What a remodeling workmanship warranty is for

A remodel puts dozens of products and several trades into one room, so a warranty claim can be about anything. A clear warranty covers the workmanship of you and your subs, passes manufacturer warranties on cabinets, appliances and fixtures to the owner, and sets out normal settling like small drywall cracks. Many remodelers also schedule a check-in visit before the warranty ends.

What to put in a remodeling workmanship warranty

  • Workmanship of you and your subcontractors.
  • Manufacturer warranties on cabinets, counters, appliances and fixtures.
  • Normal settling: hairline drywall and caulk cracks.
  • Exclusions: owner-supplied items, misuse, changes by others.
  • A check-in visit before the warranty ends.
  • How to request service.

What a remodeling warranty usually leaves out

  • Owner-supplied fixtures, appliances and materials.
  • Hairline drywall cracks and caulk separation from settling.
  • Damage from misuse, impacts or lack of maintenance.
  • Work by others after the job was finished.
  • Natural variation in stone, wood and tile.

FAQ

What does a remodeling warranty cover?

The workmanship of the contractor and their subs on the work they did. Products like cabinets and appliances carry their own manufacturer warranties, which pass to the homeowner.

Are drywall cracks covered after a remodel?

Small cracks from normal settling usually are not defects. Many remodelers touch them up once at a check-in visit before the warranty ends.

Does the warranty cover owner-supplied fixtures?

Usually the contractor covers the installation labor only. Defects in an owner-supplied product are between the owner and the seller.

Do state laws add to a remodeling warranty?

State law may give homeowners rights on top of a written warranty. Your written warranty is in addition to those rights, so check your state's rules.
