What is a painting maintenance contract?

Painting is something that needs to be kept up, but carrying out maintenance is an expensive business. With a maintenance contract, you pay a fixed amount per month in exchange for carrying out well-defined work. Together with the specialist, you determine the duration of the maintenance contract. This varies from 5 to 20 years, but usually the term is 10 years. In most cases, the painter will initially have to do a lot of work to bring your house back into perfect condition. These costs fall inside or outside the maintenance contract, depending on the agreements made. Once the basics are there, the painter will come back once in a while to do minor repairs or maintenance. For example, think about painting windows or repairing damage to your paintwork. The painter will make an appointment with you for this, so you don’t have to think about it. This maintenance is part of the painting subscription. In this way, you avoid spikes in expenditure on your house, you know exactly where you stand.

With this kind of agreement, it is wise to make use of an independent foundation that manages the money and pays out periodically to the painter who maintains the paintwork.
