Warranty Information

Warranty Summary

Builders who provide the American eWarranty can select from a number of warranty options for a new home.
The following is a general summary of what the warranty includes, excludes and other important information.
Ask your builder for a copy of the American eWarranty which will apply to your new home.


The Year 1 Workmanship and Materials Warranty


The Year 2 Systems Warranty


The Years 1-10 Structural Warranty

The Year 1 Workmanship and Materials Warranty

In the first year, the American eWarranty applies to workmanship and materials. One of the special features is that these items are clearly identified so you know what to expect. You don’t have to guess what the builder will do. Because the warranty is in writing and includes industry standards, you are assured warranted defects will be corrected.

The warranty is not a maintenance agreement. Every new home requires homeowner maintenance. And some items are not included or are beyond the scope of the warranty. For example, furnaces and other manufactured appliances have their own manufacturer’s warranty and are therefore not included in the American eWarranty provided by your builder.

The Year 2 Systems Warranty


This warranty option applies to the delivery portions of the electrical, plumbing and ductwork systems of the home. If included, identified components will function as originally designed.

The Years 1-10 Structural Warranty


This portion of the warranty identifies structural components which are warranted for 10 years. It gives you peace of mind that if a warranted structural component does not meet the tolerances established in the warranty, it will be corrected.
