Trust & credentials FAQ
Can you provide proof of insurance?
Minnesota does not issue a state painting contractor license. Advanced Painting Services LLC carries $1M Hiscox general liability insurance. We’ll provide a certificate of insurance before work begins.
What exactly does the 3-year warranty cover?
Defects in workmanship on surfaces we prepped and painted — peeling, blistering, flaking, and adhesion failures — for three full years from project completion. Drywall and texture work we performed is covered against finishing failures. Full terms are on our warranty page.
Can you name our HOA or property management company as additional insured?
Yes. Send us the exact entity name and address and any contract insurance requirements, and we'll have Hiscox issue the certificate — including additional-insured or waiver-of-subrogation endorsements where the policy allows — before mobilization.
Is the warranty different for commercial work?
The coverage principle is the same — workmanship defects are ours to fix — but commercial scopes are warrantied against the written specification in your contract, which may set different coverage periods for high-traffic surfaces, floor coatings, and line striping. The term is stated in writing on the proposal before you sign.
Does the warranty transfer if I sell my home?
No. The workmanship warranty is non-transferable and applies to the original purchaser at the property address on the work order. Remaining coverage does not pass to a new owner.
Who actually shows up — employees or subcontractors?
Cody personally estimates, performs, and completes the final walkthrough for every project — including whole-home and commercial projects. Never subcontracted.
Want the paperwork before the paint?
We'll send a current Certificate of Insurance and a copy of the written warranty with your free estimate — no obligation.
