New Book About Warranties Helps Avoid Costly Mistakes

A new book from NAHB about warranties helps builders and remodelers avoid costly mistakes.

Warranties for Builders and Remodelers” is a new publication from NAHB that gives home builders, remodelers, trade contractors, suppliers and other industry professionals vital knowledge concerning the basic elements of a warranty so they can avoid costly mistakes.

Written by NAHB’s legal experts and available from BuilderBooks.com, “Warranties for Builders and Remodelers” explains the rights, responsibilities and recommended practices and procedures for developing a warranty program.

The publication contains:

  • Clear explanations of implied warranties, statutory warranties, warranties imposed by courts and more
  • Sample language and formats for warranty documents
  • Tips for drafting warranties that really work
  • A state-by-state list of cases and statutes applicable to construction claims

The book also includes a state-by-state appendix of pertinent cases affecting liability law.

Warranties can promote brand recognition, serve as a marketing tool, be used as a dispute resolution device and give builders, remodelers and other industry professionals a competitive edge.

However, significant legal implications result from furnishing a warranty, implications that builders and remodelers may not fully understand.

“Warranties for Builders and Remodelers” will help inform and protect builders and remodelers. This book should not replace the expertise of legal counsel.
