5) Color and T one Concerns:
The properties and species of wood age and weather can greatly affect the resulting color or tone of
the stain. Note: Variances may occur on individual boards as well as the total project, as densities and
other characteristics vary across and throughout the wood. Shining star softwash and its associates
attempt to represent the final finish color and tones as best as possible. While we can often give you
an idea of the overall color or tone you must expect some variance in the overall finish.6) Courtesy:

responsible for keeping all children and pets, as well as other individuals away from the work area.
Children and pets must be kept off the work surface for at least 24 hours after our work is completed.

by Shining star softwash related to the collection process of outstanding balances.

Scheduling in a business which productivity relies upon the weather can be difficult. Inclement
weather may affect scheduling. We try our best to keep scheduling conflicts to a minimum, however,

9) Removal & Replacement of Deck Contents:

of the homeowner. Should we need to remove items from the deck, we will not be responsible for any
damage, breakage or for storage issues. An additional charge may be applied for the time and labor
devoted to the removal of these items.
10) Damages:
Shining star softwash is not responsible for damages due to improperly installed siding, loose
shingles or siding, broken or opened windows, improperly sealed windows and doors, wood rot,
defective construction, improperly secured wires, loose or improperly installed gutters, and leaders
and improper caulking. In every aluminum siding case and in some cases with vinyl siding, the sun and
weather will bleach the color or cause fading. Power washing, which entails the removal of chalky,
gritty, or failing surface materials may cause the faded aspects of the vinyl or aluminum to stand out.
Shining star softwash will not be responsible for such conditions. Shining star softwash will not be
responsible for loose mortar that may dislodge during the cleaning process.
11) Stains:
Some stains cannot be removed by power washing. Tree sap, artillery fungus, splatters from stains
and paints are examples of materials that cannot be removed by conventional means. We make every
attempt to point these areas out to the customer when quoting the project. Sometimes these stains
cannot be removed at all.
-12) Watertight:
Shining star softwash Services expects your property to be in good repair and weathertight. This
includes, but is not limited to all electrical services including receptacles and light fixtures. Doors and
windows shall also be weathertight. Shining star softwash Services is not responsible for damages as
a result of water infiltration from poor or improper installation, maintenance, or repair of electrical-
related items or doors or windows. Shining star softwash cannot guarantee removal of artillery
fungus from exterior house surfaces.
13) Window Spotting:
Windows may become water spotted as a result of our services. Window cleaning is NOT included.
14) Concrete:
The appearance of concrete depends on a number of factors most linked to when the concrete was
initially poured and cured. When concrete with dirt, mold, mildew, algae and other pollutants and
stains is cleaned, the concrete will then reveal any and all imperfections that the pollutants and stains
have covered up. The customer understands that not all concrete will look the same even on the same
driveway, patio, sidewalk, or concrete slab.
