SECT ION 25 : Interior Paint and Finishes 25.1 Blemishes on Walls or Ceilings Blemishes include nail pops, cracking, or blistering visible on nished walls or ceilings. The Builder, once during a period of one year, will repair blemishes, excessive waviness, or seams visible in normal light in nished areas that are readily visible from a distance of 5 feet. Cracks that occur adjacent to windows from expansion and contraction will be repaired using exible latex caulking. Under the LimitedWarranty, the Builder, for a period of one year, will also repaint the a ected areas. 25.2 Repainting after Repair Work Repainting, staining, or re nishing may be required because of repair work. Repairs required under the LimitedWarranty should be nished to match the immediate surrounding areas as closely as practical. Due to fading and normal weathering, a perfect match cannot be achieved, and a perfect match is not covered by the LimitedWarranty. Where repairs a ect more than 50% of a wall or ceiling area, the Builder, for a period of one year, will repaint the entire wall or ceiling surface from corner to corner. Where custom paints and wall coverings have been installed, the Builder will not warrant the match of any necessary repairs. All blemishes should be noted and repaired prior to custom paints and wall coverings being applied.
SECT ION 26 : Interior Trim and Moldings 26.1 Interior Trim Split Splits, cracks, raised grain, swelling of nger joints, and checking are inherent characteristics of all wood and cannot be avoided. However, the Builder, for a period of one year, will ll any such condition in interior trim with wood putty. 26.2 Nails Not Set or Holes Not Filled in Interior Trim Nails and nail holes in interior trim should be set and lled. The Builder, for a period of one year, will set and ll nails and nail holes in interior trim within nished areas. 26.3 Gaps at Joints on Molding and Casing All joints on molding and casing should t and be securely attached, as well as lled and sanded. The Builder, for a period of one year, will repair defective joints and gaps. Acceptable repair includes lling joints and gaps with wood putty. 25.3 Drywall Texture Drywall texture is applied by hand and varies with the technique of the installer. Where tall walls exist, it is necessary to install the drywall texture in several passes. Breaks between application phases occur in all homes and sometimes are more visible due to the method of application. The inherent inconsistency of drywall texture is to be expected, as with all hand- applied, troweled nishes. The Builder, once during a period of one year, will repair deviations, bumps, or voids measuring over ΒΌ inch per 4 feet, which are not part of the intended texture. During repair, the Builder will try to match the original texture as closely as possible, but a perfect match is not covered by the Limited Warranty.
