Drywall warranties: what matters and what is fluff
Drywall warranties sound simple. The crew promises the work holds. But the details matter. What is covered. For how long. What voids it. Here is what to ask before you hire anyone.
What a good warranty covers
Workmanship. Seams that crack. Tape that lets go. Texture that fails. The things good work prevents.
Callback service. A real promise to come back. With a real phone number.
In writing. On the estimate. Not a handshake.
What it does not cover
New leaks. Foundation movement. Kids with doorknobs. Another trade's damage. Warranties cover our work. They do not insure your house.
Red flags
No written warranty. Walk away. Lifetime promises from a crew with no address. Fluff. Warranty longer than the company. A ten-year promise from a one-year crew is theater.
Our promise
Written on every estimate. If a seam we finished cracks, we come back and fix it. That is the whole policy. Call (301) 679-9193.
