What are the Limited Warranty terms and Period of Coverage?

This is a Limited 5 Year Residential / 3 Year Commercial, DELAMINATION WARRANTY and is conditional upon “You” (The original purchaser of the product) having paid in full all sums due to “Us” (Modern Finishes LLC.) under the signed contractor agreement or approved Invoice, including any and all extras, upon completion of the product installation. Unless otherwise agreed by both parties in writing, the terms of this limited warranty shall be as follows: Modern Finishes LLC. shall warranty our Concrete Repair System and Decorative Coatings as long as you legally own the property address at which the product was installed. The care and maintenance of your Concrete Repair System is your responsibility and the conditions under this provision are required to insure the validity of this warranty. Remember, we only warranty the products performance if properly maintained. Product failure due to negligence of proper care and poor maintenance is not covered by this warranty. The warranty is non-transferable and is only valid if all terms and conditions listed on the original contractor agreement or invoice have been satisfied. This warranty is limited to repairing only those areas which have failed directly due to a product related failure.  

​

What Is Delamination?

Delamination is the process whereby a product delaminates or separates from the substrate, leaving the substrate in tacked.  If our Concrete Repair System comes off with the substrate still attached to it, then that is a failure of the substrate, and not a delamination of our product.  This would NOT be covered under our Delamination warranty.

​

What Does This Warranty Cover?

The warranty pertains only to our Concrete Repair System and is limited to repairing or replacing only those areas which have failed due directly to product related conditions. If a material related failure occurs, we will supply the appropriate labor and material to correct the condition for as long as you own and reside at the property location. For commercial customers, the warranty shall be valid for as long as the owner of record maintains ownership of the property(s) where our Concrete Repair System was installed.

How do I take care of my decorative concrete coating?

Cleaning and sealing your decorative concrete coating should be done on a regular basis, just like any other home maintenance.  The frequency will depend on how high the traffic area is to cars, foot traffic, and any chemicals the decorative concrete coating is exposed to such as chlorine, salt water, stabilizer and the like. To help protect the surface of your new decorative concrete surface, we recommend resealing every 2-3 years although customers in a more aggressive environment or people who have salt-water pools may choose to re-seal more frequently.  If you wait longer you may notice the surface color to fade slightly.  Keeping a fresh coat of sealer will protect and keep the color as vibrant as the day it was installed. Sealing will help to prevent staining and, helps to create water-tight protection. Over time, an unprotected decorative surface may begin to exhibit small check cracks exposing the decorative surface to potential damage from chemicals, and freeze/thaw cycling. Preventing water and frost penetration will help to prolong the life and prevent damage to your decorative concrete coating. Sealing will also keep the color vibrant and make the surface easier to clean. You should always consider having the surface evaluated if you are unsure of the sealer’s integrity. Contact Modern Finishes LLC. to schedule an appointment. mymodernfinishes@gmail.com (970) 309-3143.

Normal cleaning can be easily accomplished with a garden hose or a power washer.  Use dish soap and a medium bristle broom to remove residue.  Apply, scrub, and rinse thoroughly to remove all residue.  Exterior surfaces may be hosed, or low pressure washed (maximum pressure 1500 psi).  Just as you routinely wash and wax your vehicles and have your carpets cleaned on a regular basis, your decorative concrete coating requires cleaning attention as well, to maintain its' beauty and longevity. Please see below for information about our Extended Maintenance Plan.

Decorative concrete coatings (when sealed) are "stain resistant", not "stain proof".  The sooner stains receive attention, the easier they are to remove.  Stains can remain permanently if they are allowed to penetrate into the surface.  Residue such as tree sap or road tar may be spot cleaned with either Goo Gone or Dissolves-It and then rinsing with water afterwards.   Tire marks on driveways or garage floors can be removed with driveway cleaners or engine de-greases.  Rinse well with water afterwards.  Only use products approved by Modern Finishes LLC.

Concrete Repair Systems are highly chemical resistant when sealed but not chemical damage proof.  Care should be taken to rinse and or neutralize any pool treatment chemicals which are in a concentrated form as soon as possible to deter surface damage and discoloration. Salt water from salt-water pools should be rinsed off the surface from time to time in order to reduce the exposure time. Although, treated swimming pool water itself will not hurt a surface if it has been diluted properly.

​

What happens if I do not maintain my decorative concrete coating?

The care and maintenance of your decorative concrete coating is your responsibility and the conditions under this provision are required to insure the validity of this warranty. Failure to follow the care and maintenance process may result in voiding the warranty of your decorative concrete coating. Remember, we only warranty the products performance if maintained properly. Product failure due to negligence of proper care and poor maintenance is not covered by this warranty.

​

What Does This Warranty Not Cover?

Major issues, including but not limited to: texture, profile, integral coloring, and boarder pattern color must be addressed and corrected on the date of installation. Changes must be documented on a change order. Major issues not addressed on the date of installation are not covered by this warranty and are excluded from rework under this warranty. We do not warranty weather related product failures. We do not warranty sealer related failures as surface maintenance is out of our control and improper maintenance may negatively influence the performance of the sealer. Though a properly maintained surface is resistant to various chemicals; prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals such as salt and pool chemicals may damage the decorative concrete coating and are not covered by this warranty (Refer to maintenance procedures above). It is recommended that you maintain your surface and occasionally reseal your concrete overlay to protect the surfaces from staining and surface color ware.  We, as an installation contractor, cannot assume any responsibility as to the existing site conditions in applying or installing our floors or flooring systems as it pertains to the condition of the foundation, soil, slab, stability, ground water, water vapor, moisture drive or the presence and condition of vapor barrier. Problems with any or all of the above may negatively influence the performance of any flooring application. If any of these problems are suspect, appropriate measures should be taken and if necessary, corrections should be made prior to any floor application. Should you be concerned with any structural or substrate stability issues, these issues should be addressed prior to us starting the job. Please note that at no time will unaffected or non-failing areas be repaired or replaced.

Our decorative concrete coatings are of the highest quality available on the market but are ultimately only as good as the surface that we are resurfacing. THEREFORE, IF THE EXISTING SUBSTRATE HAS EXISTING CRACKS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, OR IF THE SUBSTRATE CRACKS AFTER INSTALLATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED, THAT DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT OR THE BOND LINE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THIS INSTABILITY AND IS NOT CONSIDERED A PRODUCT RELATED FAILURE. WE, AS AN INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR, DO NOT WARRANTY OUR PRODUCT AGAINST CRACKING, OR ANY OTHER PROGRESSIVE DETERIORATION, WHICH MAY OCCUR TO THE EXISTING SUBSTRATE AND THE PRODUCT THAT HAS BEEN INSTALLED OVER DETERIORATING AREAS. All of our decorative concrete coatings can be repaired but unless specified in this warranty, any repairs made to correct a defective condition will be charged at the current rate for said repair. This warranty only covers contracted items. Modern Finishes LLC. reserves the right to change the terms of this warranty without notice. Items not listed in this warranty are not covered.

​

What Will We Do to Correct Problems?

We will schedule and provide the labor & related materials necessary to repair the affected areas to best match the existing product installation.
