The vacuum beater bar will cause damage to the Berber and this damage is not covered under warranty. Earth Park Homes will warranty Berber carpeting only in a case of defect in workmanship or materials outlined by the manufacturer.

When selecting hardwood flooring, it is the buyer’s responsibility to maintain humidity levels between 30%-50%. Levels above or below the recommended levels may cause severe damage due to expansion and contraction and may void any warranty. Hardwood flooring is a natural product. Cracking and splitting of boards can and does occur. Chipping to the edges of individual boards is also a common occurrence. By choosing to install hardwood floor, the buyer acknowledges and accepts that Earth Park Homes does not warranty the above mentioned items.
