Flexible Remodeler Warranty Offers Choices!  Residential Warranty Company, LLC (RWC) recently revised its Remodelers Warranty Program, making it more flexible and user-friendly than ever, to deal with an ever growing and challenging renovation market. With revamped coverage and options and a thorough screening process, RWC is poised to help Remodelers cope with current trends and issues.

Choosing a qualified Remodeler to undertake a home improvement project can sometimes be a challenge. These days, most anyone can be labeled a “Remodeler” regardless of experience or background. As a result, the home remodeling industry has experienced somewhat of a “black eye” due to a few unprofessional contractors providing inferior workmanship and creating a poor image for the industry as a whole.

Often the decision to remodel leads to more choices and even more questions on the part of the homeowner. What are the Remodeler’s qualifications?What kind of guarantee isprovided?Is there any choice in the warranty offered?How do I know if the Remodelerchosen for the job is experienced and professional?What happens when there is a disagreement? RWC’s Remodeler Warranty addresses many of these issues and concerns for Remodelers and their Customers. This flexible warranty allows for customization based on each project and specific needs of the Customer. Two unique coverage options are available:

• 3-Year Workmanship & Materials Coverage
• 5-Year Structural Coverage with 1-Year Workmanship & Materials Coverage
• State-specific coverage is available in Indiana and Minnesota to meet state statutes.

The Remodeler’s responsibility is limited to the first year with RWC’s Insurer providing the protection in subsequent years.

Eligibility to offer RWC protection requires each Remodeler have a history of financial stability, technical competence in constructing quality renovations, and good customer references. The warranty also provides a process to resolve disputes about the quality of the work, should any develop. Having a written warranty effectively reduces misunderstandings that can result from a verbal agreement and a handshake. If, for any reason, an RWC Remodeler is unable to fulfill his/her warranty obligations, RWC’s Insurer will do so.

In today’s world, providing any type of construction service without an independently written warranty as backing is very much a “high wire act.” Whether it is calming a customer’s concerns or averting a full-fledged lawsuit, RWC’s resolution process, which includes binding arbitration when needed, works effectively to resolve disputes. Take your chances and go it alone in a court of law before a jury of 12 homeowners…or…let an experienced warranty provider mediate the issues putting the complaint on a fast track to resolution.

For more information on the RWC Remodelers Warranty Program, contact RWC at 1-800-247-1812 ext. 2149 or send an e-mail to sales@rwcwarranty.com.  Texas Remodelers may call HOME of Texas, an RWC affiliate, at 1-800-445-8173 ext. 2149 or email home@homeoftexas.com.

Creative builders often look for innovative ways to generate revenue in shaky economic times that sometimes turn into rather profitable segments for their companies.  While traditional remodeling and commercial construction are often the “go to” projects, at Residential Warranty Company, LLC (RWC), we found an innovative group tackling a bit of a hybrid in converting commercial space into residential space. While not exactly a “new” type of construction by any means, we simply have received more and more requests for warranties on “converted” buildings. So… we are now answering that call from you!

The newest entry on RWC’s “Menu of Choices” is our Conversion Warranty! Those old warehouses, office buildings and schools that are being gutted and turned into various types of living spaces now can be warranted with coverage designed specifically for that type of work. The conversion warranty offers two options: a) 2 Year Workmanship and Materials coverage or b) 5 Year Structural with 1 Year Workmanship and Materials coverage.

• The 2 Year Workmanship and Materials option works well with projects that have little or no structural renovation taking place. Standards cover workmanship, materials and selected portions of mechanical systems for two years. The Builder is responsible for warranted defects arising in Year 1 and RWC’s insurer is responsible for warranted defects arising in Year 2.

• The 5 Year Structural with 1 Year Workmanship and Materials option is designed for projects that entail an overhaul of the foundation or structural system in the building as well as a non-structural makeover. Major structural defects are warranted for 5 years; workmanship, materials and selected portions of mechanical systems for one year. The Builder is responsible for warranted defects arising in Year 1 and RWC’s insurer is responsible for warranted defects arising in Years 2 - 5.

A primary benefit to the buyer of course is the security factor. If the builder defaults in Year 1, RWC’s insurer picks up the obligation. In this day and age, that simple reassurance goes a long way to calming buyer’s concerns when every other headline reports some other builder closing his doors.

Individual projects will be evaluated by our technical staff to determine if they are eligible for coverage. Rates are based on projected annual sales volume. For more information, please call 1-800-247-1812 ext. 2149 or send an e-mail to sales@rwcwarranty.com.
