3. Courtesy: While River City Restoration, LLC. is on location and performing work on your property, you are responsible for keeping all children and pets, as well as other individuals away from the work areas. We ask that all pet waste be picked up before our arrival. If there is waste in the yard and you are not able to pick it up, Then there will be a $150 fee as we'll have to clean animal waste off of our equipment.
4. Water Usage: By accepting this agreement, you agree to provide River City Restoration, LLC. the right to use an on-site water supply as needed to complete the stated project without compensation. It is the customer’s responsibility to make sure the water supply is on and in working order before we arrive. *Additional charges will be applied if water is not available, or the job will be canceled.
5. Color and Tone Concerns: On painted surfaces, a test spot will be checked to ensure that the cleaning agent does not remove the paint color. There are a few paint manufacturers that have organic pigments in their paint. If your house has organic pigmented paint, we will not be able to provide you with a house wash. Stained and wooden surfaces: depending on the condition of the surface it will take the cleaning agent differently. Wood naturally has different tones and colors. The result of cleaning wooden surfaces will not be a uniform color or tone. The wood's natural grain and tone will remain. We recommend waiting a week after cleaning, then sealing or staining wood surfaces.
6. Scheduling: Inclement weather may affect scheduling. We try our best to keep scheduling conflicts to a minimum, however, circumstances that are beyond our control may affect your appointment dates. You will be notified of any changes.
7. Removal & Replacement: Removal and replacement of grills, deck furniture, planters and any other items are the responsibility of the homeowner. Should we need to remove items away from the home, we will not be responsible for any damage, breakage or for storage issues. This also includes screened porches and clutter around the house. *An additional charge may be applied for time & labor devoted to the removal of these items.
8. Damages: River City Restoration, LLC. will not be responsible for the following conditions. We are 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 downspouts, and improper caulking. In every aluminum siding case & some cases with vinyl siding, the weather will bleach the color or cause fading. We will do our best not to cause more fading, but it may accrue. River City Restoration, LLC. will not be responsible for loose mortar that may dislodge during the cleaning process.
9. Stains: Some stains cannot be removed by power washing or soft washing. Tree sap, artillery fungus, & splatters from stains and paints are examples of materials that cannot be removed by conventional means. River City Restoration, LLC. cannot guarantee removal of artillery fungus from exterior house surfaces. 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. Products: During the treatment of organic growth, sodium hypochlorite is used as a disinfectant. This is an industry standard for soft washing, but there is a concern for some homeowners that our cleaning agents will damage plant life. During our cleaning process all vegetation will be watered before, during, and after our cleaning. In almost all of our cleaning processes we are using a mixture of 98.75% water and 1.25% sodium hypochlorite. During stain and graffiti removal, certain acids are needed to remove the stain.
