ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
A well-structured maintenance program can add years to the life of your property. The
following instructions should not supersede any maintenance recommendations from
material suppliers and manufacturers or replace your normal inspection schedule but
used in conjunction with them.
For further information on each item, see warranty summaries and complete warranties for
applicable building locations on tabs 4 and 5. Do not hesitate to contact JWC with any questions
or concerns.
PAINTING
Any breach in the Nationwide Ultra Kote Weatherproof Painting System will negate the
warranty and limit the paint’s effectiveness (e.g., gouges, scrapes, hook or nail holes).
Make sure any compromised area is repainted with Nationwide Ultra Kote
Weatherproof Paint. Contact JWC to schedule. Seal any penetration through the stucco
walls (electrical plate removal, HVAC unit repair, lighting installation, etc) with a bead
of sealant or caulking. Keep surfaces clean of excess dirt, using the least intrusive
method possible (soft bristle brushes or sponges are ideal). Remove any mold or
mildew with commercial fungicide and low-pressure power wash. Monitor for
efflorescence, a white crystalline salt-like deposit which can leach through the coating
and deposit on the surface. Dry brush and rinse with clean water. Contact JWC with
any questions or concerns.
DECKING
Clean concrete on a regular basis. In the case of any cracking or movement, please
report to JWC immediately. Anchor all potted plants with a watering plate and ensure
each has adequate air flow beneath them to prevent staining and mildew. Move each
regularly. Don’t cover concrete surfaces with nonporous carpets or mats. Do not allow
pets to urinate on decks. Move furniture periodically. Keep area clear of debris. In the
event of any deck to wall transition cracking or failure, contact JWC immediately.
