Getting a home warranty is the best way to protect yourself from costly issues down the road. Don’t make the mistake of believing just because you are moving into a new structure that nothing can wrong. Issues may not be visible right away, but there are things that can show up months after you move in. A warranty is the best way to protect yourself from these issues.

Wondering how to even get a home warranty? The first step is to ask your builder if one is included. Do this before the work starts. If they do not offer one, you can get one on your own. Warranties can cover different things such as materials, labor and structural defects.
