What To Expect From Your New home - You - Pulte Homes

17.4 Mildew or Fungus
Exterior painted or stained surfaces should be free
of mildew and fungus. However, mildew or fungus
may form on surfaces over time because of moisture.
The Builder will correct any visible mildew or fungus
growth problems once during the first 30 days of
the Warranty. Any subsequent removal of mildew
or fungus is considered part of routine Homeowner
maintenance and is not covered by the Warranty.
17.5 Repainting After Repair Work
Repainting, staining, or refinishing may be required
because of repair work. Repairs required under the
Warranty will be finished 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 Warranty. Where repairs affect more than 50% of a
wall or ceiling product area, the Builder will repaint the
entire wall, ceiling, or product surface with the original
paint for a period of one year. Custom color touch-up is
not covered under the Warranty.

Section 18:
Wood Decks
Decks are constantly exposed to weather
conditions. Moisture, sunlight, and
temperature changes will cause wood planks
to warp, split, and cut over time. These
conditions are not construction defects and are
not covered under the Pulte Homes Warranty.
Homeowners can substantially reduce these
effects by applying wood deck sealants within
six months after the deck is completed.
18.1 Wood Deck Out of Level
The Builder, for a period of one year, will repair wood
decking that is out of level more than ¼ inch per 4 feet.
18.2 Imperfections in Wood for Exterior
Railings, Decks, or Stairs
Wood for exterior railings, decks, or stairs will include
imperfections such as knots and checks. The Builder,
for a period of one year, will repair or replace wood for
exterior railings, decks, and stairs that fail to meet
intended use because of a structural defect. Knots,
cupping, twisting, unsanded saw cuts, shrinkage
gaps, discoloration from aging, and minor checking
are normal, and removal of such imperfections is not
covered by the Warranty. Any wood replaced will not
exactly match existing decking. Sealing of the deck
will be the Homeowner’s responsibility.
