If a covered issue occurs during the warranty period, Handy Hunks Exterior Services will, at its sole discretion: re-service the affected area, repair the affected section, perform corrective treatment, or provide a partial or full refund.
Section 2: Right to Inspect & Repair
By contracting Handy Hunks Exterior Services, the customer agrees that Handy Hunks must be given the first opportunity to inspect and resolve any concerns related to the service performed.
Important Notice
If you believe there is a defect or issue related to our work, you must contact Handy Hunks to schedule an inspection BEFORE any third-party contractor performs work on the surface. Failure to provide this opportunity may result in voiding of warranty coverage.
Handy Hunks reserves the right to inspect the surface, re-service the affected area, perform repairs or corrections, and determine the appropriate course of action. Customer satisfaction is a top priority; however, employee safety and proper service procedures always take precedence.
Section 3: Warranty Exclusions
Exterior surfaces are exposed to environmental factors that are outside the control of Handy Hunks Exterior Services. The following conditions are naturally occurring or circumstantial and cannot be prevented through cleaning or sealing:
3.1. Efflorescence
Efflorescence is a natural chemical process that occurs in cement-based materials such as concrete pavers. It appears as a white or powdery haze on the surface and is caused by water-soluble salts migrating through the paver and rising to the surface during evaporation.
- - May appear before or after sealing
- - Sealing can reduce or slow the process but cannot eliminate it
- - Covered areas often experience more efflorescence due to lack of rain exposure
- - Pressure cleaning may temporarily trigger efflorescence by saturating the pavers
Efflorescence is a natural chemical process and is NOT covered under the Handy Hunks warranty.
3.2. Paver Deterioration / Surface Degradation
Concrete pavers and exterior surfaces are composed of materials that naturally wear over time due to environmental conditions.
- - Exposure of underlying aggregate
- - Fading or discoloration
- - Surface erosion
- - Loss of the original color layer
Surface deterioration caused by UV exposure, traffic, weather, pool chemicals, or irrigation is NOT covered.
3.3. Ants & Insects
Ants and burrowing insects may tunnel through joint sand between pavers. Sealing does not prevent insects from entering or exiting these areas.
- - Insect activity is a natural occurrence in Southwest Florida
- - Standard insect control products may be applied without damaging the sealed surface
Insect activity and related sand displacement are NOT covered under this warranty.
3.4. Weeds, Mold & Organic Growth
Exterior surfaces are constantly exposed to airborne seeds, moisture, and organic growth. While sealing and cleaning can help slow growth, no treatment can completely prevent weeds, mold, mildew, or algae from developing over time, especially in Florida's humid climate.
- - Professional cleaning treatments and inhibitors are applied during service
- - Regrowth cannot be guaranteed against
- - White vinegar for weed removal and diluted bleach for mold are safe maintenance options
Organic growth including weeds, mold, mildew, and algae are NOT covered.
3.5. Stains
Handy Hunks utilizes professional cleaning equipment and specialized chemical treatments to remove stains whenever possible. However, some stains penetrate deeply into porous materials and cannot be fully removed without damaging the surface.
- - Oil, paint, rust, and mineral deposit stains may be permanent
- - Complete stain removal cannot be guaranteed
- - Stain treatment fees cover labor and materials, not guaranteed results
- - Sealed surfaces are stain-resistant but not stain-proof
Stains or incomplete stain removal are NOT covered under warranty.
3.6. Joint Sand Movement
Joint sand between pavers may naturally shift, erode, or settle over time due to environmental factors.
- - Rain and weather exposure
- - Vehicle traffic
- - Improper drainage or downspout runoff
- - Wide joint spacing or poor base installation
Sand erosion resulting from environmental conditions or underlying installation issues is NOT covered.
3.7. Moisture-Related Whitening
In rare cases, sealed surfaces may develop a white or cloudy appearance due to moisture trapped beneath the pavers or in the substrate.
- - Pavers installed over concrete slabs
- - Excess moisture in the base layer
- - Poor drainage conditions
- - Previous sealers on the surface
Whitening caused by underlying moisture conditions is NOT covered by warranty.
3.8. Previous Sealer Removal (Stripping)
If a project involves stripping previous sealers, results may vary depending on the type, thickness, and condition of the existing coating.
- - Goal is to remove the majority of existing coating
- - Complete removal cannot always be guaranteed
- - Stripping services are billed based on labor and materials
Projects involving stripping of previous sealers are NOT covered under this warranty.
3.9. Sheen, Shine & Color Enhancement
Different paver materials and colors react differently to sealing products. The level of gloss, sheen, or color enhancement achieved may vary.
- - Surface porosity affects results
- - Paver age and condition impact appearance
- - Color of pavers influences final look
- - Environmental factors play a role
Handy Hunks does NOT guarantee any specific level of shine, gloss, or color enhancement.
3.10. Slippery Surfaces
Sealing may alter the traction characteristics of some surfaces. Although traction additives may be used in certain areas, Handy Hunks cannot guarantee that sealed surfaces will not become slippery under certain conditions.
- - Wet surfaces may be more slippery after sealing
- - Traction additives are available upon request for pool decks and high-traffic areas
Handy Hunks is NOT responsible for slips, falls, or injuries occurring on sealed or cleaned surfaces.
3.11. Tire Marks
Some tires contain compounds known as plasticizers that can transfer onto sealed surfaces, especially during sharp turns or abrupt acceleration.
- - Avoid sharp turns or pivoting tires for at least 10 days after service
- - Hot tires are more likely to leave marks
Tire marks are NOT covered under this warranty.
3.12. Landscaping & Plant Life
Handy Hunks takes reasonable precautions to protect surrounding landscaping during all cleaning services. However, some plants may experience temporary stress from cleaning solutions or environmental exposure.
- - Most plants recover naturally within days
- - Pre-wetting and rinsing procedures are followed on every job
- - We use eco-friendly, biodegradable solutions
Handy Hunks is NOT responsible for plant damage resulting from service operations.
3.13. Roof Cleaning & Algae Regrowth
Our soft-wash roof cleaning eliminates existing algae, mold, and organic growth at the time of service. However, roofs in Southwest Florida are constantly exposed to airborne spores and moisture.
- - Algae regrowth is inevitable over time in Florida's climate
- - Shaded roofs may see regrowth sooner than sun-exposed roofs
- - Regular maintenance cleaning extends results
Algae, mold, or mildew regrowth after cleaning is NOT covered under warranty.
3.14. Window & Glass Conditions
Professional window cleaning restores clarity to glass surfaces. However, some conditions are beyond the scope of cleaning services.
- - Failed seals (foggy appearance between panes) cannot be cleaned
- - Permanent hard water etching may remain after mineral deposit removal
- - Scratches, chips, or glass defects are not affected by cleaning
- - Screen damage discovered during removal is not our responsibility
Pre-existing glass damage, failed seals, and permanent etching are NOT covered.
3.15. Gutter System Conditions
Gutter cleaning removes debris and ensures proper water flow at the time of service. However, gutters are continuously exposed to falling debris and weather.
- - Debris accumulation after service is normal
- - Pre-existing gutter damage, rust, or improper installation
- - Clogs caused by storms or heavy leaf fall after service
- - Underground drainage issues or blockages
Gutter conditions or clogs occurring after service completion are NOT covered.
Section 4: Repairs & Structural Issues
If paver repairs, re-leveling, or minor corrections are performed before sealing, those services are considered temporary corrective measures. Underlying structural issues are beyond the control of Handy Hunks Exterior Services.
Issues NOT covered include:
Any repairs or adjustments performed do not carry warranty coverage, and future movement of pavers or surfaces is not the responsibility of Handy Hunks Exterior Services.
Section 5: Actions That Void the Warranty
The warranty will be immediately voided if any of the following occur:
- Pressure washing of sealed surfaces
- Application of additional sealers or coatings by another party
- Use of harsh chemicals or abrasives on the surface
- Work performed on the sealed or cleaned area by another contractor without prior authorization
- Failure to pay the invoice in full within the agreed terms
- Surface misuse, neglect, or abuse
- Damage caused by heavy equipment, vehicles, or construction activities
- Failure to follow post-service care instructions
- Modification or alteration of the serviced area
Important
Customers must contact Handy Hunks before allowing other contractors to perform any work on serviced surfaces. Failure to do so will void all warranty coverage.
