When it comes to transforming your Northern Indiana home or business with a fresh coat of paint, it’s essential to ensure your investment is protected. A professional paint job not only enhances beauty and value — it also shields your property from everyday wear, weather, and time.
That’s why choosing a painting company with a reliable warranty is one of the smartest decisions you can make.
At Matthews’ Painting Company, we believe every homeowner deserves lasting quality and peace of mind. We know no paint product is indestructible and life happens — but with the right preparation, products, and warranty, your results can last for years.
Why a Warranty Matters
Painting is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your property. You want it to look flawless for as long as possible — and a warranty ensures that if issues do arise, they’ll be addressed without surprise costs.
While high-quality paint is built to endure, factors like moisture, UV exposure, and normal wear can affect appearance over time. A warranty gives you confidence that your painter will stand behind their work and make things right when necessary.
What to Look for in a Painting Warranty
If you compare painting contractors, is worth taking time to understand what a warranty really means, and what it says about the company offering it. Here are a few key things to consider:
1. Duration
The average paint warranty from most contractors lasts two years. At Matthews’ Painting, we back our work with a 7-Year Limited Warranty on interior and exterior applications — more than triple what most companies offer.
That extended coverage reflects our confidence in craftsmanship, surface preparation, and premium materials. If peeling, chipping, or blistering occurs due to improper workmanship, we’ll repair it at no cost for labor or materials.
2. Quality of Paint and Materials
A warranty is only as good as the products being used. High-quality paints and materials provide longer-lasting results and better protection.
At Matthews’ Painting, we use trusted, professional-grade products from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore — paints designed for exceptional adhesion, durability, and color retention.
Before signing a contract, it is wise to ask any painter what products they use and whether paint and materials are included in the warranty. Some contractors charge extra later and that is not always clear upfront in the warranty. At Matthews’, all materials are clearly stated in your proposal and covered by our warranty when applied by our team.
3. Professional Application
Even the best paint won’t perform well without proper surface preparation and application. Professional skill is what separates a long-lasting paint job from one that fails prematurely.
At Matthews’ Painting, our crews are trained to Painting Contractors Association (PCA) standards and follow detailed steps for cleaning, sanding, priming, and finishing each surface. This ensures every coat adheres properly and performs as intended. We also ensure that the moisture content in any raw substrate is within industry standards prior to applying any coating.
Touch-ups and repairs are also handled by our own painters — the same professionals who did the original work — so you can expect consistent results every time.
4. Transferability
Some warranties can even add value to your home, especially when they’re transferable to future homeowners. This feature shows long-term confidence in the work and gives potential buyers additional peace of mind.
Matthews’ Painting’s 7-Year Limited Warranty is fully transferable, meaning if you sell your home or business within the warranty period, the new owner enjoys the same protection. It’s a lasting benefit that adds real value to your property.
A Lifetime of Care: 4 Hours of Free Touch-Up Every Year
Even the best paint jobs experience the occasional scuff, scratch, or nick. That is why we go one step further with our Lifetime Touch-Up Warranty, offering 4 hours of free touch-up painting every year for as long as you own your home or business.
This unique benefit keeps your property looking freshly painted year after year without additional cost. Whether it’s high-traffic hallways, baseboards, or trim, our team will refresh those small details that make a big visual difference.
What’s Not Covered (and Why)
To keep our warranty fair and transparent, some exclusions apply — such as damage from moisture, prior coating failure, natural wear and tear, or acts of nature. However, many of these minor imperfections can still be addressed through your annual 4 hours of free touch-up service.
