Workmanship Warranty. DC Fencing LLC warrants the workmanship of fence installation for three (3) years from substantial completion. Coverage is labor/workmanship only. Materials are not warranted by DC Fencing LLC. If a manufacturer offers a material warranty, Owner must pursue it directly.
Fence Types Covered. Sheet-metal, wood, chain link, and vinyl.
Exclusions (all types). No coverage for: acts of God (wind, hail, flood, snow/ice loads); impact; misuse/abuse; alterations or tie-ins by others; soil movement, heave, settlement, or poor drainage; corrosion or chemical exposure (sprinklers, fertilizers, pool water, de-icers, salt, animal waste, dissimilar-metal contact); grade changes; concrete/footing cracking not caused by our defective workmanship; and normal appearance traits that do not affect function.
Material-Specific Notes.
• Wood — Mandatory Maintenance Condition. Owner must stain or seal all wood components within 60 days of substantial completion and at least once every 12 months thereafter. Keep reasonable proof (dated photos, receipts). Failure to perform this maintenance on schedule voids the entire workmanship warranty for the project.
• Chain link: Minor fabric waviness, impact-related tension loss, and abrasion wear are excluded. Finish performance is a material issue.
• Vinyl: Normal expansion/contraction, minor chalking/fading, and color variation are not defects. Brittleness/cracking from cold is a material issue unless caused by our installation error.
• Sheet-metal: Minor waviness/oil-canning, patina, and color variation are not defects.
Owner Care. Keep soil/mulch below panel or picket edges, aim sprinklers away, rinse periodically, avoid dissimilar-metal contact, and follow manufacturer maintenance guidance.
Limitations. Warranty is void if the contract price is unpaid, others modify/repair before our inspection, or maintenance is neglected. Loads/uses must match typical fence use. Gates: alignment and latch/closer adjustments are covered for 90 days; hardware wear and finishes are not covered beyond installation workmanship.
Claims. Send written notice within 30 days of discovery and within the warranty period, with photos and proof of purchase, to [email protected] or DC Fencing LLC, Attn: Warranty Request, 1017 Rosewood Drive, Clovis, NM 88101. Include owner name, installation address, approximate install date, issue description, and phone. Provide reasonable access for inspection.
Remedy. On verification of a covered workmanship defect, DC Fencing LLC will, at its option, repair or replace the affected portion. Color/finish matching will be commercially reasonable, not exact. This is the sole remedy.
