Maintenance Required

Maintenance Required

The first owner of a new home may receive a copy of a maintenance manual from their residential builder or their warranty provider. These manuals provide useful information on the care and maintenance of the new home. Owners who receive a maintenance manual are advised to read it carefully and undertake the regular maintenance recommended in the manual. It’s important for owners to perform maintenance in keeping with the manual. If a manual has been provided, failure to perform maintenance recommended in the manual is an allowed exclusion in home warranty insurance policies and could result in damages that will not be accepted by a warranty provider. In addition, proper care and maintenance is important to preserve the long-term value of any new home.
