FLOORS
What you can expect from your home Your new home has been built with quality lumber which has been dried in a kiln to help minimize the wood's movement, however like all building materials, wood is affected by heat, cold and humidity. Some shrinkage and swelling is unavoidable. What your home can expect from you Keep the humidity in your home consistent to limit shrinkage and/or swelling of the lumber. What is covered by the warranty Within the first year of home ownership, we will correct floor squeaks or loose subfloor if caused by a construction defect. Where necessary, at our discretion, we will remove the finished floor materials to make the repair and reinstall or replace if damaged. If floors are more than a ¼ inch ridge or depression within any 32 inch measurement, we will correct or repair to meet performance standards. No point on the surface of a floor shall be more than ½ inch higher or lower than any other point on the surface within 20 feet, or proportional multiples of the preceding dimensions. We will make the necessary modifications to any floor which does not comply with the performance standard for levelness. Examples of exclusions Floor squeaks or loose subfloor are often temporary conditions common to new home construction, and a squeak-proof floor cannot be guaranteed. Where a load bearing beam or a cantilever is used, this standard may not be met. Excessive loads added by the Homeowner are not covered by the warranty.
PAINT
What you can expect from your home Your home has been painted using quality paints. Paint should not peel during the first year, however, fading is normal and the degree is dependent on climate conditions. What your home can expect from you You may have to paint or stain to extend the life of the painted components on the exterior of the home.
