Warranty Highlights
Here are a few key warranty highlights we find our builders appreciate.
- Only warranted elements which are specifically designated in the warranty standards are covered by this Limited Warranty.
- Actions taken to cure Defects will NOT extend the periods of specified coverages in this Limited Warranty.
- When the homeowner’s request for warranty performance is determined to be a warranted issue, the Warrantor reserves the right to repair or replace the warranted item, or to pay them the reasonable cost of repair or replacement.
- The homeowner must provide the Warrantor and/or Administrator with reasonable weekday access during normal business hours to inspect the condition of your Home and/or to perform their obligations.
- Under this Limited Warranty, the Warrantor is not responsible for exact color, texture or finish matches in situations where materials are replaced or repaired, or for areas repainted or when original materials are discontinued.
