Preparation-Terms-Conditions-Limited warranty

PREPARATION: Customer is responsible to clean the work area and ceilings before our arrival, this will reduce the chance of anything landing on the coating. Customer is responsible for the cost to polish, remove or repair any foreign object or excess dust that lands on finished surface after the job has been completed. Remove from work place all loose Items prior to our arrival. This includes curtains, pictures, shower doors, mirrors, appliances, tables, accessories or any rugs. If we remove or move any item, it is a courtesy only and any damage is the customer’s responsibility. If we assist you the customer and something is damaged, we are not responsible for such damage.

PROTECTION FROM OVER SPRAY AND DRY DUST: To protect the immediate area we must mask it. Masking Tape can pull up wallpaper or paint like finish. Please alert us about any areas of concern so we can be extra careful, however any damage caused by masking or removing masking is the customer's responsibility. Clean area before we arrive. Any cost to remove over spray or dry dust outside the immediate area or the refinished item is the customer's responsibility and expense

STRIPPING: Surfaces that have been painted or glazed before must pass tests for both proper adhesion with the original substrate and compatibility with the new coating. Any old coating that fails these tests must be removed with the use of a chemical paint stripper. This is referred to as Chemical Stripping. Removal of this old coating will allow the new material to bond directly to the original substrate. If testing concludes that a proper bond exists between the substrate and the old coating, that surface will be prepared for the new coating. Wet and dry sanding is used to remove the outermost layer of the old coating to produce a flatter, smoother surface to spray the new finishing material upon. This is referred to as Mechanical stripping. Both processes will require additional charges included in your quote. The additional cost for other striping needs will depend on the size and type of project

COLORS AND SURFACE TEXTURES: Our standard color is Bright White. Other colors require the mixing of pigments, so we cannot guarantee a perfect match on any color as we all might see colors differently. Colors and Textures will vary from manufacturer so samples for Colors and surface textures shown at time of bid should only be considered a guide. We strive to stay as close as we can to all samples shown but due to the application process variations in color or textures may occur. If you are not present to approve colors, textures, or specking, we are authorized to proceed without delay. Cost to change or reapply colors or change textures due to lack of presence by customer will be a customer expense. Countertop resurfacing is a sprayed-on liquid product that cures to a solid conforming to your existing surface. Because each countertop is individually hand crafted, variations in color and texture are an inherent part of the resurfacing process. Imperfections in the original counter may show through and cannot be avoided. Any cost to fix is the Customer's responsibility

PLUMBING: We are not licensed plumbers. We do not remove or replace drain, overflow, faucets or any other hardware or fixture attached. However, you authorize us to remove or loosen handles spouts, drain pieces, or overflow covers, or other plumbing hardware including shower doors if we determine it is necessary. In those cases, YOU THE CUSTOMER will be responsible for returning those pieces to their original position. Age or general decay of pipes or fixtures may make this impossible so PLEASE CONSULT A LICENSED PLUMBER for any area of concern. Please repair any water leaks from faucets, pipes, etc, prior to our arrival. If water leaks delay our work schedule your deposit can be forfeited. We are not responsible for any plumbing-related damages under any circumstances. If water runs on the fresh refinish, it will ruin the glaze and you the user (tenant, owner, worker, contractor) is responsible for such damages. Any further cost repair will be at customer's expense

PAINT AND WALLPAPER: To protect the immediate area we must mask it. Masking Tape can pull wallpaper or paint. Please alert us to any areas of concern so we can be extra careful. However any damage caused by masking or removing masking is the customer's responsibility

SURFACE CONDITIONING: Please do not use surface for a full 48 hours (2 days). All newly refinished surfaces will have surface dust, which will have settled into the new surface.

Destruction of the surface may occur by using acid compounds such as drain openers or tile grout cleaners. All Harsh Chemicals should be kept away from the finish Including hair dyes, nail polish removers and perfumes. Hard plastic toys may also damage a refinished tub.
