Structural Warranty

Covers major structural defects to load-bearing components of your home.

  • Foundation systems and footings ?The concrete base your home sits on. Typical lifespan: 80 to 100+ years with proper drainage and maintenance.
  • Floor framing systems ?Joists, subfloor, and structural supports between levels. Typical lifespan: 50 to 100 years depending on material and moisture exposure.
  • Load-bearing walls and partitions ?Walls that carry weight from above to the foundation. Lifespan matches the home when properly constructed and not modified.
  • Roof framing systems ?Trusses, rafters, and ridge beams that form the roof structure. Typical lifespan: 50 to 100+ years with proper ventilation.
  • Beams, girders, columns, and lintels ?Heavy structural members that span openings and transfer loads. Engineered to last the full life of the home.
Structural damage qualifiers: For a claim to be approved under years 3 through 10, there must be physical damage to a load-bearing element, and this failure must directly cause the damage and render the home unsafe, unsanitary, or unlivable.

Manufacturers vary by project. Most warranties are likely transferrable to future buyers.

1 Year

Workmanship Warranty

All workmanship items are covered during the first year of occupancy.

  • Exterior cosmetic defects in siding and stonework ?Covers visible flaws in exterior cladding. Quality siding lasts 20 to 40 years. Stone veneer is essentially permanent when properly installed.
  • Warped flooring, loose or cracked tile ?Covers installation defects in hardwood, LVP, and tile. Hardwood floors last 25 to 100 years. Tile can last 50+ years if installed correctly.
  • Improper installation of doors and windows ?Covers alignment, sealing, and operation issues. Properly installed doors and windows should operate smoothly for their full 20+ year lifespan.
  • Misaligned cabinets in kitchen and baths ?Covers level, plumb, and alignment of cabinetry. Quality wood cabinets last 15 to 20 years. Soft-close hinges typically last 10+ years.
  • Interior paint peeling and drywall blemishes or cracks ?Covers paint adhesion and visible drywall defects. Interior paint typically lasts 5 to 10 years before refreshing. Minor settling cracks are normal after year one.
  • Improperly installed roof shingles ?Covers shingle placement, nail patterns, and flashing details. Proper installation is critical to reaching the full 25 to 30 year shingle lifespan.

We stand behind every home we build. After 30 years and hundreds of projects, we can confidently offer this warranty knowing that quality craftsmanship speaks for itself. We're proud to say most of our homeowners never need to use the warranty at all!
