What is a Builder's Warranty for New Construction?
According to the FTC "A builder warranty comes with new home construction or a remodel. It covers items that are typically a permanent part of the home, like concrete floors, plumbing, or electrical work. Most newly built homes come with a builder warranty.
Builder warranties for newly built homes generally offer limited coverage on workmanship and materials for specific components of the home, like windows, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), plumbing, and electrical systems. Warranties also usually spell out how repairs are made."
