Buying Decision Simplified
Make the Right Choice when purchasing a new home or hiring a remodeler. Only buy from a builder or hire a remodeler that offers a warranty from 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty® (2-10 HBW®).
The 2-10 HBW Difference
2-10 HBW has the resources, experience and drive to provide the level of innovative value-added service you deserve. Our warranty administration department has a 97% homeowner satisfaction rate for assisting in the resolution of homeowner complaints.
Founded in 1980, 2-10 HBW is the most experienced national warranty company. Our builder members undergo an extensive screening process that analyzes their experience and financial stability. To maintain high quality standards in the building industry, 2-10 HBW builder members must have homes inspected at critical stages of construction by qualified independent inspectors.
New Homes
As a savvy homebuyer, you should only consider buying a home from a builder who offers a warranty from 2-10 HBW. Why? Because a builder who offers a 2-10 HBW Warranty is confident in the quality of his home and proudly backs his home with an express warranty that is secured by a third-party warranty insurer for the entire term of the warranty. As one homeowner noted, “The better the builder, the longer the warranty he should provide.” The 2-10 HBW warranty coverage is paid for by the builder and is effective on the date of closing. Also, the warranty is fully-transferrable to the next homeowner instantly increasing the resale value of your home.
Two-thirds of newly constructed homes have only the builder’s implied warranty obligation which is indefinite and subject to interpretation. Further, even if the homeowner wins an implied warranty claim, he will still only be able to collect his damages provided the builder is in business. No one intends to build a defective home or to deny the homeowners the service to which they are entitled. However, economic conditions have caused unexpected business failures and prevented businesses from satisfying their warranty obligations. With a 2-10 HBW warranty your builder’s obligations are clearly defined in writing, and backed by a third-party warranty insurer.
Market conditions continue to favor homebuyers; however, due to current economic conditions many consumers remain on the fence about whether or not and from whom to purchase a home. Generally buying a home is the single largest investment a consumer will make. So naturally, buyers are concerned about the financial stability of the builder and the structural integrity of the home. When negotiating the purchase of a new home remember to insist that your builder cover your home with a warranty from 2-10 HBW!

Remodeling
In this tentative market, many homeowners choose to remodel instead of sell their current home. If you are considering remodeling, you should only accept bids from a 2-10 HBW Remodeler. You get a written warranty clearly defining the items covered. The warranty coverage is paid for by your remodeler and coverage is effective the date the remodeling project is completed. Also, the 10-year warranty is fully-transferrable to the next homeowner, instantly increasing the resale value of your home.
The 2-10 HBW Home Improvement Warranty program coverage offers one-year remodeler’s workmanship coverage, two-years of remodeler’s systems coverage, and 10 full years of insurance-backed structural defect coverage (if applicable to the remodeling job) on qualified load-bearing components.
