New Construction Homes Newburgh NY ~ Do I Get a Warranty?
In the State of New York, All Builders Must Provide Buyers with a New Home Warranty 
When working with buyers for a new home in Newburgh NY I frequently get asked about a Home Warranty. Most question “if” the builder is giving a warranty, rather than “what does the builder cover”. The expectations are not always there that a warranty even exists. I have actually found that to be a bit surprising. New York State law has taken away a good deal of the concerns as it requires the builders to provide a warranty on all new construction homes. New York State law works to protect the consumer by placing specific requirements on the builders of how the warranty works, and is required to be included.

New York State Law 777-Housing Merchant Implied Warranty
- One year’s protection against faulty workmanship and defective materials
- Two year’s protection against defective installation of the plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling systems
- Six year’s protection against structural defects
Builders provide a copy of the details with their set of contracts for review. Your actual warranty is given at the transfer of title. The details spell out the process for any grievance and how to handle any problems along the way. Important to look for is the deadlines any protocol for the process. The warranty does not cover any construction done by the homeowner.
