Buffington Homes will be responsible for the cost of parts and labor for items covered under the terms of this warranty. 10 Year Structural Warranty. Covers structural elements of the home. This warranty is backed by 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty.

Communicating with your Buffington Team Contract to Close:  Community Sales Manager  Community Construction Manager Post-close Warranty:  Community Customer Service Manager

After Hours Emergencies Should an emergency occur after hours, emergency contact numbers for the plumbing, electrical, HVAC and roofing contractors are located on the sticker posted on the inside of the water heater door. EMERGENCIES ARE DEFINED AS: Total loss of water or sewer service in the home not related to a neighborhood outage. For example, one commode malfunctioning does not constitute an emergency if another commode is still operable. Total loss of power in the home not related to a neighborhood outage. Air conditioner not cooling when the outside temperature is above 90 degrees. Heater not working when the outside temperature is below 60 degrees. Roof or plumbing leaks causing the home to be flooded or extensively damaged. Please note: For proper documentation and follow-up, emergency requests sent directly to the contractor should also be submitted via an online warranty request at

What about landscaping? Buffington will provide a landscaped front and side yard with trees and scrubs per community specifications. Buffington will be responsible for the maintenance of the landscaping up to the date of closing. In the event there is a belief that the landscaping was not cared for properly up to the closing date, Buffington Homes must be notified by the submittal of a warranty request noting concerns with the landscaping no later than three (3) days after the closing date. Beyond this 3 day period, the landscaping on the home is excluded from warranty coverage. Buffington Homes has established the grade to ensure proper drainage away from the home. It is recommended that any additional landscaping be installed at least 30 days after sod installation. Native trees are not covered under warranty at any time, before, during, and after construction.

Customer Surveys/Feedback Buffington Homes is committed to providing a quality customer experience and providing exceptional service before, during and after the sale. With that end in mind, Buffington Homes provides four (4) survey opportunities for customer feedback to let us know how we are doing and where we need to improve. Pre-sheetrock Experience Survey- The homebuyer is asked to complete this survey at the conclusion of the pre-sheetrock walk with the Community Construction Manager. Closing Survey- The homebuyer is asked to complete this survey at the title company at the conclusion of the closing. Move-in Survey- This survey will be sent to the homeowner 30 days after closing. Year-end Survey- This survey will be send to the homeowner at the end of the first year after closing.
