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.

Residential Warranty Company, LLC (RWC) has been and remains a family organization since our inception, never having changed hands since the doors first opened in 1981. This is something we cannot say about our biggest competitors who have chosen a different path from large corporate overreach.  In an incorporated and automated world, we believe a little personal attention goes a long way.

We have maintained that belief for over 40 years in the business, making us one of the oldest and largest names in the industry, providing a strong foundation of security. We know that one size doesn’t fit all, so we offer a wide range of home warranties and services through a network of affiliated companies. This means you get comprehensive coverage and effective risk management tailored to your needs. Additionally, our insurer has held an “A- (Excellent)” rating by A.M. Best since 2001 and has over $130 million in surplus equity.

Perhaps most importantly, when you join us, you are not simply a customer. You are family. So, we invite you to come and knock on our door. We are always waiting for you.

Recently the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs informed Residential Warranty Company, LLC (RWC) that we are responsible to verify ownership of the new home that is being sold to the new home owner(s) in the state of New Jersey, before issuing any warranty paperwork. This requirement is per Directive 15, dated June 26, 2018.

The directive indicates that we can accept a copy of the contract for sale or a copy of the deed. A construction contract may be used when there is no transfer of title. This is typical when the homeowner owns the land and contracts with a builder to build a new home for his or her own personal use and occupancy.

Effective May 1, 2024, RWC will require this proof before issuing the NJ Affidavit to obtain your Certificate of Occupancy, the RWC Application for Enrollment form, and Limited Warranty booklet. Warranty Express will have an option for you to upload these documents or they can be emailed to NJDocs@RWCWarranty.com

Any questions should be directed to Ron Sweigert at 800-247-1812, x2178.

NAHB, a leader in safety and health education and compliance assistance for residential construction, has released a new mobile tool called the NAHB Jobsite Safety Handbook. This application — available in both the Apple and Google Play app stores — was built to help home builders, contractors, and workers identify safe work practices.

This app covers the main safety issues residential builders and trade contractors need to focus on to reduce worksite accidents and injuries. Information is meant to provide a basic guide to understanding and conforming with the federal safety and health requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and OSHA standards and regulations.

The app features resources for both classroom learning and on-the-job compliance, such as NAHB’s full Jobsite Safety Handbook, more than 50 safety video toolbox talks, all NAHBNow safety content, and an interactive quiz for users to test their safety knowledge. The app’s content is available in 15 languages.

This handy new app is a great tool for home builders and managers to engage workers onsite. Use the video content during safety stand downs on specific topics, or have new employees or trades take a “pop quiz” on jobsite safety in the app.

The NAHB Jobsite Safety Handbook app is free to download for both members and non-members.
