Your Limited Warranty Includes: Performance Standards The components of your home are warranted against construction defects and to meet the levels of construction quality and performance set forth in California Civil Code Sections 896 and 897 for the time periods set forth in California Civil Code Sections 896 and 941. These standards describe what you should expect from the components that make up your home. Your Limited Warranty also describes some common situations that can cause a component or system to be excluded from coverage under the Limited Warranty. For example, failure to perform routine maintenance or making modifications to your home may result in an item being excluded from coverage. For a complete description of exclusions, please consult the Limited Warranty. If you believe a component in your home is not performing as it should, please consult the Limited Warranty for terms and conditions or contact a member of your local Customer Service Team. Fit and Finish Standards Fit and finish components of your home – such as cabinets, flooring, countertops, and trim – are warranted against fit and finish defects for one year as more fully set forth in your Limited Warranty. During your pre-closing home orientation, you will have the opportunity to view the cosmetic condition of your home. Damage that occurs after the closing of your home and that is not the result of a construction defect, such as scratches to finished surfaces or damage to window screens, is not covered under the Limited Warranty.
Consumer Products Certain consumer products in your home, such as appliances, water heaters, carpeting, and other manufactured items, are not covered under the Limited Warranty. Instead, these items are covered by a separate warranty issued by the manufacturer. Please consult the owner’s manual for warranty and service information for consumer products.
The Spirit of the Limited Warranty
Our Limited Warranty commitment is easy to understand and is based on common sense. We believe the Homeowner has a right to expect a clean home complete and free of defects at the time of closing. Components should work. If there are problems because of construction defects, the Builder will arrange for repair or replacement. If a problem results from actions by occupants of the home or others, or from ordinary wear and tear, the Builder is not responsible for the resulting repair or replacement. We view your Limited Warranty in terms of what you, as our customer, have a right to expect. We view the issue of preventative maintenance in terms of what your home has a right to expect from you. None of the materials used in the construction of your home will last forever. However, most will last for a long time if properly maintained. It is our desire to help you understand how to prolong the life of your home through regular maintenance that is appropriate for the types of material used in your home.
