Observation: Grade markings show on deck floor boards.
Performance Standard: Grade markings shall not be visible on the tops of deck floorboards, except where the grain of the wood requires the mark to be exposed and it is not removed by sanding.
Corrective Measure: The remodeler will sand or reinstall deck floorboards in order to conceal grade markings as far as practical. Sanded areas may not match un-sanded areas.
Discussion: Light colored or natural stains or finishes may not hide grade markings completely even after sanding.
