Century Communities Limited Warranty Guidelines

During your orientation, we will confirm that your carpet is in acceptable condition. We will correct stains or spots noted at this time by cleaning, patching or replacement. Century Communities is not responsible for dye lot variations if replacements are made. Edges Edges of carpet along moldings and edges of stairs should be held firmly in place. In some areas, metal or other edging material may be used where carpet meets another floor covering. There may be gaps where the carpet meets the baseboard in your home. The baseboard is held off of the floor so the carpet can fit underneath. The gapping is dependent on what type of carpet is installed. The shorter the nap in the carpet, the larger the gap will be. Carpet Tack Strips Low profile carpet tack strips are used to secure the carpet in places along wall edge or at transitions. Installers deploy practices to ensure that the nails don’t protrude from the carpet mesh. Should a tack strip pose a hazard, please contact Century Communities immediately, and we will coordinate with our flooring contractor to reduce this hazard. Seams Carpet seams will be visible. Century Communities will repair any gaps or fraying. Homeowner Use and Maintenance Guidelines All materials used in the construction of your home have a certain degree of expansion and contraction. Different materials expand at different rates. Changes in weather, the surrounding temperature and settling are all forces contributing to the contraction, and expansion rates. These forces can cause both exterior and interior caulked seams to separate when different materials adjoin each other. This separation does not indicate improper workmanship. Time and weather will shrink and dry caulking so that it no longer provides a good seal. As routine maintenance, check the caulking and make needed repairs. Caulking compounds and dispenser guns are available at hardware stores. Read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to be certain that you select an appropriate caulk for the intended purpose. Colored Caulk Colored caulking is available where larger selections are provided. As with any colored material, dye lots can vary. Latex Caulk Latex caulking is appropriate for an area that requires painting, such as along the stair stringer or where wood trim meets the wall. Silicone Caulk Caulking that contains silicone will not accept paint; it works best where water is present, for example, where tub meets tile or a sink meets a countertop. CAULKING
