Cracks in Interior Wall and Ceiling Surfaces

Acceptable Performance/Condition
Interior drywall shall be installed to minimize cracking of joints, corners and corner beads.

Warranty
One-Year Work and Materials
Cracks resulting from normal shrinkage of materials due to drying after construction are to be fixed one time only during the first year by the builder with the homeowner being responsible for redecorating.

Action
Only warranted cracks shall be repaired and sanded.

Remarks
Cracks and nail pops, etc. are not unusual in interior wall and ceiling surfaces. They are caused by settlement and normal shrinkage in dimension lumber. The builder will repair drywall defects one time within the first year only at a date mutually agreeable to the builder and the homeowner. This does include sanding but does not include painting.
