Our warranty

What does our painting warranty and guarantee actually cover?

You want a painting job that holds up, not one that starts peeling a year after the crew drives off. When you hire McWilliams Painting, your work comes with a written warranty you can hold in your hand. That’s how a working painter stands behind his work. Here’s what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

7-year peel and chip warranty on paint

Exterior and interior paint is covered for 7 years against peeling and chipping. See our exterior painting and interior painting services.

Lifetime warranty on interior epoxy floors

Interior epoxy floors we install are backed against coating failure for as long as you own the home. Learn more about epoxy flooring.

5 years on exterior epoxy

Exterior epoxy carries a 5-year warranty on a maintained plan, because outdoor coatings take sun, heat and moisture that indoor floors never see.

Warranty terms in writing

You get a same-day written price with the warranty terms spelled out, so you know exactly what’s covered before anyone lifts a brush.

No payment until you’re satisfied

A foreman walks the finished job with you before you settle up. If something isn’t right, we fix it before you pay, not after.

A one-year follow-up call

About a year after your job is done, we call to check that the paint or coating is holding up and that you’re still happy with it.

The stakes

Why does a written warranty matter so much?

Here’s the plain truth. Many painters hand you a low bid and little or no written guarantee. If the paint peels, chips or bubbles a year later, that becomes your problem, not theirs. You call, and nobody picks up. That’s the hidden cost of the cheapest bid: you pay again to fix work you already paid for once.

Here’s what goes into every McWilliams job instead:

Full caulk-and-tape prep on every job
Two coats on everything
Quality Sherwin-Williams products matched to your surface

Paint warranty

What does the 7-year peel and chip paint warranty cover?

Your exterior and interior paint is covered for 7 years against peeling and chipping. In plain terms, if the paint film lifts off the surface or flakes away because of how it was applied, we come back and make it right. That covers the workmanship and the prep, which is where most early failures start.

The promise

When do I pay, and what is the one-year follow-up?

Two promises most painters don’t make: you see the finished work before you pay, and you hear from us again a year later.

You pay only when you’re satisfied

You don’t pay until you’re satisfied. Before you settle up, a foreman walks the whole job with you. You look at the lines, the corners, the trim, the little touches. If something isn’t right, we fix it before you pay, not after.

We call you about a year later

About a year after your job is done, we call you. Not to sell you something. We check that the paint or coating is holding up and that you’re still happy with how it looks. Most painters are gone the moment the check clears. We’d rather be the painter who calls back.

Services and areas we back in writing

We serve Lake, Sumter and Marion County, FL. The same warranty applies across our service area.

Your painting work from McWilliams Painting is backed in writing. Exterior and interior paint carries a 7-year peel and chip warranty. Interior epoxy carries a lifetime warranty, and exterior epoxy carries 5 years with a maintained plan. Every job includes two coats, full caulk-and-tape prep, and a one-year follow-up. Serving Lake, Sumter and Marion County, FL.

A real warranty changes who carries the risk. When it’s in writing, the painter has skin in the game. It’s the reason we take the extra hours to do full prep and two coats instead of rushing. We’d rather do it right the first time than come back to fix a shortcut. A written warranty tells you the painter plans to be around, plans to answer the phone, and plans to stand behind what he sold you.

We can offer that term because of what happens before the color goes on. Every job gets full caulk-and-tape prep, proper surface cleaning, and two coats on everything. We use quality Sherwin-Williams products matched to your surface, whether that’s stucco, wood trim, or block. Central Florida sun and humidity are hard on paint, so cutting the prep short is what leads to peeling. We don’t. The 7-year term is our promise that we didn’t.

Is the Interior Epoxy Warranty Really Lifetime?

Yes. Interior epoxy floors we install carry a lifetime warranty against failure of the coating. That means a garage floor, a laundry room, or an interior slab we coat is backed for as long as you own it. Exterior epoxy carries a 5-year warranty when it’s kept on a maintained plan, because outdoor coatings take sun, heat, and moisture that indoor floors never see.

The difference comes down to prep again. Before any coating goes down, we grind the concrete so the epoxy bonds to the slab instead of sitting on top of it. Skip that step and the coating peels up in sheets. We don’t skip it. That’s why we can put a lifetime term in writing on the inside floors.

That habit comes from how owner Weston McWilliams runs the business. He’s been in the trade since 2012, and his crews have been together 6-plus years, so the same hands that did your job know how to spot anything worth touching up. He’s built this on referrals and repeat customers across The Villages and Lake County, with 2,000 to 3,000 Villages homes painted. You don’t earn that by disappearing. You earn it by following up.

That’s the strongest promise we can make, and it removes the fear that keeps people up at night when they hire a painter. You aren’t handing over money and hoping. You’re seeing the finished work first, in person, with the person responsible for it standing next to you. Clean lines, no paint on your floors or furniture, two coats where you paid for two coats. Then you pay.

What Does Peace of Mind Actually Look Like?

Picture it a year out. The lines are still straight. The trim still looks sharp. No peeling at the corners, no chips near the door, no bubbling on the garage floor. You never had to chase anyone down, because the finish did what it was supposed to do. And when the phone rang, it was your painter checking in, not a stranger asking for more money. That’s what a real warranty buys you: not a piece of paper, but the freedom to stop worrying about the job and get back to enjoying your home.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 7-year peel and chip warranty cover?

It covers your exterior and interior paint against peeling and chipping for 7 years. If the paint film lifts or flakes because of the application or prep, we come back and make it right. Full prep and two coats are what let us stand behind that term.

Is the interior epoxy warranty really lifetime?

Yes. Interior epoxy floors we install carry a lifetime warranty against coating failure for as long as you own the home. Exterior epoxy carries a 5-year warranty on a maintained plan, since outdoor coatings face more sun and moisture.

When do I pay for the painting job?

You pay only after you’re satisfied. Before you settle up, a foreman walks the finished job with you. If anything isn’t right, we fix it before you pay.

Is the warranty in writing?

Yes. You get the warranty terms in writing with your estimate, before any work starts. You’ll know exactly what’s covered and for how long, so there are no surprises later.

Is the warranty transferable if I sell my home?

That depends on the specific warranty. Ask us during your estimate and we’ll spell it out in writing.

What is the one-year follow-up?

About a year after your job, we call to check that the paint or coating is still holding up and that you’re happy. It’s how we catch anything early and how we’ve earned so much repeat and referral work across Lake, Sumter and Marion County.

Why do you offer a longer warranty than most painters?

Because of the prep. Every job gets full caulk-and-tape prep and two coats using quality Sherwin-Williams products. That extra work is what makes a longer term possible, and it’s why our finishes hold up under Central Florida sun and humidity.

What areas do you back with this warranty?

We serve Lake, Sumter and Marion County, FL, including The Villages, Mount Dora, Eustis, Tavares, Leesburg, Ocala and nearby towns. The same warranty applies across our service area.
