Acceptable Performance/Condition
Exterior paint, stain or clear finishes shall not deteriorate to the extent of exposing the substrate beneath; surfaces subject to foot traffic are exempt from this requirement.

Warranty
One-Year Work and Materials
Damage resulting from normal wear and tear is not covered by the warranty.

Action
Paint or stain not meeting the acceptable performance shall be repaired.

Remarks
Weathering of painted, stained or clear-coated exterior surfaces is normal. Discolouration of the wood beneath is evidence of failed clear finish. Excessive moisture in the substrate can contribute to premature finish deterioration.
