Risks of frame cracking

Poorly realized finishes (overflow of silicone, masonry type painting not realized. )

On the other hand, as the craftsmen carpenters are subject to an obligation of result as part of their contractual commitment (guarantees of perfect completion, biennial and decennial), certain remedies are offered to you in case of malfunctions!
