painting plan for performing the same.

THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:

• Any work where you provided the paint that was used.
• Any horizontal surface or any surface that as a result of structural design permits moisture to collect. This includes, but is not limited to decks, railings, stairs, porches, roofs and gutters.
• Any peeling or blistering that Pointer Painting determined is the result of a moisture problem.
• Any peeling, blistering or cracking that Pointer Painting determines is the result of the buildup of excessive layers of paint.
• Any fine cracking in older layers of paint. Sometimes referred to as “alligatoring,” this is common on older homes with many previous layers of paint.
  Eventually these cracks will show through the newly applied top coat.
• Varnished surfaces or surfaces made of, or containing, galvanized metal.
• Conditions that are the result of a failure in the paint itself, including but not limited to, fading, chalking, flashing and lapping.
• The appearance of mildew, mold or any other environmental conditions.
• Bleeding knot holes, rust stains and/or cedar bleeds. Cedar bleed is the result of naturally occurring tannins in the wood and it unrelated to paint application.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE ONLY EXPRESS WARRANTY MADE BY Pointer Painting AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THIS WARRANTY IS APPLICABLE ONLY TO PAINTING SERVICE PROVIDED TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER WHO IS IDENTIFIED ON THE FRONT COVER OF THIS CONTRACT. Pointer Painting SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM MATERIALS, WORKMANSHIP OR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, NOR SHALL Pointer Painting BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT PRICE. AT NO TIME MAY THIS WARRANTY BE ALTERED OR EXTENDED FOR ANY PURPOSE.

ANY PERSON OR COMPANY SUPPLYING LABOR OR MATERIALS FOR THIS IMPROVEMENT TO YOUR PROPERTY MAY FILE A LIEN AGAINST YOUR PROPERTY IF THAT PERSON OR COMPANY IS NOT PAID FOR THE CONTRIBUTIONS. UNDER TENNESSEE STATE LAW YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PAY PERSONS WHO SUPPLIED LABOR OR MATERIALS FOR THIS IMPROVEMENT DIRECTLY AND DEDUCT THIS AMOUNT FROM OUR CONTRACT PRICE, OR WITHHOLD THE AMOUNTS DUE TO THEM FROM US UNTIL 120 DAYS AFTER COMPLETION OF THE IMPROVEMENT UNLESS WE GIVE YOU A LIEN WAIVER SIGNED BY PERSONS WHO SUPPLIED ANY LABOR OR MATERIALS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT AND WHO GAVE YOU TIMELY NOTICE. INVOICE PAYMENTS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 15 DAYS WILL BE SUBJECT TO A 5% LATE FEE.
