What Is A Home Warranty? The need for ten year structural warranties began in the 1970s when Congress suggested that builders escrow 10% of the price of a home to cover structural defects (which statistically occur about as often as major fire damage). As builder margins were not equipped to absorb that 10%, home warranty companies were conceived to bear the risk. They provide a neutral link between the homebuilder and homebuyer should a structural defect occur and offer third-party arbitration services should a disagreement arise.
StrucSure Home Warranty covers major structural failure of the load-bearing portions of new homes for 10 years from the day of closing. The guidelines for coverage have been established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and include defects such as framing members, roof trusses, floor joists and the foundation system. Limitations are set forth in the warranty booklet which is issued at closing. Our 2-10 warranty also backs builders on workmanship and materials for the first year and delivery systems (i.e. ductwork and pipes) through the second year. |

"I wanted to thank you again on your heroic efforts to warranty our listing and clear the way for us to close. As I told you in the beginning, you were our last and only hope. Both the builder and I appreciate not only the professional way in which you processed our paperwork so quickly, but also your attention to detail and your follow-up. We truly could not have closed without your help." Kim Kayser, Century 21 of Bartlesville, OK "I've dealt with four warranty companies in the past and StrucSure has the most streamlined process. No mounds of paperwork and procedures. And the warranties are a fantastic marketing tool." Bob Woodley, Joyce Homes
