Terms & Conditions
1. Scope of Work
Work will be performed per the written estimate or proposal (the "Agreement"). Only items listed in the Agreement are included. Any modifications must be approved in writing as a Change Order and may impact price and schedule.
2. Scheduling & Access
Customer agrees to provide clear access, including moving vehicles/obstacles and granting entry to work areas. Customer provides on-site water and standard electrical power at no cost. If unavailable, Wesco may supply temporary utilities at an additional charge.
3. Site Preparation & Safety
Customer will secure pets, valuables, and fragile items, and notify neighbors/HOA when required. Wesco follows industry safety practices. Areas under work may be taped off; please keep people and pets away until cleared.
4. Materials & Colors
Unless stated otherwise, materials meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. Color selection/approval is Customer's responsibility. Sheen and light can affect appearance; sample approvals are recommended.
5. Unforeseen Conditions
If hidden conditions are discovered (e.g., rot, mold, structural or moisture issues, unstable substrates, prior improper repairs), Wesco will notify Customer. Additional work requires a paid Change Order or may be excluded from scope.
6. Pressure Washing & Chemical Use
Stains from rust, irrigation, oil, tannin, and biological growth may not fully remove. Some detergents/acidic cleaners may etch or lighten surfaces; Wesco will use professional judgment to minimize risk and will obtain consent when stronger methods are required.
7. Painting & Coatings
Surfaces must be sound, clean, and dry. Hairline cracking, efflorescence, and chalking may reappear over time. Manufacturer warranties apply to their products; Wesco's workmanship warranty is detailed in the Limited Warranty section.
8. Stucco Repairs
Texture matching is performed to blend into surrounding areas; due to age and finish variations, an exact invisible match cannot be guaranteed. Structural movement or active water intrusion will void repair warranties.
9. Customer Responsibilities
Remove/cover personal items; provide bathroom access (if requested), parking for vehicles/trailers, and HOA approvals if required. Notify Wesco in writing of any property elements that are fragile or of unusual value before work begins.
10. Property Protection & Limitations
Wesco masks/protects work areas as practical. We are not responsible for pre-existing conditions, latent defects, failing substrates, or damage caused by active leaks, pests, or prior workmanship. Landscaping overspray/drip risks are minimized, but plants may experience temporary stress from washing/chemicals.
11. Photos & Marketing
Before/after photos or short video may be taken for documentation and quality control. With Customer's consent (see checkbox on forms), images may be used in marketing without identifying the address.
12. Payment Terms
Unless otherwise stated, a deposit may be due at scheduling; balance is due upon substantial completion. Late payments: the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum allowed by law. Returned payments incur a $35 fee.
13. Non-Payment & Lien Rights
Customer acknowledges Wesco's right to file a Claim of Lien for unpaid balances. Customer agrees to pay collection costs, filing fees, reasonable attorney's fees, and costs of enforcement, whether before suit, at trial, or on appeal.
14. Cancellations & Rescheduling
Please provide 48 hours' notice to reschedule. Weather delays may shift start/finish dates; Wesco is not liable for such delays.
15. Warranty
See the Limited Warranty. No other warranties are expressed or implied beyond those stated.
16. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Wesco's total liability for any claim is capped at the amount Customer paid for the specific work giving rise to the claim. No incidental, consequential, or special damages.
17. Force Majeure
Wesco is not liable for delays or failures due to events beyond reasonable control (e.g., hurricanes, severe weather, supply chain issues, labor shortages, acts of God).
18. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
This Agreement is governed by Florida law. Disputes: good-faith negotiation → mediation in Manatee County, FL → if unresolved, either small-claims action or binding arbitration under AAA Home Construction Rules.
19. Entire Agreement & Acceptance
The Agreement, these Terms, and any signed Change Orders constitute the entire understanding. By signing the proposal/estimate, paying a deposit, or allowing work to begin, Customer accepts these Terms.
