Claim Response

Siding, shakes or shingles not meeting the Acceptable Performance/Condition must be rectified and are to be refinished to match as closely as possible to the remaining field of the wall; however, an exact match may not be possible.

Reapply paint or sealant to exposed fasteners as needed

Do not place soil or flower beds against the siding.
