I see around here most of the companies are offering a 1 year warranty on their work, a few are giving 10 year warranties and a few are giving lifetime warranties of their work.
I was thinking of offering a: Limited lifetime warranty
Covering all labor for the lifetime of the work preformed on your home for the duration you are the homeowner.
In short this ends up being a non-transferrable warranty. I would warranty the work for as long as they owned the home.
What do you think? Warranties are kind of strange beasts, since you have to have so many disclamers in them. For instance you build a deck, you warranty the labor against defects, but the finish can't be warrantied for a lifetime considering most finishes need to be maintained every two years. You can't warranty against rot indefinetly since even pressure treated wood eventually rots. There seems to be a lot to this the more I think about it. Any simpler methods, or is this why so many people are just giving a 1 year warranty, because anything else is just so impossible to figure out the complications down the road?
