LIMITED WORKMANSHIP WARRANTY
General Handyman Services
1. WARRANTY COVERAGE
Subject to the exclusions and conditions set forth below, Summit MGMT LLC (“Contractor”) warrants to the original customer (“Customer”) that general handyman work completed on the date shown in the accompanying job receipt will be free from defects in workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of project completion.
This warranty applies to general handyman services performed under Summit MGMT LLC's standard scope of work, including general repairs, interior carpentry and trim, flooring repairs, small interior painting and touch-ups, door and window adjustment or hardware replacement, safety and mobility modifications (grab bars, handrails, non-slip surfaces, lighting upgrades), furniture and fixture assembly and mounting, minor plumbing and minor electrical work performed within the Contractor's disclosed non-licensed scope, exterior and seasonal maintenance, minor masonry repair, and general labor.
Deck staining, exterior/outdoor painting, and landscaping services are covered under their own dedicated warranties. Where a dedicated warranty exists for a specific service, that warranty governs instead of this General Warranty.
This warranty covers only defects directly attributable to the Contractor's workmanship, including:
Improper installation or assembly resulting in a component that does not function, close, latch, or operate as intended
Carpentry, trim, or drywall repairs that fail due to faulty technique, including visible seams, separation, or cracking directly caused by improper installation
Flooring repairs that fail due to improper technique, including loose transition strips or regrouted tile that separates shortly after completion
Assembled or mounted items — including furniture, shelving, fixtures, and televisions — that become loose or unstable due to improper anchoring or assembly
Minor plumbing or electrical fixture replacements, performed within the Contractor's disclosed non-licensed scope, that leak or fail to operate due to improper installation
Missed items or incomplete work not noted on the project receipt
2. WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER
This warranty expressly excludes the following:
Normal wear and tear, or gradual deterioration of any surface, fixture, or material over time
Defects in materials, fixtures, hardware, or products supplied by the Contractor, the Customer, or any third party — these are governed solely by the applicable manufacturer's or supplier's warranty
Pre-existing conditions not disclosed to or reasonably discoverable by the Contractor prior to the start of work, including rot, prior damage, code violations, or outdated or deteriorated wiring, piping, or framing
Any work requiring a licensed plumber, electrician, or other licensed tradesperson beyond the Contractor's disclosed non-licensed scope of work — the Contractor does not warrant, and expressly disclaims any liability for, work outside this scope
Damage caused by misuse, abuse, accident, or ordinary household wear occurring after project completion
Structural movement, settling, or other conditions related to the home's structure unrelated to the specific work performed
Damage caused by acts of nature, including flooding, storms, or extreme temperature
Modifications, alterations, or repairs made to the completed work by the Customer or any party other than the Contractor
Cosmetic variations that fall within normal trade tolerances and do not affect the function of the completed work
Any additional work, or change to the original scope, not documented in the project receipt
Work performed by, or damage caused by, any party other than the Contractor
3. WARRANTY REMEDY
If a valid warranty claim is submitted and verified by the Contractor, the Contractor's sole obligation is to repair or re-perform the defective work at no charge for labor. Materials required to remedy a valid workmanship defect will be provided at no additional charge; the Contractor will make reasonable efforts to match original materials, fixtures, or hardware, though exact matches cannot be guaranteed where original products have been discontinued.
This warranty does not entitle the Customer to a cash refund, credit, or any other remedy unless repair or re-performance is rendered impossible by circumstances solely within the Contractor's control.
4. CUSTOMER MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS
To keep this warranty in effect, the Customer agrees to:
Use all repaired, installed, or assembled items in a manner consistent with their intended purpose and any manufacturer instructions provided
Promptly report any suspected defect to the Contractor rather than attempting independent repairs
Refrain from altering, modifying, or having another party perform work on the same item without prior written consent from the Contractor
Allow the Contractor reasonable access to inspect the affected area or item upon receiving a warranty claim
5. HOW TO SUBMIT A WARRANTY CLAIM
To submit a claim, the Customer must:
Contact the Contractor by phone or email within the warranty period
Provide a brief written description of the defect and, if possible, photographs clearly showing the affected item or area

Repairs performed by any party other than the Contractor without prior written authorization will void this warranty.
6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
THE CONTRACTOR'S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE COST OF LABOR AND MATERIALS TO REPAIR OR RE-PERFORM THE DEFECTIVE WORK. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE CONTRACTOR BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST USE OF THE PROPERTY, DAMAGE TO CONTENTS, OR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH WORK PERFORMED BY A LICENSED TRADESPERSON BEYOND THE CONTRACTOR'S DISCLOSED SCOPE.
7. NO OTHER WARRANTIES
THIS IS THE CONTRACTOR'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
8. TRANSFERABILITY
This warranty applies only to the original Customer and is non-transferable. It does not extend to any subsequent owner or occupant of the property.
9. GOVERNING LAW
This warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Hampshire. Any dispute arising under this warranty shall be resolved in the county in which the work was performed.

Work performed by, or damage caused by, any party other than the Contractor after project completion
Any area the Customer declined to have graded, edged, or otherwise prepared prior to installation
Damage resulting from the Customer's failure to perform routine maintenance as described in Section 4
Hardscaping Exclusions:
Natural settling, shifting, or minor displacement of pavers, stones, or retaining wall materials occurring more than 30 days after project completion, where such movement results from soil consolidation or freeze-thaw activity
Cracking, spalling, or surface deterioration of any paver, stone, brick, or concrete material — defects in materials are governed by the manufacturer's or supplier's warranty
Mortar or joint sand washout resulting from rainfall, surface runoff, or irrigation
Structural failures attributable to conditions below the installed depth of the Contractor's work, including tree roots, expansive soils, or subsurface water movement
Mulching Exclusions:
Natural decomposition, compaction, fading, or volume reduction of organic mulch materials over time
Migration or displacement of mulch caused by water runoff, wind, foot traffic, or animal activity
Weed or grass growth through mulched areas — mulch suppresses but does not eliminate weed growth
Any adverse effect on plantings or soil chemistry arising from the use of mulch materials selected or specified by the Customer
Gravel Work Exclusions:
Natural migration, sinking, or redistribution of gravel caused by rainfall, surface runoff, vehicle traffic, or foot traffic over time

Brown patches, turf stress, or die-back resulting from drought, heat, disease, fungal infection, grub or pest activity, or other environmental and biological factors unrelated to mowing technique
Natural lawn thinning, bare spots, or deterioration of turf quality not caused by the Contractor's mowing technique or equipment
Clipping dispersal onto adjacent driveways, walkways, mulched beds, or neighboring properties resulting from normal mowing operations — clippings will be dispersed to the best of the Contractor's ability, but some dispersal is inherent to the service
Temporary stripe marks, wheel impressions, or minor surface disturbance that resolve naturally within a normal recovery period
Variations in cut consistency in areas of excessively thick, wet, or overgrown grass resulting from extended intervals between service visits
Damage to ornamental plantings, garden beds, or landscaping features located outside clearly defined mowing areas that were not marked or communicated to the Contractor prior to service

Materials required to remedy a valid workmanship defect will be provided at no additional charge. The Contractor will make reasonable efforts to match the original materials; however, exact matches cannot be guaranteed where original materials have been discontinued or have naturally weathered over time.
This warranty does not entitle the Customer to a cash refund, credit, or any other remedy unless repair or re-installation is rendered impossible by circumstances solely within the Contractor's control.
4. Customer Maintenance Obligations
To keep this warranty in effect, the Customer agrees to:
Maintain all drainage paths, swales, and runoff channels clear of debris to prevent water from pooling on or undermining installed hardscape or landscape materials
Refrain from altering grades, adding fill, or redirecting drainage in ways that could affect the installed work without prior written consent from the Contractor
Replenish organic mulch as needed to maintain the specified depth as natural decomposition occurs (this is routine maintenance, not a warranty obligation of the Contractor)

Refrain from operating heavy equipment or vehicles over hardscaped surfaces unless such use was explicitly discussed and accounted for in the original project scope
Allow the Contractor reasonable access to inspect any area upon receiving a warranty claim
5. How to Submit a Warranty Claim
To submit a claim, the Customer must:
Contact the Contractor by phone or email within the warranty period

Allow the Contractor a reasonable opportunity — no less than 14 days from initial contact — to inspect the work and propose a remedy before any repair is attempted by another party
Repairs or modifications performed by any party other than the Contractor without prior written authorization will void this warranty in full.
6. Limitation of Liability
THE CONTRACTOR'S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE COST OF LABOR AND MATERIALS TO REPAIR OR RE-INSTALL THE DEFECTIVE AREA(S).
