- Structural defects, settling and movement.
- Damage or defects caused in whole or in part by reason of fire, explosion, flood, acts of God, extreme weather conditions, misuse, alterations, abuse, vandalism, negligence, or any other similar causes beyond the control of Creative Gutter.
- Materials: Creative Gutter does not produce the pre-painted gutter material and parts. We only form, cut, and install them. As such, these materials are guaranteed by the manufacturer and not by Creative Gutter. In the unlikely event of a material problem, we will assist you in getting the issue resolved.
- Please refer to the following:
- Senox Care and Maintenance
- ABC (Norandex) Warranty
Remedy – What Creative Gutter Is Obligated To Do About A Covered Problem.
- If a defect is reported to Creative Gutter in writing, Creative Gutter will inspect the affected areas. The sole remedy against Creative Gutter shall be for repairing or replacing, at Creative Gutter’s discretion, the defective area of the gutter not including consequential damages to substrates or anything else. We also reserve the right to provide a full or partial refund in lieu of repair or replacement.
Service Fee
- If you request a service call for a warranty issue and we discover that it is not a warranty issue, there will be a $75 service fee charged to you. Service calls for gutter issues normally turn out to be clogged gutters, which are not covered. If we can resolve the issue on site we will, but if we are not able to resolve on site we will either schedule warranty service or provide you with a price for the uncovered work.
Eligibility
- This warranty only applies to work that has been paid in full and on time in accordance with the contract.
- Property must be accessible to Creative Gutter to perform the repairs.
