By using our website, requesting a free on-site estimate, or hiring J&K for services (collectively, the “Services”), you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes are effective when posted with the updated Effective Date. Your continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance.

2) Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and authorized to enter contracts for the property where services will be performed.

3) Estimates, Scope & Change Orders

Estimates: Written estimates describe the scope, assumptions, and exclusions. Estimates are not binding until accepted in writing (including email/text) and any required deposit is paid.

Client Provides Paint: Unless otherwise stated, clients provide paint (brand, color, sheen). J&K provides prep and standard materials (masking, tape, paper, caulk, patching compounds, primers as needed).

Color/Finish Responsibility: Client is responsible for correct color codes/finishes. We recommend samples before full application. Color perception can vary by lighting/surface.

Changes: Any added work or deviations from the estimate (e.g., additional rooms, repairs, trim upgrades, specialty coatings) require a written change order and may affect price and schedule.

Hidden Conditions: If we discover unforeseen conditions (e.g., rot, moisture, mold, deteriorated substrates, prior coating failures, lead-based paint, asbestos, wiring/plumbing issues), we will notify you with options and pricing. Work may pause until approved.

4) Scheduling, Access & Site Conditions

Access: Client will provide safe access, power, water, and clear work areas. Remove fragile/valuable items and declutter surfaces/walls before scheduled start.

Protection: We protect floors, fixtures, and furnishings in the immediate work area using standard coverings. We are not responsible for pre-existing damage or items left in unprotected areas.

Delays: Weather, material shortages, client delays, or unforeseen conditions may affect scheduling. We will communicate changes promptly.

5) Payments, Deposits & Invoices

Deposits: A deposit may be required to secure scheduling and procure materials other than paint (if applicable). Deposits are applied to the final invoice.

Progress Payments: For multi-day or multi-phase projects, progress payments may be invoiced at milestones or weekly.

Final Payment: Due upon substantial completion. Substantial completion means work is complete except for minor punch-list items that do not affect use.

Late Fees: Past-due balances may incur a reasonable late fee and recovery costs as permitted by law. We may suspend work for non-payment.

Refunds: Services are custom and labor-based; except where required by law or expressly stated, all sales are final.

6) Materials, Prep & Paint

Included: Standard prep (light patching, sanding, caulking, masking), primers as needed for adhesion/coverage, standard sundries.

Excluded by Default: Structural repairs, extensive drywall replacement, stain/odor remediation, mold remediation, lead or asbestos abatement, specialty scaffolding/equipment, custom carpentry unless specified.

Cabinets/Trim: Cabinet and fine-finish work may require special prep and curing times. Handle with care during cure period.

Client Paint Storage/Disposal: On request, we can label and leave touch-up cans. Disposal of client-provided leftover paint is the client’s responsibility unless otherwise agreed.

7) Safety, Environmental & Lead Paint

We follow reasonable safety practices and comply with applicable regulations.

For homes built before 1978, lead-safe practices may be required. Lead or asbestos abatement, if needed, must be performed by licensed specialists (additional cost).

8) Photos & Portfolio

With your permission, we may photograph completed work for our portfolio/marketing. We do not display your street address or identifying details.

9) Warranty (Workmanship)

Labor Warranty: We provide a 1-year workmanship warranty on interior and exterior painting labor from substantial completion, covering peeling or blistering due to our prep/application.

Exclusions: Damage from moisture intrusion, leaks, structural movement, abuse, normal wear, weather extremes, substrate failure, or client-supplied product defects; horizontal surfaces exposed to standing water; surfaces previously failing; hairline cracks; color matching/fading inherent to coatings.

Remedy: Our obligation is to repair the affected area (prep and repaint) using reasonable color match. This is your exclusive remedy under the warranty.

Keep pets/children away from work zones.

Review progress and provide timely approvals or punch-list items within 3 business days of substantial completion.
