TERRIBLE PRODUCT
by estesjo59 at Citysearch
My Husband and I decided to go with peracoat beacuse of its claim that we would never agian need to stain our home. After approx 6 years boards are exposed it is peeling off and bubbling. It looked great at first. Contractor is now MIA and the phone calls he did answer was little help. He has moved on from the company and will not help us out in anyway. We paid a lot of money. DON'T PURCHASE THIS STUFF ITS A TERRIBLE PRODUCT. NOW WE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO TO EVEN GET SOME PRODUCT TO TOUCH UP THE MESS!! WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY THE FACT THAT SOMETHING WILL LAST 50 YEARS. PRODUCT HAS NOT BEEN ON MARKET LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE A CLAIM LIKE THAT.
Do not be fooled!

Decided to go with permacoat because of its claim to be the same as the name brand stuff, at a lower cost... 14 months after my job, there is peeling, mold, and mildew and the company has apparently split up so I cannot get service. I have been given the runaround by the people there (when I can even get in touch with anybody).
Neighbor went with the other "name brand" company and his still looks like it was done yesterday. We agree that I got ripped off.
VERY DISAPPOINTED.
Great Paint Job

We heard about Permacoat from a friend who had their house in uptown New Orleans painted by them. It looked great after 10 years and surviving Hurricane Katrina. Permacoat then painted our son's house in Lakeview a couple of years ago and did a great job. When we purchased our home near city park we had Permacoat paint ours as well. The colors were exactly what we wanted and they also did the repairs we needed. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing to have their house painted.
- Pros: honest local company - wonderful job
- Cons: none
Terrible

I was very happy for the first year and then permacoat started to peel bubble and fall apart. Rusty nails are now appearing and it looks a mess. The contractor disappeared.
- Pros: Looked good for 1 year
- Cons: Looks terrible now
Do Not Be Fooled By These Crooks

Permacoat is a fraud! These crooks will tell you anything to get your money. The product they sell is comparible to any low grade paint you can purchase for $10 a gallon, it is JUNK and will bubble & blister. Anyone can purchase ceramic additive or ceramic paint online. They hire the cheapest labor they can find (english speaking or not) so they can pocket your money. The word quality is not in their vocabulary. The word greed is. Beware of these CON MEN.
The positive reviews are written by the owner of Permacoat. Notice "allot" is spelled the same, makes the same points and is structured exactly the same. Free advertising. Dave, it is spelled a lot, 2 words. Also note they use the name uptown something and saints something..profiling. They bash their like compitition by name in a review they wrote. They pocket over 60% of the money you spend on your paint job and never lift a brush except to show you a color sample.
- Pros: none
- Cons: Lies and more lies
