Simpson Strong-Tie reference
Exterior wood and compatible connections
Wood assemblies need a suitable species or treatment, sound supporting members and compatible connectors for the exposure.
Selection check
Review moisture exposure, end grain, ground contact, finish maintenance and fastener corrosion before selecting the lumber.
Coverage and scope
Lumber, finish and hardware can carry different terms. Ask for the actual supplier and component documents instead of assuming lifetime coverage.

Structural connectors and fasteners
Connectors transfer forces between specified framing members when installed with the correct compatible fasteners.
Selection check
Selection depends on the loads, wood treatment, exposure and connection geometry. Decorative appearance does not establish structural capacity.
Coverage and scope
Product documentation governs the selected connector. A hardware warranty does not replace structural design or cover an unspecified assembly.
KraftMaid
Factory-built cabinetry
Cabinet boxes, doors, drawers and storage accessories need to work with the room’s measured layout and appliances.
Selection check
Review fillers, finished end panels, support, hardware clearances and installation responsibility. Approve a physical door sample before ordering.
Coverage and scope
KraftMaid provides limited lifetime coverage for eligible residential cabinetry; commercial and other exclusions apply.

Questions for this project
What should a limited repair estimate say about the surrounding finish?
It should identify the retained work, new material, connection detail and finish boundary. A sample helps establish an accepted appearance; an exact match is not assured when the old product or its original condition cannot be reproduced.
What needs to be confirmed before carpentry begins?
Record source correction and material treatment. The written scope should also identify the selected products, work boundaries, required trade coordination and approval steps for changes.
Are the listed manufacturers included in every estimate?
No. These are references for comparing product categories. Availability, suitability, the exact model and the actual supplier must be confirmed for the property. A reference does not imply certification, stock or a brand affiliation.
Manufacturer coverage: Terms apply to the exact product and eligible application. Material coverage, complete-system programs and installation workmanship are different obligations. Request the current written warranty and care instructions; a warranty term is not a guaranteed service life. Generic illustrations are original explanatory artwork, not branded packaging.
