Observation: Masonry or veneer walls are cracked.
Performance Standard: Cracks greater than 3/8 inch in width are not acceptable.
Corrective Measure: The remodeler will repair cracks in excess of the performance standard by tuck pointing, patching, or painting. The remodeler will not be responsible for color variation between original and new mortar.
Discussion: Small hairline cracks resulting from shrinkage are common in mortar joints in masonry construction.
