Exterior Paint Job Warranty ?

[Robert11]

Hello:

Is it customary these days for an exterior house paint job for the Contractor to warranty or guaranty the job against paint peeling, etc. ? If so, what's a reasonable time period (live in New England) ?

Or, are there just too many variable involved to realistically expect him to do so ?

Thanks, Bob

one year is general rule of thumb. if it's directly on the coast, i wouldn't even expect that

Mine was 2 years. The painting company has been in business about 10 years. That is important too.
