LIMITED WARRANTY One-Year Workmanship Labor Warranty, Two Year Structural Warranty.

Wood products (to include, decks, railings, pergolas, arbors, columns, garages etc.)

Products that are constructed with wood needs to be stained to protect the life and beauty of this natural product. The term “Pressure-Treated” means that the lumber was infused with chemicals to help the wood resist wood rot and damage from insects. Wood is a natural product and there will be movement in the wood as it dries out. Warranty covers complete structure from the ground up. The only exception is that we do not warranty any treated lumber movement. Some instances are but not limited to: warping, twisting, cupping, curling bowing, crowning, sagging shrinking or splitting. All treated lumber is prone to distort from to a degree from its original shape. Movement occurs as the wood dries out and loses moisture content. It is hereby recommended that all pressure treated wood be sealed by purchaser with an exterior sealant designed for pressure treated wood. We cannot warranty wood products that have not been stained within 3 months from the date of installation. Typically wait around a month or so before apply stain to allow moisture content of the wood to get lower in the wood (reference manufacture’s stain guidelines for new wood stain application). *Once you have stained your project, please email us a picture(s) of the stained project for filing purposes at our office location…cardinalbuildings@gmail.com
