HomePoint with Builder's Warranty: A Comprehensive Approach

Congratulations! You have built the home of your dreams or recently completed a significant remodel. Those should include a builder’s warranty. However, many homeowners misunderstand or misinterpret what the builder’s warranty covers and most importantly, what it does not cover. Let’s dive into this topic. Ultimately, the combination of your builder creating your dream home, warranting their work and combining the HomePoint service to keep your home in peak condition is the home run combination.

What's Included:

The builder’s warranty is typically 12 months and includes things such as:

Structural components: the foundation, load-bearing walls, roof framing, and beams for any significant defects or failures.
Workmanship and materials: the quality of construction and materials used and the workmanship.
Mechanical systems: typically the plumbing and electrical systems as well as water heaters and HVAC equipment

What's Missing:

Now let’s talk about some of those things that the builder’s warranty does not cover that every home, even a brand new one, needs…

Maintenance: not only does the builder’s warranty not cover ongoing maintenance, failure to conduct maintenance might even void some warranties. AC filters need to be changed, AC condensate lines need to be treated to help prevent clogs, AC condensers need to be cleaned, tankless water heaters need to be descaled. Did you get an awesome undercounter ice maker? Those need to be descaled, cleaned and water filters changed twice a year. Water softeners need salt added. And many other maintenance items that every home needs are not part of a builder’s warranty.
General wear and tear: our homes are lived in and things happen. Rambunctious kids playing can put a hole in a wall or foundation settling can cause some minor cracks. Toilet flappers erode with the chlorine in the water causing a toilet to constantly run.
Non-permanent fixtures: want a new towel rod installed, pictures hung, new furniture assembled? These types of service calls are not included in a builder’s warranty.

HomePoint is a proactive and comprehensive service that takes care of the ongoing maintenance every house needs and is the homeowners trusted partner for all the things that come up that always will. Your builder built you a home you love and are proud of. Of course they warranty their craftsmanship, materials and mechanicals. Combine that with HomePoint’s maintenance and service calls to keep your home in peak condition!

Don’t void your appliance warranties.

Preserve your appliance warranties by not neglecting maintenance. Even with new appliances, it’s crucial to adhere to regular upkeep, as many warranties become null and void without proper maintenance. Simply having new appliances isn’t enough; taking proactive steps to ensure their well-being through regular care is essential to safeguarding your warranty coverage.

Builder's Warranty: A Closer Look

Proactive Safeguard: A builder’s warranty is typically included when you purchase a newly constructed home. It offers coverage for various aspects of your new home right from the start. This means you’re not merely waiting for problems to arise; you’re taking proactive steps to prevent issues before they even occur.
Coverage: A builder’s warranty is designed to protect your investment by covering a wide array of components. This coverage often extends to structural elements, mechanical systems, workmanship, materials, waterproofing, and even the appliances installed in your new home.
Duration: These warranties come with specified durations, with different coverage periods for different components. For example, workmanship and materials are generally covered for one year, while structural components may have a longer, often 10-year, warranty period.
No Additional Cost: The cost of a builder’s warranty is typically included in the purchase price of your newly constructed home. This means there are no extra premiums or hidden fees to worry about.
Service Calls: If an issue covered by the builder’s warranty arises during the warranty period, the builder is responsible for the repair or replacement. You won’t need to pay extra for the specific repair work.
Mandatory Protection: In many areas, builders are legally required to provide a builder’s warranty to protect buyers against defects in new construction. This warranty is often backed by insurance, ensuring you have recourse in case of issues.
