CARPENTRY. A. Area of Concern: Expansion and contraction of exterior trim. Standard: Open joints between exterior trim elements, including deck railings, deck boards, and siding, are to be expected to allow for expansion and contraction, but these are areas which should be properly caulked to exclude the entry of water. If open joints in excess of 1/4 inch in width occur, Summit Homes Construction will re-caulk the open joints once during the Warranty Period. All other re-caulking is the responsibility of the Developer or Initial Purchaser. B. Area of Concern: Cracks in exterior wood elements. Standard: The exterior beams and posts used in the building will shrink, warp, twist, and develop cracks. This is normal, and unless it affects the structural integrity of the building, is not covered by the Warranty. C. Area of Concern: Cracks in interior beams. Standard: The interior beams used in the building will shrink, warp, twist, and develop cracks. This is normal, and unless it affects the structural integrity of the building, is not covered by the Warranty. D. Area of Concern: Loose or squeaky subfloors. Standard: The plywood subfloors shall be glued and nailed to the floor joists to minimize squeaky floors. Some squeaks in the floors and stairs are normal, and unless the flooring is loose or the noise is unusually loud, such squeaks are not covered by the Warranty.
