"Family or Friends" can act as "CREW" on your job (only). I hold myself fully
responsibility for the high quality of your flooring project. "Crew" is usually
required for about two or three days in total.
6b)
Likewise, Clients who choose to provide
reliable local and, but perhaps, unskilled
construction labour (one, two or three strong men with basic but, reliable,
tool-handling ability will work under my direct hands-on supervision (for
about two or three days in total.),
are responsible for the availability and performance of the crew they
engage. In exchange, Marreed-Prestman will credit clients "who choose to hire
locally" as per my usual local labour cost.
Furthermore, Clients accept
that Marreed-Prestman regularly and easily installs 400 sf. to 500 sf. on "Start
Day" and 600 sf. to 800 sf. on subsequent days. Therefore, client-supplied
workers are expected to attain this basic standard of performance in order to
control installation costs and meet our desired timeline.
As an
Outlier-Oriented Company we are Distinct, Resourceful and Outside Normal
Expectations ... as follows.
Marreed-Prestman defines Full
Installation as including all Premium Materials, Expert GripTightTM
Installation and my Proprietary Artistic Finishing but, not all Clients
require my Expertise nor, my Proprietary Artistic Finishing ...
Therefore, Clients can take advantage of Marreed-Prestman's
VALUE PACKAGE. The Value Package includes Premium Materials and my Exclusive

C2:
Any "Job Variable Adjustment/Rebate" or "N/C
service" that may be offered is honoured by Marreed-Prestman
1) upon the successful completion of the job,
2): fulfillment of Marreed-Prestman's T&C, 3): provided full payment of Final
Billing is made prior to Job Completion (as stipulated above)*.
*
1.
Should any disagreement emerge over Final
Billing, T&C statements will apply.
2. In the event of "non-payment" of Final
Billing, "Job Variable Adjustment/Rebate" and "N/C services" that may have been
included "pro bono" by Marreed-Prestman within the Final Billing are revoked ...
full payment would then involve charges for "all work and services* that was
actually provided (and digitally documented).
NOTE:
Marreed-Prestman is always
confronted with 'work required' and 'service options' that I fulfill (without
customer notification) if my intent is to offer material/work/services at N/C or
the material/work/service is 'too small an issue' to contact the customer for
'approval' or, where the product/work/service is an essential element in
completing the job (without holding up the work schedule).
Note:
Being of sound judgement, I have had only experienced one occasion where the
client 'withheld' payment-on-demand for Final Billing but, eventually understood
and made full and proper payment.
D:
For worker safety, site security and job
concentration, NO PERSON(S)* including Principals, "inspectors", trades and
delivery or service personnel, as well as, friends, neighbours or pets/animals
are permitted inside the Flooring Installation Construction Site/Working Area
during workday hours for the period of time it takes to install your flooring or
at any time day or night during 'critical' days in the Artistic Finishing
Process:
*
1. The Exception:
Should I be installing in an area not used as living quarters and not subject to
"interruptions" (rec. rooms, etc.) and where we can segregate the work area from
the living area and, where we can apply "non-toxic" waterborne topcoats, the
above conditions may not apply.
Clients are asked
not to invite friends and
neighbours On-site (anytime, day or night) while the job is in progress.
D1:
Marreed-Prestman does not "confer"
with other trades or delivery/service personnel concerning your building
project, nor do we supervise deliveries or "accept" or "sign" for deliveries or
service confirmations made on-site (outdoors) "on your behalf" unless the action
is requested by myself and directly associated with my immediate flooring job
requirements.
D2:
For safety* and security, telephone
and power cords, air ducts, water, hydraulic and 'pump' hoses, or the like, can
not be strung to/from/through or across any room or 'suspended' in any working
or building access area:
*
1. The building must be "fully enclosed and
lockable". For temperature and humidity control, windows, doors and "access
ports" (floor and attic hatches, etc.) are not permitted to be "left open" at
any time during the installation and finishing processes.
E:
Additional items
added or ordered by the Clients or deemed essential at the sole discretion of
Marreed-Prestman to complete the job properly are subject to payment upon
Final Billing wherever and whenever they may be
applicable. E.g. Preparation Work; such as removing furniture from work areas,
shim or level (slick mud) floor, rebuild damaged subfloor, remove glued
carpet/underlay, secure a subfloor, add or change a custom floor design or
number of finish coatings, build a "Crew Access" Ramp or protective Guard Rails
for working crew, build a Trap Door or Stair Landing, build a Sub-Floor
(strapping, sheathing) over concrete, bridge or taper floor to the level of
adjoining rooms/buildings, cut passage/panel doors to fit height of new
flooring, 'route' into or under log walls (in hand-scribed log buildings) to fit
the floor into the logs around log guard rails, thread TV/telephone cables
through sub-floor, install moulding around fireplace or staircase/balcony, cap
and finish stairs steps (treads, risers, landings), grout fireplace base or tile
(to fill, level or match), sand and paint door sills "to match", install
soundproofing or insulation, refinish flooring in adjoining rooms, supply and
install baseboards, window and door frames, build a decorative "room divider"
and the like.
In most cases, additional items are known in
advance and quoted with the job or ordered by the Clients but, some items
'discovered' and deemed essential to complete the job properly at the sole
discretion of Marreed-Prestman during the construction process and are
confirmed whenever possible in consultation with Clients:
*
1. Additional items such as, additional
flooring, baseboards, etc., that are not ordered in the original contract but,
added/ordered at a later date (perhaps, at the time of installation) will be
charged in accordance with the current Price List in effect at the time the
additional items are added/ordered. The ordering of more flooring for more rooms
(or other large items) require payment, with order.
F:
Restricted Access, Job Limitations and Special
Requirements* are quoted, in most cases, in advance of the job. Clients agree to
pay reasonable compensation to Marreed-Prestman for Restricted
Access, Job Limitations and Special Requirements, as they exist or, as they may
arise, while the job is in progress:
*
1.
Restricted vehicle access to building door
(delivery/working?), lack of on-site washroom or lack of sufficient electricity
or electrical outlets, heat, "hot" running water, ventilation,
(generators/heaters/fans?), indoor toilet?, utility basin?, lack of stair access
to upper (loft) level floor?, high-rise (elevator access/height restrictions?),
island (water access?), metropolitan area (excessive traffic congestion,
restricted parking, parking charges?), bridge limits (multiple loads/trips?
washouts?), ''unmassaged'', temporary or private roads (driving risk:
washouts/snow?), tight stairway/doorway access (pre-cutting?), inhibited work
space (wood storage/working/cutting?), inadequate or non-existent Preparatory
Work"G", etc.
G:
The Clients acknowledge that the Preparatory Work* where not contracted to
Marreed-Prestman will be completed by the Clients or another contractor**
prior to installation work (or "Finishing Only" ***) commencing, on schedule, as
follows:
*
1. Remove all furniture, wall hangings, drapes,
blinds, interior window screens in winter (only), ceiling light shades,
etc. and empty all closets/shelves (where flooring is to be installed).
2. Remove baseboards, carpeting, underlay, tack
rails, underlay staples (or remove the existing wood floor) then hammer down
loose nails and secure (counter-sink screw) sub-floor. Remove passage doors,
closet doors and floor tracks. Remove all wall hangings (decorative items and
brackets). Scrape floor, vacuum and remove debris from the work areas and clear
work buffer areas and access routes. Do not remove door frames or door
mouldings.
3. Evaluate and secure work buffer areas and access routes ... making sure decks
(posts and surface boards) and boardwalks can support the load of the material
we move onto the job site and position 'in reserve' (on decks and walkways) as
may be required.
4. Shut OFF Pilot Lights on gas appliances in
working areas such as in a gas fireplace or kitchen stove. Do not shut off
the Pilot Light for the main furnace. Refrain from firing-up any gas or wood
fireplace, stove, lamp or heater. Ensure that flammable products (liquids and
equipment) such as gas (ATV/boat/mower) containers, paint, solvents, etc., and
gas-powered equipment are removed from the premises.
5. Ensure hydro
power availability with interior heat set at 20C (68F) with humidity control set
to NORMAL 45-55% and air (fan or exhaust) ventilation set to "ON".
6.
Insure that any "dry rot", "mould" or other "damage" and "contaminants" are
properly addressed
by a building specialist at least two weeks before the tentative installation
date as such issues tend to be simple when done in advance or 'impossible' once
installation begins and if a health issue will delay or cancel an
installation job, at the sole discretion of Marreed-Prestman and at the expense
of the Client.
**
1.
Clients involved with new construction are to ensure that furniture or
fixtures, including baseboards, stairs/rails/balusters, "floor fixtures"
construction materials/equipment, etc., do not interfere with normal Tongue &
Groove wood floor installation. (If in doubt, talk with me or have your builder
contact me.)
Baseboard Heaters are raised by my crew in order to install the floor but,
"connecting wires" must be extendable at least six (6") inches.
2. Preparatory work not completed
to my "standard preparation" may need to be "improved" at additional expense.
(25% of order, minimum as follows (whichever is greater): $ 250.)
3. Electrical panels utilizing fuses (and not
breaker switches) are to be 'well stocked' with appropriately-sized fuses.
Final Finishing Only
The Clients acknowledge that Preparatory and
Installation Work where not contracted to Marreed-Prestman will be completed
by the Clients or another contractor prior to Marreed-Prestman commences with
"Finishing Only" on schedule, as follows:
***
1. Clients are responsible for the quality of
materials, installation methods and the effects of by-products (such as nails,
glue, etc.) that may or may not effect the quality and processes of Final
Finishing ... "Final Finishing" (only) jobs are guaranteed against DEFECTS
related to Marreed-Prestman's portion of the work only: fully excluding but
not limited to "any effect" of any substandard subfloor, client/contractor
supplied preparatory work, materials, installation and clean-up. Avoid Solvents,
Glues, Tapings, Ladders, Heavy Toolboxes, etc. on an unprotected floor. As with
any wood floor, lay paper, plastic or plywood, as required to protect the floor
while doing after work. Expect that 'professional' trades people electricians,
plumbers, painters, appliance delivery personnel and the like, will not think to
take logical and necessary precautions, unless supervised.
H:
Marreed-Prestman may deliver materials to your
site in advance of installation and record digital photographs of materials on
site ... it is the Client's responsibility to secure the site against theft,
fire, etc. Specifically, the Clients assumes full responsible for securing
delivered materials and for loss or damage* of delivered materials however
caused, without exception.
*
1. Materials will be placed in
your site in a strategic manner for reasons of load safety and acclimatization
and to protect the T&G wood profile. Therefore, flooring materials are not to be
moved or handled nor, is the heating/ventilation thermostats or monitors to be
'reset' without 'approval'.
I:
Marreed-Prestman expects to start and complete
your job on schedule in accordance with my Tentatively Scheduled Commencement
and Tentatively Scheduled Completion Dates*, but, I will not rush the job or
reduce the quality of work or jeopardize my expectation of the job result
for any reason ... your responsibilities, expectations and daily schedules
should allow leeway without claim or compensation for delays due to
preparation time, work flow, finishing and curing times, indoor/subfloor
humidity, adverse weather conditions (electrical storms/snow storms), and the
like.
Lost
Time
*
1. Marreed-Prestman will not be
held responsible or be expect to make up for "LOST TIME" because of delays you
may have experienced with prior trades or suppliers. However, "Rush Service" in
the form of additional crew and improved on-site services may be available at
additional cost, upon request.
2.
Marreed-Prestman reserves the right to change the "Commencement Date" and
"Completion Date" for your project, due to "health or emergency", "severe or
dangerous weather conditions" or the like; Marreed-Prestman will give prompt
verbal notice and written (e-mailed) confirmation, without compensation.
3.
Marreed-Prestman reserves the right to change the "Commencement Date and/or
Completion Date" for your project should an existing job a job-in-progress
exceed its expected Completion Date beyond what is considered 'normal' and
anticipated and allowed for in a reasonable "buffer period" between jobs ... an
in-progress and extended job could interfere with preparation time that is
planned for your job and it could limit crew availability, without claim or
compensation.
If you are unable to accept the installation and
finishing of your floor in your chosen time-frame because of a delay in the
building/renovation process, unsafe access or, because the floor is not clean
and free of debris/construction material or otherwise, not "properly prepared"
(by Clients) or, for lack of electrical power/outlets, heat, ventilation, "hot"
running water or, overlapping trade "interference", or perhaps, an unacceptable
hindrance, such as 'excessive' dust, noise, vibration or humidity levels
(drywall sanding, water well drilling, "impassable" and 'unassumed' roads or
snow-blocked driveway, etc.) then, Marreed-Prestman reserves the right to
decline starting or continuing on your job due to unacceptable
working/installation conditions and normal safety concerns. In such a case, we
will work with you to reschedule your installation/finishing time-frame to my
next available date which may be a day, week, month or longer. In addition,
Marreed-Prestman reserves the right to "split" a delayed and rescheduled job to
fit into my work schedule.
A "Job-Split" Fee may apply (Minimum $ 500.).
J:
Marreed-Prestman may accept your Labour Crew and
provide a Labour Cost Rebate... you and/or two or three of your STRONG "Family
or Friends" can act as "CREW" on your job only. I hold myself fully
responsibility for the high quality of your flooring project. "Crew" is usually
required for about two or three days in total.
10b) Likewise, Clients who
choose to provide reliable local and
experienced construction labour (one, two or three strong men with basic but,
reliable, tool-handling ability to work under my direct hands-on supervision (for
about two or three days in total.),
are responsible for the availability and basic performance of the crew they
hire. In exchange, Marreed-Prestman will credit clients "who choose to hire
locally" the equivalent of $ .75 sf. Furthermore, Clients accept that
Marreed-Prestman regularly and easily installs 400 sf. to 500 sf. on "Start Day"
and 600 sf. to 800 sf. on subsequent days. Therefore, client-supplied workers
are expected to attain this basic standard of performance in order to control
installation costs and meet our desired timeline.
K: Marreed-Prestman uses power tools and
other normal installation and finishing equipment* ... solvents, cleaning and
finishing products, dehumidifiers, fans and heaters as required. Although, we
take "every precaution"...
*
1. Clients accept responsibility and liability
for any electrical "malfunctions", fire, etc., however caused, without
exception,
2. Clients accept responsibility and liability for unauthorized persons (i.e.
neighbours, family, visitors, pets) on-site,
3. Clients authorize Marreed-Prestman to
shut-off or disconnect at its discretion any audible fire, carbon-monoxide
or security alarm system while we occupy the building,
4. Clients authorize Marreed-Prestman to deny or disconnect at its discretion
any "interruptive source" of my power supply, which may include power being
drawn from the building to accommodate other trades working on the exterior of
the building or on the property. (Those trades must use their own independent
generator as 'power fluctuations' due to heavy power consumption (by some
trades) will affect my specialty sanders and hinder their required operating
speeds).
5.
Clients authorize Marreed-Prestman to provide an
electrical generator (at additional cost, plus travel) should the power sources
available prove insufficient or 'unsafe' to power-up "initial surge" equipment.
6.
Clients should expect utility costs (hydro,
heat) to 'spike' due to installation power/energy consumption ... an average of
approximately $50. per 1,000 sf./installation).
L: Should it not be in the interest of
either or both parties to continue "working together" on your project due to one
or more major infractions of the T&C (by the client) ...
*
1. Marreed-Prestman is entitled to "full, proper
and immediate payment for the full Contract Price" and additional
products/labour/services and billable items listed in the Final Billing.
2. Marreed-Prestman will upon your written request and my acceptance, "be of
service in an advisory capacity only" at no additional cost (except for travel)
for a period of up to 15 days of any "cancellation" or "suspension" of the
flooring contract (time permitting and at the discretion of Marreed-Prestman).
M: On average, all
Client Access* to the job site is restricted (for a
minimum period of 4 to 6 days) during the critical Artistic Finishing
Process.
*
1)
The job site is restricted to other trades and
can not be 'occupied' by people or pets for the time period required to
install and finish your flooring although, we try to facilitate
"after-hours" on-site living and Client Access based on reasonable expectations
during the installation process.
2. "Curing Time" is three (3) full days after the final finishing, under ideal
conditions, prior to Client Access (in dry stocking feet or soft-sole shoes
3.
Move in furniture on Day #4 after the final finishing.
4. "Full Cure Time" is ten (10)
days, in ideal conditions,
prior to the introduction of any dog, area carpets, floor
plants/trees, etc.
5. Any additional interior work carried on by other trades upon my departure can
proceed (at your risk and discretion). X-Link (sister page):
Floor Care
N:
A
Marreed-Prestman Red Pine floor will still ding,
dent and scratch but, my method of distressing and SFX finishing camouflages
abuse ... the eye is not drawn to any particular mark (new or old). my
'animal-friendly' Diamond-Tough Flood-Coat Finish is critically important.
It's magic because it's Livable when you live with kids and dogs (or they
visit).

the Terms or Conditions of this Agreement as a result of conditions beyond my

building facility or equipment or supply or supporting service, shall not be

A. Marreed

Red Pine flooring is a
natural product ... it is not a composite, it is not
plastic, as such, ~ 1% expansion and contraction of the wood in the annual
"breathing" process is normal. Additional, expansion and contraction may be
"aggravated" by the "lack of normal temperature and humidity levels" in the
building prior to, during or after the installation and finishing processes.
