Builders Warranty

I am just starting to build a spec home and was wandering what is the normal warranties with the home you build and how long?

Re: Builders Warranty

My state (NM) requires minimum one year on everything by the builder.

Manufacturers warranties (and what a fraud they are) can be longer.

You can warrant longer if you wish.

Re: Builders Warranty

One year is the standard around here odds and in in the home, but you are held to, I think, 15 years for the structural integrity.

Re: Builders Warranty

One year in Oklahoma, but structural problems that arise within a few years generally come back on the builder through litigation.
