the home may show signs of wear sooner based on their exposure to the elements. Some wood siding, such as cedar, is subject to more cracking and will require more maintenance attention. Vinyl Vinyl siding will occasionally require cleaning. Start at the top to avoid streaking and use a cleaning product recommended by your siding manufacturer. Follow directions carefully. Cement Based Products Cement based siding will require repainting and caulking just as wood products do. Century Communities Limited Warranty Guidelines Century Communities warrants all siding to be free of defects in material and workmanship. We will confirm the good condition of the siding during your orientation. Subsequent damage to the siding will be your responsibility to repair. Century Communities will caulk and apply touch-up paint to cracks that exceed tolerance. We provide this repair one time only near the end of the first year. Paint or stain touch-up will not match. We will correct any separation at joints or where siding meets another material if the separation allows water to enter the home. Century Communities will correct delaminating siding.

Battery If a smoke detector makes a chirping sound, that is a sign that the battery needs to be replaced. Follow manufacturer instructions for installing a new battery. This may also indicate that the smoke detector needs to be cleaned. Cleaning For your safety, clean each detector monthly by wiping or blowing out dust and debris from the unit to prevent to prevent a false alarm or lack of response in a fire. After cleaning, push the test button to confirm the alarm is working. Locations Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are installed in accordance with building codes, which dictate locations. Century Communities cannot omit any smoke detector and you should not remove or disable any smoke detector. See also “Paint and Stain” on page 5.34 and “Wood Trim” on page 5.54.
