SIDING & EXTERIOR TRIM
What you can expect from your home Your home’s siding is made with a low maintenance material which reduces costly priming and painting. Over time, your siding may still bow. Siding is installed according to the materials manufacturer’s instructions. What your home can expect from you Exterior materials on your home require periodic maintenance. You may occasionally want to wash your siding. If you do, use a mild, non-bleach detergent and a soft brush or cloth. Some materials such as prefinished siding should be washed to maintain their appearance and remove airborne materials that can damage the finish. Maintaining these painted surfaces on your home can help prevent mildew. All wood and composite exterior materials should be periodically inspected for wear and maintained by the Homeowner. Exterior trim will require periodic maintenance including cleaning, caulking and painting. What is covered by the warranty If bowing exceeds ½ inch within a 32 inch measurement, it is deemed unacceptable. Your lap siding should not delaminate or deteriorate within those manufacturer specifications. Within the first year of home ownership, we will install additional nails in siding to meet nailing schedules which are standard in the industry and will replace any siding that does not meet that standard. We will also repair or replace siding that is damaged due to installation errors as needed. The repaired area should match as closely as possible in color and or texture. For surfaces that require paint, we will paint only new materials. Joints between exterior trim elements, including siding and masonry, should not result in open joints in excess of ³⁄₈ inch. We will repair open joints and touch up finish coatings where repaired to match existing as close as possible. Caulking is acceptable for joints less than ³⁄₈ inch in width. Examples of exclusions We will not be responsible for damage to the siding caused by high winds, severe storms or lack of maintenance. For surfaces requiring paint, we will paint only the new material.
STONE & BRICK VENEER
What you can expect from your home The veneer of your home was color coordinated with your exterior color scheme to seam- lessly integrate with your surrounding neighborhood. Small hairline cracks in the veneer are possible due to shrinkage and are common in mortar joints in masonry construction.
