Understanding Construction Warranties: Types,
Learn about the different types of construction warranties, their coverage, duration, common exclusions, and how to effectively claim them.
Below are the most common types of construction warranties: 1. Workmanship Warranty Covers defects resulting from poor labor or installation practices. Example: A 1-year workmanship warranty on tile installation ensures the tiles won't crack or shift due to improper placement. 2. Material Warranty
Product and Material Warranties: These warranties are provided by manufacturers and suppliers of the materials and products used in the construction. They guarantee that the materials and products are free from defects and will perform as intended for a specified period.
Most construction warranties range from 1 to 10 years, depending on the type of warranty and the work or materials involved. Can a guarantee and a warranty coexist in a construction project? Yes. For example, a contractor may guarantee the performance of a foundation while offering a warranty on specific material defects.
Manufacturer warranties cover specific products or materials used in the construction process, such as roofing materials, windows, or appliances. These warranties are provided by the manufacturers of the products and typically guarantee that the products will perform as advertised for a certain period.
