Pamphlet Receipt.

I received & reviewed this pamphlet before the work began.


MECHANICS LIEN WARNING:

Anyone who helps improve your property, but who is not paid, may record what is called a mechanics’ lien on your property.

A mechanics’ lien is a claim, like a mortgage or home equity loan, made against your property and recorded with the county recorder.

Even if you pay your contractor in full, unpaid subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers who helped to improve your property may record mechanics’ liens and sue you in court to foreclose the lien. If a court finds the lien is valid, you could be forced to pay twice or have a court officer sell your home to pay the lien. Liens can also affect your credit.

To preserve their right to record a lien, each subcontractor and material supplier must provide you with a document called a ‘20-day Preliminary Notice.’ This notice is not a lien. The purpose of the notice is to let you know that the person who sends you the notice has the right to record a lien on your property if he or she is not paid.

BE CAREFUL. The Preliminary Notice can be sent up to 20 days after the subcontractor starts work or the supplier provides material. This can be a big problem if you pay your contractor before you have received the Preliminary Notices. You will not get Preliminary Notices from your prime contractor or from laborers who work on your project. The law assumes that you already know they are improving your property.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM LIENS. You can protect yourself from liens by getting a list from your contractor of all the subcontractors and material suppliers that work on your project. Find out from your contractor when these subcontractors started work and when these suppliers delivered goods or materials. Then wait 20 days, paying attention to the Preliminary Notices you receive.

PAY WITH JOINT CHECKS. One way to protect yourself is to pay with a joint check. When your contractor tells you it is time to pay for the work of a subcontractor or supplier who has provided you with a Preliminary Notice, write a joint check payable to both the contractor and the subcontractor or material supplier.

For other ways to prevent liens, visit CSLB’s website at www.cslb.ca.gov or call CSLB at 1-800-321-CSLB (2752).

Remember, if you do nothing, you risk having a lien placed on your home. This can mean that you may have to pay twice, or face the forced sale of your home to pay what you owe.

 

 

NOTICE: Buyer has right to require Seller to have a performance and payment bond at Buyer’s expense.

 

 

START AND COMPLETION OF WORK:

Start = Beginning of Physical Work, which is substantial commencement of work, will begin within approximately 15 days after signing the contractual documents unless otherwise noted or communicated to the buyer. The necessary permit process involving the Governing Building Department and/or adverse weather may cause a delay before or during construction of which the Seller has no control. Mobilization is defined as the organizing of labor, goods, vehicles, etc. to begin a project, whether on site or before arrival.

Completion = Substantial Completion of Project, and construction will be substantially completed approximately 15 days after the start date unless otherwise noted, barring delays caused by reasons beyond Seller’s control which could not be reasonably anticipated. The first 15 days represent projects under $5,000 in value. For each amount of $5,000 of project value over the first $5,000 of project value, the project timeline will be extended by another 10 days. Example: a $14,000 project will have a completion time frame of 35 days (first $5k; 15 days + second $5k; 10 + third portion of $5k; 10 days = 35 days). Substantial completion is defined as the stage in the project when the work is sufficiently complete in accordance with the contract documents so that the owner can occupy or utilize the home for its intended use. Seller may at its option, cancel this Agreement by giving Buyer notice thereof without any penalty to the seller. Our anticipated schedule as noted above is predicated on having the appropriate amount of days available with conditions which are suitable for roofing work. There is no express or implied guarantee for the completion date noted above.

Similarly, many items need to be installed onto or within existing framing members. This is a normal, accepted practice. Further, any new skylight installation only includes the ‘top work’ only, and no interior framing, drywall, trim, etc.

ay) Unless specifically included, our agreement excludes the removal, relocation, modifying, installation or re-installation of any items/systems located on or around the roof; which could affect our roof project. These include, but are not limited to; solar, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, storage, A/V, satellite, cable, phone, data, antenna, etc. If owner selects to hire us at an additional cost to perform any of the above work, we cannot and do not offer, imply or otherwise warranty any such work. Further, we cannot take responsibility for voiding any existing warranties by touching said work.

az) Roof top work can loosen any improperly installed vents. Some of the vent piping or other vents could become or may already have been dislodged from their connection in the attic. This is deemed normal and acceptable. These include but are not limited to, heater, water heater, bathroom fan, laundry, kitchen hood, plumbing, etc. Please check the connection immediately upon project completion and let us know if they are loose and we will re-connect them for you. An unconnected exhaust vent can cause serious injury or even death by cO2 fumes or fire.

ba) Foot traffic on a roof is expected for inspections, repairs, service, etc. We must walk on the roof during and upon completion for the same reason which is normal and deemed acceptable. Some wear and tear is to be expected, but any excessive traffic on the roofing will lead to damage, the repair of which is specifically not covered in this agreement. An example of this is when a roof is improperly used as a ‘deck’ surface. Improper use of a roof is not covered by any warranty.

bc) No prevailing wage rates are included in this contract unless clearly stated otherwise.

bd) If a new electrical panel is included, it is to be installed in the same location as the existing panel. Owner agrees to pay the increased costs if SDG&E or the governing building department requires it to be moved. Does not include upgrading the feed (conduit) for the new panel and does not include any trenching, stucco, siding, paint, etc.

be) All copper products have unique traits. Any soldering will heat up the copper and discolor it. This is normal. Further, fingerprints and handprints will be visible after installation, and we do not include cleaning or treating any copper. Both examples will be visible for about 2 months after installation (depending on weather), when the copper naturally changes colors and becomes more uniform. This is also normal. Note; copper is only included if specified in contract.

bf) Whole House Fans. If a new house fan is included in this contract, Resilient or it’s trade partner to determine the best location for the intake and motor. Includes installation in our recommended location and includes the electrical needed for that installation. Does not include any framing, drywall or any other work to install it outside of these inclusions. Please see other areas of these terms and conditions for additional exclusions which apply to the installation of house fan, if any.

bg) If client chooses to pay for their project from the proceeds of the sales of a house, Resilient Roofing will waive any late fees on the payments, if the amount is paid in full within 30 days. Client to give Resilient Roofing the escrow information and approve all payment requests.

bh) Owner agrees to make timely decisions as needed to facilitate the project schedule. bi) Owner agrees to treat all others with courtesy, respect, and a positive attitude.

bj) Please note that some manufacturer warranties do require follow up trips, inspections, touch ups, maintenance, etc. This contract specifically excludes any said additional work, unless it is specifically covered by our workmanship warranty. Owner is responsible for contacting us, or another licensed roofing company to perform any necessary work to maintain such a manufacturer warranty.

bk) Resilient Roofing reserves the first ‘right to remedy’ any issue or potential issue that may arise, and cannot take responsibility for any work performed outside our company. While this is similar to the right of first refusal, our inability to perform work in a timely manner does not equate to a refusal.

bl) If any payment is due and the buyer has failed to make the payment due to incomplete work, the seller may allow the buyer to hold 2x (two times) the appropriate cost to remedy or complete the incomplete work, but no more.

bm) Any notes written on the contract by the Buyer will need to be reviewed by the Seller, and are not automatically included or incorporated into the agreement.

bn) Owner to ensure that any materials ordered will meet or exceed any particular codes including overlay zones such as brush management, wildland-urban interface, fire hazard severity zones, etc.

The parties covenant that they will participate in the mediation in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator or any AAA employees, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. Either party may initiate arbitration with respect to the matters submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration at any time following the initial mediation session or 45 days after the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first.
