New Home Warranty Program                                                                      If your home was built recently in Western Canada, this link will be useful.

The Residential Construction Performance Guide is a pdf file of minimum standards which can be used to determine if your home qualifies for warranty repairs. Time limits to the warranty are 1, 2, 5 and 10 years after occupancy. For more info, feel free to contact me by email.

A warranty inspection before the time limits expire can save you thousands of dollars in future repair bills.
