As someone that has just done business with SealMaxx, I can attest to the fact that their "warranty" is a complete waste of paper. My story: I signed the contract to seal my deck and a couple of fences aware that I had three days to cancel if I cared to. I asked for a copy of the 25-year guarantee and was told by the salesman that he didn't have one, but would get it to me.
After I had to dog the salesman to get a copy, I was told it would be faxed to me. It wasn't. The waiting game worked, and the 3-day "buyer's remorse" period expired with the contract intact (I had qualms, but the company was endorsed by a respected local home-improvement contractor so I took a leap of faith... Bad on me, I admit).
When the project was eventually completed (a month behind schedule, I'll point out), I finally received a copy of SealMaxx's warranty in the mail. To call this farce of a document a "warranty" is an insult to true warranties, not to mention farces.
In a nutshell, SealMaxx guarantees precisely nothing. It only says it promises that the product will perform in accordance with representations made previously to me in writing by SealMaxx. Since nothing had been represented to me in writing but the agreement to do the job at the stated price, I have a warranty that covers nothing.
But that's not all bad, because even if there had been performance guarantees made in writing, if it failed at its task (s) all I would have a right to would be a re-application of the same product that didn't work the first time. My deck and fence could rot away to nothing and SealMaxx wouldn't be liable for a red cent.
I feel stupid that I didn't cancel the contract when the salesman was so evasive about the warranty. I'll never trust another word the endorsing contractor.
I do not feel that SealMaxx should enjoy any sort of reputation in the home remodeling field.
