Performance
Shitan agrees to furnish all labor (Shitan may elect to use licensed subcontractors), equipment, and material as set forth in the
scope of work (“SOW”) attached and incorporated hereto in exchange for full payment by Owner as set forth in this Contract,
and as it otherwise may be amended. All labor, equipment, and material will be furnished in a good, workmanlike manner,
and in accordance with industry standards. Upon completion of the work, Shitan will remove debris, surplus material, and old
windows and doors from Owner’s property and leave it in a neat and broom-clean condition. The term “broom-clean
condition” shall have its plain and ordinary meaning and shall not be construed to mean “professionally-cleaned condition”.
No other work is promised or implied unless specifically set forth in writing. Owner must be present at the property during the
install and has 48 hours to inspect the work and report installation complaints to Shitan. All material is warranted only as
specified in this contract.
Approximate Start and Completion Dates:
Owner acknowledges that Shitan is not a manufacturer, and windows and doors are supplied to Shitan by third-party
manufacturers. Vinyl windows and doors normally are delivered to Shitan between four (4) to ten (10) weeks after the order has
been placed with the manufacturer. Aluminum, Colored Vinyl, Fiberglass and Wood windows and doors can take between
eight (8) to fourteen (14) weeks to be delivered to Shitan. Installation normally commences within one to two (2) weeks of
product delivery to Shitan, and at a date suitable to Shitan (“scheduled date”). If installation is delayed more than seven (7) days
from the scheduled date due to no fault of Shitan, a storage charge of $75.00 per day thereafter will be invoiced to Owner.
Shitan is specifically not responsible for the following:
1. Moving and replacing furniture and other impediments to access (if Shitan is asked to do so by Owner, and Shitan
agrees, Owner shall hold Shitan harmless for damage); and,
2. Removal and replacement of window treatments/coverings (if Shitan is asked to do so by Owner, and Shitan agrees,
Owner shall hold Shitan harmless for damage); and,
3. Connection and reconnection of alarm systems; and,
4. Painting, Drywall Repair, Stucco Repair, Tile Repair, Interior molding/casing, Exterior molding/casing; and,
5. Building Permit Fees. Windows, glazing and/or fenestration require building permits per the California Building
Code (CBC) Sec. 105.1, California Residential Code (CRC) Sec. 105.1 and County Building Codes. All Permit fees are
the responsibility of the Owner. If Shitan is requested to pull permits, the owner will be responsible for paying Shitan a
$250.00 permit runner’s fee in addition to any city fees required; and,
6. Retrofit and Block installations require Shitan to cut parts of the existing windows/doors, existing frames will
remain. While cutting existing windows and doors, vibrations to the exterior/interior walls and surrounding coverings
(tiles, mouldings, siding, stucco, etc) may happen (Shitan is not responsible for vibration damage).
7. Home Owner’s Association approval, if needed. It is Owner’s responsibility to inform Shitan that the Owner’s
property is governed under a HOA. Such notice shall be given to Shitan within three (3) days of Contract execution by
Owner.
8. Scaffolding (if necessary) will be provided at the homeowner’s expense.
