Warranty & Customer Care

Congratulations on the purchase of your Fischer & Frichtel home! The outstanding service our customers rave about doesn’t end on closing day. It continues through our Warranty & Customer Care Program. 

Fischer & Frichtel homes are covered by a Ten Year Limited Warranty provided through Residential Warranty Company LLC (RWC). What makes our program unique is that during year one, service requests related to defective materials and workmanship are managed by F&F Homes and the sub-contractors who built your home!

In year two, specific portions of the HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing systems are serviced as needed. For the remaining eight years, your warranty is from RWC and applies to major structural defects, as further defined in the warranty booklet. If the home is sold within the 10 year term, the RWC warranty will transfer to the new owner.

An informational booklet about the RWC Warranty is included in the warranty packet you received at closing. Please take time to review this booklet and follow the instructions on the first page to obtain your Confirmation Number.  Please familiarize yourself with the warranty coverage and limits.

For your convenience, we provide a 30 DAY SERVICE DATE and an 11 MONTH SERVICE DATE after your closing and request you submit service items to us. Warranty Request items must be submitted electronically in your Personal Homeowners Warranty Portal. All 30 DAY SERVICE PERIOD requests should be entered and uploaded to the Homeowners Warranty Portal No later than 25 DAYS after your closing date. All 11 MONTH SERVICE PERIOD requests should be entered and uploaded to the Homeowners Warranty Portal No later than 11 MONTHS after your closing date.
