Interior Walls
The walls and ceiling in your new home are constructed of wood and other materials which are subject to normal shrinkage and settling. Molding and trim can shrink and warp in some cases; drywall will tend to crack at corners. These effects are particularly obvious during the first year after your home is built. It is your responsibility to perform routine maintenance on molding, trim and drywall.
All of your walls and ceilings are painted with a flat paint. Your kitchen, bathrooms, wood trim and interior doors are painted with an enamel paint.
The walls in your home are textured for beauty and style. The texture is relatively soft and can be damaged by scrubbing with abrasive cleansers and rough brushes. Do not attempt to clean smudges from a flat-painted wall. Instead, paint over the area with matching touch-up paint. When cleaning smudges from enameled walls, wipe off the excess water immediately. Do not permit the drywall to become soaked with water. Use care when hanging pictures and other decorative items. The drywall is brittle and will break if hit with a hammer. Repair nail holes and minor cracks with a dab of caulking, spackle or putty.
The walls are constructed in a conventional manner and are not designed for pocket doors to be added later. Where a pocket door is an original feature of your home, use care when hanging pictures because hangers may impede the movement of the door.
