The One Year Warranty

Your home’s statutory one year warranty coverage begins on the date you take possession of the home and ends on the day before the first anniversary of this date.

For example, if your home’s date of possession is October 23, 2005, the one year warranty begins on October 23, 2005 and ends on October 22, 2006.

The one year warranty is provided by your builder and it requires that the home be:

  • Constructed in a workmanlike manner and free from defects in material;
  • Fit for habitation;
  • Constructed in accordance with the Ontario Building Code; and
  • Free of major structural defects.
Determine if Item is Covered by 1 Year Warranty
Homeowners and builders who are in doubt as to whether an item is covered by the warranty should consult the Construction Performance Guidelines which describe many of the most commonly reported warranty service requests and indicate which are covered by the warranty.
How to Request Warranty Service
Please see Statutory Warranty for details on how to request service for items covered by the One Year Warranty. 
Additional Non-Builder Warranties

Builders should also provide copies of any statutory warranties given by manufacturers, suppliers and subcontractors which may extend beyond the first year. In these cases, claims should be made directly to the manufacturer or distributor.
