Fairfield County CT & Westchester NY Warranty & Process
What We Guarantee
Workmanship Coverage
Covers issues caused by application or workmanship—such as peeling tied to prep/application errors, missed areas, or finish failures linked to our work. If something isn’t holding the way it should, we inspect first, document findings, and provide a clear plan. This is workmanship accountability—not vague “best effort” language.
5-Year Term
Your workmanship coverage runs for five years from project completion, documented in a written warranty. You’ll know the covered areas, the scope assumptions, and the maintenance expectations from day one. No verbal promises—everything that matters is written and easy to reference.
Annual Review
Check-In Once per year, you can request a review window and we’ll schedule a visual check of key stress points. We document what we see and classify the outcome: no action, touch-up, or maintenance recommendation. This is preventive support—serious companies track performance over time.
What Isn’t Covered: Moisture intrusion, active leaks, structural movement, settling cracks, impact damage, abuse, and substrate failure outside our control. Paint and coating manufacturer defects fall under the product warranty, not workmanship. If conditions change after completion (new moisture, new damage), we’ll explain the cause and options clearly.
The Regal Method: Our 5-Step Process (Owner-Checked)
01
Request & Scope Confirmation
Our Fairfield County estimate process starts by confirming exactly what you want done—and what “done right” means for your specific surfaces. You’ll see a clear scope outline covering areas, surfaces, access, timing, and priorities, so the estimate matches the pricing factors.
02
On-Site Walkthrough (or Photo Review)
Next, we identify the surface conditions that affect durability and schedule. You’ll see notes on repairs, peeling areas, moisture risk points, and protection needs, with an owner checkpoint to confirm the prep and system plan before any dates are locked.
03
Prep & Protection Standards
04
Application System (Coats and Finish)
05
Final Walkthrough + Touch-Up
Finally, we confirm the details, document completion, and leave a clear care plan. You’ll see a walkthrough list, touch-ups completed, cleanup confirmation, and a warranty summary, with an owner checkpoint to verify close-out standards and explain next-step support.
Steps and prep depth are scope-dependent; any changes are documented in writing before work continues.
Annual Review Program: Preventive Support, Not “Unlimited Warranty”
Request Your Yearly Check-In Window
We Inspect What Actually Fails First
Outcome: No Action / Touch-Up / Maintenance
Plan If everything is holding, we document “no action.” If touch-ups are needed, we outline scope and timing. If the issue is environmental (moisture/movement), we’ll explain what’s driving it and what to fix first. The goal is prevention and clarity—without turning it into a sales pitch.
Annual review is a preventive program; it does not extend coverage to moisture, leaks, structural movement, or new damage.

Process & Warranty FAQ (Fairfield County CT + Westchester County NY)
What does the 5-year workmanship warranty cover?
It covers workmanship-related issues tied to our application and prep standards—within the written scope of your project. If a finish failure is linked to how the surface was prepared or coated, we inspect and document it. You’ll get a clear plan for remedy, not vague assurances. Coverage is always defined by the written scope, so expectations stay clean.
What isn’t covered (moisture/leaks/structural movement)?
Moisture intrusion, active leaks, and structural movement can cause paint to fail even with correct workmanship. Those conditions are outside a painter’s control and are excluded to avoid “grey-area” promises. We’ll still inspect, explain the cause in plain language, and outline your options. If remediation is needed, we’ll tell you what must be fixed first before repainting.
How does the annual review check-in work?
Once per year, you request a review window and we confirm service area coverage for Fairfield County or Westchester County. We inspect typical stress points—trim edges, caulk lines, high-exposure walls, and wear zones. You receive an outcome: no action, touch-up scope, or a maintenance recommendation. It’s preventive support—meant to keep small issues from becoming expensive ones.
Do you do one coat or two coats?
We use a system-based approach: coverage depends on substrate, color change, sheen, and condition. Most repaints require two finish coats for uniformity, and primer is used when adhesion or blocking is needed. Instead of “one-size quotes,” we document coats and surfaces in the written scope. That’s how we avoid thin coverage and uneven sheen—especially on trim and doors.
What makes your prep different?
Prep is treated as the foundation: cleaning/washing when needed, scraping, sanding, caulking, patching, and priming. We protect floors, furniture, and landscaping first, then verify prep before finish work begins. This reduces peeling risk and improves finish smoothness—especially in Northeast weather cycles. If prep needs change after inspection, it’s documented before the job continues.
How do change orders work?
Do I need to be home during the project?
Not always. For exteriors, many homeowners prefer to be away while we work, and we coordinate access clearly. For interiors, we plan rooms and pathways so the home stays functional, with protection and daily cleanup. We’ll confirm access points, pets, alarms, and timing during scope confirmation. You stay informed without needing to supervise the work.
What should I do to prepare my home?
Who purchases the paint/materials?
We typically supply the coatings specified in the written scope so the system matches the surface conditions. That includes primers when required and finish materials chosen for durability and finish control. If you prefer a specific line, we’ll confirm compatibility and document it in writing. The priority is performance—no mismatched products that shorten lifespan.
How soon can you start after approval?
Start timing depends on season, project size, and surface readiness—especially for exterior work. After approval, we confirm a realistic start window and any prep dependencies (repairs, drying time, weather). You’ll receive clear scheduling expectations instead of vague “maybe next week.” Fairfield and Westchester schedules move smoothly when scope and timing are locked early.
