The Colina Warranty, Explained
As a homebuyer, the last thing you want after closing is a malfunction — and although here at Colina, we have a stellar record when it comes to the quality and longevity of our construction, we like to make sure our homeowners feel assured and confident in their purchase.
That’s why we offer an extensive warranty on every home we build. Curious to learn more about our warranty and about home warranties in general? Let’s break it down.
So, what’s a home warranty anyway?
For starters, a home warranty is quite different from a homeowner’s insurance policy, which covers the loss of a home due to fire or other natural disasters. A home warranty policy is essentially a service contract that covers the cost of household systems and appliances if they stop working.
If you’re buying a used home, a home warranty plan is usually a comfort. You may not know exactly how well the previous owners maintained various components of the house. But even for a new home, a home warranty can provide peace of mind — and serve as a great way to protect your investment for a small fee.
A standard home warranty plan usually includes all major appliances, including water heaters, stoves, refrigerators, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical.
The Colina Homes Warranty
We’re quite proud of our home warranty — especially considering we’ve been claims-free for 12 years in a row. Your Colina home purchase will include a homebuyer warranty from 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty:
10 Year Structural Warranty
This provides coverage against structural and load-bearing elements.
2 Year Distribution Systems Warranty
This provides coverage against defects in wiring, piping, and ductwork.
1 Year Workmanship Warranty
This provides coverage against defects in workmanship and materials.
How much does a home warranty cost?
This depends on the kind of home warranty plan you purchase. Prices depend on location as well. According to improvenet.com, the average cost for basic home warranty coverage ranges from $350 to $600 annually.
