Extended warranty coverage on appliances and systems is an excellent approach to add an extra level of protection to the homes you build. Even brand-new appliances can sometimes be unreliable, and our aim is to ensure both you and your buyers feel more at ease and have heightened confidence in their new home.
Did you know that as a member of the RWC warranty program, you are automatically approved to offer your homeowners our Key Estates Extended Warranty without paying additional membership fees. And best of all, you can start enrolling homes today at www.KeyEstatesWarranty.com/builders.
Buyers want a worry-free living experience, especially in a brand-new home, so if a covered item fails, Key Estatehttps://www.rwcwarranty.com/builders/key-estates/s will be there to ease the financial burden of repair or replacement.
You'll find we do a few things differently than the other warranty folks. For example, coverage is flexible, there are no black out areas, and homeowners can use the repair provider of their choice to perform service work if needed. We do not force them to choose from a limited pool of technicians.
Our extended warranty benefits you as a builder, too, by enhancing your reputation and credibility. Offering a high-quality, affordable warranty shows your commitment to long-term value. Plus, when issues arise post-settlement, homeowners contact Key Estates directly—not you—so we help take those post-sale hassles and concerns off your plate. Peace of mind for homeowners means more signed contracts for you.
Feel free to contact your Account Executive with any questions, call 866-394-5135 x2188, or email sales@KeyEstatesWarranty.com.

Nearly all construction sites have unprotected sides and edges, wall openings or floor holes at some point, which pose a hazard to the workers moving around the jobsite. These openings and sides MUST be protected with guardrails or covers.
Safe Work Practices:
- Guardrails must always be installed around openings in floors, and across openings of walls and windows greater than 18", when the work area is 6 ft. or more above a lower level.
- For window openings with a 6 ft. fall hazard, guardrails must be installed if the bottom sill height is less than 39".
- A complete guardrail system consists of: 1) a top rail; 2) a midrail; and 3) a toeboard.
- Install top rails at 42" high, with midrails placed halfway between the top of the guardrail top rail and the floor or walking/working surface.
- Install toeboards a minimum of 4" along the edge of the walking or working surface to protect from falling debris and objects, such as tools or materials.
- Any stairway with four or more risers or a height of more than 30" must be protected by a guardrail system, also known as stair rails.
- Any 2" or greater opening in the floor must be protected and covered.
As a builder, you are responsible for providing your clients with something that is arguably one of the most important components of their lives - their home. So, it naturally follows that the company you choose to have your back would need to be stable. Reliable. Honest. Transparent. You would expect to not only receive a proven warranty that comes with unparalleled protection and customer service, but also to be kept apprised of the inner workings of the company providing it. Because if there is anything life has taught us over the past few years, it is that not all surprises are good ones, and knowledge is crucial to keeping your own business running on an even keel.
