LEGEND HOMES refers to “defects” in the Warranty Agreement as flaws in the materials or workmanship used in constructing the Improvements, due to non-compliance with the Residential Construction Performance Guidelines compiled by the National Association of Home Builders. In the addition to the following brief overview, please refer to your Homeowner Handbook that will specify in detail how we will address issues that may arise in the first year of ownership of your new home.  As the “Warranty Agreement” is a legal document, you will find in the next sections language that explains the precise limits of our obligations.  We encourage you to read these sections carefully to avoid any future misunderstanding about this Warranty Agreement.

Cosmetic Deficiencies Covered for 30 Days

LEGEND HOMES will repair Cosmetic Deficiencies only if such problems are caused by defects in materials or workmanship.  Cosmetic Deficiencies caused by Owner are not covered by this Warranty Agreement. Unless Owner notifies LEGEND HOMES in writing of a specific Cosmetic Deficiency within 30 days of the closing date, the Cosmetic Deficiency will not be covered by this Warranty Agreement.  
Cosmetic Deficiencies means:

• Chipped or scratched countertops, cabinets, paint, flooring, porcelain tile, grout, marble, plumbing fixtures, glass, windows or mirrors.
• Dents or dings in garage door
• Torn screens 


Performance Guidelines Covered for One Year 

LEGEND HOMES warrants that the home will be constructed in accordance with the Performance Guidelines for a period of one year beginning on the closing date of the home, unless a shorter period is specified in the Performance Guidelines. 

One Time Touch-up Coupon

LEGEND HOMES offers a One Time Touch-up Coupon which can be used anytime in the first year after your closing date and expires on your one year anniversary. This coupon covers the drywall issues that may occur as your home acclimates to being a conditioned space.  We do recommend letting your home go through a complete heating and cooling cycle, or around the tenth or eleventh month of the first year in your home, to redeem your coupon.  

Ten Month Warranty Visit

As part of the LEGEND HOMES commitment to quality and service we offer a Ten Month Warranty Visit. During this visit one of our Customer Care Representatives will review your home with you to identify any warrantable items that need to be addressed before the end of your warranty period. Your representative can also help you identify homeowner maintenance items that need your attention to insure the longevity of your Legend Home. Quality workmanship, in conjunction with a good home maintenance plan will make your homeowner experience a pleasant one.   

The Next Ten Years… 

The State of Oregon has a “statue of repose” for the protection of consumers, for a period of ten years.  If you suffer damage or loss within that time, caused by a defect from the original construction, you may report it to LEGEND HOMES under the warranty. You should follow the steps spelled out in ORS701.565, to protect your interests, by notifying LEGEND HOMES in writing of the specific defect (s) you are concerned about, and we will do what we can to help you. All of us at Legend are proud of our homes, and we intend them to last.
