The Robinson Painting Warranty: Our Commitment to Your Investment

Q: What warranty does Robinson Painting offer on exterior painting?

We offer two tiers of exterior labor warranty based on the Sherwin-Williams product you choose: a 10-year labor warranty with Emerald Exterior Acrylic Latex (our "Best" tier) and a 5-year labor warranty with SuperPaint Exterior Acrylic Latex (our "Better" tier). Both cover peeling, blistering, or chipping caused by our workmanship.

Q: Is caulking covered under the Robinson Painting warranty?

Caulking falls under standard home maintenance rather than our labor warranty. Think of caulk like a rubber band—residential cracks hold less material, and as your home naturally shifts with Colorado’s temperature swings, these small bands may re-crack over time. This is normal and not a failure of the paint application.

Q: Is the Robinson Painting warranty transferable if I sell my house?

Yes. Our warranties are fully transferable with proof of purchase. Simply provide the new homeowner with your paid-in-full receipt from your painting project. This adds real value to your home sale and gives the next owner confidence in the quality of the finish.

Q: What is not covered under Robinson Painting’s exterior warranty?

Items classified as standard home maintenance are not covered, including: caulk re-cracking from natural home settling, horizontal surfaces subject to standing water, snow, or foot traffic (decks, railings, walking surfaces), and damage caused by structural shifts, settling, or moisture intrusion from leaking gutters or roofs.

Q: Why is the warranty shorter for stained surfaces than for painted surfaces?

It’s all about the Colorado sun. Paint creates a heavy-duty shield on top of your home, while stain is absorbed into the wood grain. Because wood is a natural material that breathes and shifts with our extreme temperature swings, stain naturally wears down faster than paint. We provide a 1-year warranty to ensure your initial application is perfect, but we recommend regular maintenance to keep that wood protected for the long haul.

Exterior Labor Warranties

Our exterior warranties are designed to protect your home against the harsh Colorado elements. The length of your warranty is determined by the premium Sherwin-Williams product you choose for your project:

10-Year Labor Warranty

Product: Sherwin-Williams Emerald^® Exterior Acrylic Latex.

The Coverage: This is our “Best” tier protection. When you choose our top-tier product and the Robinson Standard application, we provide a full 10-year warranty on our labor to ensure your home remains the best-looking house on the block. (Note: In some cases, warranties may be honored for other paint products with prior written consent from Robinson Painting of Colorado LLC.)

5-Year Labor Warranty

Product: Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint^® Exterior Acrylic Latex.

The Coverage: Our “Better” tier protection. SuperPaint is a Colorado staple, and when applied with our mandatory two-coat system, we confidently back it with a 5-year labor warranty. (Note: In some cases, warranties may be honored for other paint products with prior written consent from Robinson Painting of Colorado LLC.)

1-Year Labor Warranty (Stained Surfaces)

Product: Premium Exterior Stains (Solid or Semi-Transparent).

The Coverage: Due to the nature of wood stains and the intense UV exposure on the Front Range, we offer a 1-year labor warranty on all stained surfaces.

Why the difference? Unlike paint, which creates a thick protective shell, stain is designed to penetrate the wood. Because Colorado’s climate causes wood to expand and contract rapidly, stained surfaces require more frequent maintenance to stay protected.

What Is Covered?

Our labor warranty covers the integrity of our application. If you experience peeling, blistering, or chipping as a result of our workmanship, we will return to scrape, prime, and repaint the affected areas at no cost to you.

Understanding Your Home’s Maintenance

To provide total transparency, there are a few things that fall under standard home maintenance rather than a labor warranty:

The Rubber Band Analogy (Caulking)

We re-caulk all previously caulked surfaces during prep. However, think of caulk like a rubber band; because residential cracks are small, they hold less material. As your home naturally shifts with Colorado’s temperature swings, these “rubber bands” may snap or re-crack. This is a normal part of home maintenance and not a failure of the paint application.

Horizontal Surfaces

Due to standing water, snow, and foot traffic, decks, railings, walking surfaces, and other horizontal surfaces are subject to extreme wear and are typically excluded from standard vertical-wall warranties.

Substrate Issues

Damage caused by structural shifts, settling, or moisture intrusion from leaking gutters/roofs is not covered by the paint warranty.

The “Satisfaction First” Guarantee

The strongest warranty we offer isn’t on a piece of paper—it’s our 0% Down Policy.

No Deposits: We take 100% of the risk.
Mandatory Walk-Through: You perform a final, critical inspection with our Team Lead before a single dollar is exchanged.
Total Peace of Mind: We aren’t finished until you say we are.
