What is the warranty typically provided for new manufactured homes?

A new manufactured home typically comes with a one-year limited warranty for defects. This warranty provides coverage for manufacturing defects and provides homeowners with a certain level of protection against issues that may arise shortly after purchase. During this initial year, the manufacturer is generally responsible for repairing significant defects in materials and workmanship, ensuring that the home meets quality standards as required at the time of sale.

Manufactured home warranties are designed to give buyers peace of mind and cover issues that can be expected to arise early in the life of the home. This one-year period allows homeowners to identify and report defects, giving manufacturers the opportunity to address these concerns swiftly to maintain customer satisfaction and uphold their reputation.

While there may also be additional warranties for certain aspects of the home, such as structural components, these typically follow after the primary one-year limited warranty, making the initial warranty critical for new homeowners.
